Chapter 82
Although the popularity of the variety show had dropped to a low, with many viewers even unable to find a way to watch it, the production team remained mysteriously confident, believing that it would soon rebound.
Thanks to Nina and Jacqueline’s arrival, along with Creg in feasting like wealthy elites every day
impressing everyone with his cooking skills, the guests went from living like cavemen to
“My goodness” I didn’t know Greg could cook! His skills are as good as those of a five–star hotel cheff.
Another guest said. “Greg anyone who marries you in the future will be so lucky!”
“Greg, you can consider me!” the male host joked.
“Oh, come on. Are you even competin
even competing with us for Greg? How could you?” a wontin
a guest exclaimed:
The guests gathered around Greg, laughing and joking
“Alright, alright, you all eat. Stop making fun of me. Greg smilled faintly, exuding the grace of an honorable gentleman. As he swiftly handled the ingredients. he subtly glanced toward Nina
Ever since Jacqueline came. Nina lud become inseparable from the latter. She would follow wherever Jacqueline went. Though Jacqueline had said they were good friends, their friendship seemed beyond that and more like a pair of conjoined twins
Furthermore, Greg couldn’t shake off the eerie feeling he had every time he interacted with Jacqueline. He had a premonition that if Nina continued to associate with Jacqueline, something terrible would eventually happen to her.
And Greg was not overthinking. His instincts had never been wrong.
Soon, after Nina finished talking to Jacqueline, she returned to the group. Her eyes sparkled as she eagerly rushed over and asked, “Everyone, make way! Is the new batch of barbecue ready? These grilled seafood are all mine!
Right after Nina said that, Jessica couldn’t help but roll her eyes and then reproached her, “Nina, there are still a lot of people who haven’t had any. You already took quite a bat earlier, and now you’re taking more. Can’t you be a little more considerate! Let everyone have some, and then you can take the rest”
Jessica thought, She really no manners! As expected of someone from the countryside. No upbringing
But before Nina could respond, Jacqueline walked over and said to Jessica with a faint smile, “What’s wrong with Nina taking a linte more of the food? She brought back the seafood here. If she eats a bit more, what’s the issue?”
Jessica was a little intimidated by Jacqueline. After all, Jacqueline had kicked down a palm tree with one leg
Seeing so many people around, Jessica thought jacqueline wouldn’t dare make a scene, so she gathered her courage and argued, “Miss Shaw. I know Nina caught the seafood, but it’s Greg who’s grilling it. Besides, sharing is a virtue. If Nina only thinks about herself, that’s not right, is it? Our Family has good values, and since she’s back with us, she should follow our principles.”
As soon as Jessica finished her speech, a loud “smack” echoed as Jacqueline kicked all the skewers to the ground.
Seeing this. Nina was a little surprised. “Jackie.”
Nina found it strange. Jacqueline was good at hiding her emotions. So among all the war machines, she was one of the gentler ones and caused the
But this time, Nina–felt that Jacqueline seemed to have become a lot grumpier and even more easily angered than herself. She was not sure if it was just an illusion.
The others looked at each other and were stunned by Jacqueline’s sudden outburst. They could not believe she was being always seemed like a quiet and gentle girl
Jessica’s eyes widened in shock. She knew Jacqueline did that to threaten her.
“You–have you lost your mind?” Jessica said.
sr–aggressive as she had
Jacqueline sneered at Jessica and said. “Lost my mind! Hah.. I’m just teaching a lesson to a scum like you. You always disappear when it’s time to work and only stand on the moral high ground, throwing judgment at others. Even if I have to toss the barbecue, I won’t let you have any”
“You!” Jessien was furious after hearing that.
She saw everyone’s eyes on her and felt both embarrassed and angry. Then she stood up abruptly and confrunted Jacqarine, Jacqueline How can you be so rude! I just spoke a little truth, and you go and kick the barbecue to the ground. You’ve really crossed the line!”

“What? This is crossi
crowing the line!” Jacqueline smiled and walked forward.
Before anyone could react, she grabbed Jessica by the collar and colly said, “Tve got worse tricks up my sleeve, you wanna try”.
Jessica had never been treated like this before. She was so angry she was on the verge of tears. “You… let go of me! Greg Greg
Greg didn’t expect the woman who appeared to be better at hiding her emotions than he was to turn out to be even more volatile than Nina. He stepped forward and grabbed Jacqueline’s hand, saying, “Miss Shaww. I apologize for Jessica’s behavior, but can you please let her got Why resort to violence when we can talk things through!”
Jacqueline turned to face Greg, delivering a soul–shaking question. “Greg, do you even consider yourself Nina’s brother! Every time this woman insults Nina, you just stand there like an idiot, I know your mother died giving birth to Nina, but what does that have to do with Nina? Did she ask
for that?
She was forced into this world and treated with nothing but malice from y your family, even being abducted as a baby. Have you ever thought about how mach Nina has suffered over the years? How can you hate her with no guilt? Nina may be forgiving, but don’t wait until she’s completely broken before you regret it and try to make amends. By then, it’ll be too late. Understand?
Jacqueline’s words shocked everyone.
A guest said, “Oh my god. The Woods family has such a dark secret. Greg’s constant indulgence toward his sister was just a public act?”
In the dead silence that followed, Greg’s face darkened, his eyes locked onto Jacqueline
