Chapter 25 - Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 26 Atlass words snapped the group to reality .

Sophia , who was already starving , said , There should be plenty of pheasants and rabbits in the woods .

Lets go for them .

But its getting dark .

Its a bit difficult to hunt now , Atlas said .

I wonder if there is any seafood at the beach ? Shall we go pick some to tide over for now ? Lucian pointed to the beach and suggested .

Exactly .

If we cant catch any game , seafood will do too .

Sophia nodded in agreement .

Finnian restrained his emotions and followed them , saying as he walked , Alright , well make do with some seafood tonight and hunt tomorrow .

With that , the four of them headed toward the beach .

Upon their arrival at the beach , the sky was about to darken , Sophia hurriedly said upon seeing the distant sunset , I want to take a picture .

Sure , Ill take it for you , Atlas said , taking out his phone to snap a photo for her .

Lucian and Finnian took off their shoes , finding the water crystal clear , but not a single seabed creature , not even sight .

They moved to a deeper spot but found nothing there either .

How come ? Lucian was a bit dumbfounded Finnian also thought that they would at least find some seafood , but there was nothing shell , in He looked up and saw Sophia in a strapless top , constantly posing with a smile by the beach and welcoming the sea breeze while Atlas was taking pictures for her .

After a while , Atlas put away his phone and asked , Did you get anything ? What do you think ? Finnian retorted .

Atlas was a bit annoyed , complaining inwardly that Finnian and Lucian couldnt even handle such an easy task .

But he dared .

not to say it out loud .

After all , the live camera was right there , and their every move was live streaming .

Nothing ? Dont fish and shrimp swim near the shore ? Atlas said with some confusion .

He quickly walked forward but found nothing edible , either .

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation .

If they couldnt find food , staying in the woods for half a month would likely starve them to death .

By then , it would be a huge disgrace to the Bennett family .

Sophia was still scrolling through the photos when she heard then .

What now ? What will we eat tonight ? She walked over briskly , an immediate weight on her heart .

Why dont we search the beach first ? Maybe there are any anims around at night .

If not , we can look for some fruit , Finnian suggested.

With no other options , they could only nod in agreement .

66 Chapter 26 Returning to the beach , they searched around but found no animals .

Even worse , as night fell , the mosquitoes swarmed toward them like crazy .

Sophia was wearing a halter top , her shoulders bitten by mosquitoes , itching so badly she almost screamed .

Everyones out foraging for food , and shes just flaunting herself there ? ] [ Sophias being a flirt , isnt she ? She made Finnian work in the water while she just kept taking photos .

] [ Am I the only one who thinks Sophia and Atlas are here to date Since joining the group , theyve been all lovey dovey .

If there werent people around , would they have gone straight to bed ? ] [ Ditto .

Are they flirting or just dating ? ] Mind your language .

Sophia is just too pure hearted .

She still retains her innocence , unlike you , who are always caught up in cunning schemes .

] The fans watching the livestream immediately started arguing .

Meanwhile , Sophias group was walking back by the sea , surrounded by buzzing mosquitos .

Its s so itchy .

Why are there so many mosquitos ? Sophia was dumbfounded .

She kept rubbing her shoulders , only to be bitten on her arm , and even her legs started to itch .

She scratched frantically , and several bloody scratches appeared on her fair skin soon .

Go back and change your clothes .

Luckily , I brought some essential balm , Atlas said .

They didnt listen to Odalyss advice earlier , so they didnt put on long sleeve clothes , and their arms got scratched at noon .

After dealing with the scratches , they didnt take it to heart .

Now that they got bitten , they quickly returned to change clothes By the time they changed clothes and came out again , it was already pitch dark outside .

They could vaguely hear something roaring , and they dared not venture out .

So what row ? Im starving .

Sophia spoke softly .

With nothing but their flashlights , they sat in the cave , which hadnt been cleaned yet and looked a bit messy .

Whats that smell ? Suddenly , Atlas caught the scent wafting through the air , his stomach rumbling .

He quickly got up , flashlight in hand , and took a few steps outside .

Not far away ahead , he saw a flicker of firelight .

Theres firelight over there .

Group B is probably having dinner Lets go check it out , he suggested .

Hearing him , the other three got up and walked out , too .

Following the firelight , they found Odalys , Stellan , Freya , and Selah all sitting around a bonfire , eating and chatting merrily .

The aroma wafted from their direction .

As Group A approached , they found piles of fish bones and spins littered the ground while the broth in the pot emitted a rich fragrance , causing their stomachs to rumble incessantly .

You ate without us ? Atlas was taken aback .

2/8 Mon , Jan b 19 : Chapter 26 66 % Not only did Group Breast fish , but they also made boiled fish .

Jodging by the bones on the ground , they seemed to have a feast , which utterly irritated Atlas .

Hearing his voice , Freya turned around with a puzzled face .

Yeah .

Why ? Youre not on our team , of course , were catching fish for ourselves , Whats this ? Are you questioning us ? she sneered , She had no interactions with Atlas , but since they treated Odalys poorly , she naturally wouldnt get her nice on .

If it werent for Odalys today , she would have been bitten by a sake .

If the snake were venomous , she might have lost her life there .

She remembered this favor .

When someone picked a fight , she immediately stood up .

Excuse me ? We just arrived and are unfamiliar with the terrain .

We all came together , so you should at least take care of us , What if we get into trouble ? Youll be implicated too , wont you ? Atlas spoke as if it were only natural , which caused Stellan to laugh out loud Are you trying to guilt trip us ? Your members tried to bully Odalys this afternoon , and now youre questioning us .

We come together for the show , so we have to pamper you like a baby ? When we joined the shown to latch onto us , right ? Stellan exposed his facade directly .

the director made it clear : were divided into two teams , independent of each other .

Now that you couldnt find food , you Atlas stood there , feeling rather embarrassed .

He didnt expect trying to grab a bite would be labeled shameless .

After all , he was rich , and no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this .

Dont misunderstand .

We just came to see how you were doing thinking you might not have eaten yet , and maybe we can figure things out together .

Suddenly , Sophia walked over .
