Chapter 15

Evangeline brand Jolene’s voice from behind.

Evangeline looked back and saw the five people standing not far away, looking at her with complicated emotions

Evangeline showed no surprise, Juving hear them from a distance when they approached her.

Without looking back, she could discern from the footsteps that it was inderst them,

“What’s the matter” Evangeline asked flatly.

Jodene lai laer lip and Booked at Evangeline in fear.

Hat in the end, she moaned her courage and walked up to a

up the Evangeline.

Tlary stopped alour there feet away from Evangeline.

Evangeline looked at them coldly, without any runtions on her fare:

Jolene sincerely apologized to Evangeline, saying, “Evangeline, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have picked on you before, let alone robbed your things. Now I gemuinely apologize to you and hope you can forgive

Kendrick and Travis al followed unit, looking guilty.

Kriedrick salt“Evangeline, I’m sorry. I was wrong, too. I a man, shouldnt have bullied a little girl like you, I apologize to you now. After we leave here, I will make it up to you. Please forgive me!

Travis also expressed, “Evangeline, l’us very sorry, too. I will compensate you and provide you with resources in the future. Please forgive me!

Sarson peillesd Meghan, who looked awkward, forward and apologued, “Evangeline, I was wring before. Please overlook the matter, I will treat you well and try my last to make up for what I owe year in the future.”

are even now. I won’t bother

Reluctantly, Meghan admired, “I slapulni have rubberl your things before. But you have beaten me up in return. We are eve you again be the future. Thugie your can farget about it, and let’s get along well!”

Indifferently, Engeline looked at them and asked, “Did you come just to apologize to me?

Everyone nodded.

Eagerly, Meglian added, “Now that we have apologized and you’ve forgiven us, we should work together as a team in the future. As a team, it’s natural for us to help and support each other. No, Evangeline, when you are looking for food today, please bring back our portions as well!”

Evangeline snerrer).

She had suspected that these people wouldn’t genuinely apologize for their mistakes, and they indeed had ulterior motives.

“Are they expecting me to be their slave and allow them to boss me around with just a mere sorry? she thought.

“When did I forgive your” Evangeline rebuked with a speer.

Meghan’s Lace darkened instantly. “Evangeline, why are you so narrow–minded? It’s something trivial. We have already apologized. You are too prity to hold on to in! Besides, we’re the ones who got beaten up and have suffered losses. Why can’t you just let it go?”

Meghan actually wanted to tell Evangeline that she didn’t have the right to be mad at them, as she didn’t suffer any losses.

However, as Surwod

won kept warning Meghan, she could only keep those words to hersell.

Indifferently, Evangeline said, “So what if I’m narrow–minded? You

because you can’t defeat me. If I hadn’t trained in combat, my

fate would be worse than yours. You would have them beat me mercilessly and even kill me. You didn’t show your evilness because I have the ability to stop you, nut because you are kind“

Meghan’s face tumed grim. She said, “You are the evil one! You watched us starve to death and refused to help us. You clearly want to kill us. Who can be as wirked as you! If you don’t help us, and something happens to us, you will be the one who killed us, and you will feel guilty forever

Samson grabbed M

Meghan’s wrist and scolded her unhappily, “Stop it Meghant

Tary had promised to apologize and plead with Evangeline for help, yet Meghan had now started to threaten her.

ـل

Angry, Kendrick looked at Meghan and shouted, “Are you out of your mind? We’re here to ask Evangeline for help. Why are you showing such an attitude? If you can’t stop being a princess, just go back and starve to death. Don’t drag us along with you!”

Travis also frowned after hearing her words. He spoke. “I know celebrities can be hypocritical, but you’re just being stupid. I don’t know what’s wrong with the Callagher family for giving up such a good–looking and capable daughter like Evangeline and choosing a brainless, hypocritical, and vicious fake like you.”

Although Travis was a newcomer in the entertainment industry, he had a backer and came from a wealthy family, so he wasn’t worried about offending Meghan

At worst, he would stop working in the entertainment industry altogether.

Initially, he followed Meghan’s instructions because they were still on good terms, and he wanted to avoid jeopardizing his career in the entertainment industry.

However, he was dying. He couldn’t care about that as much anymore.

Life mattered more Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“H–How dare you yell at me!” Meghari’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She had never been yelled at, except by Evangeline.

Yer, now, Travis and Kendrick were scolding her.

Who are they to berate me? she thought

Meghan’s eyes immediately turned red, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked at Samson with an aggrieved look and said with sobs, “Sam, they bullied me. You need to avenge me!

Samson pursed his lips and said nothing.

“Sam, what are you doing? Why aren’t you talking? You promised our parents, Eddie, and Jas that you would protect me!” Meghan questioned.

The more Meghan thought about it, the angrier she became and the louder she cried.

In a deep voice, Samson said, “Meghan, stop it. It’s your fault. You promised to correct your attitude and apologize to Evangeline, but instead, you started threatening her after being me for a moment”

Anger caused Meghan’s voice to tremble “sam, do you think I was wrong 100? I was generous enough to apologize to her after being beaten by her. Why are you still asking so much from me? It was Evangeline’s fault, but you asked me to apologize. And when I apologized, you complained that I was being rude. So, was I being cold when I was forced to apologize after being beaten by her? If I knew you couldn’t protect me. I might as well not let you come with me. You came with me, yet now you can’t protect me, and you helped others bully me. You are a useless bart

Samson’s expression turned gloomy, and a trace of impatience appeared in his eyes.

When Meghan caused a small scene, he might still feel sympathy for her.

However, these days, Meghan had gone too far, which annoyed him.

Kendrick turned to Evangeline and said sincerely, “Evangeline, we are different from Meghan. We truly realized our mistakes and apologized to you. I hope you can accept our apology.

Evangeline looked at him indifferently and scrutinized them momentarily.

She spotted remorse on them.

However, the desire in their eyes could not be ignored.

They did have remorse, but it was not from acknowledging their mistake

They were simply so hungry that they chose to apologize,

If they could find food themselves, they wouldn’t apologize, even if they realized they were wrong.

Evangeline said coldly. “You should apologize for what you did. It proves that you still have some moral values?

Everyone was delighted to bear that.

Evangeline continued, “However, it is your choice to apologize, and my choice to forgive you. Even if you want to repent, it doesn’t mean I have to forgive you. The harm cannot be undone, even with an apology for what you have done to me. So, I won’t accept your apology. Besides, I won’t give

you food. Although I am not as hypocritical and vicious as Meghan, I am not a saint. I will never help people who have hurt me. All of you are line. You can find food on your own. The poultry dropped by the production team were all injured and drugged, so it was easy to catch them. Animals have one thing in common. They all like to take shelter in a hidden place after entering an unfamiliar environment.”

With that, Evangeline turned around and ventured deeper into the forest.

Jolene wanted to follow Evangeline.

However, Evangeline was 100 fast, swinging on the vine and getting far away. Jolene couldn’t catch up at all.

She could only come to a stop in her tracks.

“Humph. I’ve told you. She has no conscience at all. She wants us to die here, yet you humbly begged her. How embarrassing it is!” Meghan remarked sarcastically, gloating over their awkwardness.

Kendrick and Travis ignored her.

After exchanging glances, they ventured into the forest, bringing Jolene with them.

Samson

was worried about leaving Meghan alone, so he stayed with her.

usually like this…

Frowning, he said, “Meghan, why are you acting like a different persont i don’t even know you anymore. You’re not us

Meghan’s body stiffened. She immediately softened her voice and cried heartbreakingly. “I have suffered so many grievances. My teeth were knocked out my face was swollen badly, and my skin was bitten by mosquitoes and insects. Not to mention that there’s nothing to eat, and I am so hungry. I’ve been wronged so much and forced to change my temperament, Yer, you don’t care about me. Instead, you are mad at me. I’m so sad…

She continued to sob.

Samson paused and hugged her.

“Im sorry. I failed to protect you and let you suffer.,” he apologized

He knew that people would become cranky when they were hungry.

Meghan was not only starving but also suffering from so many shocks. It was normal for her character to change.

He believed that she would revert to her original state once they left the place.

Aggrievedly, Meghan said, “What should we do now since Evangeline refuses to help us? Are we going to starve again! I’m so hungry that I can’t even walk anymore….

Gritting his teeth, Samson said, “Let’s keep looking. Even if we can’t catch the poultry, let’s find a few cres. At least we can survive!”

Meghan followed Samson reluctantly

Meanwhile, the kept inwardly cursing him as a lover.

If Samson had a tenth of Evangeline’s ability. I wouldn’t be hungry. What a loser! He is weaker than a woman,’ she thought

A comment read: (Oh my. Meghan is really skilled at making excuse What kind of reasoning is that? Samson is foolish for believing her.)

Another commented: [Luckily, Evangeline didn’t pardon them. They shouldn’t be forgiven

A comment was made: [Evangeline was being kind toward them for pointing out to them that poultry tends to hide. If they are observant, they should be able to locate them in the grass. From Evangeline’s perspective, she had witnessed numerous instances of slow–moving poultry in the grass, causing her to lose interest in catching them. How could these individuals overlook such conspicuous poultry!]

Another comment stated: [Show us Evangeline. I prefer watching her doing nothing over Meghan].

One commented: [Wow, Evangeline is awesome! She has once again defeated the monkeys. I bet they wouldn’t cause her trouble anymore.]

Another response read: I never expected monkeys to be vindictive. They have even learned to ambush, attempting to use it on Evangeline. What an eye–opener.]

Evangeline continued to venture into the woods.

On her way, she observed numerous chickens and hares, but she wasn’t in a hurry to catch them

With plenty of them around, she chose to grab one onto her back

Instead, she was searching for wild fruits.

ل

The monkeys that besieged her typically inhabited the mountains and would venture into the forest but never dwelled in the woods.

This observation suggested the presence of a mountain behind the forest,

Observing that the monkeys were all moving in one direction, she decided to follow suit, trying to locate the mountain.

Evangeline swing on vines intermittently and crawled on the ground occasionally, advancing rapidly.

After about half an hour, she finally passed through the forest and saw the mountain.

Evangeline looked up and spouted the monkeys that had fled from her.

Upon seeing her, they screamed in horror and hastily scampered up the mountain.

Scratching her head, Evangeline remarked, “Am I that scary! As long as they don’t provoke me, I won’t harm them. Why are they running“”

No one was there to answer her.

Evangeline shrugged and began to climb up the mountain.

She was fortunate to discover wild grapes on the mountain.

Phicking two bunchies, she settled on a smooth stone, relishing the scenery as she indulged in her meal

Π

Undoubtedly, the surroundings were remarkably gorgeous, and the air was fresher. The place was better than some highly–rated scenic spots back

home.

After consigning two bunches of mountain grapes, she felt a soreness in her teeth.

“Tsk, I shouldn’t eat too many of it. My teeth can’t take it, she remarked

Evangeline comminued to searði the mountain

She saw a few wild persimmon trees. The fruits were ripe, but many of them had been pecked by birds.

She searched for a long time until she found several intact ones. Climbing up the tree, she picked and consumed them.

Following that, she discovered various types of wild fruits to ear, but none were particularly delicious, so she refrained from consuming too much.

Evangeline spent the whole day in the mountain

The monkeys dispatched a few to keep an eye on her from a distance, concerned that she might encroach upon their territory

Initially, Evangeline had no intention of returning. She desired to watch the stars on the mountain at night. The mountain enabled her to see further and enjoy a better nocturnal view

However, the lack of water in that area prevented her from taking a bath.

After a full day of climbing the mountain and sweating, she needed a bath.

Consequently, she had to retrate her steps.

On the way back, she caught an unlucky lure.

When she returned to the original camp, she saw Meghan and others.

They had nothing before them.

It was clear that they found nothing

They all appeared frightened, with disheveled clothes and messy hair,

Samson, in particular, seemed miserable. His white T–shirt was stained with a lot of blood, and numerous scratches marred his face, giving him a depressed look.

They had encountered something terrible in the forest.
