Chapter 241

“Come on, Charley. For a man to get such injuries just from picking some wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains, that’s just ridiculous,” full of sarcasm, Lydia couldn’t resist taking a jab at the Harvey family.

“Of course, I know my condition. I appreciate your concern, Mr. Hall, Mr. Hilcast,” Joseph said, recognizing Charley’s provocation and ignoring Lydia. He was only participating to get some fresh air and keep an eye on Ashley, ensuring she didn’t fall for Edwin’s tricks!

The commotion earlier had been so loud that even Joseph in the tent had heard it, which was really annoying. He was worried that Ashley might truly be captivated by Edwin and do something that could harm the Harvey family. Ashley might not realize how dangerous Edwin was, but Joseph was well aware.

Joseph couldn’t help but glance at Selina, only to replace that her gaze had never once turned toward him. It was as if everything happening around them was none of her concern. ‘The root of all this trouble was caused by Selina herself! What’s with her attitude? Is she simply detached and indifferent, or is she secretly mocking me?‘ he thought.

Since Joseph had said that, everyone stopped making further comments. The production team was more than happy with the situation.

As the bonfire was lit, the production team announced the activity for the evening: Truth or Dare. It was a classic party game, but it became quite intriguing with this group of high–profile guests. Especially Truth! With the right match–ups, the topics and attention generated could be explosive.

Due to the large number of guests, the production team arranged a card drawing. The guest who drew the red Joker would be the winner, and the guest who drew the black Joker would be the loser. The winner could choose either Truth or Dare for the loser.

For Truth, the winner would ask a question, and the loser would have to answer. For Dare, the winner could make the loser do something, such as doing push–ups, going on a ten–minute mountaintop expedition, and so on.

The first draw was made. To everyone’s surprise, Selina drew the red Joker. The one who drew the Black Joker was… Trevon!

The comments poured in: [Ah, the production team really knows how to create a show! Starting with an explosion!]

Another read: [Mr. Brady truly lives up to his role as the sponsor, stepping in personally to boost the ratings. I’m increasingly confident that Season 4 of ‘Serenity of Rural Life‘ will become the highest–rated variety show in history.]

Someone else commented: [I’m starting to wonder if this show, which was supposed to focus on peaceful country life, has turned into a romance variety show. Wow, with so many male and female couples, it’s catering to everyone’s preferences.]

Selina played with the red Joker card in her hand, a faint smile at the corner of her lips. “Mr. Brady, can I really ask for anything?”

“Of course,” Trevon replied.

“Don’t be angry then,” she said.

“I may be angry with others, but I won’t be angry with you,” he responded.

Although their relationship hadn’t been officially announced yet, Trevon’s every word seemed to confirm it indirectly. This left the unaware guests staring at Trevon in shock. It would be hard to believe that Trevon and Selina had no special relationship.

Trevon, who had never appeared on the show before, made it clear from the start that he was there for Selina. Even the least discerning person could tell that Trevon’s talk about boosting ratings and making history was just a facade.

Even if Trevon deliberately created a romantic storyline with Selina for the show’s ratings, it was a significant sacrifice. The audience, of course, was thrilled and went wild over the drama.

“Mr. Brady, sing ‘Conquest‘ for me,” Selina said.

It was a shocker. Selina really went for it.

Trevon agreed readily, “Of course.” He began singing. His deep, magnetic voice, with its natural resonance, sounded as if it were coming through a high–quality sound system. The performance was mesmerizing, making the listeners feel as if they were in the presence of a potential award- winning artist.

Nobody expected Trevon’s vocals to be so exceptional. As the youngest leader of the Brady family, his talent was unmatched in the industry.

At the end of the song, countless applauses resounded.

Charley winked at Selina and said, “Selina, we have you to thank this time. It’s been ages since we last heard Trevon sing!”

Selina waved the red Joker card and said, “Thanks to this card.”

“So… How did I do? Give me a comment,” Trevon teased.

Chapter 241

Seeing Devon’s passionate eyes, Selina smiled back. “I liked it very much.”

Every interaction between this couple could cause a screaming craze.

The hot topic immediately exploded: [Mr. Brady Personally Sings Conquest for Queen Selina!] It caused a sensation! Countless onlookers flocked in to watch the spectacle!

Ashley bit her teeth in jealousy, nearly grinding them to pieces. She envied Selina for receiving Trevon’s affection. Watching Trevon and Selina display their affection was like being stabbed in the heart with a knife. She was upset she wasn’t the one who drew the red Joker. Then, she could have had the chance to interact with Trevon!

Next, after several more rounds of Truth or Dare, Charley drew the red Joker, and Ashley drew the black Joker. This meant that Charley could make a request of Ashley.

Charley thought for a while and said, “Ashley, I want to know what you think of Edwin.”

“What?” Ashley was already worried that Charley might use this opportunity to make things difficult for her. She didn’t expect him to ask such a direct question. Now, everyone’s attention was focused on Ashley, including Edwin’s.

Edwin’s eyes were full of desire and suspicion, like an invisible arrow about to pierce Ashley’s heart. Ashley didn’t want Edwin to feel that being with her was hopeless, as she would lose an exceptional person. However, with Joseph around, if Edwin was indeed manipulating Ashley…

Ashley glanced at Joseph for help but found that he wasn’t looking at her. He had lowered his head, lost in thought. Was he deliberately giving Ashley a chance to prove herself?

Quinton gritted his teeth and said, “What kind of ridiculous question is that? How could Ashley have any thoughts about Edwin? It’s not like she could have any other thoughts about Trevon’s friends!”

“I’m afraid they’re deliberately trying to create a rift between Ashley and Joseph. He was already unhappy about Ashley interacting with Edwin, and the audience is watching closely…” someone replied.

Although it was just a game, hidden secrets were beneath the surface. Ashley had to think carefully about her response. She lowered her head, pondered momentarily, and then said, “I think he is a really good person. As it’s our first meeting on the show, I can’t say much more than that.”

“Edwin’s a good person? Well, that’s all for me. Let’s move on.” Charley shrugged and looked cynical.

Someone then commented: [I can see that someone is jealous.]

Another comment read: [I don’t care. Charley must be jealous. Edwin’s a jerk! He’s a two–timer!]

Someone commented: [Edwin, go comfort Charley! Don’t flirt with Ashley anymore!]

Another comment read: [This is scary to watch.]
