Danny, listening from the side, pressed his pink lips together slightly to suppress his excitement.
‘Daddy is going to find Mommy!‘ he exclaimed inwardly.
As long as Daddy works hard enough, no one else could be his stepfather.
At the variety show recording site.
The production team had rented fields from local villagers in advance, which included plots for vegetables and corn.
After lunch, the program director handed out the task card–harvesting corn.
The time was tight, and the task was heavy.
It required the guests to work together.
Christine looked bewildered and turned to Scarlet, whispering, “Scarlet, can I not go?”
The corn fields were not close to the living quarters.
She was afraid someone might take the opportunity to enter her room.
Scarlet was a veteran in the entertainment industry, skilled in navigating social relationships. With just a few words, she could have Christine stay behind without anyone questioning it.
Unexpectedly, Scarlet simply patted her shoulder and said, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? I can ask the production team to arrange a car to take you to the hospital.”
“No…it’s not necessary!”
That would make her even farther from the fields.
Moreover, it might lead to her being perceived as delicate and needy by the public.
Nowadays, many people prefer a perfect image and wouldn’t tolerate even the smallest flaws.
Even being physically weak could become a reason for criticism.
Having just started to gain popularity, Christine didn’t want to sabotage herself.

Facing Scarlet’s concerned gaze, she couldn’t say much more and innocently stuck out her tongue. “I’m fine, just that it’s been a while since I last harvested rice, and I’m afraid I might slow everyone down.”
Well, if she had to go, then so be it.
There would be surveillance.
If someone did broke in, she could come back quickly.
“You’re overthinking this.” Scarlet smiled. “We’re slower than you, so don’t worry! Let’s go together!”
The group of celebrities, equipped with tools and wearing straw hats, headed out into the corn fields under the blazing sun.
No one knew that as soon as they left, the power was cut off.
As soon as Alex and Danny left, I grabbed the insulated lunch box and headed out with Jane.
When Alex arrived, Jane was in the bedroom, doing her makeup and changing clothes.
On the way, after I finished telling her about the earlier events, Jane, almost on a whim, asked, “Alex and Yasmin… they both have the surname Jackson. Could they be from the same family?”
“Could be?” I thought for a moment. “I haven’t heard Frank mention it.”
According to what I knew, Alana had been married into the Jackson family for several years, and now Alex was the head of the Jackson family.
The Jackson family should have known her well enough.
