Chapter 209
Nicole held back her frustration as she walked into the kitchen, slipped on a pair of gloves, and started washing the dishes and cleaning up.
She hadn’t done this kind of work in ages, and her mind was elsewhere, so she accidentally broke two bowls.
The viewers watching were left speechless once again.
If Nicole had just admitted she couldn’t cook, like Alicia did, no one would have thought anything of it.
But she insisted she could cook, even volunteered to do it, acting like she was some kind of
pro.
She went from struggling through a tough childhood to suddenly becoming a pampered heiress, so everyone thought maybe she’d be good at cooking. But wow, nobody saw this disaster coming.
But come on, she broke down and cried three times just making a meal. Who wouldn’t lose it watching that?
After the other three headed out, one of the crew members mentioned that Nicole was
crying again.
They were all thinking the same thing: thank goodness they’d gotten out of there fast enough.
As for comforting her? Not a single one of them even thought about it.
Caleb and Nicolas were honestly just getting tired of how much Nicole was crying.
Before this, Nicole didn’t cry nearly as often. Usually, she’d only get upset if she felt wronged or didn’t get what she wanted.
Or sometimes after an argument with Alicia.
Usually, it was just once a week, or sometimes every ten days, half a month, or even once a month.
That was when they could actually muster up the patience to comfort her.
But now, with her breaking down several times a day, it was just getting on their nerves.
They’d been running around and working all day, already dead tired. Who had the energy left to play babysitter?

Chapter 209
Nicole only ever cried about her own problems-did she ever stop to think about anyone
else?
She used to be so thoughtful back at home, so why was she acting so spoiled and
unreasonable out here?
Over on the other team, after they finished eating, Alicia waved Hannah off, telling her to go. relax while they handled the mess.
The way the two teams got along was worlds apart.
Once both teams had finished eating and were pretty much done resting, the production team called everyone out to the yard.
By then, it was already getting dark, and the yard was lit up with lanterns.
Once everyone had taken their seats, the lights from the lanterns cast a warm glow across the yard.
The host flashed a smile at the group and announced, “Okay, for today’s challenge, you four teams were competing to see who could collect the most ingredients.
“It’s pretty obvious-Team Two and Team Four clinched the win.”
He turned to Nicolas and the others, grinning, “Which means you two teams have a little penalty coming your way. Time to play some Truth or Dare!
“According to a rule suggested by our viewers, the winning teams get to throw whatever questions they want at the losing teams-and you guys have to spill the truth, no dodging!”
Nicolas shrugged, “Fair’s fair. Let’s do it.”
‘Man, I really hope Alicia asks me who I’m into, Nicolas thought to himself.
The other three didn’t have any objections either.
Nicole figured Alicia and probably one of the others would try to put her on the spot with their questions.
But she wasn’t bothered—since everyone was supposed to be honest on the surface, she had nothing to worry about.
‘Besides, who’s really going to know if I’m telling the truth or not?’ Nicole thought to herself.
Thinking that, she nodded and agreed to go along with the Truth challenge as her penalty.
The production team rolled out a machine and set it up right in the middle of the group.

The host said, “This is a lie detector. The losing teams have to wear it while answering questions.”
