Chapter 27
After Rebecca took down the package, she needed to come down from the tree. Charlie’s heart nearly stopped when he saw that. He then quickly ran under the tree, spread his arms wide, and said cautiously, “Becky, come down slowly. I’ll catch you.”
He was genuinely scared and thought anxiously, ‘This is my sister, my own sister, and she just had babies a month ago. If she gets hurt today, Mom and Dad will kill me, and Adrian and Bryce won’t let me off either!”
Meanwhile, Rebecca, who was still in the tree, looked at the nervous Charlie below and suddenly smiled.
Her smile was perfectly captured by the live broadcast camera. For a moment, the hearts of hundreds of thousands of viewers seemed to skip a beat, and then the comment section exploded with excitement.
[Becky’s smile is mesmerizing!]
[How old is Becky? Why does her smile make me feel like I’m falling in love for the first time? She’s so beautiful!]
[Exactly… I used to be against Chuck dating, but now I think it’s fine. If it’s Becky, I’m all in for Chuck dating her!]
In the meantime, Theodore was sitting in the car, which was heading towards Ember Ridge. As the car navigated through the narrow mountain road, the driver was nervous and scared, but since Theodore insisted, he had no choice but to continue.
Theodore didn’t notice that the driver was nervous. He was sitting in the back seat and watching the live broadcast of the show on his phone.
In live Room Five, when Rebecca stood in the tree and turned to smile at Charlie below, Theodore was struck by how beautiful she looked. She looked truly stunning.
Theodore then realized he had never seen Rebecca this happy before.
The comment section of the livestream went wild, with everyone praising her smile. Theodore couldn’t help but agree. She did look beautiful.
But soon, his expression darkened because he saw a comment from one of Charlie’s fans agreeing to Charlie and Rebecca dating.
Theodore pondered angrily, ‘Rebecca is my wife. How could she be messing around with Charlie or getting close to another man?”
The good mood he had just had suddenly disappeared, giving way to a wave of strong anger.
Theodore then suddenly lifted his foot and kicked the seat in front of him hard.

Chapter 21
When the driver felt the powerful kick from his boss, he was startled and Immediately hit the brakes, stopping the car on the mountain road.
Once Theodore realized he had scared the driver, he explained with a grim expression, “This has nothing to do with you. Keep driving”
The driver was left utterly speechless.
Wyatt, who was in the front passenger seat, was also terrified.
He thought, ‘Theodore in the back doesn’t notice the dangerous mountain road, but I can see it clearly from the
a passenger seat! The road is narrow, and many sections here don’t have any guardrails. If the driver make mistake, we could all go off the cliff! Theodore’s sudden outburst could have killed us all.‘”
As Wyatt thought of that, he looked at the driver and reassured him, “Don’t mind him. Just focus on driving. The mountain road is dangerous, so don’t get nervous.”
The driver quickly nodded in agreement, started the car again, and continued driving forward.
Wyatt turned to look at Theodore in the back seat. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Theodore, I mean…we’re almost at Ember Ridge. Could you hold off on watching the stream?
“Even if you’re hurrying to catch your wife in the act, you should think about your own safety first. If you scare the driver again like you did just now, we might not be going to catch her cheating. Instead, we might be delivering your inheritance to your wife.
“If we all die, she can inherit your fortune directly and then live happily with that pretty boy… You know, the actor
Charlie!”
Theodore looked up and glared over at Wyatt with an icy gaze. He then said irritably, “Who said it’s Rebecca that
I’m going to see?”
Wyatt was utterly baffled and fell silent.
“I’m going to see my kids,” Theodore added.
His expression turned dark as he continued coldly, “Rebecca took my children to this godforsaken place. I’m going to gather evidence to accuse her of neglecting the babies.”
Wyatt was left speechless by what he said.
Rebecca had no idea that Theodore was about to arrive at Ember Ridge or that he was to gather evidence that she was neglecting the babies.
Back on the mountain, Rebecca quickly climbed down from the tree. Charlie carefully checked her over several

times, and after confirming she was unharmed and not in pain, he finally felt relieved.
Afterward, they went to the big package together. Charlie started unpacking it right away, revealing the contents inside.
Jayden and Daphne stayed as well. When they saw the contents of the package, the little girl exclaimed in a childish voice, “It’s a big basin!”
After the big basin was taken out, a spoon inside was revealed. Daphne saw the spoon and excitedly said, “And there’s a big spoon too!”
“What is this for?” Jayden asked curiously.
Charlie speculated. “Maybe for feeding the chickens?”
“Weren’t we supposed to catch chickens? Why did the show crew give us a basin and a spoon? Do we need to feed the chickens before we catch them?” Jayden wondered aloud seriously.
Rebecca’s eyes lit up, and she said happily, “I got it!”
‘What?‘ everyone wondered and looked up at Rebecca curiously.

She picked up the basin and spoon, smiling. “Even though the chickens in the mountains are free–range, they are still raised by the villagers, right?
Since they are domestic chickens, they need to be fed. When the owner feeds them, the chickens will come back, won’t they?”
With that, Rebecca then picked up the two items and began to bang the spoon against the basin.
As the stainless steel spoon banged against the basin, it produced a loud clang–clang–clang sound. In the next instant, the previously quiet forest was suddenly filled with chickens running from all directions.
Everyone then quickly realized what was happening. Charlie smiled happily, feeling proud of how clever his sister
was.
Jayden slapped his thigh in envy and almost cried. He thought, ‘How did Rebecca and Charlie find such amazing tools? With this basin and spoon, they’re definitely going to win. Trying to catch the chickens one by one would take forever, but with these feeding tools, the chickens will come running to them.”
Daphne was still unaware that they were about to lose. As she saw the chickens running all over the hills, her eyes gleamed with excitement. “There are so many chickens, Daddy!”
“Yes, so many chickens. Let’s go find our own tools too, Daphne!” Jayden replied happily. He bent down, picked
up, and headed in another direction in the forest to continue their search for their own chance.
