Chapter 48
Speaking of this, Dallas grew emotional and could not help but curse, “Damn it! Those people from other countries are all bastards! Except for a few countries, the other countries particularly hate and reject Clusians. They band together to target, suppress, and even deliberately frame us
He continued cursing. “Those beasts also mocked us for being useless. Yet, they are the ones who form groups and target us with their numbers shamelessly. They even have the nerve to laugh at our contestants!”
After Dallas finished letting off, he realized he was too agitated and spoke apologetically. “Sorry, my emotions got the better of me. My grandfather and father used to be in the army, so I get furious when I think about that veteran who got harmed and got a broken leg plus a blind eye.”
He added, “He signed up because his daughter was severely ill, and he needed to pay the high medical bills. He wanted to earn money for his daughter, but not only did he fail to get the prize money, he became disabled. Alas…
Evangeline listened quietly without much change in her expression.
Usually, people would be infuriated to hear this.
However, there was not a change in her emotions.
It was not that she had no sympathy.
It was because she was abandoned in the slums as a child that she experienced much of the fickleness and evil in human nature.
She was already numb to i

hanged dramatically.
Later, she left the slums, and her life changed
Yet, those dark days in the slums still left an indelible mark on her heart.
It was not quite psychological trauma.
She did not feel
el uncomfortable looking back at those memories, but she just could not forget them.
Dallas continued, “My friend asked me to contact you. He said that if you participate, he will pay you 20 million dollars in appearance fees, while I get 1 million dollars in agency fees. If you win in the end, there will be at least an additional prize of 20 million dollars.
He elaborated, “Although their offer is very tempting. I hope you consider it carefully. You may be stronger than ordinary people, but the contestants in Xtreme Survival are not stars. Some mercenaries and warriors have been specially trained. You can’t compete with them.”
they paid you to join the competition,
He added, “Besides, participants usually pay to sign up for the show to compete for the prize money. Since they they must have ulterior motives.
“Evangeline, are you listening!” Dallas could not help but ask when he noticed her silence.
“Yes, I’m listening.” Evangeline replied in a low voice.
With that, Dallas continued speaking.
As if telling her a secret, he lowered his voice and whispered, “Let me tell you about this rumor. I was surprised when I heard that they offered you to participate at such a high price, so I secretly went around to ask about it”
He explained, “It’s said that some perverted billionaires abroad put out a bounty for you after watching your livestream. They listed dozens of things they wanted to happen to you and asked the contestants to do it to you. I heard even the lowest bounty is at a few million dollars. I heard even the lowest bounty is at a few million dollars. I’ve never seen the contents of the bounty, but I’m sure it’s nothing good.”
Then, he said, “If you go, you might end up even worse than the previous three people
Evangeline said, “Thank you. I won’t participate in it.”
He was mainly here to persuade her.
Dallas smiled and said, “Okay. Then I’ll tell my friend that you refused. Remember to send me your account number so I can return the money I owe you.”
Evangeline responded curtly and hung up the call. Then, she texted Dallas her bank account details.

Arthur asked, “What were you talking about that took so long?”
Evangeline did not hide from him and explained briefly, “A friend of Mr. Fowler asked him to contact me to invite me to participate in the shooting of Xtreme Survival. They offered me 20 million dollars as an appearance fee, but he advised me against it
The others‘ expressions darkened upon hearing the name Xtreme Survival.
The incident of Xtreme Survival prejudicing against Clusia’s contestants caused quite a scene back then and even led to diplomatic warfare, but the matter was left unresolved.
That was because Xtreme Survival was a variety show sponsored by a group of top foreign billionaires.
They were influential and exploited the loopholes in the laws. In addition to their shamelessness, no one could do anything about it.
The only thing people could do domestically was ban the variety show.
Hugo showed a look of repulse and said, “You were right to refuse. That variety show is a little vile. It’s especially hostile toward women. Being harassed a few times is the least of those problems.”
Hugo hesitated to speak and finally shook his head. “In any case, you’ve already rejected him, so you don’t need to worry about him anymore.” Evangeline grinned. They won’t give up”
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
Evangeline said mockingly. “Those billionaires have put a bounty on me, and the lowest bounty is already at I million dollars. They will definitely do everything to make me participate. Even if those billionaires don’t force me, those contestants will try their best to force me to join to get the high bounty.”
and won’t
Arthur, with a face of gloom, patted her on the shoulder and uttered seriously, “From today onward, don’t leave my sight. Ill protect you ar let them approach you.”
Evangeline raised her eyebrows and said, “Actually, I was worried they wouldn’t come looking for me. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Arthur and the others were puzzled.
“Do you know who put the bounty on you? Do you have a grudge against them? Steven asked curiously.
The corners of Evangeline’s mouth curved into a smile.
The smile was ice–cold, sending chills into people’s cores.
The people in the car could not help but shudder after seeing the smile
Arthur said, “I hope you can calm down. Even if you have a grudge against them and want to take revenge on them, don’t be reckless and risk your life‘
Evangeline said, “I know what I’m doing”
Arthur wanted to say something more.
Evangeline glanced at him, which froze him in place, making him swallow his words back
The rest of the group
group wore worried looks.
However, seeing as Evangeline refused to say anything more, they could not bring themselves to pursue the matter further.
On the other side.
Jasper was taken to the hospital,
After receiving a call, the Gallagher family rushed to the hospital.
Jasper was still in the operating room when they reached the hospital.

As soon as they arrived, the doctor brought them an amputation procedural consent form and asked them to sign it.
Jasper’s left leg was severely injured. The flesh and veins on his leg had decayed, and the bones were crushed. It was impossible to reattach it, so they could only amputate him to save his life.
If they did not perform amputation on him, it would kill him.
George sullenly signed the amputation procedural consent form.
“Oh, my Jas Bethany wailed and fainted.
Samson hurriedly picked her up and went to the doctor.
Meghan wiped her tears and cried sorrowfully. “Dad, I saw it on the news online. Jas was injured in a car race. It was Evangeline who injured him! She deliberately ran into him“”
George’s eyes suddenly widened, shock and anger appearing on his face. “What? Evangeline deliberately hit him? Eddie, is what Meghan said true?” George asked Edward.
Edward nodded with a dark expression. He explained, “Yes, I also saw the news. Evangeline is Jade, the top racer in the racing world that Jas looked up to. Tonight, Jas and Jade participate in a race together. In the finals, Jade’s car crashed into Jas. I can’t tell from the video whether it was intentional. It looked like an accident.”
A trace of jealousy flashed in Meghan’s eyes.
Meghan cursed inwardly. That bitch Evangeline! I didn’t expect her to be jade. What does she have that makes her the goddess of the racing world? Her driving skills are average.
“The people in the racing world are a bunch of idiots to idolaze someone like Evangeline!
Meghan calmed down and retorted, “Don’t defend Evangeline, Eddie. She did it on purpose!”
She furned, “Didn’t you see the analysis by the netizens With Jade’s driving skills, she can’t make such a mistake. Even if it were a mistake, the accident wouldn’t have been so serious. It’s clear she did it on purpose! Evangeline holds a deep grudge against us. She wanted to kill Sam and me in the forest. Now, it’s possible she deliberately harmed Jas. Thankfully, Jas got lucky. Otherwise, she would’ve killed him!”
Edward stopped talking.
He also saw the discussion online
Everyone was saying Evangeline did it on purpose.
In fact, this was exactly his thoughts as well.
This certainly seemed like something Evangeline would do.
“That ingrate! I shouldn’t have let her be born back then! She doesn’t deserve to live! George slapped his thigh angrily as if he regretted the past.
He looked at Edward with rage in his eyes and said, “Eddie, you are the smartest. Think of a way to avenge your Jas He’s lost a leg and has become crippled for the rest of his life. How can he accept this?”
Meghan looked at Edward with tears in her eyes. She uttered, “That’s right, Eddie. We can’t let Jas be wronged. Evangeline has gone too far. We can’t let her off the hook!”
Just then, Samson camer
running back.
His face instantly darkened upon hearing Meghan’s words as he returned.
He said, “Calm down, Dad, Eddie. It was us who wronged Evangeline first. During the seven days in the forest, Evangeline never took the initiative to cause us trouble. It was us who provoked her, which made her fight back. Maybe it was Jas who provoked her first this time-”
Slap!
George slapped Samson furiously and scolded, “You traitor! Your brother has lost his leg. Why are you still defending Evangeline? Has she bewitched you? How dare you speak for her when she treated you like that!
Covering his fa
face, Samson said in a gloomy tone, “Evangeline saved my life. If it weren’t for her, I would have been dead by now,

He added. “Dad, Meghan almost killed me, but you didn’t say a word of criticism against her. Why are you so harsh on Evangeline?
George’s face turned red and pale from anger as he snarled, “You scoundrel! I told you that Meghan was triggered. It’s because you didn’t protect her well that caused her to be triggered, and her behavior changed drastically. That’s why she did those things! Not only do you not reflect on your mistakes, but you start to blame Meghan instead. Do you have any consciencet
