From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Chapter 447: Rainstorm

The production team had actually placed tracking devices on each guest’s clothing; the flare guns were just a backup.

Because this shoot was in a remote location, the director, fearing another accident, made a last-minute decision to cancel the livestream.

When the show’s official account made the announcement, it immediately sent netizens into a frenzy.

But no matter how much they howled on Weibo, the moment the guests got out of their vehicles, all the livestream channels went dark.

Netizens: "!!!"

’That was a ruthless move!’

Meanwhile, the guests had already followed the beekeeping team into the mountain forest.

It had rained a few days prior, so the path was slick and the ground was soft. Even though no one was carrying anything heavy besides their own luggage, everyone was clamoring for a rest after three hours of walking.

Gazing at her ruined high heels, Nina Sinclair’s eyes reddened, and she plopped down on a rock.

"I can’t go on. Why don’t we all just rest for a while?"

The other guests were naturally tired as well; only Chloe Sinclair and a few of the beekeepers seemed completely unaffected.

Chloe Sinclair looked at the others, who were so tired they looked like they could melt into the ground. She didn’t speak up directly, but instead turned to a beekeeper. "Can we rest?"

The beekeeper nodded and said something in a thick local dialect.

No one could understand him, but they could guess from his expression that he had agreed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that they finally had some free time, the guests took the opportunity to learn about the daily lives of the migratory beekeepers.

They couldn’t help but express their admiration after learning the beekeepers were constantly on the move, all year round.

The break passed quickly. Seeing that everyone’s energy had returned, Chloe Sinclair suggested they get moving again.

Nina Sinclair frowned. "Chloe, let’s just rest a little longer. I twisted my ankle earlier, and it doesn’t feel right."

Hearing this, Chloe Sinclair glanced at Nina Sinclair’s ankle before looking away.

"If we don’t get going, it’s going to rain."

Just then, withered yellow leaves spiraled down from nearly bare branches. Above, the sky was a sheet of grey-blue, with dark clouds scudding by rapidly.

RUMBLE—

Not long after Chloe Sinclair spoke, a low rumble echoed from the sky.

A bright flash of lightning split the sky.

"Ah!"

The two senior actresses, Jessica Ford and Yara Garrison, were so startled they leaped to their feet.

Gabriel Sinclair took two long strides to stand behind his sister.

Nina Sinclair gritted her teeth. ’I can’t believe this damned weather is working against me.’

As she thought this, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

This time, she didn’t dare dwell on it. She shot up from the rock, swallowed hard, and said, "Let’s, let’s go."

Chloe Sinclair remained still, staring at Nina Sinclair’s ankle. "Doesn’t hurt anymore?" she asked lazily.

A flicker of confusion crossed Nina Sinclair’s face. She clearly hadn’t processed what Chloe meant.

’But Chloe’s gaze... it seems to be on my ankle...’

Blinking, Nina Sinclair finally understood the implication behind Chloe’s question. For a moment, she stammered, unsure of what to say.

Chloe Sinclair let out a soft laugh, then turned and walked away.

Although the other guests disliked Nina Sinclair, they couldn’t be as blatant about it as Chloe Sinclair.

And so, without giving Nina Sinclair so much as a glance, they all fell in line behind the rest of the group.

The second after the group found a cave, the heavens opened up and rain began to pour.
