Chapter 24: A Thrilling Scene
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Kimberly and the other two arrived at their destination.
It was a relatively open field. Although it was not very flat, it was clear that it was not at all in harmony with the surrounding trees. There were no weeds or broken branches, as if it was specially prepared for camping.
“Why aren’t Andrew and Jennifer here yet?” Kimberly opened her backpack and looked down curiously. However, she did not see these two people on the bluestone steps. After a pause, she said, “They seem to be a little slow.”
James walked to her side and looked down as well. He thought for a moment and replied, “Maybe something happened. Otherwise, they would have reached the mountainside by now.”
“I’m going to pick up some branches. This area has been cleaned up.” James felt a little flustered. He instructed, “Stay here and don’t go too far.”
Kimberly replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, there are people from the photography team around.”
James walked forward after patrolling for another round. His departure had finally created a glimmer of opportunity for Keith.
He took the opportunity to get the tent and walked over to Kimberly. He whispered to her in a low voice and took out his phone to show her a few pictures amidst her seemingly disbelieving look.
“How do you get such things?” Kimberly realized that these were pictures from special angles. It looked like someone was secretly taking pictures with a pinhole camera.
“You have to believe me. After all, the only person I can trust here is you.” Keith’s hair was a little messy. He couldn’t care less about his image and begged bitterly, “Can we go over there and talk about it in detail?”
“George is really a pervert. He wants to control me. I don’t know if there are any of his spies in the photography team. I don’t want to take this risk.”
Kimberly’s first reaction was that he was pretending again. She did not expect that such a bad actor in the movie would have superb acting skills in reality. If she had not been deceived for her entire life, she would have believed his nonsense long ago.
However, as she was thinking about getting some information out of him, her refusal lingered on her lips again. In the end, she thought about the scene after the company was acquired in her previous life. That was not something a liar like Keith could do.
“Let’s talk here.”
“I don’t want to be caught by the camera. Let’s stay a little further away.” Keith pointed to the empty space at the edge and said, “There are no cameras there. Let’s go there and talk in detail. I’m really scared.”
That happened to be the furthest distance Kimberly could accept. She would be exposed to others, but she would not reveal too much of the conversation.
She nodded and the two of them walked over.
“Isn’t George an assistant? How dare he treat you in this manner?” Kimberly guided him in her questions without batting an eyelid. “He has a big backer behind him?”
“Yeah…They threatened me with my contract…” Keith replied while anxiously thinking of the next step, he inadvertently revealed some information, “Especially that damn Harrison from the senior level… Ah! How could there be snakes!”
He took a few steps back in panic, but he realized that the snakes, who had moved more because of him, had all raised their heads and looked at him coldly.
Kimberly was shocked by this scream. She turned her head and found that there were actually five or six snakes densely surrounding her back. Beads of sweat fell from her temples, but she did not dare to move. If she moved, the snakes would be the first to charge at her. She was afraid that she would definitely die in this environment where medical help was lacking.
Keith looked at the snakes that were slowly gliding toward him. In a panic, he ran to the side desperately. At this time, he suddenly realized that this was not only a trap for Kimberly, but also a trap to get rid of him.
However, he could not think of anything else at this time. He only wanted to run faster and survive. He had not lived a life of superiority yet, so he could not die here so easily.
It was also thanks to Keith’s big movement that most of the snakes were attracted away. Kimberly was left with only two snakes looking at her. Every time the bright red snake’s tongue shot out, it made her nervous, she was afraid that she would become the victim of the poisonous snakes in the next second.
She did not even dare to breathe heavily. The screams behind her reminded her of Keith’s miserable state.
She knew that there was not much time left. If Keith was poisoned to death, the remaining snakes would probably glide toward her.
There was not even a branch…Kimberly’s lips were pale, and her fingers could not help but tremble due to fear and nervousness.
She had not investigated the truth, so she could not die here.
At least…at least she had to save her parents’ lives and hard work.
