Chapter 281

“If you guys planned on giving us only pasta from the beginning, you could’ve just put the stick of butter
into the bowl, and we’ll make buttered noodles. Why go so far as to give us pots and pans, and even
this barbecue grill?!” said the male celebrity who called himself a pit master while waving dismissively.

Then, everyone quickly realized there wasn’t even basic oil and seasoning, let alone a stick of butter.

“This is a special arrangement from the crew. Everyone will have to figure a way out. No outside food
allowed, though,” one of the cameramen announced as he lifted his camera a little over his head,
worried the celebrity guests would hammer him.

The celebrity guests, on the other hand, were rendered speechless. Not only do we have to figure it out
ourselves, but we can’t get outside food either. What do they want us to do, eat grass?!

Not even the best cooks could make dinner without ingredients. With that, everyone just looked at each
other with no game plan in mind, and the enthusiasm from earlier gradually diminished.

At that, everyone looked toward Leo in unison.

Because of how he showcased perfect leadership on the show last time, everyone placed their hopes
on him now. However, they quickly realized his attention wasn’t on them but elsewhere.

Curious, they followed his line of sight to notice Amelie and Fiona setting the chairs and table, and the
originally chaotic scene became organized.

Better yet, the two even decorated the table with some wildflowers they had picked.

“Well, aren’t you a patient one? To think you still have the mood to arrange flowers under these
circumstances.” Fiona gazed at Amelie admirably.

She was genuinely impressed.



Amelie smirked in response, and as she continued arranging the flowers, she pulled a smile. “What
else am I supposed to do when I’m stuck in this situation? Cry?”

“Why do I think you have already devised a plan, though?” The actress looked at her with great
interest.

To that, Amelie nodded and pointed toward the distance. “See that? There’s a river at the foot of the
mountain. I saw quite a few fish there, and they’re not species that a river in the wild can produce. The
crew dropped them there in advance.”

“Oh?”

Though she had also wandered around and even seen the river earlier, she certainly didn’t look as
closely as Amelie did.

Foxy sure is unlike any other.

“Even so, what can we do? They haven’t provided us with any fishing equipment, not even a hook.
How are we going to catch them?” Fiona furrowed her brows with worry.

“Simple!” Amelie snapped her fingers. “Call Fabian and the others over.”

Though Fiona was somewhat upset that she had to call Fabian over, she still did so, and behind Fabian
followed Lilith and another male celebrity.

“You must be joking! Catching fish? In this kind of river? How are you going to do it? By hand?” Lilith
burst out laughing after hearing Amelie’s game plan.

She even gestured with her hands at that.



Amelie was aware that the young woman had a problem with her, so she said nothing but only pointed
behind Lilith with her chin.

Lilith turned around in response, and her face blanched as soon as she saw the cameraman following
her.

In the end, she stomped her feet in anger and said nothing more as she moved aside. However, her
gaze remained judgmental. Evidently, she didn’t believe Amelie could come up with any good plans.

“Lilith’s right, though. All we have is our hands. How are we going to catch any fish?” Gabriel, the other
celebrity, asked as he leaned toward Lilith a little, comforting her with his gaze.

At that, Amelie removed her jacket and said, “You guys should also remove whatever outerwear you
can.”

“Are you asking us to take off our clothes? What is the meaning of this?!” Lilith questioned again,
displeased.

The others were shocked as well.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know how to fish, and we’re just your experiment!” Hostility enveloped Lilith’s
voice this time, for she never responded well to being ordered around, and everyone’s gazes turned
profound as well following her questioning.

Just then, a clean, gentle voice traveled over. “If Foxy says she can, then she can.”

Then, a white jacket was handed over. “Here’s mine.”

Everyone turned around and found Blake handing a white overshirt to Amelie with a smile.



With the white overshirt removed, the only shirt left on him was a wife beater, which made him look
much more like the boy next door as the white shirt enveloped his thin body.

Blake’s eyes were curved into crescents as frankness and sincerity enveloped his face, believing she
could do it from the bottom of his heart.

“That’s right. If Foxy says she can, then she can.” Fiona came to herself as well, and she removed the
jacket she had wrapped around her waist and gave it to Amelie generously.

Seeing that she supported Amelie, Fabian followed Fiona in removing his jacket.

The others naturally said nothing when they saw the three of them supporting Amelie’s decision, and
apart from Lilith, everyone handed their jackets over one after another.

Following that, Amelie quickly and skillfully tied everyone’s clothes together to form a massive piece of
cloth.

“Fabian, Blake, Gabriel, I’ll need your help later,” said Amelie, to which the guys agreed naturally.

With that, the group headed to the river.

Lilith, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot with her arms crossed in front of her chest, but seeing
that the crew also followed everyone to the river, she finally went as well at the thought that she could
see Amelie embarrass herself.

She stood afar and found Amelie ordering the three men to lay the jackets at the bottom of the river,
then had everyone pulling on a corner while she stirred the aquatic plants around with a stick.

“What is this? An ancient ritual of catching fish?!” The members of Team A followed over as well, and
Jodie crossed her arms in front of her chest, quirking her lips in disdain as she watched Team B do



their thing.

This woman only ever does anything and everything weird. I still haven’t forgotten how you tied my
head to a rope!

However, it never occurred to Jodie that Amelie had only done so because Amelie was worried that she
would fall into the water. If anything, she believed Amelie was only messing about.

“Who knows?” Lilith moved a little aside, hoping that even more people would watch Amelie humiliate
herself.

Meanwhile, a row of people stood at the bank, and a deep voice suddenly rang out behind them. “She’s
chasing the fish out.”

Everyone reflexively looked behind and found that Leo had arrived behind them some time ago. As he
pressed his lips lightly together, he fixed his profound gaze on Amelie, looking like he was only gazing
at her. At the same time, it seemed like he was looking deep into her heart.

He didn’t miss a single movement she made.

Amelie was wearing shoes, but she didn’t seem bothered at all that the water would soak her shoes
wet.

Right then, she was still hitting the aquatic plants and crevices with the stick in her hands, so focused
that she wasn’t affected by the people ashore. Her eyes were agile and twinkling brightly like the stars
in the universe.

He had seen her domineering, jaunty, and alluring side, but never did he think that she would have this
side to her as well.



He believed he wouldn’t be surprised at all if she had a thousand sides to her, for there seemed to be
no end to her potential.

Just then, a long-lost memory came to him. “I’ll take you somewhere we can catch fish when your eyes
have healed, okay? I’m really good at catching fish, I’m telling you. When the time comes, I’ll show you
my best trick!”

Did Big Eyes catch fish like this too?

No one said anything else after Leo pointed out what Amelie was doing. Still, they were baffled.

What fish can there be in these waters other than inedible ones? What are we going to do with them?
Decorate our plates with it?!

Splash!

Just then, erratic movements came from the waters, and everyone saw a massive silhouette dashing
across the river.
