Melinda nodded in agreement, but the comments began to flood the screen again. [What does Sharon mean? Are you saying that Melissa will be kicked out of the entertainment industry sooner or later?]

[What right does she have to say that? She’s a married old woman. I think she’ll be kicked out of the entertainment industry sooner or later!]

[Sharon is young, but she got married early. However, her married status is indeed her stumbling block. If she chooses to get a divorce, this path will probably be much easier.]

[I just can’t stand people like Sharon. She’s not very powerful myself. Why does she have to say degrade others till the point that she sounds useless?]

[But Sharon’s right, right? Melissa really doesn’t know anything and isn’t willing to help. Why would the entertainment industry raise such trash?]

There were comments like this to speak up for Sharon, but they were quickly suppressed by other comments.

An hour later, the sky was completely dark. Shane and Dan returned with a bundle of firewood each. Melinda and Sharon also returned with a full load. There were about a dozen fish in the fish basket.

After everyone had a simple meal of grilled fish, they surrounded the firewood and talked about their dreams. Melissa’s clothes were still wet. Even after sitting around the firewood for a long time, her clothes were still not dry.

Just as everyone was getting excited, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, and bean-sized raindrops instantly fell.

No one cared about the pile of firewood and the unfinished fish and hid in their tents. Melissa didn’t want to sleep with Melinda and Sharon, so she planned to find Shane and Dan.

However, as soon as the two of them entered the tent, they zipped it up, not giving Melissa a chance to speak.

While the rain was not too heavy, Melissa stood at the entrance of the tent and asked, “Can the two of you let me in?”

Shane’s voice sounded. “Sister, you’re a girl. How can you come to our tent? You should go look for Melinda and Sharon.”

“I don’t want to stay with them. The two of them will only ostracize and isolate me.” Melissa curled her lips. “I think it’s more comfortable to stay with you guys.”

“Stop spouting nonsense. Hurry up and look for them,” Dan said. “The production team has stipulated that girls can’t stay with boys. Go back to your tent before the rain starts.

Just as he said that, the candles in the tent were extinguished. It was as if he had silently ordered Melissa to leave.

Melissa had no choice but to look for Melinda and Sharon. However, the candles in their tent had already been extinguished, so the two of them should be asleep.

However, seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Melissa didn’t want to be drenched outside, so she quickly said, “Melinda, Sharon, open the tent. I want to go in.”

Melinda said, “Didn’t you go look for Shane and Dan? Why are you back? We’re already asleep.”

“How can a girl like me sleep with the guys? I was just joking just now. I have something to say to them. Now that I’m done, of course I have to come back,” said Melissa. “Hurry up and let me in. The rain outside is getting heavier.”

“You didn’t help at all. You still want to sleep in the tent? Dream on!” Melinda was angry, but Sharon quickly got up and opened the tent for Melissa.

“Come in and rest.”

“Thanks,” Melissa said calmly before lying down to rest.

Melinda: “Sharon! Why did you let her in?!”

Sharon explained, “If she stays out in the rain for too long, she’ll fall sick and delay the recording process. I let her in for the sake of the production team, not for anything else.”

Melinda sighed. “Alright then.”

Sharon comforted her. “Alright, it’s getting late. Hurry up and sleep.”

“Okay.” When Melinda lay down, she specially changed places. She didn’t want to be too close to Melissa and wanted to sleep with Sharon.

“I’ll find my own hotel tomorrow. I won’t trouble you,” Melissa suddenly said. ‘I’m just borrowing your tent. With that expression on your face, those who don’t know might think that I owe you a lot of money.”

Melinda and Sharon didn’t reply, and Melissa didn’t ask for a rebuff. After resting uncomfortably for a night, she asked her manager to go out and contact the hotel.

Although Director Zette did not agree at first, he could not withstand the pressure from Melissa’s management company and could only agree in the end. However, they had to find a hotel that was very close to the event location. Otherwise, it would delay the filming progress.

The manager agreed. “No problem.”

However, she had gotten Melissa a five-star hotel that was very far away..
