Rogue

Perplexed, Samson inquired, “Are you the one who applied the herbs on me? You’ve never been exposed to medical knowledge before. How can you recognize the herbs and locate them in the wild to assist me in treating my wounde”

With a sense of grievance, Meghan’s eyes turned red as she said, “Do you think I’m lying? Who else do you think is likely to save you but met Evangeline harbors strong hatred toward us and desires our demise. She is the last person who will save you Jolene, Kendrick, and Travis hold grievances against us, too. Moreover, they lack medical skills, let alone the ability to save you. Apart from me, no one else here cares about you or possesses the capability to rescue you!”

Observing her distress, Samson quickly softened his tone and apologetically said, “Meghan, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you. It’s just that you’ve never learned medical skills before, and suddenly, you were adept at recognizing wild herbs and brave enough to help me locate them in the middle of the night. I was simply surprised. Meghan please don’t be angry. I was mistaken. I apologize to you”

Samson hugged Meghan and patted her on the back like coaxing a child.

Choked with sobs, Meghan explained, 1 did not know medicine before. However, when I realized we needed to embark on a wild adventure for this variety show, I became concerned about potential dangers in the wilderness. So, I serretly acquired some basic knowledge of wilderness survival 1 came across a tutorial on treating wounds in the wild, where I learned about herbs used for trauma treatment in such situations. Fortunately, 1 learned this knowledge. Otherwise, you might not have survived here.”

Deeply touched, Samson expressed. “You’re truly incredible, Meghan You saved my life, I will find a way to repay you in the future.”

Meghan burst into laughter and replied. “No need to be so formal with me. We’re family, and I should be there to save you. Just remember my kindness, and don’t let Evangeline’s discord come between us. That’s all I askTM

Samson affirmed, “You will always be my baby sister. Evangeline can never replace you. I won’t heed her words anymore. Moreover, the words of a heartless and cold woman who stood by and did nothing when her brother was dying carry no credibility. I won’t be swayed by her discord and misunderstand you.”

His eyes showed disgust and anger toward Evangeline

He realized Evangeline was angry with him because of his greater affection for Meghan. Initially, he believed that she merely had a bad temper and tried to gain attention.

However, her lack of concern during his time of trouble was unexpected.

At this point, he had completely given up on her.

His sentiments had shifted from mere dislike to anger and disgust toward his sister

He vowed that if Evangeline dared to bully Meghan in the future, he would not hesitate to take action against her.

Furthermore, he decided that upon returning to the city, he would inform his parents and two brothers about Evangeline’s malicious actions and advocate for blacklisting this cold–blooded and vicious woman.

He believed a person without a conscience should face consequences and endure suffering to atone for her sims.

“The heavens must have known the kind of person Evangeline is. That’s why he exchanged Meghan and her lives, making Evangeline suffer. Cold- blooded and vicious people don’t deserve a good life! he mused.

“Okay, I’ll remember what you said. You must keep your word, Meghan replied and smiled playfully.

Samson rubbed her nose affectionately and said, “I will always keep my promise.”

Sticking her tongue out playfully. Meghan said in a sweet voice, “Sam, the production team hasn’t sens anyone here today. It looks like we’re on our own. We haven’t had anything to eat for three days. If we don’t find something to eat today, we might starve to death. Now that you’ve recovered, go into the forest with Kendrick and the others to find some food. They’re considering going the other way to avoid those monkeys.”

Samson nodded and replied, “All right. Ill go back to find my luggage and change my clothes first”

Meghan promptly assisted him up and left, supporting him as they moved together.

The audience in the live room was Irate.

A comment read: [Damn it! Meghan is such a bitch. Evangeline was the one who treated Samson’s wounds. How can Meghan take the credit! She really is a pretentious and despicable person, as disgusting as her mother]

Another comment stated: [Samson is also stupid. How can he believe everything Meghan said? Doesn’t he know how to verify it? Has he forgotten how Meghan treated him before? No wonder he would be played by Meghan, the vicious bitch, since he is such a dumbassi

Chapter 17

Someone wrote: [I sincerely suspect that all the members of the Gallagher family, except for Evangeline, are idiots. Otherwise, how can a low–level pretentious woman like Meghan manipulate them at will?)

Another comment added: [I also share the same doubt about the Gallagher family. Even though Meghan is pretentious and scheming any person with a brain or normal human thought wouldn’t be easily manipulated by her and disregard their flesh and blood.

A comment remarked: [Evangeline is different from the Gallagher family. She has a normal IQ and moral values. Is it possible that she isn’t the Gallagher family’s child?]

A comment stated) [Regardless of her relationship with the Gallagher family, Evangeline has to stay away from them in the future to prevent becoming as dumb as them.

Another comment expressed I’m so noad when I watch this. Evangeline shouldn’t have saved Samson but watched him die. What an ingrate!]

One pleaded: [Please don’t mind others business in the future, Evangeline. If you continue to be so kind–hearted. I will stop liking you!]

Back at the Gallagher residence, Edward was watching the livestream while having breakfast.

He also witnessed the scene where Meghan lied to Samson and took credit for Evangeline’s actions.

His expression changed drastically.

He wondered, ‘How much of Meghan’s true colors are being hidden from me?

The once innocent and kind–hearted younger sister he had now seemed like a

In this variety show, the Meghan he remembered was nowhere to be found

mere imagination

Instead, he encountered a selfish, malicious, hypocritical, and pretentious stranger.

‘She isn’t my sister. My sister won’t do those things… he thought

“Eddie..Jasper, who was sitting opposite Edward, was besitant to speak.

While looking at Jasper, Edward noticed the latter was holding his phone, watching the livestream.

With a complicated emotion, Jasper asked, “Has Meghan been wearing a pretense with us all along? The Meghan in the live room seems so strange to me. I don’t know her anymore.”

Edward pursed his lips:

After a prolonged silence, he said indifferently. “Father mentioned that Meghan was stimulated, causing a significant shift in her character.”

Hesitatingly, Jasper nodded and spoke. That would explain it. If it was all a prriente, it’s impossible that we didn’t notice something wrong after all these years. I believe she is a kind person. Her current state is solely due to stimulation. This is not the real her. By the way, didn’t Dad ask you to find a public relations team to protect Meghan’s reputation‘ But the comments in the live room were all condemning Meghan

Edward shook his head and explained. “I couldn’t reverse the situation. The show has garnered significant attention, with a substantial number being Meghan’s haters. Furthermore, our opponents are actively misguiding the audience. Along with those who harbor disdain for the wealthy, even the ghostwriters I hired couldn’t alter the course of public opinion. Moreover, even though we comprehend that Meghan’s character changed and did something unpleasant due to external stimuli, the viewers are unaware of this, and they won’t believe in Meghan’s innate kindness and innocence

Jasper said, “If we can change how the public views her, Meghan will not be able to accept it when she returns and finds out the netizens were condemning her.”

Edward mentioned, Tve reached out to a psychologist. Upon Meghan’s return, I will organize a meeting to support her.”

After thoughtful consideration, he added, “Upon her return, let’s keep this from her. Once the public attention subsides, I will work on mitigating the negative comments on the interes, It’s better not to len Meghan know about it

Jasper frowned and expressed, “How can we keep this from her? The show has gained immense popularity both domestically and internationally. Even those unfamiliar with Clusian are tuning in. The show is even subtitled on foreign websites. It’s the most talked–about show on the internet. No matter where Meghan is, it’s inevitable for her to discover the truth.

Edward sighed helplessly and said, “In that case, all we can do is comfort and advise Meghan to ensure she can get through this.”

Back in the forest, Evangeline observed that it was especially challenging to locate prey that day.

On her journey, she came across animal pelts and parts but wouldn’t find a live one.

After traversing the forest for a while, Evangeline realized what was happening.

Monkeys and other animals in the forest had caught the clumsy poultry that the production team had placed there.

Wild monkeys ate meal, too,

For them, the sudden appearance of a significant amount of impaired prey was like a gift from the heavens. It was impossible for them not to take advantage of it.

They had already began catching the poultry for the past two days but did it in different locations, so Evangeline hadn’t noticed it.

Now that they had caught all the poultry in other areas, they ventured to her territory

There were w

• were wild hares in the forest. So, Evangeline wasn’t bothered by it, though they were harder to catch due to their speed.

However, it wasn’t challenging for Evangeline.

Evangeline wasn’t in a hurry to hunt for wild hares. Sie strolled through the woods and once again reached the mountain behind the forest, where she picked some wild fruits and enjoyed them.

Although the wild fruits were not very tasty, they could fill her stomach.

At this time, the staff lurking in the forest contacted Dallas urgently.

The staff expressed their concern, “Mr. Fowler, something unfortunate occurred. All the poultry we placed were taken and consumed by those monkeys. We purposely set up a few chickens and hares, making it seem that they were accidentally caught in withered grass so Samson and the others could find them and take them away. After all, if they don’t eat now, they might genuinely starve to death. However, the monkeys took the staged chickens and hares. What should we do now? Should I leave some bread in the woods for them to find?”

Dallas‘ mouth twitched, and he rebuked speechlessly, “Don’t be ridiculous. If they find bread, they’ll suspect that there are people in the woods. How are we supposed to proceed with the shooting then?

The man inquired. “Are we simply going to stand by and let them starve?”

Dallas pondered for a moment and said, “Hunt for some wild hares and stage them as if they were injured by wild animals, caught in withered grass, and unable to escape for those people”

The man asked, “Will they suspect anythingr

Dallas replied, “No. They aren’t that sman.”

The man was speechless

When Evangeline wandered on the mountain, she noticed the monkeys were discreetly following and monitoring her

She ignored them

After satisfying her hunger, i

er hunger, she descended to the foot of the mountain and rested beneath a tree.

The monkeys

a continued to follow her but refrained from acting hastily

After lying with her eyes closed for some time, the monkeys crept toward her,

Just as the monkeys discreetly approached Evangeline’s side, she suddenly opened her eyes, rolled over, and crawled on the ground with her hands and feet to chase after the monkey king.

The monkey king screamed in fear and scampered forward on all its limbs.

Meanwhile, the rest of the monkeys scattered in all directions with dread.

After running for a while, the monkey king turned and saw the terrifying, crawling human behind it.

lis movements slowed it down, allowing Evangeline to catch up with it

Evangeline slapped the monkey king hard in the face.

“What’s wrong? Are you still not convinced? How dare you follow and ambush me? Don’t think I won’t dare to kill you just because you’re an

endangered animal. If you attempt to attack me again, I won’t hesitate to show no mercy. I will be excused as self–defense if I kill you. I’m generous by letting you live, so stop being so ungratefull” she shouted.

Slap

Evangeline slapped it several times.

The monkey king howled in pain, tears filling its eyes as it trembled.

“Fuck off!” Evangeline said coldly.

She threw it upward and kicked it toward a tree not far away.

She checked the time and noticed the sun was setting in the west. She felt she should return to the riverside, as it would be easy to get woods at night.

Evangeline walked back leisurely.

Halfway through her journey, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her.

opped

Evangeline stopped to check and noticed the monkeys following her again.

Evangeline’s face darkened, and there was a murderous intent in her cold eyes.

lost in the

“What stubborn monkeys! Do you have a death wisht Anyway, you asked for it! I won’t be merciful this time. I will kill you, so you have no chance to cause me trouble again the swore.

Everyone had a limar

Evangeline had show them mercy and her respect toward the country’s law three times.

Since they continued to seek trouble, her action of killing them would be reasonable, as she felt threatened by them.

Evangeline crossed her hands and stretched her fingers.

Such a scene led the monkeys to tremble in fear.

Many monkeys hid behind the tree in horror.

The leading monkey king was also scared of her, but it mustered up the courage to move forward.

Evangeline narrowed her eyes slightly.

Just as Evangeline was about to take action, the monkey king threw something at her.

Evangeline took a closer look and found it was a wild hare.

The monkey king stood in front of her like a well–behaved creature, looking at her with a pitiful and humble expression.

Evangeline froze.

‘Is the monkey king sending me prey?” she wondered. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
