Chapter 343
At the moment, personal grudges are not the most important thing.
The most crucial issue is how they are going to leave here.
Alice Green is not a woman who lacks clarity of mind; at this moment, she clearly understands what’s more important.
Scarlett Yates lowered her head and thought for a while, then slowly said, “Since we’ve decided to team up temporarily, we need to trust each other and take care of one another p>
“I don’t care if you’re some big star; here, we’re all ordinary people. When it’s time to collaborate, we all need to do what we’re supposed to do, and no one should slack off p>
Alice understood her words and coldly snorted, “Is that all p>
Scarlett thought for a moment, then began putting the food she’d taken out back one by one. She clapped her hands and smiled, “That’s all for now. I’m going to the beach to take a look. You can wait here, or you can come with me p>
Alice immediately took a step closer to her, without hesitation, “I’ll go check out the beach too p>
Even though it was broad daylight, the thought of being alone in the forest frightened Alice.
“Okay, then let’s go together p>
Scarlett Yates had never imagined she would be dumped on a deserted island.
Nor had she imagined being thrown onto a deserted island with Alice Green.
Being stuck in an unfamiliar place with someone you dislike, clearly loathing each other yet having to team up, is indeed a peculiar feeling.
Just like at this moment.
She knew Alice was watching her.
Looking at her with those cold eyes filled with resentment.
Scarlett ignored her, acting as if she hadn’t noticed.
But after watching for a while, Alice couldn’t hold back.
Ever since she saw Scarlett on the island, Scarlett has been displaying a composed demeanor; Alice was curious and perplexed, “Scarlett Yates, aren’t you scared p>
She couldn’t help but ask.
In such a situation, any woman would feel scared, right?
No matter how much you pretend to be calm, some genuine emotion would show.
But she observed Scarlett for so long, yet she couldn’t find a trace of fear on Scarlett’s face.
Her calmness and indifference didn’t seem feigned.
Yet Alice didn’t believe she was truly unafraid.
Perhaps Scarlett is truly scared inside, but she is just too good at pretending, so much so that no trace of pretense can be found.
“Scared?” Scarlett heard this word, chuckled, and in a light tone said, “Being inexplicably placed on an unknown island, how could one not be scared p>
“But you don’t look scared at all,” Alice said, staring at her calm profile.
“Fear doesn’t necessarily need to be shown, and besides, in this situation, what good would fear do p>
“Aren’t you afraid that we might be trapped and die on this island p>
Since walking out of the forest, Alice had been observing the terrain and surroundings.
Evidently, this place was somewhere she had never been before; she had never even seen it.
If those people had indeed brought them to a deserted island known by few, their hope of leaving here would be even slimmer.
Thinking that all of this happened because she meddled, Alice was filled with regret.
