After the break, the production team started handing out the afternoon's activity tasks.
The five groups of guests, along with their children, walked to the open area.
Among them, the girl wearing a princess dress, small and thin, walking behind Seraphine, was particularly eye-catching.
It wasn't that she was especially beautiful.
In contrast, her skin was rough, dark, and thin, giving her the appearance of someone malnourished.
She was none other than Beryl Lothaire, the real daughter of the Lothaire family who had been missing for eight years and was only brought back last month.
In this variety show, Beryl and I were clearly set up as contrasting figures.
At just eight years old, she could cook, clean, and even take care of Seraphine with impressive diligence, earning the pity and admiration of viewers.
Meanwhile, I was portrayed as spoiled and rebellious, constantly disobeying Laurence and targeting Beryl at every turn.
Even though we were both children, as the show went on, the audience's patience with me wore thin. They began to dislike me, openly criticizing me online.
Laurence tried to stand up for me, but it only ended with him alienating his fans, many of whom left his fandom entirely.
At this moment, Beryl was rummaging through her small green satchel and pulled out palm-sized herbal sachets.
She began handing them out to the other participants, speaking sweetly:
"I grew up in the countryside where there are lots of mosquitoes and poisonous insects in the summer. I made these sachets myself. If you wear one, the bugs won't bite you!"
The other participants gratefully accepted the sachets and showered her with praise:
"Beryl, you're amazing! You can even make sachets?"
"Thank you, Beryl. I was worried about the bugs in the forest today, but you saved me just in time."
Beryl tilted her head and smiled shyly.
The camera captured the moment perfectly.
Watching the livestream, viewers' hearts melted, and comments flooded in:
"Beryl is only eight years old, yet she knows how to make sachets. She's so thoughtful it's heartbreaking."
"She could've lived like a princess if it weren't for a certain spoiled rich girl stealing her life."
"Cecelia, right?"
"..."
Laurence and I were standing on the far right.
When she reached us, Beryl put on a troubled expression:
"I'm really sorry, but... I didn't bring enough sachets, so I don't have any for you two. What should we do?"
She looked to Seraphine for help.
But her inner thoughts betrayed her smugness: "That's right, I'm not giving you any. Let the bugs eat you alive, hmph!"
Laurence and I exchanged glances immediately.
No wonder we're family.
It seems that even we shared the same gleeful expression when encountering a schemer.
