Chapter 13 The First Challenge Finished The moment Huxley finished speaking , Gianna screamed , " Three miles ? While carrying all this luggage ? My shoes can't handle that ! " She pointed down at her high heels , which were at least four inches high . Damn it ! What kind of terrible show was this ? Were they trying to make us suffer on purpose ? Gianna felt a twinge of regret . She thought the reality show would be like others - scripted , fake scenes , just for show . All she needed to do was look pretty . But now , it seemed the director really meant it . Kristina and Patricia were also wearing sandals and leather shoes , not fit for hiking . Only Bella had sneakers , while Amelia wore a pair of canvas shoes . " The task starts now ! " Huxley blew the whistle , ignoring their complaints . Without saying anything , Amelia grabbed her suitcase and began walking . Bella followed right behind . The other three stayed behind , grumbling , before slowly dragging themselves forward . The mountain path was rough and hard to walk on , and the sun kept getting hotter . Sweat beaded on Amelia's forehead , but she kept moving without stopping . She had survived things way harder than this . A simple walk like this ? Nothing at all . During those missing years , her life had been like a nightmare . Not long after , Gianna's whiny voice came from behind , " Amelia , wait for me ! My feet hurt so much . " Amelia didn't turn around . She knew the cameras were pointed at her , and any reaction would be made into drama . " Amelia , you're so heartless ! Didn't you hear your sister calling you ? " Kristina suddenly shouted . Amelia finally stopped walking and turned to face them . Gianna was limping forward , tears running down her cheeks , looking so weak and pitiful . Amelia said calmly , " She brought this on herself . Who shows up to an outdoor reality show wearing high heels ? Anyone with common sense wouldn't do that . " Her words landed like a bombshell . And the livestream chat went wild instantly . [ Wow , Amelia really said it ! She's bold ! ] [ Honestly , she's right ! ] [ But what's wrong with just wanting to look good on camera ? ] Finally , someone spoke the truth , Walking a hiking trail in heels ? That's her own fault . ] [ This program is nuts . These sisters are so fake ! ] Amelia's face turned pale , her eyes filling with tears . " Gianna , how could you be so mean ? " " Did I say anything wrong ? Even a kid knows not to wear heels for outdoor stuff , " Amelia shot back . D p p . Chapter 13 The First Challenge Bella stood nearby , a small smile tugging at her lips . This Amelia was far more interesting than she had imagined . Finished The crew looked at each other , surprised . None of them had expected the quiet - looking Amelia to speak out like that suddenly . At the same time , more and more people were joining the livestream , and the comments were flying by so fast that it was hard to read them . Amelia didn't say anything else . She simply turned around and kept walking . Bella hurried to her side and whispered , " Nice one . " " I only said the truth , " Amelia answered in a cool , steady voice . " What , do they think this is some kind of soap opera ? " When the two of them reached the town entrance first , Huxley announced they could pick their beds first. Gianna and the other two finally showed up half an hour later . Their makeup was a mess , and they looked completely exhausted . Gianna was furious . This felt like pure torture . She even worried she might not survive the whole show . What scared her the most was that Amelia didn't seem to care about how she looked on camera . All the little plans Gianna had in her head were wasted . She had hoped to make Amelia look bad in comparison , to make the audience criticize Amelia , but it didn't seem to be working . The livestream chat was exploding . [ This is the kind of reality show I want ! ] [ Amelia is so real , I love her . ] [ Poor Gianna , she looks miserable . ] [ Looks like things are about to get exciting . ] In the control room , Huxley wiped sweat off his forehead . The show was going even better than he imagined . But then he remembered what Marcelo had told him to do . Still , at this point , it didn't look like he could control what was happening . The main reason was that Amelia could handle hardship . She was honest , not pretending . There was no weak spot to exploit . Huxley was even starting to admire her . After all , girls like this were rare these days , especially in the entertainment industry . Almost impossible to find . All he could do was watch and see what happened . After the five guests picked their beds and put their stuff down , they got a short break before the next mission . The first mission : go to the vegetable garden at the town entrance and pick ingredients for today's meal . One hour limit . As soon as the mission was announced , Gianna grabbed Amelia's arm and said nicely , " Amelia , let's work together ! We can help each other . " She wanted Amelia to do the hard work so she wouldn't get too tired . Amelia pulled her arm away and gave a small smile . " No thanks . I like to work alone ." The livestream chat went wild again .
