Chapter 308
Ethan Sullivan stepped forward, intending to approach Evelyn Laurent.
Julian Langley reacted instantly, pulling Evelyn protectively behind him.
"I'll go," he said coldly, his tall frame completely blocking Ethan's line of sight.
Ethan remained unfazed, casually drawing a lot.
The grouping results were soon announced.
Julian Langley, Evelyn Laurent, Ethan Sullivan, and Xander Quincy formed the first team.
Bianca Fairchild and her brother were paired with the Croix brothers in the second team.
The Clemenson siblings and the Rothschild siblings made up the third team.
Julian's expression darkened instantly.
His gaze locked onto Ethan, radiating danger.
Timothy Gold discreetly tugged at his sleeve. "Mr. Langley, mind your expression."
The usually composed Oscar-winning actor now resembled a bristling lion.
Ethan remained unperturbed, though a flicker of warmth crossed his eyes when he glanced at Evelyn.
His purpose here had always been singular.
"Brother, looks like we're opponents now," Beatrice Quincy teased Xander with a playful wink. "Go easy on me."
Xander nodded indulgently. "Of course."
But his gaze darkened when it briefly passed over Bianca.
"Tonight is the last dinner and lodging provided by the production crew," Timothy announced through the megaphone. "Starting tomorrow, you'll be surviving on this island independently."
The staff served an elaborate feast.
Ethan had arranged the menu in advance, with most dishes tailored to Evelyn's preferences.
Evelyn scanned the spread before taking her seat, deep in thought.
Julian immediately claimed the seat to her left.
Ethan calmly settled into the chair on her right.
The other guests gradually joined the table.
With the survival challenge looming tomorrow, everyone ate with unusual focus.
The Croix brothers and the Clemenson siblings devoured their meals heartily.
Such refined cuisine would be hard to come by in the days ahead.
The cast members regarded Ethan with newfound reverence.
This sponsor was someone to keep on their good side.
