Chapter 332
Rachel Clemenson picked up a bright red wild berry and waved it in front of the camera.
"I've already tasted these. They're safe to eat," she said, a faint smirk playing on her lips.
That fool Evelyn Laurent was asking for humiliation.
"Brave," Evelyn suddenly chuckled, giving a thumbs-up.
Leo Clemenson immediately jumped in.
"Evelyn, what's your problem? My sister warned you about the poisonous mushrooms, and now you're accusing us of picking toxic berries?"
Evelyn ignored him and turned away.
"Julian, let's go."
Julian Langley shot the Clemenson siblings a cold glare before following.
Their malicious intentions were obvious.
"Wait!" Rachel panicked. "Those mushrooms really are poisonous! Who'll take responsibility if something happens?"
Timothy Gold hurried over with a bespectacled man in tow.
"I'm a botanist," the man said, immediately examining the mushrooms in Julian's hands.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
The island had been cleared of toxic mushrooms before filming. How had any been missed?
After a thorough inspection, he exhaled in relief.
"These are Termitomyces. They're edible."
Rachel and Leo paled.
Impossible! Those mushrooms were supposed to be—
"Could you check the berries they picked too?" Evelyn interjected.
The botanist took the red fruit and his expression instantly darkened.
"These are Nandina berries. They're toxic and can cause severe abdominal pain!"
Crystal Rothschild clapped a hand over her mouth in horror.
"I... I ate several..."
Her terrified gaze locked onto the Clemenson siblings.
They'd said the berries were safe!
"Julian, let's go." Evelyn walked away without looking back.
Timothy stomped his foot in frustration.
"Call a doctor, now!"
Rachel's legs gave out as a sharp, stabbing pain tore through her abdomen.
