NovelEndChapter 529:
Within twenty minutes, Skyla reached her breaking point and openly challenged Giuliana.
“Giuliana, where exactly are you taking us? A challenging path is expected, but we're crawling through
overgrown grass that towers over us. It's suffocating without sunlight. Unbearable! The crew mentioned that
following the right path would lead us to hidden clues and supplies within half an hour, yet we have found
nothing!”
The more Skyla dwelled on it, the more her frustration grew. Initially, she had been pleased with Giuliana’s
leadership, but now she deeply regretted her choice. Giuliana clearly lacked leadership skills, and at this pace,
they risked not only failing their task and losing valuable screen tbut also exhausting themselves. However,
it was too late now to propose Khloe as a better leader. Sharp as she was, Khloe would likely decline to clean up
Giuliana’s mess.
As Skyla schemed, she saw an opportunity to provoke a confrontation between Giuliana and Khloe. Knowing
Khloe’s nature, she was certain a clash would happen. Such would surely enhance the show's intrigue and
potentially draw viewer attention to herself.
Resolved, Skyla defiantly sat down and mocked Giuliana. “If Khloe had been in charge, we would've already

How do you expect us to complete the task?”
Giuliana’s expression soured, her gaze sharply warning Skyla.
Yet, determined to forge a reputation as someone who speaks her mind, Skyla was undisturbed by Giuliana’s
glare and did not hold back in her criticism.
“Giuliana, your glare isn’t solving anything. I'm justified in my complaints. Just look at the path we've been on.
My arms and legs are covered in cuts from the grass and scratches from the bushes.”
As she spoke, Skyla lowered herself to the ground, rolling up her sleeves and pants to reveal vivid red scratches
contrasting sharply with her skin, accompanied by swollen mosquito bites.
This visual evidence was quite startling, casting Giuliana’s leadership abilities in a poor light.

Giuliana, though weary herself, had been enduring to assert her leadership and outdo Khloe. Upon hearing
Skyla’s complaints, Giuliana suppressed her impulse to dismiss Skyla from the group, instead attempting gentle
persuasion. “Just a bit longer, we'll be past this rough patch soon.”
“That's what you keep saying!” Skyla snapped, licking her parched lips. “I'm staying put. | need water! As our
leader, it’s your responsibility to find us water. If you can’t even secure water for us, maybe Khloe should take
over as leader.”
These words deeply agitated Giuliana, sparking rage within her, though she hid her emotions behind a composed
exterior. Resolved to surpass Khloe, Giuliana clenched her teeth and said, “Alright, I'll go find water now.”
She turned away and walked off, determined to demonstrate that she was far superior to Khloe.
Khloe stayed quietly at the back, watching Giuliana walk away. She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Skyla, who
appeared straightforward but was, in reality, much more cunning. Khloe realized that Skyla was quite clever, with
a sharp mind. She knew how to adjust when things weren't going in her favor, using Giuliana’s hostility towards
her to her advantage. Khloe suspected that Skyla would soon try to create tension between her and Giuliana.
Yet, Khloe’s disdain for Giuliana, who was aligned with Sloane, was even greater. Thus, she chose not to reveal
Skyla’s intentions. Using Skyla to strike at both Giuliana and Sloane suited Khloe’s purposes perfectly.
Within a mere ten minutes, Giuliana returned, her expression one of defeat. “I didn’t find any water.”
As expected, Skyla’s face twisted with irritation when she heard Giuliana’s words. “Then why did you cback?
Why do you insist on being the leader when you're so incompetent? Why not let someone capable take over
instead?”
Skyla didn’t mention Khloe’s name, but the implication of her words was clear. She was trying to sow discord
between Khloe and Giuliana.
