Anthea was sure that there was no warning sign when she came over earlier because if she had seen this warning sign, she would have walked around that spot. She wasn't stupid...
She wrinkled up her face.
"What's wrong?" Adam asked.
Anthea slowly pursed her lips and snorted with resentment. "My intuition tells me that my accident has something to do with your sister-in-law, but I have no evidence!"
There was no one else in the forest apart from the students.
Anthea believed that she had never made any enemies in school, although she didn't make many friends apart from Leonardo either. She spent most of her time studying hard, but she got along just fine with her classmates.
The only one who had a grudge against her was probably Shelby, who had just transferred here.
So when she saw the warning sign that came out of nowhere, although there was no evidence, her woman's intuition told her that it had something to do with Shelby.
After she said that, she couldn't help but glance at Adam.
She thought that he would think that those were only words of jealousy, but he frowned, and his handsome face darkened.
Adam narrowed his eyes, and the look in his eyes was fierce. The energy he gave off had something murderous about it.
He held her little hand and said in a cold voice, "Fortunately, you are not injured this time, otherwise, I'll teach her a lesson."
Anthea was touched. She blinked and asked, "Well, are you going to do that as her brother-in-law?"
"No." Adam shook his head and lowered his head to look at her. "As your man."
Anthea lowered her gaze shyly.
She was lifted off the ground. Leaning against his chest, she was lost in his masculine scent.
Back at the rendezvous point, the remaining bus and SUV were still waiting.
The sunlight dimmed more obviously in the mountains. The evening sky was tainted red, and the thick branches and blocked out the light.
The girls all stayed behind in the bus, and an instructor was there to look after them.
As time went by, the sky gradually darkened, and the mood in the bus became uneasy.
"It's been so long. Haven't they found her yet? It's getting dark!"
"I don't want to spend the night in the mountains!"
"There's nothing to worry about. There are so many of us here. If they really can't find Anthea, won't she have to stay in the mountains alone for tonight? It'll be so scary!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but rub their arms.
Shelby liked the sound of that so much that she couldn't help but start humming a song.
She was very confident that the others would never find Anthea.
She had put the warning sign back, and everyone would walk around it without searching the area. She was the only one who knew where Anthea was, but she would never tell them.
In the end, if they couldn't find her, they might call the police. But when it came to it, it would be dark already. Maybe they wouldn't find her until tomorrow morning. By then, Anthea would have stayed in the trap all night. She would definitely be scared out of her wits!
"Hey, look!"
In the bus, a girl suddenly cried out in a low voice.
Shelby paid no attention. She was still immersed in her good mood as she elegantly combed through her hair.
The girl cried out again, "They've found Anthea!"
"What?" Shelby shouted in disbelief.
Her voice made the girl jump. She then pointed outside the window. "She's right there. Chief Instructor Chin has found her!"
