Chapter 179: Hudson Won’t Come Without Olivia
Hudson’s declaration left everyone at the scene frozen in disbelief. The live stream chat erupted instantly. “Olivia? Who’s that? Did my idol lose his mind?” “I didn’t even see this Olivia person earlier. Who is she?” “No clue. Who is this nobody?”
Even the cameraman was momentarily stunned, taking two seconds before turning the camera toward Olivia, who had been ignored until now. When the audience saw Olivia on screen, they were taken aback. A breathtakingly beautiful face, radiant in the sunlight, filled the frame. Clearly lost in her thoughts, Olivia looked surprised and slightly annoyed when the camera suddenly zoomed in on her.
“Whoa! Who’s this goddess? She’s dazzling!” “Oh my God, such a beauty, look over here!” “Haha, she looks as startled as we are. Her expression is so cute!”
Olivia hadn’t expected the focus to shift to her. She furrowed her brow slightly, confused yet composed. Shawn, Joycelyn, and Louis exchanged surprised glances, clearly puzzled. All of them were far more prominent than Olivia; none had anticipated that Hudson would name someone so obscure.
The host blinked in surprise before recovering. “Olivia’s new drama hasn’t even premiered yet. Hudson, how can you already say you like it?”
Hudson gave a relaxed smile. “My sister is a big fan of Ms. Carter. The show isn’t out yet, but the trailer is. She made me watch it with her.” Hudson then turned to Olivia. “My sister also asked if she could have your autograph, Ms. Carter.”
Under Hudson’s intense gaze, Olivia briefly wondered if her secret identity had been exposed. Hudson’s unexpected comment made the others inwardly fume. How did Olivia manage this stroke of luck? The Sullivan Group heiress, a fan of hers?
The host chuckled in understanding. “So that’s how it is. Hudson and Olivia being on the same show must really be a stroke of fate.”
Tobie, the producer, suppressed a smirk. Fate? Not at all. Hudson specifically requested Olivia. Without her, he wouldn’t have agreed to join.
Smiling, the host shifted gears. “Let’s get started with the first episode. Here’s how it works.”
“For this episode, we’ve chosen the scenic and remote Willowridge to kick things off. Surrounded by mountains and entirely cut off from city life, this location will be your home for the next few days. Each of you will be randomly dropped in different spots within the mountains. During this time, you’ll need to…”

Joycelyn’s jaw dropped. “Wait, what? I thought we’d be staying in the village!”
The host laughed. “Not at all. To keep things lively, we’ve also added a small challenge for you.”
Staff members brought out a box, opening it to reveal shimmering gold bars that lit up the room.
“There are 100 gold bars here. Each of you can take as many as you like. Additionally, you can choose as many essential supplies as you need to bring into the mountains. After three days, the person with the most gold bars will win the episode and take home one of these bars as a prize.”
