<h4>Chapter 344: Chapter 344: You Can Still Laugh?</h4>


    At first, she shouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess; she originally wanted Scarlett Yates to disappear but ended up getting herself caught up in it.


    If they genuinely can’t leave this small ind, she’s afraid to even think about the consequences.


    Once the food runs out, will they slowly starve to death?


    When hunger reaches a certain level, it’s possible they might even turn on each other.


    Thinking about this, a chill ran down her spine, and she felt utterly terrified.


    "Trapped on the ind?" Just when Alice Green was scaring herself to death with endless wild thoughts, she suddenly heard Scarlett Yatesugh, and theughter surprisingly carried some joy.


    It sounded almost rxed.


    Alice couldn’t help but feel furious, "What are youughing at? We’ve fallen into such a miserable state, and you can stillugh? Scarlett Yates, I truly don’t understand you, aren’t you even a bit worried? I see the food in that bag won’tst more than two days, have you thought about what we’ll do if nobody finds us by then?"


    She didn’t understand what Scarlett Yates wasughing about, andughing so happily at that.


    But seeing her look so oblivious, seemingly not aware of the seriousness of the situation, Alice Green’s anger mounted.


    After Alice Green finished expressing her worries and anger in a flurry of words, Scarlett Yates turned her head to meet her furious gaze and calmly said, "Firstly, since they left us food, it means they don’t intend for us to starve."


    "You just said the food is enough for at most two days, so I specte that someone will find us within these two days."


    "They only brought us to an unknown ind without doing anything else, which shows they don’t want our lives. Otherwise, why go through so much trouble? We were just dazed, and have no injuries, right?"


    Faced with such a situation for the first time, Scarlett Yates couldn’t possibly not be afraid.


    She could remain as calm andposed as she was now only because of the things the person who brought her here told her.


    That person said, barring any idents, they probably wouldn’t stay here more than one night.


    As long as the bidding meeting ends, their purpose would be achieved, and she and Alice Green would have the opportunity to leave here.


    So, of course, she wasn’t at all flustered.


    But she wouldn’t tell Alice Green any of this.


    No matter if what that man said is true or not, whether it was indeed Henry Dales orchestrating this, she wouldn’t reveal a single word to Alice Green.


    In a sense, that man understood her.


    She indeed wouldn’t disclose anything that might implicate Henry Dales, even though she firmly believed it wasn’t his doing.


    She recalled that stormy night when Henry Dales said those words to her.


    He said, "Scarlett, I will treasure your heart for a lifetime."


    A man who could say such words to her, she didn’t believe he would do such things to her for so-called benefits.


    The Henry Dales she knew wouldn’t be that kind of person.


    "Let’s hope it’s like you said." After hearing Scarlett Yates’ analysis, Alice Green’s expression wasn’t as dreadful. Although her face was still pale, the fear in her eyes seemed to lessen a bit.


    It looked like she agreed with Scarlett Yates’ words.


    Indeed, if those people truly intended to trap them on this ind, why go to the trouble of leaving food for them?
