Chapter 85

A prolonged silence had fallen.

Burton was catching the constant glances from Eileen. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you trying to piss me off on purpose? You know damn well Elaine is my sister!”

Eileen, slapping Burton’s shoulder, said loudly, “A good bro should always protect his sis!”

At this point, Egbert sighed, removed Eileen’s hand from Burton’s shoulder, and muttered, “I’m out.”

Eileen frowned at him, “Don’t butt in when I’m discussing.”

Egbert walked straight to the tree.

“Hey!” Eileen grabbed his sleeve.

Egbert turned around, speaking softly, “Don’t worry, there’s a good distance between the ribbon and the wasp nest. I’ll go from behind. I got this.”

“No way, it’s too risky!” Eileen bit her lip, fell silent for a moment, and finally said, “Fine, we’ll go another way.”

Egbert looked at her. Burton eagerly asked, “What’s the plan?”

Eileen didn’t answer, just bent down and started searching the ground. She quickly gathered a bunch of small rocks and pine shells, filled her hat with them, and started walking.

After two steps, she noticed the guys weren’t following her. She yelled impatiently, “Are you coming or no?”

Egbert fell silent for a moment, then he followed. Burton trailed behind too. Soon, the trio reached a hill a distance away from the wasp

nest.

Eileen instructed, “Wrap your heads with your jackets and find somewhere to hide.”

Burton asked in bewilderment, “What on earth are you planning to do?”

“You’ll see.”
