"If the police ask you, say that it was Oliva's idea to film a black bear to become an online celebrity. She deliberately provoked it."

"Even when Oliva was alive, she didn't bring any benefits to our family."

"Now that she's dead, we can't be implicated by her and go to jail, right?"

My parents were afraid of going to jail, so they agreed to Oliva's proposal.

At that moment, I couldn't help but say, "It is too dangerous to go to a primeval forest. You may encounter wild animals there. The wild animals there are not as gentle as the ones in the zoo. They may even eat people alive!"

Upon hearing my words, Oliva was unhappy.

"What do you mean, Aleah Hawk? You curse me to death before I even go there?"

"Are there any wild beasts nowadays?"

"Are you jealous that I inherited our parents' good genes? You're targeting me everywhere!"

My mom started lecturing me on the side, saying, "You have no prospects. If your sister becomes popular, our family can live in a villa. Otherwise, by relying on you working at a convenience store, we'll never be able to afford a house in this lifetime. And you have the nerve to say that!"

Oliva's earnings via a live stream were equivalent to my one month's salary.

Oliva had always been good at pleasing people. She used the money she earned from live streaming to buy many gifts for our parents. She had won them over, and they all disdained me.

While saying this, Oliva threw a pair of shoes at me and said, "By the way, help me clean these shoes. I'm going to wear them to the primitive forest on Independence Day."

"Okay." I smiled and replied, picking up the shoes and earnestly cleaning them.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Once you leave, don't come back."

"Helping you clean these shoes is the last thing I'll do for you."

"In this life, I will never go to the primeval forest with you and lose my life in vain."

"Since you're going to kill yourself, die by yourself!"

"Mom, let's bring Dad along. When we become popular, we will have three live-streaming accounts for selling goods online."

Oliva held my mom's hand and acted coquettishly.

My mom, upon hearing this, thought she could become an internet celebrity. She excitedly nodded her head.

During dinner, the three of them discussed what to bring to the primitive forest, while I ate silently.

My dad asked, "Aleah, aren't you coming with us?"
