A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 70

"That's enough, Demi! If you're mad at me, then take it out on me! Don't take it out on the food! Mrs. Yale and I worked hard to gather these. And you're telling us to throw it all away?

"The knowing ones will know you're targeting me! But the clueless ones might think you're even targeting Mrs. Yale!" Ana glared at Demi.

Her outburst immediately drew everyone's attention.

The other cast members looked on with surprise. Wendy looked embarrassed, while Maria seemed anxious and guilt-ridden.

Demi looked at Ana as if she were a fool. "Those are poisonous mushrooms."

"You didn't even look at them and already know they're poisonous?" Ana's anger flared.

The chat buzzed.

"Exactly! Demi's behavior is questionable. No wonder people call her the vicious gal!"

"She didn't even properly check and just declared the mushrooms poisonous! How arrogant!"

"I'm not on anyone's side, and I was starting to like Demi. But she's in the wrong this time. She's obviously targeting the others! It's distasteful!"

"I've been hopping between live streams and know a bit about mushrooms. From what I saw, most of Ana's mushrooms are indeed poisonous. But I didn't watch everything, so I can't be sure about the rest."

"Even if Annie picked mostly poisonous mushrooms, Demi shouldn't dismiss them so quickly without properly checking them. If she didn't want to help, she could've just refused. Her pettiness is uncalled for!"

"Demi overstepped this time."

"If you won't help, I'll check them myself!" Ana huffed, throwing the mushrooms Demi had sorted back into the basket. She picked up the basket and stomped off to a corner to begin researching with her phone.

The atmosphere grew awkward.

Even the other cast members and crew felt that Demi's actions seemed tactless.

Maria felt the same way.
