Please Take Me Home, Daddy - Chapter 216: Chapter 216

Laura sat cross-legged on the sand and carefully lined up the coconuts.
Seeing this, Zayn smiled and turned to leave.
[Ahhhhh!]
[Zayn's smile is so sweet!]
[Zayn, you know you'd make a great couple with Laura, right?]
[They are so good to Laura!]
[Laura is so adorable! She's so young and she has so many handsome brothers with her! I'm so jealous!]
[Ditto.]
Laura took a stone from the beach nearby and smashed it at the coconut, muttering, "I have to do something so that my brothers can eat the coconut when they come back."
Meanwhile, Rachel stood under the coconut tree and looked up at it as she murmured, "This is the only thing we can eat."
She covered her eyes with one hand and looked at the coconut in the glaring sunlight. She called out, "Who can climb up to get a coconut?"
Leroy took the initiative to climb up, but he slipped down weakly after just a while. He sighed, "I can't do it. The trunk is too smooth. Maybe we should take our time finding food."
Elaine covered her belly listlessly and whispered, "Rachel, I'm starving. I want to eat."
Rachel felt helpless and caressed Elaine's head. She said in a soothing voice, "Forget it. Let's find something else."
Seeing that his sisters and brothers were a little tired, Leroy said lightly, "Speaking of which, I still don't know who our other opponent is although it has been announced online."
Ever since Winnie posted their humiliating appearance at the party on Skyline Academy's website, their academy had been isolated.
Before that, they were likewise unpopular.
However, no one laughed at them as much as they did now.
This might be their only chance to clear their name.
They didn't care if they had friends or not as long as they got famous.
Rachel said confidently, "I don't know, but I'm sure we'll win if we stick together!"
Elaine was inspired and echoed, "I heard that the owner of the island is a little kid and the island was a gift from her mother when she joined her family. So wicked!"
"If she's about our age, maybe we could be friends," Jeremy agreed.
Rachel smiled and did not join their conversation. She looked into the distance, and her expression suddenly changed.
On the silvery sandy beach, a little girl in khaki pants and a sleeveless top, with two buns tied up, was smashing coconuts tirelessly with a pointy stone.
She had been patient enough to make a tiny gap in each coconut, one more hit and it would open.
Just then, Zayn came up with fruits in his hands and called out, "Laura, come and eat."
Rachel's face changed.
Zayn and Everett got a pocketful of fruit!
Rachel couldn't believe they found so much food!
Laura was overjoyed. She exclaimed, "How did you get so many things?"
Zayn peeled a plantain for Laura and said, "We found a lot of plantain trees in the forest and fruit left by the staff with edible labels on them. There are only fruits, but they're enough to fill us up for now."
Jasper handed Laura an apple and asked, "Are you happy? Seeing so many things?"
Laura nodded and answered firmly, "Yes!"
Then Laura said gleefully, "Lala has done a lot too. Now all these coconuts have been smashed open a little, and we can drink coconut water!"
Zayn was stunned and his eyes suddenly turned tender. He smiled, "Aren't you tired?"
Laura shook her head and chuckled, "I'm not tired!"
Everett took a sip and exclaimed, "Laura, you're amazing! But how did you get it open? That must be hard for you!"
Laura said happily, "I chiseled them open one after another. I'm good, right?"
[Aww! It's so sweet. Laura, you're amazing!]
[I was just interested in whether Laura was as adorable as people said she was, but now I'm impressed by her! She's more determined than some adults! I'm a big fan now!]
[Laura is such a delightful girl, and she's not at all petulant! I'm a fan of hers too.]
The more Rachel watched the scene, the angrier she got.
It turned out that her opponent was Laura!
Now Rachel was even more convinced that Laura had a powerful supporter!
She bet that Laura didn't get it on her own!
Rachel quickly adjusted her face and strode over, exclaiming, "Wow! How did you guys get so much food?"
Laura turned around and called out in surprise, "Rachel?"
'My opponent is Rachel?' thought Laura surprised.
Rachel pretended to be familiar with Laura and smiled enviously, "Oh my God, Laura, you have so many delicacies. I really envy you. My family and I haven't found anything to eat."
Zayn glanced at the drone.
'What an actress she is,' thought Zayn disdainfully.
Zayn sneered, "Rachel, why are you suddenly being so nice to us? I remember you bullied Laura before, didn't you?"
Laura was also confused. She echoed, "That's true, you never smile at me. What's wrong with you today?"
Rachel tilted her head to act cute and asked innocently, "What are you talking about? I'm just envious of you guys. Can't I envy you for all the food you got?"
[Am I overthinking this? Why do I feel like this Rachel is being bitchy?]
[I thought she was a bit of a hypocrite from the moment she came out. I guess I didn't overthink it.]
[Does she know Laura?]
[I know them in real life. Laura and Rachel are both students at Skyline Academy and they have a beef. The boy with spectacles bullied Laura and almost got expelled.]
[For real?]
Meriel, who was watching the livestream, frowned and retorted. [Aren't you ashamed of rumoring about a bunch of innocent kids? Everyone knows Laura's family is wealthy and she bullies other kids for it!]
However, she immediately sparked angry live comments.
[Aren't you making up rumors now? Do you have any proof?]
[The boy with spectacles looks to be about 12 years old. You're talking about a 12-year-old boy being bullied by a preschool kid? You think that's reasonable?]
[You're pathetic because you don't have a brain.]
[She must be a hater.]
Meriel was speechless.
She was not good at arguing.
She decided to find some paid posters to help Rachel defeat Laura!
Meanwhile, in the live-streaming channel, Elaine knew she had to help her sister. She walked up to Laura and asked pretentiously, staring at the apple in her hand, "Pardon, may I know where you got this apple? Would you mind telling me? I want to eat the apples, too."
Laura was shocked and she snorted, "Elaine, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking to me like that? Aren't you supposed to be mean?"
The corner of Elaine's mouth twitched and she continued to say in a pitiful tone, "So... Is it because you don't want to tell me about it?"
Laura snapped, "I don't want to tell you about it if you keep talking to me in such a gross accent."
Elaine didn't know what to say.
