Chapter 456 Outright Rejection Tobias would not allow himself to look bad on television! Meanwhile, Oliver and Zane's expressions were flat. They were already thinking up ways to get more screen time.

"Has everyone decided on their partner?" Dexter asked through the microphone.

This time, the non-celebrity guests and their famous counterparts answered in unison. "Yes." The moment the word rang through the air, the veil secured in place to separate the celebrities and the candidates was dropped.

Wynter removed her blindfold. Nonchalance was written all over her beautiful face.

She had heard the celebrity guests' discussion earlier and seen the faces of her fellow non-celebrity guests.

She only agreed to join the filming because she had sensed grudges and anger teeming the air. If that went on, she was sure something tragic might happen.

What she hadn't expected was to join a survival gshow that required her to go on missions.

The camera panned to the non-celebrity guests, who were numbered one to five. The celebrity guests and the audience alike were stunned when they saw Wynter.

Her beautiful features set her apart from the other non-celebrities. Even Lucy, who was known for her fresh and delicate looks, could not even begin to compete with her.

*Damn! I thought Cecilia would steal the spotlight for sure, but... Are you sure the fifth candidate isn't a rookle who's about to debut?" one of the viewers asked incredulously.

"The fifth candidate was invited to join the program at the last minute! I saw it in the production crew's alternative live-streaming channel!' someone explained in the comments.

"She's hot, but why is she in vocational school?" another mused.

"Maybe she's just another pretty face like Kina. They make the perfect, insipid pair," a viewer jested.

Zane's eyes widened when he saw Wynter on set. He told Tobias begrudgingly, "Mr. Quinnell, bet you're all fired up for the mission after picking a total babe as your partner. How lucky for you." Tobias was known for having a short fuse. Logan and the others wouldn't tread so carefully around him otherwise.

"I remember the whole premise of Ultimate Survival is to piece together a true story from the filming location and speak up for the weak. At least, that was Mr. Lyons' vision when he first launched the show," Tobias drawled icily.

He would have been perfectly content in ignoring Zane for the rest of the show, but he didn't like that.

Zane was making fun of him because his partner was a good-looking young lady.

Chapter 456 Outright Rejection "I suggest you be careful not to take the director's and production team's vision for this show out of context, Tobias spat, shooting a dark look at Zane.

With his height and aloof expression, Tobias looked imperious as he gave Zane a talking-down. Zane bristled and clenched his fists at Tobias' less-than-kind advice.

He eeked cut a forced smile and said through gritted teeth, "I look forward to seeing you finish the mission, Mr. Quinnell. I hope you'll still be able to keep your cool by then." "The dissing has begun! I'm so excited!" a viewer typed.

“Kina's right, though. What Zane said wasn't exactly appropriate," someone pointed out.

"Oh, please. Kina's just one of those pretentious idols. He's secretly pissed that he chose the weakest partner and decided to lash out at Zane. Yet, his fans are rising to his defense. It makessick," someone chided.

"Can't wait to see Kina make a fool of himself!" Wynter normally paid no mind to the subtle digs or bad blood between celebrities. But when she saw Tobias, she stopped toying with the pendant around her neck.

Save for Elliot, the other Quinnell brothers had yet to see Wynter's pictures or meet her in person.

2/2 But Wynter had seen them before. She couldn't avoid it when Fabian kept sending her pictures of them and talking about them.

Tobias was not in many of the pictures, the few that existed of him made perfect sticker material. Wynter had seen enough of them to question how he beca famous Idol in the first place.

Now that she had seen him in person, she could tell that Tobias was born for the entertainment m industry. He had the looks and the charm, not to mention the personality. Meanwhile, Tobias was about to offer a snarky retort to Zane when he noticed his partner staring at him.

Dread filled him at once.

Ursula had told him before he con the show to avoid picking female partners for the challenge, the audience would be inclined to make a romantic pairing out of them both. or Statistics had shown that such a pairing wouldn't help an idol's career, at least not in the long run when the romantic pairing fizzled out.

Tobias still had dreams to achieve and big money to make. He refused to see his career be brought to an end.

As such, he turned to Wynter and said curtly, "You'll only end up with a broken heart if you fall for me."
