Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Betrayal

"Why?" she had asked, her voice trembling with hurt and disbelief. "Why did you push me toward them? I thought we were best friends!"

Li Yuan had looked down, guilt written all over her face.

"I'm sorry… I was under too much pressure. I didn't mean it. My mind wasn't clear."

Wang Bao had wanted to scream at her, to tell her how betrayed she felt.

But in the end, she had decided to let it slide. Li Yuan was her best friend, after all. Maybe it really had been an accident. Maybe the fear had gotten to her.

But things had only gotten worse from there.

A few weeks later, an opportunity arose—someone from Cedar Base had come to offer help.

They could only take one person from the group, and it was supposed to be someone who had the best chance of surviving and thriving at the base.

Wang Bao had thought that she and Li Yuan would stick together and that they would work out a plan to make sure both of them stayed safe.
