NovelAppChapter 454 The car pulled up to the bustling market square of the small country town. Although the town wasn't large, it was teeming with life, with vendors lining both sides of the streets.
Each group member clutched a meager twenty bucks - barely enough to cover groceries, let alone any extras.
For Heather, who had never experienced rural life or the chaos of a crowded market, maintaining her usual poise amidst the throng of people was a bit of a stretch. The mere thought of diving into the farmers’ market to buy produce was suffocating, let alone navigating the crowd.
In this little countryside locale, celebrities weren't idolized. Even if someone looked vaguely familiar, focals wouldn't fuss over them.

Having spent a good chunk of tin a small town like this with Catherine, Mirabella wasn’t a stranger to the hustle and bustle of the market. Glancing at Leo, whose face was etched with curiosity, she just shook her head silently. Indeed, the online commenters had hit the nail on the head. Leo was a pampered little princess.
“Just stick with me,” Mirabella said, pulling Leo along with a low voice.
Leo blinked, his delicate features and curly brown hair giving him an endearing and cool look. He stood out in the crowd like a natural spotlight. Setting aside his singing and dancing talents, Leo’s raw appeal needed no embellishment. His all-angle beauty alone was enough to draw the idol halo. Stardom seemed inevitable for him.
Leo was well aware of his assets and was completely compliant with his sister's instructions.
The crew had provided funds only for groceries and hadn't specified where to shop, so upon entering the market, they had to locate the vendors on their own.
With Leo in tow, Mirabella made a beeline into the heart of the market like a pro. Soon, they'd left Hans, Heather, and Gabriel's group trailing behind.
Heather, cautious of getting her clothes dirty from the bustling crowd, moved at a snail's pace. Hans and Gabriel, being polite, slowed down to wait for her.
Watching Mirabella and Leo disappear into the crowd, Heather's lips curled with disdain. “Country bumpkins indeed,” she thought.

*Juztin and his sister seem pretty familiar with the countryside,” Michelle remarked gently, glancing at Hans and Gabriel, hinting that the siblings might've been from a humble rural background.
Hans furrowed his brow but responded flatly. “This town’s got just one main street. It's only logical to head straight in to find the vegetable stalls.” Michelle's expression stiffened briefly before she regained her composure. “Right, let’s move quickly then,” she said. “Sure,” Hans replied and stepped ahead, not deliberately slowing down this time, widening the gap between them and Heather's group.
In the live stream chat: Does anyone else think Michelle’s comments are a bit snide?Looks like she’s trying to put down Juztin’s sister again. Didn't she learn from the last episode?She was just making an offhand remark. Why do you guys have to be so harsh?, she’s not even fit to lace up our lady’s shoes!
Meanwhile, Mirabella and Leo had reached a vegetable stall.
Leo surveyed the heaps of greens on the ground and, after asking for prices , stood there crunching nember to figure out what twenty bucks could get them.
After pondering for a bit, Leo scratched his head and looked at his sister. " Mira, got any idea how we should go about this? ” Mirabella tilted her head, glanced at him, and simply motioned him closer with a crooked finger.
