Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2326

The group continued to eat, drink, and jest. About half an hour later, Susanna returned from her jog, panting heavily, her hair a mess, holding her sneakers in one hand, looking utterly disheveled.

Magdalen asked again, "Is Ms. Murphy still up for the game?"

"Of course!" Susanna scoffed. "I refuse to believe I'll keep losing!"

"Wow!" Magdalen turned to the others. "I've never seen anyone as persistent as Ms. Murphy!"

Emily and Marina struggled to contain their laughter; they knew Magdalen too well, so her statement clearly meant, "I've never seen anyone as foolish as Ms. Murphy!"

Magdalen said to Amiee, "Let's keep the game going, deal the cards!"

"Hold on!" Susanna suddenly intervened, her gaze challenging as she looked at Amiee, "This time, I'll shuffle and deal the cards!"

Amiee nodded without a word, and handed the cards over.

Whether it was bad luck or something else, Susanna lost again.

The winner was Marina.

Marina asked, "Does Ms. Murphy choose truth or dare?"

After a moment's hesitation, Susanna chose dare.

Marina said, "Since you just ran, how about push-ups this time? Given your fitness, thirty should be no problem, right?"

Susanna was genuinely annoyed this time, "Are you all ganging up on me?"

Her voice was sharp, attracting the attention of the men nearby. Andrew looked over and felt compelled to ask, "What's going on?"

Magdalen replied calmly, "Andrew, your girlfriend wanted to play truth or dare with us. Now that she's lost, she's accusing us of ganging up on her. Maybe you should come over and judge for yourself if we're treating her unfairly?"

Andrew, with a stern face, scolded Susanna, "If you can't handle the game, don't play!"

Publicly embarrassed and now chastised by Andrew, Susanna's pride was deeply wounded, and she stormed off, her face a mix of shame and anger.
