Chapter 155 Game Punishment

So much so that whatever she said, netizens started to get suspicious, feeling that something was off.

In the end, Evan, who was off to the side, gestured for Liz to step outside.

Finally, Liz came back with a dark expression, stared at Emily for a long moment, and then said coldly, “The interview segment is over. Now it’s time for our game segment.”

This live show had three segments.

The first was the interview and promo, where guests got to talk about their work and boost their exposure.

Once the interview was over, the guests jumped into a bunch of fun games to see how well they clicked.

This was also the main draw of the show.

Because this show was famous for never playing by the rules.

In the game segment, wins and losses were totally random.

The punishments were random, too.

Like, taking off makeup right there, doing the splits, or whatever wild stuff they came up with.

And sometimes, the punishments were leveled up, like calling an ex to borrow money, telling them you missed them, or confessing all sorts of embarrassing things to an ex.

Sometimes, they’d spill some behind–the–scenes secrets from the set or air their own dirty laundry.

Basically, unless it was something R–rated, anyone could expect all kinds of crazy, over–the–top punishments, stuff that would make anyone cringe.

Plus, since it was a live stream, everything happened in real time, no do–overs.

If someone drew a ridiculous punishment and refused to go through with it, not only would the production team blacklist you, but the whole internet would roast them.

They might never get another shot at being on screen again.

So, all the guests were giving it their all, desperate to win the games.

No one wanted to be stuck with the punishment.

Emily figured that since she’d already paid Kayla off, she would definitely go all out to help her win, so she teamed up with Kayla without a second thought.

She kept herself off camera, counting on Kayla to take the lead and secure the win for her.

But the outcome was pretty much a no–brainer.

Thanks to Kayla’s so–called “help,” Emily ended up a total mess during the game and still lost.

Emily was speechless. ‘Damn it, I’m so pissed off, she thought.

She gritted her teeth, wanting to glare at Kayla, but with the cameras rolling, she had to hold it in. Still, she couldn’t help but complain, “Kayla, what was that? If you hadn’t tripped me, we wouldn’t have lost.”

Kayla put on her best innocent face. “It was chaos out there. I honestly have no idea what happened.

“A bet is a bet. The loser takes the punishment. Let’s draw one.” She spread her hands.

As she spoke, she glanced at the punishment box. “You wanna pick, or should I?”

That offhand tone nearly made Emily explode with anger.

Her eyes were a little red as she bit back her anger and said, “I’ll pick.”

She thought, ‘A bet is a bet. Loser takes the punishment.‘

Emily knew she couldn’t try to cheat or make excuses in front of the stream viewers. Even if she wanted to, she didn’t dare.

She was here to clear her name, not to make things worse for herself.

She definitely didn’t want to end up more hated.

All she could do was put all her hopes on that person, praying that Evan, who’d been set up by them, would secretly help her out and let her pull an easy punishment.

Sure enough, Emily drew a punishment that everyone thought was way too easy, no drama, nothing entertaining at all. [Take out your phone, pull up your call history, and call back the first number until they answer.]

Chapter 155 Game Punishment

Since everyone was here for the shew, the most recent call was almost always to their assistant or their agent.

Anything else was pretty unlikely.

Kayla grinned and said, “Emily always has the best luck, no matter what.”

She gave Emily a knowing wink, clearly hinting at something.

Still smiling, she said, “I’m fine with this punishment.”

Emily’s face stiffened as she listened to Kayla, and when Kayla said she was fine with the punishment, her expression darkened further.

She looked downright miserable now.

She’d actually been hoping Kayla would be the first to refuse the punishment and make a scene, so they’d get another shot at picking a different punishment.

But Kayla didn’t care about what Emily wanted at all. She accepted it on the spot, completely ignoring Emily’s plan.

She thought, ‘Who said I agreed to this?

‘This bitch. She took my money, and this is how she pays me back?‘

But Kayla acted as if she didn’t notice Emily’s glare, gestured for the staff to hand her her phone.

Once she got her phone, she unlocked it.

To make sure everyone in the stream could see exactly what was happening, the crew projected her phone screen onto the big screen.

Of course, everything around the main display was pixelated, making sure the guests‘ personal info stayed safe.

Kayla opened up her call history.

With everything else blurred out, only the name of the first caller showed up.

It was Kayla’s assistant.

Kayla went ahead and called.

After a few seconds of ringing, the call connected. “Hey, Kayla, what’s up?” her assistant said.

Kayla didn’t answer. Instead, she waved her phone around with a big grin and said, “My part is done.”

With that, all eyes turned to Emily.

Just then, the staff handed Emily her phone.

But Emily stood there, hesitating, not reaching for it.

[What’s Emily doing? Is she about to drop some drama?]

[Isn’t this punishment supposed to be super easy? Why is she standing there, fidgeting? Look at Kayla. She did it without blinking.]

[Stop dragging it out. Can she get on with it already?]

[What’s Emily so nervous about? Is she hiding some juicy secret on her phone?]

୮

[Is her most recent call someone she can’t call back in front of everyone?]

[The more nervous Emily looks, the more I wanna dig up the dirt.]
