Chapter 378 Unreasonable Rules
Abigail climbed to the second floor and entered a room. Just as she wanted to start searching, a person suddenly leaped out of the cabinet beside the door.
Before she could react, she was forcefully pushed aside.
The bulky man grabbed her hand and tried to snatch the key tied to her wrist.
Swiftly, she pushed the person away, but he quickly closed the distance again.
She didn’t remember who this actor was, but he was strong and seemed to lack any sense of personal boundaries.
When she turned around, he actually embraced her from behind.
Disgusted, Abigail shouted, “Stop!”
Sorry, Alana. This is how the game is played.” The man paid no attention to her protest, reaching for the key tied to her wrist.
Since her struggle was to no avail, she suddenly stopped and turned to face the man. “If you don’t want your reputation to be tarnished in the edited video, don’t get so close. Even in a game, there’s no need to play like this.”
The man smiled and forcefully grabbed the key from her hand.
As he retreated, he swung the key in his hand and said, “Miss Alana, didn’t you read the game rules? The rules say that in this game, any means are allowed to provide excitement for the audience. Besides, if you’ve seen the variety shows produced by the production team before, you’d know it’s Mr. Stuart’s style
With that, he was going to leave, but when he turned around, the door swung open. He collided with the door, causing his nose to start bleeding. He dropped the key, crouched down, and covered his nose in pain.
Abigail seized the opportunity to grab the key. When she saw a student at the door, she immediately grabbed her and started running.
After they had run some distance, the student asked in a hushed voice, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go to the sixth floor.” Abigail guessed that the treasure chest might be on the sixth floor.
She figured that if Tristan wanted to play tricks on her, he would put the chest in the highest place. to make it harder for her.
“Leo George and Gabe Grant have already gone ahead. I’ll go with you,” the student, Miranda Cooke, told her.
Yet, Abigail shook her head. “We should split up.”
Miranda hesitated and said, “But most of them are guys”
“Don’t worry. Just be careful. The key is to participate.” Abigail reassured her.
In fact, the result didn’t matter much. Anyhow, Tristan wouldn’t let her win easily.
After they parted ways, Abigail continued her cautious exploration.
The hotel was quite large, and by the time she reached the third floor, she was already exhausted. She was chased by several people along the way, and she nearly stumbled a few times. Unfortunately, there were cameras everywhere on the set, so she had to do her best.
Otherwise, Tristan could easily edit the footage to show that she couldn’t handle the challenge but still demanded a high salary, which would make it difficult to shake off the labels of little fairy or princess.
