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 rea*sured 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.

When Abigail reached the fourth floor, she realized that there were only 15 minutes left.

“Leo, Gabe, what floor are you on?” she inquired, using her walkie-talkie.

Even after some time, no response came.

Instead, it was Miranda who responded over the walkie-talkie, saying, I’m on the fourth floor.”

Without hesitation, Abigail continued upward.

Just then, the announcement came over the loudspeakers. “Leo has defected, losing one key, and

Gabe has mysteriously disappeared. As the teacher, Alana, will you choose to find the missing. Gabe

or continue moving forward?”

Abigail muttered a curse under her breath and said to Miranda, “You continue forward. I’ll go look for

Gabe.”

These game rules were clearly unreasonable.

She was seething with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

An hour pa*sed quickly.

Except for the defected Leo, the other two students and Abigail needed to face punishment.

Their punishment was being dropped into the water from a great height. That meant they would be

suspended in the air and then released.

After the punishment, there was a temporary break from the first round of the

game.

Drying her face with a towel, Abigail said to Gabe and Miranda beside her, “In the next round, the other

team will search for the treasure chest. Since Leo has joined Group C, we won’t go easy on them if we

encounter them.”

“Do you know how Leo defected?” Miranda asked Gabe, who looked innocent and introverted.

“I went into a room with him, but I was controlled. Leo left immediately, and I thought he was going to

find the treasure chest, but he defected. My walkie-talkie was turned off, so I couldn’t hear what you

guys were saying,” Gabe explained honestly.

Miranda looked displeased as she dried her hair. She had a somewhat androgynous appearance and

appeared quite cool.

“Leo is such a jack ss. We should work together with Miss Alana,” she said bitterly.

The program had a rule that, once the recording was over, if the three students performed well, they

could be selected by Abigail to become her students, which would provide them with a direct path to

employment at L.Moon.

Initially, the three of them had been chosen as representatives of the school and had studied hard just

to join L.Moon, but as soon as the show started. Leo abandoned their team.

“It’s okay,” Abigail rea*sured Miranda.

After a half-hour break, the recording resumed.

This time, they were the captors, and the group with the most members, Group C, became their target.

When Abigail went alone to find the members of Group C, she unexpectedly encountered Eric.

“The program is quite strange. I didn’t even run into your students in the previous round, Eric

commented as soon as he saw Abigail.

“Even if you had, it wouldn’t have changed anything.” She shrugged.
