There were over ten rooms on the hotel's top floor, and all of them were used as the set for the Script Kill game. According to the planning company, the set was life-sized and based on the script.After the staff briefly introduced the game instructions, everyone took turns drawing lots to get their roles.Abigail drew the housewife role, while Malcolm drew the lawyer role. The two were husband and wife in the script.After everyone confirmed the relationship between their roles, Malcolm walked to Abigail's side. He reached out and patted her on her shoulder. "Honey..."Since they were role-playing, everyone addressed each other according to their roles. Abigail moved her lips, but she could not utter the word "honey"."Honey, there's no need to rush. You can take your time and practice when we go to our room later," Malcolm said to Abigail. However, he felt an inexplicable icy feeling on his neck.He lifted his head and searched for the source of the icy feeling. As expected, h
Xander had never used such crude methods to set up others, but his circle was really complicated, so the people used various dirty tricks.His friend, Ron, was forced to marry Emma because he got drugged and accidentally slept with her.Abigail's circle was much simpler. Aside from work, she spent most of her time drawing at home, so she did not know such things."Drugged? What kind of drug?""Aphrodisiac..." Xander said through gritted teeth. His gaze looked terrifying under his silver-rimmed glasses.'Someone dared to use such a crude trick on me, so they'll have to bear the consequences,' he thought."Ap-Ap-Aphrodisiac?" Abigail was so shocked by the word that she stuttered and almost bit her own tongue.She finally understood why her body was being this weird.Not only did she feel warm, but she also felt as if there were countless bugs crawling within her; it was so itchy she wanted to claw away her skin."Who drugged us, Mr. Zane? When did they drug us? Why do they want
It seemed as if a century had passed; the two lost track of time. The closed door was forcefully opened, and Paxton immediately ran into the room. "Mr. Zane!"Behind him was Dr. Sander."Go check on Abigail first." Xander's voice was so hoarse it was like his throat had been burned.Dr. Sander quickly took out two pills from her medical kit."Take these pills first."Dr. Sander was Xander's personal doctor, so there were all kinds of rare drugs in her medical kit.She also carried the antidote for such aphrodisiacs with her to prevent Xander from being set up by others.Then, she immediately walked to Abigail. When she saw the scratches of various sizes on her arms, she was so shocked that her heart skipped a beat."Abigail! Why'd you do this to yourself?""Dr. Sander, you're finally here!" Abigail said with a smile before she lost consciousness and promptly fell into Dr. Sander's arms.They did not know Abigail could only use such self-harming methods to regain some rational
'Sigh. Does he think others won't notice his worry just because he isn't coming to see her?' she thought.When Dr. Sander rushed to the scene yesterday, Abigail fainted and fell right into her arms.She quickly gave Abigail the antidote. However, she was incredibly guarded. Despite being unconscious, her teeth were still tightly clenched. Dr. Sander did everything she could and still could not feed the antidote into Abigail's mouth.She only released her tightly clenched teeth after Xander, who was in dire straits like her, called her name and gently coaxed her.Then, Dr. Sander could not help but shudder when she thought of Xander's gaze when he saw the scratch marks of various sizes on her arms.'I've been by Xander's side for many years. One time, he got set up and almost lost his life, but he still remained unfazed. I've never seen him this way,' she thought."Dr. Sander, where is this place?" Abigail was a little slow to realize that she was in a completely unfamiliar room.
Dr. Sander subconsciously glanced at Xander. Xander looked at the tablet in his hand and did not say anything; it was as if whether or not Abigail left had nothing to do with him.Dr. Sander helplessly shook her head and said, "Have some oatmeal first, Abigail; we'll talk after you eat.""Alright."'I also had the intention to eat before I leave. Otherwise, Felix and Melody will be worried sick if they see the state I'm currently in,' she thought.The oatmeal was soft and delicious; Abigail wanted another serving after she finished hers. Dr. Sander scooped another bowl of oatmeal for her and laughed. "Eating a lot shows that you've recovered.""It's mainly because of how delicious your cooking is," said Abigail.After she stomached two bowls of oatmeal, she regained most of her energy, and even her spirits were lifted."Mr. Zane, Dr. Sander, I'll be..."Before Abigail could finish her sentence, Paxton walked in with a large box in his arms. "Mr. Zane, Mr. Cooper has sent you yo
Xander's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, froze slightly. The cigarette slowly burned. He did not even notice the pain when the cigarette burned his fingertips.'I'm well aware Abigail doesn't belong to me. I don't even have the right to stay by her bed when she sleeps for an entire day because of the aphrodisiac. I could only learn about her situation from the doctor,' he thought.Dr. Sander watched from the side and suddenly felt a little bad for him.'This might be what people mean by meeting the right person at the wrong time. They can't be together,' she thought.When Abigail said she wanted to go home, Xander could have made her stay with just a single sentence. However, he did not do so.Xander was someone who would go to any lengths just to get what he wanted. But when it came to dealing with Abigail, he had been holding himself back.Xander lit another cigarette. Dr. Sander flipped out. "My goodness! Your temperature still hasn't dropped, and your throat hasn't r
Melody always had inappropriate thoughts, so Abigail did not want to talk about nonsense with her."Where's Fee? Let's get off work early today. I'll treat you guys to a good meal.""Why are you suddenly being so generous? Did you get a bonus?" asked Melody.Abigail nodded furiously. "Mhm, mhm. I've been working quite hard for the past half a year or so. But seeing how I've earned more in the past six months compared to the entirety of last year, all of the hard work was worth it."Melody was happy to see Abigail's hard work get rewarded."We'll have to have something expensive, then. The three of us must properly celebrate this.""How does The Deli sound?" Abigail had wanted to go to this restaurant for a while, but she had not found the time.Melody said, "I want to go there too."The three of them earned more than most people. However, they usually were not high spenders. Their common favorite hobby was eating."By the way, Caterpie. Previously, the things you asked me to h
Xander said, "If you have something to say, just say it."Shawn moved closer to Xander and said mysteriously, "I saw your wife and her boyfriend. They're also having a meal here at this restaurant. Do you wanna go over and say hello?"Xander moved sideways and looked into the room. Sure enough, he saw the disgusting pair of man and woman. The two were even talking and laughing."Let's go." Xander stood up and left.'I can't stomach anything if I eat in the same space as the disgusting couple,' he thought.Shawn quickly followed behind him. He said in a gloating manner, "Xander, at the end of the day, you two are husband and wife, so just end things nicely. After all, you're not the only man in the world who got cheated on, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."Xander said irritatedly, "Have you informed her about our divorce tomorrow?"Shawn took out his phone. "I'll inform her this instant. Don't worry; she can't run away as long as she's in North Florivera."While Abig
