Rachel then continued, "This will actually benefit both Elizabeth and me. However, you won't really get anything out of this. After all, you are married to George; you don't really lack anything. But according to the production team, the ghosts in this show are quite realistic!" Sigrid replied, "Fret not, for my beauty will repel all ghosts that come to harm you!" "Really?" Rachel was skeptical. "Yes!" Sigrid was guffawing in her bed. "Then will you come?" asked Rachel. "How many days will I have to be there? What if I perform poorly? Will I be scolded?" Sigrid couldn't help bombarding a series of questions at Rachel. "Probably not. However, because you and Elizabeth look alike, others might be envious of how much you look like Elizabeth. If you consider the filming duration for an entire episode plus the time it takes to get there, it should take roughly three days," Rachel explained truthfully. After moments of hesitation, Sigrid finally ag
"I heard that this can ward off spirits. I don't know if it's true. Anyway, you should also bring some with you. It won't be good if there really are some spirits during the filming. Before the show starts, will the crew do a body search?" Rachel thought for a while and said, "I think they most likely would." Sigrid scratched her head. She decided to hide them in the places untouchable during a body search. After all, she had prepared special clothing just for that purpose. There, for the next ten minutes, Rachel watched as Sigrid hid all of her 'gears'. Rachel was utterly dumbfounded. After Sigrid stuffed the things in her pants, she finally laid on the bed to take a nap. At that moment, the melatonin finally kicked in. Drowsiness engulfed her and she immediately fell asleep. They had slept until five in the afternoon. Then, the staff member knocked on the door, informing them that they would have to gather at half-past five. Hence, it was
After the two finished their meals, Martin took a looked at the time and said, "Okay, let's begin." They all came to the filming spot and the assistant took out a small box, saying, "You all have to draw cards to be grouped." Although Sigrid already knew who she was going to be grouped with, she was aware that they had to design a fake drawing system to group them up in order to make the show more realistic. So, how were they going to draw the cards? If the draw was different from the expected one, were they going to start filming all over again? While Sigrid was still puzzling over that, it was her turn to draw from the box. She reached her hand into the box and found that there was only one piece of paper inside. When she took it out, it was revealed that she was in the third group. Elizabeth was also in the third group. It seemed like they had prepared all of that in advance. There must be some mechanism in the box that only allowed one card to b
Elizabeth wanted to bring her long-lost assistant back and kick him in the nuts! "This is my son." Agnes pointed to the daguerreotype. Then, she wiped her tears as she wept, "My boy, you'd died a miserable death! I have finally found you a wife. If you like her, show yourself!" Sigrid and Elizabeth were both at a loss for words. Just a few moments after Agnes spoke, all the lights in the room dimmed. Following that, a gust of chill air breezed through the room. Sigrid shivered. She leaned towards Elizabeth but realized that there was no one beside her! Sigrid was so frightened that she was about to burst out crying. Had she really encountered a ghost? Perhaps the ghost had caused her to hallucinate! While she was still trembling in fear, Agnes's voice echoed in the room, "From today onwards, you are my son's wife. Sign this certificate and your marriage will be sealed right away!" At that moment, a tiny lightbulb lit up. Under the cast of its
She took out her phone. It was a text from Rachel. Rachel had texted, saying, "Quick go and find the church! Firstly, you must first find the prop mentioned by Martin, then go to the church to consecrate it, then the prop will turn into an exorcising weapon! Fight for your supper!" Sigrid's eyes widened immediately. "Let's go to the church! Rachel said that as long as we consecrate the prop there it can exorcist spirits!" Elijah the cameraman whispered under his breath, "Ridiculous! You're not allowed to communicate with each other!" Elizabeth scowled, "I don't think we came across any church on our way here. This town is huge. I think it would take us some time before we can find that church." "Then I'll have Rachel send me their current location. She should be nearby," Sigrid hurriedly sent a message to Rachel. "That's plain cheating!" screamed Elijah internally. Sigrid sent Rachel a text, asking, "Where is the church? Send me the location
Sigrid covered her ears, pretending that she had not heard Elijah's words. Then, she and Elizabeth entered the closest house to search for a bathroom. "Help me guard the door. I don't want any ghosts to wipe my a*s..." Sigrid said to Elizabeth before going in. Elizabeth was at a loss for words. She thought to herself, "If anyone were to wipe your a*s, I'm afraid George would dig up their graves when this show is aired." Sigrid felt relieved when she came out of the bathroom. Then Elizabeth went in, and it was Sigrid's turn to stand guard outside. After Elizabeth came out, she looked at Elijah curiously. "Do we need to guard the door for you?" "Yes, please." Elijah put down his camera and went to the bathroom. They would just cut off that scene. After all, not every single scene had to be used. Sigrid checked the time. It was almost half-past ten, which meant that it had been four and a half hours since their last meal. Although they had a lo
Sigrid spotted the family tree on the shelf. She took it down and studied it carefully. They scoured through another photobook until they finally saw Noah on it. Above Noah were the portraits of both of his parents. Comparing the picture that Noah had just given them, they concluded that she was indeed his biological mother. Suddenly, Sigrid's eyes lit up. "Look here! The first name of his mother and the whereabouts of her house are also stated here. The address shows that she's in this village. Hence, if we can find this address, we will most likely meet the person acting as his mother!" Elizabeth nodded, and then they sprinted out of the house. The two of them ran along the streets in search of the house of Noah's mother. After arriving at the White family, they found that there was a house plate hanging at the entrance. It stood in stark contrast to the other houses, for the other houses had no house plates nor fancy decorations hanging at their gates. At t
Arriving at the food stall for supper, they saw a woman wearing a skeleton mask there. She was busy preparing all kinds of food. The tables set up beside the stall were almost fully occupied. Apart from the program's guests, everyone else had terrifying makeup on. There are still many empty seats, but Sigrid and Elizabeth still chose to sit at the same table as Cyrus and Rachel. Rachel explained to them, "The actors and crew can eat for free. However, we need to trade-in our points for a meal. Take the tool you found to the machine over there to exchange for points, only then you can order something to eat." The two of them followed Rachel's directions. Hurrying to the machine with the mirror, they successfully redeemed a point before they rushed to order some food. As Sigrid was starving, she ordered a huge portion of food. At that moment, it didn't matter to her how it tasted. As long as it filled her stomach, she would be satisfied. The two of them or
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
