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
Sigrid and Elizabeth let out a sigh of relief. It was acceptable if they were only required to work for supper. "You guys will continue filming at half-past two. Everyone, please be prepared. Regarding the clues, you can find them from your previous exorcisms. The previous ghosts that you exorcised are all related to the story." Hearing that, Sigrid supposed that their group had to look for the little boy Noah or his mother Susan. After the break, Elizabeth and Sigrid headed back to look for them. Sigrid suggested, "When we were there just now, the second floor of the house was sealed off. Perhaps we can go and take a look at it." Elizabeth nodded in agreement. Then, retracing their steps, they both made their way back to Noah's house. "Are you tired? Holding the mirror for so such a long time?" Sigrid asked. Elizabeth had been carrying the mirror for so long. "It's fine." Sigrid took a careful glance at her. When they had had their supp
Seeing Lydia's hideous expression, Sigrid said to Elizabeth, "It must be tiring for her to stay like this for such a long time. Why don't we tear down the tape to let her change her posture?" "Hmm, sure," Elizabeth agreed, and promptly tore the tape off her. After Lydia changed her posture, Elizabeth stuck the tape back on her. Meanwhile, Elijah watched them in shock. He felt that they were just goofing around. Why were they being so considerate to the actress? After sizing up Lydia, Sigrid concluded, "I don't think she is acting as a ghost, in fact, she looks more like a zombie to me. Don't zombies usually freeze when they are being attacked too?" Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "It seems wherever we stick this tape, it would still work." Forced to listen to their discussion, Lydia was about to go nuts. "I don't wish to listen to you two anymore. I beg you to leave!" she cried inside her heart. "By the way," Sigrid continued, "According to the plot
Sigrid and Elizabeth left the house. Strolling down the streets, whenever they saw a house with a plate hanging at the gate, they guessed that there was probably a ghost waiting to be exorcized, or some clues waiting to be found. Therefore, they entered the houses with plates on the gate. In one of the houses, they found an elderly whose husband had gone missing. After locating her husband, they were both reunited and subsequently exorcized successfully. Just like that, the points for supper on the next filming day had been secured! When they arrived at the church, the actor who had been guarding the door previously was nowhere to be seen. After the two entered the church, they went separate ways to search for rosaries in the church. The church, albeit rather shabby, was still a sacred ground. It was very likely that the filming crew had told the ghosts that they were not allowed to enter. Even the ghost who had opened the door for them earlier had never ente
The two of them froze in the act. Just as George was about to tell the person to leave the food at the door, Sigrid's stomach grumbled loudly through the silence. George raised his eyebrows at that. He asked, "Hungry?" Replying with an awkward smile, Sigrid said, "I had supper at one o'clock." The filming had ended at six o'clock. Since the filming location had some distance away from their room, it was already half-past six at that moment. She hadn't eaten anything for the past five and a half hours. It was no surprise that her stomach would grumble. George rose to his feet. After putting on his clothes, he went to open the door. After bringing in the breakfast, he closed the door without letting anyone in. Since Sigrid was only clad in her underwear, she hastily threw on her clothes before digging into her breakfast. After breakfast, she laid on the bed to rest. Meanwhile, George held her feet as he massaged her soles. He felt distressed to
The first few photos in the album were pictures of a family. Later, another woman appeared in the photos, and she was likely someone who had married into the family. After the death of her husband and his parents, she was left alone in the photo. The next photo was with another man. However, she appeared to be rather old in the picture. On the contrary, the man looked like he was only in his twenties! Sigrid felt that there was something fishy about the appearance of the young man in the woman's life. After all, he seemed to be romantically involved with this significantly older woman! Although it was true that love knew no bounds, they were discussing a storyline set by the crew! There was definitely something fishy about the man! Immersed in deep thought, her brows furrowed together without her realizing. She mused, "It must have something to do with this man, but there is no mention of this man's identity. How can we find him?" "Let's take a look inside," suggeste
"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
