Novel & Cerita Guess The Price Game

“Do you like any of them? I can buy it for you.” That took Wendy aback. Then, she raised an eyebrow. “As a reward for me standing up for you?” “If you consider this standing up for me, so be it,” I said, feeling a little speechless. Wendy laughed, and it made her look much more alive. Honestly, she was only twenty-eight years old, but her achievements often made people forget about her age. “This one, then.” She pointed at a pair of pearl earrings next to the ruby ring.

If I found who was tailing us, I could offer him money to let us be then I would get back to the hotel faster and spend the rest of my day in peace. Seeing another thing she liked, she rushed over to the stall with different game challenges and prizes to be won. “How can I help?” the man asks, staring at the excited Bailey who was acting like a spoilt child. “How much to play the dart game?” she asks. “Three euros for a set of five darts.” She brings out her cash and hands it to the man without waiting for him to give her the full instructions. The man chuckled, continuing. “If you can make the board with four of your darts then you get to pick a prize.”

Leaving the bar with a wicked smile on my face, I headed home to prepare for the call. Scarlett’s POV I've been going all over town, asking anyone and everyone for help. But it seems like all my efforts have been in vain. I can't believe how hard it is to come up with the money I need for my sister's surgery. I've gone to every bank and lending institution in the area, but none of them are willing to loan me the amount I need. I even tried to sell some of my own belongings, but everything I own is worth so little that it wouldn't make much of a difference.

"Um- I don't know?" "You're joking, right?" A mischievous glint appeared in Dominic's eyes. "Let's play a game" "Okay? What's it called?" "It's called 'the guessing game" "I suck at guessing" Adelynn pouted and he smirked. "I think we're even because I suck at guessing too. We're both going to ask each other, questions about ourselves. Whoever guesses right for most of the time, gets a prize" "Really?" Adelynn asked, her eyes lighting up.

She pressed play and my world shattered. Anna’s voice was clear and sharp. “Let’s cut to the chase. What’s the offer?” A pause. Then Luciana’s measured voice. “We only want what’s best for everyone.” Anna scoffed. “Please. Just tell me the number.” Mother’s voice was clipped. “Ten million dollars.” Anna laughed. But the recording skipped slightly, and when her voice returned, it was cold. “That’s pocket change, I want more.” Another pause. Then Anna’s voice again, lower, deliberate.

I glanced down at my hands and legs, eyes widening in disbelief. "Lucy," Vanessa Parker's voice chimed in, sending a shiver down my spine. "Graduation's around the corner. I need to find a place for my internship, and this real estate agency is offering a 150-dollar discount if I get enough likes on their post. I'm just one short—help me out, will you?" Her tone was polite, almost pleading, but the sound of it made my skin crawl. I turned to face her, her smile seemingly sincere, but a flicker of hatred crossed my mind.

Then, I said, "I really am his mother! Shawn said he picked this bracelet out with his girlfriend as a gift for me. You must have seen it, right?" I held up the golden bracelet to show Celine. She didn't react, so I picked up my phone from the floor and opened WhatsApp. "This is our family chat group," I said, pointing at the screen. The last message was sent the previous night, and it showed a voice message from Shawn. "Hey, Mom. You're the cutest mom in the world. I had a special hair dye mixed just for you, and it's totally safe for you to use. Didn't you say you wanted to color your hair pink? I'll come over and dye it for you."

"I hope everyone will support Ms. Celeste's Ashen Mythos auction tomorrow. "Celeste, I hope this can make up for something…" Hearing those words through the screen, I sat in silence, my thoughts a tangled storm. The official site showed the game's price was climbing fast—higher than it had ever been before.

Amy giggled when Lynan shot her a mock wounded look of betrayal and there was a general round of chuckles from the contestants. “Well, no doubt you are all keen to learn a little more about today’s theme! For the first part, we will partake in a hike up the small hillside out the back of the mansion. After that, there will be a little contest but you’ll have to wait and see what it is!” More than one groan greeted the mention of a hill hike but Lynan was bouncing on the balls of his feet by this point. A run was just what he needed to clear his head and get his enthusiasm back.
