Chapter 466 Getting Warmer
Lana’s words silenced Zane. The others froze as well. Lucy, who had been quiet throughout the ordeal,
nched and asked, “If you’re not an NPC, then what are you?”
Lana giggled as she shook her head and said, “Didn’t I hospital? I work here as a nurse,
ay this was ou obviously.”
No sooner than the words leave Lana’s mouth did the power in the building grow unstable.
Lana pointed out in a singsong voice, “Heads up, yers! You have two minutes left to ask your
questions before you’re all eliminated!”
Zane s
stammered nervously, “W- What’s going on here? Oliver?”
“Beats me,” Oliver said, pressing his “help” button incessantly. Unfortunately, he received no response.
The only ones in the room who hadn’t flown into a panic were Tobias and Wynter.
Aimee looked terrified as she grabbed Tobias” hand and pleaded, “Come on, Kina, get your partner to
spill the clue so we can all figure out the case together.”
Aimee might have been quiet when everyone else was singling out Tobias, but he wouldn’t forget that
his first audition had only been possible because of her. As such, he nced at Wynter meaningfully.
Without objection, Wynter handed him the card Lana had given her.
Lana narrowed her eyes at this and warned, “yer number five, are you sure you want to do that?
Gaving out the clue could mean watering down your score.”
“Grown–ups know better than to fight over a game score or two,” Wynter quipped.
Lana furned. This was not going ording to her ns, but she couldn’t break the rules now.
She mentally cursed Wynter for being so unpredictable. Adults were selfish and only looked out for
themselves, so why wasn’t Wynter like that?
Meanwhile, the others pored over the line on the card that read, “Everyone loves Mommy!”

Zane was no schr despite his fancy degree from some university abroad, so he had no hope of
deciphering the clue at hand.
“What does it mean?” he asked aloud.
“Maybe the woman in the story was popr, and the person who stole her baby was one of her many
admirers,” Cecilia guessed, going in the direction of one–sided love.
It made sense for a man who was vying for a woman’s attention to go to such drastic lengths.
Oliver seconded this thought. When he saw that time was running out, he quickly said to Lana, “The
woman’s baby was stolen by one of her admirers!”
“Nope,” Lana sang, her eyes gleaming with twisted excitement. “Onest question!”
Chapter 3166 Ooting Warmers
Zane couldn’t care less about sucking up to Oliver anymore. He grabbed thetter by his cor and
snapped, “You keep asking the wrong questions! Are you trying to throw us under the bus too?”
“…”
Oliver was shaking. He couldn’t understand why things were getting so out of hand.
Lana looked gleeful. “If you can’t think of any more questions, then I’ll start eliminating…”
“The woman in the story was a celebrity, right?” Wynter suddenly cut her off.
Exasperated, Zane cried, “Who the hell said you could ask questions?”
He had never heard anything more ridiculous. How could the woman in the story be a celebrity?
But much to everyone’s surprise, Lana said slowly, “That’s right.” She didn’t like Wynter very much, but
the game rules kept her fromshing out.
She said through gritted teeth, “yer number five has unlocked an important clue. Everyone gets half
an hour extra for the game. yer number five, proceed with your questions.”
Zane’s jaw dropped. He couldn’t believe that Wynter had got it right.
“Gosh… I feel bad for Zane,” someone in thements mocked.
“Number five is unbelievable! But don’t you guys think the story’s a little absurd? Why would a celebrity
be
involved in it? someone else asked.
Just as everyone was baffled, Wynter continued asking. “The woman didn’t want anyone to find out
that
she aborted her child, so she bribed a doctor into keeping the procedure a secret. Am I right?”
Lana answered in a low, grave voice, “Yes.”
The single word seemed to coalesce in the air,
