Chapter 562


    The men finished off the ten rounds in the blink of an eye without pauses in between. In the end, Bryan


    was badly defeated, and he sat limply on the lounge chair in disbelief as he sighed. "How did this


    happen?"


    Having lost to Hanson, there was no way he could avoid punishment now. He shot Vania a pleading


    look. "Hey, Vania. So, what game should we y next?" The desperate gleam in his eyes was


    practically screaming, Please say you have the next game lined up so I won''t have to be punished!


    Hanson was thoroughly amused as he went up to Bryan, disregarding the poor man''s will, and pulled


    him back by the cor. Keep your distance from my wife. With a raised brow, he curled and uncurled


    his fingers menacingly as he drawled, "I seem to recall someone having quite the nerve when the


    challenge was issued just now. Are you going to chicken out now that you''ve lost?"


    Bryan winced and started whining pathetically, "Please let me off the hook, Hanson." He could end up


    bed-ridden if Hanson really were to proceed with the "massage". There were not many situations that


    are more horrifying than that consequence.


    "Don''t try to bargain with me," Hanson said. He had no ns on letting Bryan go free regardless of


    what the man might say.


    A chill went down Bryan''s spine, and he quickly shot Vania a piteous look as he said, "Vania, say


    something."

    Vania sighed good-naturedly. This poor, unfortunate child. As a show of generosity and kindness, she


    cleared her throat and said to Hanson, "Darling, don''t you think he''s too sweet to suffer such a


    miserable fate? How about you let him go this time and save the punishment for his next mistake,


    hmm?"


    Just as everyone thought Hanson might reject the idea, he nodded, much to everyone''s surprise, and


    replied, "Anything you say, darling."


    Everyone gaped at him in stunned silence. She''s got him wrapped around her pinky!


    Upon hearing that he was spared, Bryan cried, "Vania, you''re an angel!"


    This earned him yet another dark re from Hanson, who was already making up his mind to teach


    him a lesson someday where no one could see them.


    When April saw how Bryan wasughing aloud in relief, he couldn''t help saying another quick prayer


    for him. Where essence was the same despite changing appearances, he knew that Hanson would not


    let Bryan get off the hook so easily.


    While everyone was jesting around, Yvonne was isted in her own sulking. She was unhappy with


    how things had turned out and immediately said, "Let''s go back to the hall."


    She had invited her friends over as well, but seeing as none of them knew how to shoot, they had been


    hanging out in the hall having drinks and ying games.


    "Okay. Let''s sing karaoke," Bryan agreed brightly, clearly in high spirits.


    On the way back, Yvonne put on a smile, refusing to return to the parlor with a grim and defeated


    expression.


    They were greeted by the shing neon lights and the sound of clinking sses and raucousughter


    the moment they stepped into the hall. There was a band on stage performing renditions of popr


    songs, and in the open dining space, all the tables were packed with friends and family chattering to


    one another animatedly.


    Upon registering Yvonne''s return, Jane raised her arm and waved her over, yelling over the music,


    "Hey, Yvonne! Come here and y with us!"


    As Yvonne heard that, her eyes immediately lit up. "Sure. What game are we ying?"


    Her friends at the table started to speak all at once. "Drink or Dare, of course! It''s a ssic party game!"


    It was, indeed, a favorite during parties. A spinner would be ced at the center of the table, and


    whoever the needle pointed to would have toplete a challenge, which was known as a dare.


    Should the person notplete it or refuse to carry it out, then he or she would be made to drink.


    The rules were straightforward and the game was practically dated, but everyone loved it because


    something unexpected happened every single time.


    When Yvonne heard this, she cheered up considerably and said, "Okay, we''re in!"


    She wanted to take this chance to humiliate Vania in front of everybody. Surely, her infuriating luck on


    the shooting range would notst through the rest of the day.


    As they each took their seat at the table, Jane deliberately took a seat next to Bryan.
