Chapter 218
“Don’t you know this game? It’s super easy!” Daphne stood up and exined to Annalise, “We all form
a circle. You say ‘I love you’ to the person on your left and ‘shameless’ to the person on your right. You
cannot say more than three sentences consecutively between two people. If someone messes up, they
have to drink!”
“I’m still confused…” Annalise pointed at Daphne, “Can you show me how it’s done?”
Daphne gave Annalise a helpless look, and turned to the person on her left, “I love you!”
However, she had forgotten that Lionel was the one sitting on her left.
The room was dimly lit, and Lionel’s eyes were sparkling under the light. He smiled at Daphne, who
was standing on his right, “I love you too.”
The expressions in the room instantly becameplicated.
Daphne’s face turned red. She angrily told Lionel, “Wrong! You should have said ‘shameless’!”
Lionel seemed to enjoy seeing Daphne angry. He nodded obediently, “You’re shameless.”
“Not ‘you’re shameless’, just ‘shameless’! Just say it like that!” Daphne wondered if Lionel was
genuinely clueless or if he was messing with her. She preferred to believe that Lionel was just being
silly.
Finally, Lionel cooperated and said to Daphne, “Shameless.”
Daphne turned to Julie sitting next to her, “Shameless.”
Julie nodded, “Sure, I was indeed shameless back in school.”
“Julie, can’t you just y along?” Daphne red at Julie.
Julie looked at Daphne with a smile, “I love you.”
Daphne didn’t have the courage to turn to Lionel and say ‘I love you’ again, so she turned to Julie again
and said, “Shameless.”
Then she exined to Annalise, “Because Julie and I have already exchanged three sentences, Julie
now has to turn to Kieran and say ‘I love you’. Do you get it
now?”
“Oh!” Annalise suddenly understood. She pped the table like Adeline usually does, “I got it! Let’s get
this party started!”
“Are we
going with the current seating arrangement?” Dn asked.
“This seating is perfect. My wife loves me, Kieran immediately replied.
“Disgusting!” Dn looked at Kieran coldly.
The current seating arrangement indeed seemed interesting. Dn suggested, “How about we do a
trial run? Starting from Mr. Watson, okay?”
Marlon turned to Lionel on his right, ‘Shameless.”
Lionel raised an eyebrow at Marlon, ‘I love you”
Marlon nced at Harding on his left, but decided to turn to Lionel again, “Shameless!”
Lionel turned to Daphne with a bigugh, “Shameless.”
Daphne turned to Julie on her right, “Shameless.”
Julie turned to Kieran, “Shameless.”

Kieran, “I love you.”
Julie, “Shameless!”
Kieran, “I love you.”
Dn eximed, “Are you two messing around? You guys have already exchanged more than three
sentences! Bottoms up! Kieran, you keep telling her ‘I love you’ tonight! I don’t believe you two won’t
get wasted!”
Dn handed two drinks to Julie and Kieran, “I propose they toast each other. Any objections?”
Everyone unanimously said, “No objections.”
Kieran looked at Julie helplessly, “Darling, are you going to toast with me?”
“Or should I give you my drink, and you can toast yourself?” Julie raised her eyebrows, a naughty smile
on her face.
Kieran’s lips curled up in a smile. He leaned in and whispered, “What was that surprise you promised
mest night?”
Julie smiled slightly, clinked her ss against Kieran’s, and downed her drink in one go.
Round two.
Dn turned to Adeline on his left, “I love you.”
Adeline, who had Elliot on her left, looked into Elliot’s eyes and said with a smile, “I love you.”
This ‘I love you’ didn’t sound like it was part of the game, but rather like a confession that had been
suppressed for years. This left Elliot stunned. He knew that even if he called Adeline ‘shameless’ now,
it would just be part of the game, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He turned to Annalise
on his left and said, “I love you.”
Annalise, without a second thought, turned to the person on her left and quickly said ‘I love you’,
because she clearly remembered that Hayden was on her left. But at some point, the person on her left
had quietly be Payne. Annalise’s cheerful mood instantly dropped.
Payne, on the other hand, was thrilled since Julien was on his left.
He grinned and loudly said to Julien, “I love you!!”
Julien didn’t want to engage with Payne, so she tumed to the person on her left and said, “…am
shameless!”
Julien originally wanted to say “I love you,” but suddenly realized that the person on her left was
Hayden.
Everyone in the room burst intoughter.
Hayden calmly handed a ss of red wine to Julien and looked down at her arrogantly. Under the dim
light, his eyes seemed to have a special prating power.
Julien knew very well, this man was getting back at her!
She picked up the ss, downed the wine in one go, then shot Hayden a re.
“I don’t mind that you love me.” He whispered in her ear.
Hayden’s voice was very soft. He thought only he and Julien could hear what he said, but Payne, who
had excellent hearing, heard it loud and clear. So, he also said to Julien shyly, “Julien, I don’t mind you
calling me shameless either, but why would you call yourself shameless?”
“Next round, next round!” Dn turned to Harding on his right, “Shameless.”
Harding turned to Marlon, “Shameless.”
Marlon said to Lionel, “Shameless.”
Lionel turned around and said to Marlon, “I love you.”
The game was picking up pace. Marlon, following the rules, turned to Harding on his left and said, “I
love you!”
Harding was taken aback. After about a second, Marlon poked his waist lightly, and Harding snapped
back to reality. He looked at Marlon and said in a daze, “I love… shameless…”
“Ha!” Daphne couldn’t help but burst outughing, “You love shameless? What does that mean?”
Everyone else tried to stifle theirughter.
Harding red at Daphne and said to Marlon, “I support you taking her to a hotel room. Otherwise,
she’ll never learn her lesson!”
With that, he gazed on Daphne, picked up his ss, and downed it in one go. Daphne was left
speechless, remembering how close she came to being dragged into a hotel by Mr. Watsonst time.
She didn’t dare say anything this time…
I
Lionel pointed at Marlon and Harding and asked, “Are you two actually having an affair?”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I’m so handsome and witty, how could I ever like a tailor like him?”
“That’s a surgeon!” Dn, as a forensic expert, couldn’t help but defend Dr. Ladd. How dare Mr.
Watson call a surgeon a tailor?
Marlon waved his hand and said, “I think this rule is too simple, it’s not interesting. How about we
change it to this: everyone must say one good thing about the person on their left, or one bad thing
about the person on their right. If you can’te up with anything, you have to drink. And you can’t
repeat what’s been said.
“Interesting! But the first three people in each round can’t quit voluntarily. If you want to quit, either you
have to kiss the person on your left, or let the person on your right kiss you. That’s challenging enough,
right?” Dn seemed to have a lot of bad ideas. He looked at Adeline and said, “Also, madam, please
change all the wine here to liquor! Wine is not enough!”
Adeline ordered the waiter to rece the wine with liquor.
Payne looked excited. He raised his hand and said, “I’ll go first!”
He wanted topliment Julien, so he immediately turned to Julien on his left and said, “You’re
beautiful.”
“You’re ugly,” Julien retorted.
“You’re very honest,” Payne admitted, looking hurt.
Since they had already exchanged three sentences, Julien had to turn to Hayden topliment him.
Hayden seemed to enjoy it, as if he was waiting for Julien topliment him. The first three people in
each round can’t quit voluntarily, or she’d have to either kiss Hayden or let Payne kiss her. Clearly,
neither option appealed
to her.
Payne said excitedly, “Julien, quit! Let me kiss you!”
In the end, Julien turned to Hayden and said, “You’re handsome.”
Hayden agreed. He said to Julien, “You don’t love me. That’s a w that needs to be corrected.”
Although Hayden said this, she had to continueplimenting him, “You’re tall!”
Hayden couldn’t tease her anymore. He turned to Kieran and said, “You’re trustworthy.”
Kieran turned his head and looked at Julie, saying, “You’re delicious.”
If Kieran wasn’t so strong, Julie would have kicked him into outer space. In the end, she responded,
“You’re full of yourself!”
“You’re beautiful, and you’re always right.”
Julie was speechless.
Everyone thought that probably only Julie would dare to talk to Mr. Hernandez like this.
Julie turned her head to Daphne and said, “Daphne, you’re a good friend.”
Daphne responded to Julie, “You’re always a brown-noser.”
Julieughed, “Daphne, you’ve always taken good care of me.”
Julie’s sincerity touched Daphne. Now it was her turn topliment Lord Lion. The usually sharp-
tongued Daphne turned her head and found Lionel’s face almost ash’s length away from her own.
So, she forgot everything she had prepared to say. The only thing left in Daphne’s brain was, “Great in
bed!”
Luckily, Daphne had enough sense not to say that out loud.
She boldly reached for the drink in front of Lionel, ready to down it. At this moment, Julien, sitting
across from her, suddenly frowned and said, “Can pregnant women drink?”
