Oliver clung to her right arm, eyes shut tight and body trembling, but still defiant. “I’m willing to forgo my fear if that means Jonathan will be terrified!” 

Jonathan, holding her left arm, equally terrified, echoed, “Me too!” 

Milly sighed internally. Why are they doing this to themselves? 

They’re cutting off their nose to spite their face. 

The audience watching the live stream burst into uncontrollable laughter, flooding the screen with ‘haha‘ 

comments. 

Jonathan’s fans, who had been mocking Oliver, now fell silent. 

Alright… It seems our idol is just as scared, so none of us really have the right to criticise. 

Both sides tacitly avoided the subject, swiftly shifting the conversation to the bravest person on screen. Milly. 

Wow, I have to say, this Milly is really courageous and calm. 

‘Hahaha, did you see Stephanie’s expression just now? It was hilarious. She tried to cling to Jonathan, but he was so scared he shook her off without a second thought. 

“Exactly! She claims to be Jonathan’s most beloved sister, but if that were true, would he abandon her so decisively?‘ 

‘She’s just riding his coattails. In comparison, it seems Milly and Jonathan get along better. 

Haha! This scene is too funny. It’s like Milly is the stem with three scaredy–cats clinging to her like flowers, haha. 

I think I’m starting to become a fan of Milly.. 

‘Same here! She’s beautiful, wise, and doesn’t try to hog the spotlight. She’s modest and steady. What’s not 

to love?” 

I just looked her up and she hasn’t even opened a Twitter account yet. With that face, not having Twitter is such a waste of potential! 

‘Please, Milly, open a Twitter account, I want to be your first fan!” 

Milly had no idea she was gaining popularity. She was focused on finding clues. 

bit? I need 

Taking a deep breath, she addressed the three scaredy–cats clinging to her, “Can you let go for a bit? to find clues. The sooner we get through this, the sooner we can leave.” 

Nevertheless, none of them loosened their grip. 

Instead, they held on tighter, fearing she would run away if they let go. 

She tried to shake them off, but they held on with all their strength, making it impossible for her to move.

Sighing in resignation, she looked back, hoping Neal might help, but he and Stephanie were also cowering in a corner, too scared to even open their eyes. 

Alright, guess it’s up to me. 

“How about we all go look for clues together?” Milly suggested. 

The three scaredy–cats nodded reluctantly. 

The room was small, decorated like an ancient bridal chamber. It must have been the place where the bride initially disappeared, making it likely to hold the most clues. 

She checked the nearest vanity but found nothing suspicious. 

As she tried to move to another spot, the three clinging to her blocked her way. She couldn’t take a single 

step. 

“Can you let go for a moment? I need to look around. If you’re scared, just stay here. I’ll come back for your once I find some clues, okay?” 

The three showed no sign of loosening their grip. 

Seeing how genuinely terrified they were, Milly didn’t dare force them off, fearing it might make them panic more. She resigned herself to being stuck. 

Even the staff seemed to have had enough of their hesitation. A voice over the loudspeaker provided a hint. 

“Attention players. This room has a time limit of thirty minutes. If you do not find a way out within that time, the room will permanently close. By the way, ten minutes have already passed.” 

Milly seized the opportunity, as if it was her lifesaver. “Ten minutes are gone already. If we don’t find the clues soon, we’ll be trapped here forever. You don’t want to stay here for the rest of your lives, right?” 

Normally, they wouldn’t believe such a threat, ‘knowing it was just a game. They were confident the staff wouldn’t hold them here forever. 

But now, half–scared to death, they weren’t thinking straight and believed her. They quickly let go. 

Before releasing her, Michelle insisted, “You have to come back for me. I’ll wait here.” 

Oliver added, “Yeah. If you don’t come back, I’ll label you as heartless!” 

Jonathan nodded. “That’s right!” 

Speechless, Milly glanced around the tiny room. They could touch each other just by turning around, yet they were acting as if she was leaving them forever. 

“Okay, I will.” 

Once they agreed, they slowly let go. As soon as they did, Milly exhaled deeply, feeling as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders 

She quickly searched the rest of the room.

Chapter 126 Three Cowards 

In the bed, she found a hidden compartment containing a dagger. 

#Finished 

A simple dagger, hidden away–why? Who hid it? The bride? If it really was her, how would she know about the compartment? If it was the groom, why would he need to hide it? 

At that moment, Neal, trying to maintain his image despite his fear, shakily searched for clues too. 

Suddenly, he spotted something. “Look, there’s writing on the wall” 

Milly went over. Indeed, there were a few large, crooked characters written with a brush. ‘I miss you after nightfall, upon the flowing water and distance mountains. 

Neal, eager to impress Stephanie, spoke up first, “Stephanie, you’re a top student at Crestwood High. Can you figure out what this phrase means?” 

Stephanie’s mood, which was down earlier because of Jonathan’s abandonment, lifted a bit at the praise. She smiled as she regained her sense of importance. 

“These characters must have been written by the bride. ‘I miss you after nightfall, upon the flowing water and distance mountains. It means the bride disappeared in the late night, like water flowing far from the mountains. 

She gathered her courage and looked around, analysing. “There should be clues about the late night. around here. Let’s search.” 

Neal, pleased with her deduction, flattered her, “Stephanie, you’re so smart. No wonder you’re a top student at Crestwood High. You figured it out immediately. Let’s look for clues together.”
