Ye Xiaoxiao’s unease grew, and she instinctively looked at the cards. As soon as she saw the numbers on the card, her pupils suddenly constricted. On that card was strikingly the ace of spades. Who was the King and who was the Loser was crystal clear at a glance. Zhao Qianqian quickly reacted, "Ha, I forgot to say that the rules of this round have been changed; the card rankings have been reversed, so Miss Ye, with the smallest card, is actually the King, and Miss Ji, you’re the Loser." Yun Ya sneered, taken aback by this sudden reversal. Did she take them for blind fools? Fan Ying slammed the table and angrily said, "Do you think we’re monkeys to be played by you? Why didn’t you mention the change in rules before the game started? Now you speak up, the bias is too apparent." Zhao Qianqian’s face hung in embarrassment as she retorted, "I forgot, okay? It’s not too late to say it now." Fan Ying felt like slapping her right across the face, this despicable woman... Even a fool could see that this group had conspired to set Yun Ya up. Yun Ya smiled lightly. There wasn’t a trace of frustration on her; she looked as dignified and noble. Compared to Ye Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qianqian, her composure was leagues ahead. "I remember Elder Ye valuing integrity above all else, which is why Shenghua Group has become so successful. As Elder Ye’s own granddaughter, Miss Ye surely embodies her grandfather’s legacy and is the epitome of integrity," Yun Ya’s clear eyes turned towards Ye Xiaoxiao. Caught off guard, Ye Xiaoxiao wondered what Yun Ya was plotting by invoking her grandfather. Yun Ya’s lips curved into a faint smile, her gaze sharply turning towards Zhao Qianqian, "You failed to clarify the rule change before the game. Don’t you think it’s laughable to announce it after the fact? Even though it’s a game, we mustn’t lose our moral baseline. How did it now relate to one’s moral baseline? Yun Ya’s words cornered her—unless she retracted her previous statement, wouldn’t it be admitting her lack of integrity? Every sentence was a trap. Get full chapters from NovelHub(.)net Yun Ya stopped paying attention to her and turned to Ye Xiaoxiao, "We agreed to abide by the results of the game. Besides, with Old Master Ye’s reputation, I trust his granddaughter wouldn’t be someone who fails to honor a bet and flees when the going gets tough." Ye Xiaoxiao silently clenched her teeth. Reneging now would not only tarnish her grandfather’s name but also disgrace the Ye Family. With so many influential figures present, her father would be furious if word got out. She was literally caught between a rock and a hard place. "Yes, Elder Ye was a wise man. How could his granddaughter be a coward?" "Just now, Miss Ye emphasized several times about abiding by the bet. You wouldn’t be scared now, right? After all, it’s just two boxes, and there are no deadly snakes or beasts inside. What’s there to fear?" Ye Xiaoxiao’s face stiffened for a moment, dark as the bottom of a pan. Yun Ya’s lips curled into a smile, "Of course, Miss Ye doesn’t have to concede. But according to our agreement, running naked for a week—though I daresay, for a young lady of your age, it would be indecent and harm your reputation. So why not just take a lap in your underwear instead?" Ye Xiaoxiao’s face darkened further, and she glared at Yun Ya, "Who says I’m afraid?" She stood up straight and pointed to the two boxes, "Pick one." Li Nan discreetly tugged at Ye Xiaoxiao’s arm, but receiving a fierce glare in response, she pressed her lips together in silence, now only hoping Yun Ya would choose the lucky box. Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, her finger touching a box, and seeing the fleeting look of hope in Li Nan’s eyes, her thin lips cruelly twisted. Then she picked the other box instead, "Let’s go with this one." Li Nan turned ashen, swaying on her feet. Ye Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, ready to make a brave choice, and slowly reached out her hand. Just as her fingers were about to touch the box’s edge, Yun Ya suddenly changed her mind, "Let’s change to this one instead." "Yun Ya, what the hell are you doing?" Ye Xiaoxiao demanded, utterly frustrated. Yun Ya shrugged casually, "Suddenly felt this box seems better, no matter the surprise or danger, Miss Ye has to endure it." Catching Li Nan’s secretly clenched fist out of the corner of her eye, Yun Ya’s lip curled in disdain. Li Nan was clever, but still too naive to play mind games with her. Ye Xiaoxiao instinctively looked towards Li Nan and saw Fan Ying whispering something to her. Thinking that Li Nan had already tested Yun Ya, nothing should go wrong this time, and trusting that Li Nan wouldn’t harm her, Ye Xiaoxiao internally scoffed at Yun Ya’s self-assuredness and slowly put her hand into the box. It was too late for Li Nan to intervene, her eyes wide with horror. Yun Ya watched indifferently, her eyebrows raised slightly, yet her eyes were as cold and unfathomable as a deep, dark pool. The next moment, a blood-curdling scream suddenly pierced the air.
