Audrey Sutton planned this script murder event not just for fun, but had secretly discussed and planned it with Phoebe King and Flora Lane.

The first plan was to matchmake Julian Bishop and Seraphina Vaughn.

Julian Bishop, who usually doesn’t participate in such activities, came because of Seraphina Vaughn.

After their last "reconciliation", nothing major had happened, but there wasn’t much progress either. They’ve just been lukewarm.

It was clear that Seraphina Vaughn had changed her view of Julian Bishop, but she wouldn’t let go of her pride, making Audrey Sutton and the others anxious.

Besides this pair, there were also Simon Sue and Barry Barrett, who had been the subject of rampant online rumors recently.

Everyone felt Simon Sue had an attitude ready to make their relationship official, yet Barry Barrett kept denying any relation with him.

One moment she’s denying it, the next she’s saying she’s going to watch Simon Sue’s concert rehearsal.

Once everyone arrived, they familiarized themselves with their roles, and the game for the night began.

The roles were distributed by Audrey Sutton and her group, who had meticulously arranged everything beforehand.

Julian Bishop’s role was that of an infatuated and deeply loving business owner towards Seraphina Vaughn.

Simon Sue and Barry Barrett’s roles were a lovey-dovey young couple.

Barry Barrett, who is usually very open in these role-play situations, blushed almost the entire time, pretending to be lively but dared not make eye contact with Simon Sue.

Simon Sue, on the other hand, gazed at Barry Barrett with deep emotion, playing his role perfectly.

Although Simon Sue is indeed an actor with excellent acting skills, the look in his eyes when gazing at Barry Barrett conveyed more than just acting.

After work, Shane Warner, having finished dealing with matters at home, arrived at the villa with Anna.

Lucian Quinn, having to watch the child, sat downstairs in the villa’s living room and did not participate in the game.

Of course, he himself was not interested in such activities either.

But since Flora Lane liked to play these games, he always made time to accompany her, watching over the child so she could play without worries.

Even Stephen Sutton, rare on a day off, was coaxed over by Phoebe King. The few dads sat in the living room, chatting about parenting matters one after another.

A little after eleven at night, police sirens blared past the roadside outside the villa.

Laura Yates, who had been worried about Franklin Sutton, secretly texted him midway through the game, asking, "Has it ended?"

Franklin Sutton soon replied, "Yes, we’ve caught the person."

Seeing this message, Laura Yates breathed a sigh of relief and still asked, somewhat persistently, "You didn’t get hurt, right?"

Franklin Sutton responded, "No, don’t worry. I’ll stop by the station and then come find you."

Laura Yates smiled at her phone screen. Knowing Franklin Sutton had completed his task, she finally felt at ease and could fully immerse herself in the game.

When the game ended, it was already dawn, and everyone had a late-night snack together before sleeping in the prearranged accommodations.

The rain had stopped at some point, and the morning sunlight streamed in through the bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

Audrey Sutton opened her eyes to check outside, stretched her legs comfortably, and glanced over to see Shane Warner still asleep. She smiled and nestled closer to him.

Usually, when she wakes up, Shane Warner has already left for work.

Rarely getting the chance to laze around in bed together, Audrey Sutton lay obediently in his arms, intending to see when he would wake up. Instead, she heard his deep voice from above her head, "Awake and still reluctant to leave my arms?"
