Chapter 125 The Resentful Jonathan

Milly sighed. “Okay, I won’t let go.”

Finished

As she calmed down Michelle, who was shaking in her arms, Oliver’s loud shout came from the front, “Ms. Milly, come here! Let me protect you!”

Milly was speechless.

With that shaky voice, are you sure you’re protecting me?

“No need. I’m not scared. You don’t have to protect me.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Oliver firmly refused, “No way! I promised to protect you, and I will. Hurry up and come over here!”

Milly frowned. “But I…”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go; the entrance was narrow, and with Michelle in her arms and poor visibility, it was hard to move forward.

Before she could say more, Oliver jumped up, his pink hair standing on end. “M You have to come over and let me protect you! Quick, quick, quick!”

Milly didn’t know what to say.

What a troublemaker.

“Alright.”

Milly, come on! Hurry!

She reluctantly agreed. Looking down at the trembling Michelle, she spoke gently to her, “Michelle, do you want to stay behind me or follow closely?”

Michelle, unable to think clearly, responded automatically, “Follow you, I’ll follow you!”

“Okay, then let’s move forward. If you’re scared, just close your eyes. I’ll lead you

Michelle nodded vigorously, still clinging to her.

After a winding and tough path, they finally reached the front. As soon as Oliver saw her, he clung to her right arm like she was a safety charm, muttering, “Ms. Milly, I’m here to protect you.”

Milly was puzzled.

Seeing him clinging to her arm and hiding behind her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure you’re protecting me? Not the other way around?”

Oliver bared his teeth, his body betraying his bravado as he stubbornly replied, “I’m just making sure the ghosts don’t scare you by touching your arm. You don’t understand my good intentions.”

Milly couldn’t be bothered to entertain him

Well, I guess I should thank you!

So now, with Michelle clinging to her left side and Oliver hanging onto her right arm, Milly felt like she

Chapter 125 The Resentful Jonathan.

Meanwhile, in the live chat, Jonathan’s fans were flooding the screen with comments. ‘Haha, some people are really putting on a brave face. Not scared, huh? Really?”

‘Is Jonathan feeling embarrassed?”

They just went in and are already this scared. What’s going to happen when they start the tasks?”

“So cowardly, hiding behind a girl while claiming he’s not scared. How pretentious and disgusting!

Finished:

‘Excuse me, I’m just a casual viewer. What’s the name of the brave girl in the front? She seems really courageous.

‘Her? I think her name is Milly Burnett. She’s a newcomer, so I don’t really know her.

I think I’m starting to like her too

Jonathan’s fans seized this opportunity to attack Oliver. They criticised him relentlessly.

Surprisingly, Oliver’s usually fierce fans remained silent.

After all, they were embarrassed by their idol’s cowardly behaviour.

Since the haunted house was filmed using fixed cameras, there were no cameramen inside. The live chat screen was outside, so the participants were unaware of the comments.

Milly, focused on moving forward, didn’t realise she was gaining loyal fans.

As she passed Jonathan, she noticed something strange in his eyes… Is that… resentment?

Confusion flashed across her big eyes. Resentment? Why’s he resentful?

Am I ruining his heroic moment by walking ahead?

Milly hesitated and timidly asked, “Jonathan, do you want to walk in front?”

Maybe if I don’t compete with him to take the lead, he’ll feel better.

But her question only deepened Jonathan’s resentment. He huffed, turned away angrily, and snapped, “What’s it to you? I’ll walk in front or at the back if I want. Whether I live or die is none of your business!

“Take your precious darlings and stay away from me!”

Milly was stunned.

His words made her feel like a heartless villain abandoning her family.

Even Jonathan didn’t understand his anger. He told himself he only needed to protect Stephanie. Milly was too wicked to be his sister.

Yet, seeing Milly protect everyone but him made him uncomfortable.

Am I not her real brother? And here she is, protecting my rival in front of me! Ugh!

Finished

Milly was even more confused. She didn’t know why Jonathan was upset. They were fine moments ago.

The atmosphere grew even more awkward and strange….

Fortunately, an announcement over the speakers explained today’s haunted house challenge. Milly sighed in relief.

“Buzz… Hello players, today’s haunted house challenge is “The Disappearing Bride‘. The Shermons‘ eldest son, Mr. Sherman, married a young and beautiful bride. But on their wedding night, the bride mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only a red wedding shoe. Help the groom find the bride to win the game and escape successfully.”

With a loud bang, the door in front of them swung open.

“Ah!!!” Jonathan, who had been standing next to Milly, suddenly let go of Stephanie and jumped over. He clung to Milly’s arm which was holding Michelle, hugging it tightly.

Milly was startled.

It wasn’t the door or the spooky atmosphere that scared her. It was Jonathan’s scream.

Now, with three people hanging on her, moving forward was even harder.

Sighing deeply, she asked, “If you’re both scared, why did you choose this place?”
