The bedrooms had all been cleared up to accommodate the new guests. It was going to be a long night. After all, how could there be a gathering of young people without some fun and games?

“Cousin Ron... I don't know how to play cards or board games."

Vivian didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing, so she immediately gave an excuse.

“Don't worry, Vivian. I have another idea. Let's play Truth or Dare!" Ron announced gleefully, as if he was proud of himself for being smart enough to think of all the possibilities in advance.

"Well, it is a simple game. There's no one in the world who won't know how to play it," Boden pointed out with a slight smile playing at the edge of his lips.

Now that her two cousins of the Smith family were insisting, Vivian had no choice but to agree.

Maria tugged at Anthony's sleeve and whispered, “If you don't want to play, I can find an excuse for us to leave."

In her eyes, since the engagement between her and Anthony was just a pretense, she was already inconveniencing him enough by making him accompany her to the Smith family's estate.

Maria would understand if Anthony didn't want to waste his time further by playing silly games Like Truth or Dare with the Smiths.

"It doesn't matter. I'm fine with it."

Unexpectedly, Anthony seemed unbothered and was ready to cooperate, which instantly put Maria at ease.

Ron looked around and smiled. "You're all okay with it, right? Good! I'll explain the rules now."

He took out his phone and showed them an app that he always kept for occasions Like these: Truth or Dare XYZ Version!

“Download this and log in. After that, we can start our game. The rules are very simple. Each of us will draw a card on the app. The person who draws the card with the Largest number will be the punisher, while the person who draws the card with the smallest number will be punished. After the cards are revealed, an option for a truth and an option for a dare will both appear on the punisher's phone, while the person getting punished has to choose between them. The punisher can choose whether they want to give a hint to the person getting punished or not.” Undisguised eagerness Lit up Ron's face as he explained the rules. Once everyone had Logged into the app, as the host of the game, Ron clicked on the Start button.

A message appeared on everyone's screen.
