Chapter 3295 Temporary Suspension

As Silas was closest to the button, he didn’t know what to do. Looking at Tod and Megan hesitantly, he saw the conflicted expressions on both their faces.

Hence, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do I push it?”

Furrowing his eyebrows, Tod didn’t like thinking too much as he had the temperament of a brute. Just when Mia was about to pass through the door, he decisively pressed the button to close it down.

“No!” Mia’s eyes were filled with panic as she desperately reached for the door. However, she had neither the strength nor speed to do so and could only watch as it slammed shut right in her face.

“Mia is out!”

When the system broadcasted the latest update, the three of them exchanged glances. Both Megan and Silas were puzzled at what just happened.

Tod and Mia are obviously teammates. So why do they seem to be in conflict with each other?

“What’s wrong? Did something happen between both of you?” Silas couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Furrowing his eyebrows and grabbing his own hair in exasperation, Tod complained, “That woman is spoilt to the extreme. When we were supposed to cross a shallow man-made river earlier, she insisted I carry her on my back simply because she didn’t want to get her shoes wet.”

“Also, she kept speaking to me in such an annoying tone. ‘Tod, slow down. I’m afraid of the dark.’ ‘Tod, I’m a lady, it’s normal to take a break after every few steps.’ Do you know that I was on the brink of beating her to death if I hear another word from her?”

When both of them heard how Tod mimicked Mia’s way of speech, they couldn’t help but burst into a fit of laughter.

“How can you still laugh?”

When they realized how upset Tod was, Megan and Silas covered their mouths to keep their laughter down. However, their eyes squinted in glee instead.

“Huh, she really is famous for having a princess-like attitude. You should be pampering her instead!” Silas teased Tod cheekily while mocking Mia at the same time.

Having heard his words, Megan nodded in agreement and was delighted.

Mia had always liked to charm men with her damsel-in-distress voice. However, it didn’t work this time on someone as masculine as Tod.

When Megan recalled how smug Mia was when she talked about her looks, she figured this would be the first blow to Mia’s charm.

“Alright now. She has been eliminated anyway. So let’s quickly solve the puzzle.”

As Silas patted Tod on his shoulder to comfort him, the amusement he felt didn’t dissipate one bit. As for Megan, she followed them from behind in a jovial mood.

At that moment, the system announced, “The competition will now be temporarily suspended. Everyone, please gather at the entrance.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

As the announcement didn’t state the reason, the three of them exchanged glances and inexplicably had the same premonition.

Fill with curiosity, they arrived at the exit to find Bruce and the others already waiting there.

As everyone looked at each other scratching their heads, Megan’s gaze fell upon Bruce, who obviously still held a grudge over what happened the last time.

“Megan, why did you come out?”

When Donna, who was waiting outside, saw everyone walking out, she couldn’t help but approach them curiously. Noticing the look on their faces, she knew in her heart that something must have happened.

“I don’t know. We’ll just have to wait for Mr. Thompson.”

Frowning slightly, Megan looked in the direction of the OB van that was parked at the entrance. Subconsciously, the sense of dread she felt earlier reared its head again.

After waiting for a while, there was finally some movement coming from the vehicle. When the sound of footsteps was heard, Megan and the others turned to look in its direction.

“Isn’t that Mia?”

Donna quickly spotted her behind Jerry while Osmond was following them closely behind.

At the mention of Mia, Megan’s gaze turned cold. Raising her eyebrows with an indifferent expression, she could feel her heart sink.
