Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Torturing Someone to Death Without Compensation (7)

Actually, Steve Burton was confident that Maya Mitchell wouldn’t dare to tell her real crush’s name, and everything he said was just to choke her and make her uncomfortable.

The people in the private room were all interested because they thought the object of Maya’s crush was one of them sitting there. But when they heard her mention a completely irrelevant person, they all seemed a little disappointed, though they didn’t say it out loud.

Some straightforward people who had drunk alcohol couldn’t help but snort and said, “Boring.”

Maya, who had lied, looked stiff, and when she heard those three words, her expression became even more rigid, and the smile she had been trying to maintain disappeared.

Hillary noticed the atmosphere had become awkward in an instant, so she quickly stood up from the couch with a smile. Walking over to Maya in her high heels, she patted her on the back and said cheerfully, “Originally, the next turn was supposed to be Maya’s and Dennis Brown’s, but since Edric drank three cups of alcohol and went to the bathroom, Ruby and Edric haven’t answered their questions. So let’s have them answer first before we continue the game.

As she spoke, Hillary pointed to a male student near the door and said, “Can you check on Edric in the bathroom? He’s been gone for a long time, I wonder if there’s a problem.”

That male student, slightly drunk, staggered to his feet and walked out of the private room.

Hillary’s change of topic effectively diffused Maya’s embarrassment.

Maya’s expression improved slightly, and she smiled at Hillary before returning to her seat and sitting down.

As far as Steve Burton was concerned, he had achieved his goal of making Maya suffer in silence, and by rights, he should have let it go.

Unfortunately, in Steve’s dictionary, there was no term, “quit while you’re ahead.”

What he was best at was shamelessly rubbing salt into people’s wounds.

So, the moment Maya settled into the couch, Steve lazily changed his sitting posture, looking as if he was genuinely chatting, and casually said, “Some time ago, there was a strange news story, I don’t know if you’ve paid attention.”

Everyone in the room was focused on developing their career in Ciawell, and Steve just happened to be the one who was doing the best among them. So, as soon as he spoke, someone couldn’t wait to join in, “What news?”

“It’s not really an important piece of news. It’s just about a guy who got drunk and bragged to his friends. When his friends doubted him, he said that if he was lying, his whole family would die… ” Steve glanced at Maya, who was sitting next to him, and saw that her relaxed expression had suddenly become somewhat stagnant. He chuckled and slowly continued, “Two days later, his father died in a car accident, and his mother had a recurrence of heart disease and was hospitalized.”

There was no such news story; it was entirely made up by Steve. But because it was Steve who said it, none of the people in the room would ever think of refuting it, they would only try to cater to him.
