Hope It's Not Too Late to Love
Chapter 563

Chapter 567

Jane beamed as she handed Bryan the spinner, then said, "Here you go, Mr. Jones. You get to spin first."

There was nothing Bryan loved more than fun and games, so he readily flicked the needle on the spinner. "Let's see who'll become my victim!"

Much like the human equivalent of a drumroll, everyone at the table started clapping their hands rhythmically while chanting, "Stop, stop, stop... Hah!"

They were all staring at the spinner, which behaved as if it had grown eyes and assessed those at the table one by one, for after a single round, it decided that it would point to Vania.

"Oh, looks like you're up, Vania!" Bryan quickly handed her the box of marked papers and said, "Come on, reach in and see which dare you'll have to do!" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At one side of the table, Yvonne smirked as she drawled, "Let's see if you're as lucky as you were on the shooting range."

Vania flashed her a smile. "Maybe I'll get a pass or something."

However, it became clear that a pass was impossible because the paper she drew out of the box was full of words. She tried to be mysterious as she covered up most of the words and peeked at them.

"Hey, don't try to hide it, Vania. Let us have a look." Bryan snatched the piece of paper out of Vania's hand and opened it, then burst into laughter. "This is going to be a tough one for you, Vania!" He held out the paper so that everyone at the table could see what was written on it. "The person who draws this must go up on stage and perform a song or a dance for ten minutes!"

"On stage? Here at the banquet? That would be an earth-shattering sight!"

"Sing and dance! Sing and dance!"

Everyone's cheers were close to drowning out the band. Things were livened up at the table after Vania pulled such a dare out of the box, seeing as no one had ever gotten a dare as exciting as this one before.

Yvonne, in particular, was having a hard time hiding her smile as she laughed and asked mockingly, "So, will you take the five shots or will you go up to sing on stage?"

It was no easy feat for someone as famous as Vania to go up on stage in front of all these guests to sing and dance. If she messed up in her performance, the humiliation and backlash would be overwhelming for sure.

That said, Yvonne was also prepared for the eventuality that Vania might choose to drink five shots of alcohol instead of carrying out the dare. If that were the case, then she would choose the strongest alcohol and leave Vania to suffer the aftermath of it later.

This game is the perfect excuse for me to embarrass Vania! Even she can't avoid the humiliation if she were to screw up her performance on stage.

Presently, Vania stared at the piece of paper hesitantly, weighing her options.

At the sight of this, Liam offered, "If you don't want to take the dare, I could always drink the five shots in your place, Vania."

"Yeah, Vania. You don't have to go up there if you don't want to," Bryan interjected righteously. "We'll drink on your behalf."

April wanted to help her as well, but when he remembered how jealous Hanson could get, he decided against it. One simply did not offer to help the Devil's wife out of a pinch, not when the Devil himself was more than capable of defending his own woman.

As expected, Hanson started pouring liquor into his own glass and asking icily, "Five shots, right?"

Yvonna gaped at the men in shock. Why are they all coming to Vania's defense before she even started? Why are they all ganging up on me?

"The rules of the game clearly state that only the person who picks the dare and refuses to do it will have to drink."

"Ten shots, then," Hanson snapped impatiently, bargaining to keep his wife from having to go up on stage and sing in front of everyone here. He did not like the idea that his first time hearing her sing would be when she was carrying out a dare in front of a crowd.

Meanwhile, Yvonne gave him an incredulous look. She couldn't believe that he would resort to drinking twice the amount of alcohol just to protect Vania. "You-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Vania interrupted by putting her hand in between Hanson and the full glass of liquor, saying, "No, you can't drink this because it would upset your stomach."

"So, are you going to drink the shots yourself?" Yvonne asked, glad that her contingency plan would come in handy.

"No," Vania answered.

"You won't be drinking?" Yvonne frowned.

"As if I would run away from a challenge! I choose to go with the dare, of course!"

Vania rose to her feet confidently and elegantly straightened her long, black dress, which had delicate straps that accentuated her figure. With her hair gently pulled into a low-do, she looked like the very picture of grace.
