Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed

Chapter 102 Do You Need Me To Accompany You?

Herry turned around cautiously and instantly screamed, "Ghost!!!"

They saw a "female ghost" standing behind them in a white outfit with long hair covering her face, which couldn't be seen clearly.

Slowly, she lifted her head, her neck twisting, revealing a pale face with large eyes and blood trickling down.

She reached out her hands and started approaching Emily and Herry.

"Get away! Get away! Don't come to catch me! Catch her!"

Herry was so scared that he lost his senses and pushed Emily towards the ghost before fleeing himself.

Still reeling from immense terror, Emily was forcefully propelled forward by a strong push and was about to fall onto the "female ghost." "Hey, miss, are you okay?"

The "female ghost" caught her. Worried that Emily was truly frightened, she quickly helped her sit down and explained softly, "Don't be afraid. There's a room next to this passage, and I changed into this outfit inside the room and stood behind you..." Several minutes passed before Emily regained her senses.

The "female ghost" stayed by her side, looking somewhat concerned. "Should I escort you out? It's not safe for a girl to be alone in a place like this, especially while carrying a child."

A child?

Herry!

Suddenly, Emily realized, "Um... the boy who was with me just now, did you see where he went?"

The "female ghost" pointed ahead. "He just kept walking straight along this path."

Emily's face instantly turned pale. "Are there more staff members like you further down this path?"

"Of course, this is a haunted house; there are definitely many ghosts along the way. Our haunted house is quite famous; even those who claim to be brave are often scared when they come to challenge it. I'm just the first, the most basic ghost." The "female ghost" said this with pride and self-importance.

But Emily felt increasingly anxious.

Herry was just a ten-year-old child, and he was quite frightened by the "female ghost." He wanted to run, but what awaited him was an even more terrifying world.

She quickly stood up, furrowing her brow as she asked about the situation ahead, "How far does this path go?"

"It's quite far, and it takes at least half an hour to finish walking. Our haunted house is designed quite complexly; you could say it's a combination of a haunted house and an escape room. You need to solve puzzles or find switchs to move to the next scene. There are over a dozen scenes in the haunted house! The fastest completion record is half an hour; most people take an hour to get out." Upon hearing this, Emily deeply regretted her decision.

If only she had accompanied Herry to play on the swinging hammer.

Now, Herry had run off somewhere, and she was responsible for looking after him, so she needed to ensure his safe return. Not only did she have to endure fear, but she also had to navigate through this haunted house, which was much more painful than being on the swinging hammer.

The "female ghost" spoke again, "Do you need to go in and find that child? Do you have a friend with you who can go in together?"

A friend to accompany her? Jackson was busy with business; she didn't want to disturb him.

"Oh, by the way," the "female ghost" said, "there was a couple who entered before you. Maybe you'll run into them, it might feel safer if you stick together. You can pick up the pace; you might meet up with that couple soon."

Emily replied, "Thank you."

Parting ways with the "female ghost," Emily continued to navigate forward alone.

The path grew narrower, with even the ground becoming uneven.

The situation ahead became increasingly alarming, far beyond what she could bear.

If the atmosphere of terror earlier had been within her tolerance, the decorations in this space now left her breathless with fear.

It is designed to simulate hell. Limbs

were scattered on the ground, though all fake, they looked real. What was more terrifying was the many models along the path. Two ghosts sawing a person in half, a living person inside a meat grinder...

Emily's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, allowing her to see the details more clearly.

Ring, ring-

Her phone suddenly rang, momentarily rescuing her from the terror. "Hello?"

"Emily, are you okay?" It was Mr.

Satan. "I just saw you enter the haunted house. This one is

considered one of the scariest. Do you need me to accompany you?"

Emily took a deep breath. "No need. It's daytime, and Nathan is also in the amusement park. It's better if you don't show up." "I'm fine, I'm just concerned about you..."

Emily's voice was firm. "I'm okay. Didn't you tell me to be confident? These ghosts are all fake; I'm not afraid."

Mr. Satan still sounded worried, but Emily's resolve was clear, so he could only agree. "If you need anything, call me anytime."

"Okay," with his support, Emily immediately felt much calmer. "Have you finished your meeting?"

"Not yet."

"..." Emily bit her lip. "Then please continue your meeting quickly."

She quickly hung up the phone.

Even though he was the boss, it wouldn't look good to make private calls in front of so many employees, right?

As she worried, she also felt a bit relieved.

With him, she felt like a plant rooted in the earth. Though not as mighty as a tree, she lived attached to the tree, no longer as lonely as before.

Putting away her phone, her heart gradually settled, and she continued walking forward.

Suddenly, not far ahead, she heard sobbing.

Was it a child crying?

"Herry?" Emily tentatively called out.

But there was no response, and the crying abruptly stopped.
