The three of them were eating fruit together on the sofa.
Hugh asked Mary, “Why, is your publishing company looking for you again? I thought that old man, John or something was sent to prison by Jayce!”
Mary’s heart jumped!
When did Jayce sue John?
Although he despised Mary now, Mary was still grateful for his kindness in the beginning.
Mary said, “How is that possible! I won’t go back there. I’m now a rich woman with a million dollars. Why would I go back to that Job?”
Hugh replied, “Then why did Monroe’s maid tell me that you abandoned me early in the morning for work?”
Mary said, “You’re not my toy. How can you say that I abandoned you? Hugh, you have to be confident. You’re my brother. You’ll never be abandoned!”
.
Mary patted Hugh’s shoulder and spoke in a deep voice.
Hugh felt inexplicably happy.
“Then why did you go out?”
Mary said, “To look for a new job.”
Hugh said, “Then did you find it?”
Mary bit on the fruit fork and lied, “No, it’s not that easy!”
Hugh said, “Eh! You stupid girl! All of your brothers have unique skills and talents! If you look for a job, we have a lot of jobs around us! Be my assistant!”
Mary had a smile on her face. “Then how much will you give me a yearly salary?”
Hugh asked, “Food and accommodation, and for the annual salary… how about a million?!”
Mary was speechless! This job was absolutely top-notch! It was a good job that many people could never even dream of!
Herman said from the side, “As far as I know, Daniel’s salary is only 100,000.”
Hugh asked, “Mary is my sister, how can their salaries be the same?”
Mary was still a little touched.
“Thank you for your kindness! But I feel like I’ll become a parasite! I’d better find some jobs that I’m good at and that are worth the salary!”
Hugh was helpless. He knew that he could not persuade her about this.
Herman asked, “Are you going to work in the hospital?”
Mary said, “No need! I won’t consider any jobs around my brothers! Otherwise, I feel like a pauper receiving a reward.”
It wasn’t because of her damn self-esteem. Mary was an agent, so she could only use this phrase to reject her brothers’ kindness.
Hugh suddenly remembered something. “If you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you go on an adventure with me first?”
Mary looked at Hugh and waited for him to say something.
Hugh said mysteriously, “Do you know of the Karsten Hotel, hidden deep in the mountains? It’s supposed to be haunted.
“It is said that this hotel looks mottled and old. From the outside, it looks like it’s in ruins!
“But it can still be booked. But it is said that there are very few staff.
“Most importantly, there have been many tragedies here!
“There was a family of three who disappeared overnight. The room was full of blood.
“There was also a wife who hacked her husband to death in the middle of the night!
“There was also a strong man who hacked all the passengers to death in the middle of the night!
“There were also many other unsolved cases!
“I wonder what kind of background this hotel has. It hasn’t been locked down yet. After so much trouble, it can still continue to operate…”
Mary rubbed her arm.
She was not afraid of ghosts!
She just felt that it was too coincidental and too strange!
She remembered the name of the Karsten Hotel!
That was because Ya had told her in the morning that her next mission was to go there!
Moreover, Hugh’s description was basically the same as the hotel Ya had mentioned.
Her mission was to find out the truth behind the haunted hotel!
Mary didn’t know why the mission that an agent of hers had received suddenly turned into solving a case, but it sounded rather interesting at the time, so she accepted it…
She had just come into contact with the mission when Hugh proposed it!
Was all of this really just a coincidence?
