Chapter 437

For a moment, Vespera felt a genuine rush of excitement, but it disappeared almost immediately. The Jitanese ghost popped into her mind again. Vespera thought that she didn't want the prize because if she ended up owning the island, she might have to take that ghost home with her.

She held Dominic's hand and said sincerely, "I don't love the island, but if you're giving it to me, I'll make sure to sell it for a great price."

Dominic fell silent. Standing to the side, Evelyn teased, "Dominic, don't be too confident. What if Vance and I find it first?"

Dominic glanced at her and replied, "What if? Evelyn, don't sell yourself short either."

Evelyn couldn't say a thing. Then, Calvert and Gerard jumped in, claiming that they would win. Just like that, the tension broke, and the mood lifted. It was as if everyone was focused on the treasure hunt.

Shortly after, Belinda handed each guest a map and a clue. She announced, "The program starts in 20 minutes. Best of luck. I'll be waiting in the first room on the third floor. When you win, help me put this necklace back on."

Then, she left, leaving the guests in the hall. The guests began studying their clues. Some insisted that the necklace had to be somewhere in the castle, some were convinced it was in the forest, some suspected the basement, and some believed it was in the attic.
