Chapter 706 Sweet Extra of Couple Variety Show 191
"Marshall, I really can't wrap my head around all these last-minute changes, but this script is hilarious," Brent laughed uncontrollably, then looked at Gabriel with sympathy. "Sorry for the hassle, Mr. Harriman."
He pressed his hand to his eyelids, still chuckling.
Gabriel smiled too, not minding Brent's incessant laughter.
"Who was it that suggested the killer should recognize them as the boss and become their sidekick?" Clayton began to stir the pot.
Brent coughed instantly. "That never happened."
"What do you mean it didn't? Marshall's side recorded it!" Clayton laughed heartily.
Brent's mouth twitched.
Gabriel glanced at Brent, and although there was no particular meaning in his gaze, Brent quickly straightened up. "Marshall, should we move on to the next step?"
"What's the next step?" Hugo leaned forward to ask.
"What else? Hand over the funds!" Brent finally found a topic to shift the conversation and immediately nudged Melissa's arm like a sidekick. "Melissa, check how much money we have left and hand it over!"
Melissa sighed and slapped his arm in return.
But the rules were set, and there was no way around it. Brent kept giving her looks, clearly wanting to curry favor with Gabriel. Melissa rolled her eyes at him, checked her phone's electronic ledger, and said, "I have about thirty bucks left. This period's funds haven't been distributed yet."
The others quickly calculated their remaining money, some even pulling out cash from their pockets to check.
The small bills were almost worn out from counting.
It was clear how much psychological trauma everyone had suffered from the limited funds in the first period.
Jessica, who hadn't done anything but was about to reap the benefits, finally took the opportunity to sneak closer to Gabriel while everyone was counting money. She leaned against Gabriel's shoulder, and he naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, looking down at her, thinking she might be uncomfortable.
Jessica whispered in his ear, "When they hand over the funds, are we really going to take it?"
Gabriel replied, "Why not?"
Jessica's eyes curved, whispering, "It's a bit too cruel."
Gabriel gently touched her eyelid, making her close her eyes. "If it's cruel, don't look. Just take the money with your eyes closed."
Jessica opened her eyes, holding back her laughter.
No wonder he's a businessman.
When facing the most practical issues, there's no room for unnecessary sympathy.
Jessica understood that in the show, Marshall wouldn't really let the guests starve or lack anything. Most of it was for the show's effect, but in reality, none of them were allowed to carry extra money or use mobile payments. For a long time, everyone had been restricted in terms of funds.
Even when occasionally shopping at the supermarket, everyone had to pick and choose the cheapest drinks or simply switch to bottled water.
Jessica was mentally calculating how to allocate the money when the guests started reporting their remaining funds and solemnly handed the money to her.
Jessica looked at the fifty-something dollars of small bills in her hand and saw Amy's pained expression, unable to hold back her laughter.
