Hannah looked up at him sharply and retorted, "You are different, Maloney.
You can look after yourself; I don't care whether you sign it or not.
After saying that, to Lydia's shock, Hannah picked up a pen and signed the agreement! Lydia immediately grabbed her hand, her expression flustered.
"Didn't you just say that this gcould be dangerous? Forget it, Hannah.
Let's not get involved!" Just then, the staff member who had distributed the agreements approached them.
He happened to overhear Lydia's concerns.
Clutching a stack of documents, he offered her a reassuring smile and said, "Please rest assured, Miss.
It's just a game.
We really hope that you will have a pleasant experience on the island.

If you lose, there's no real loss.
If you win, you make money.
" Lydia opened her mouth to respond, but Hannah gently held her wrist, silencing her.
Hannah eyed the staff member as she handed him the agreement.
"So what about the auction? You said we couldn't participate in the auction of the island tomorrow if we didn't attend tonight's dinner party.
If my friend decides not to participate in this game, are you going to say she can't bid at the auction tomorrow?" Taking the agreement from Hannah, the man glanced down and then smiled politely.
"You misunderstood.
All those who attended the dinner tonight are eligible to participate in the auction of the island tomorrow.
It's just a game.
We won't force anyone to take part.
Your friend may opt out of the gif she chooses.
Hannah nodded at Lydia.
With a decisive motion, Lydia raised her hand and handed the blank agreement back to the staff.
"I quit.
Following her lead, Dotson and Brayden also opted out.
Lydia had thought that aside from their trio, no one else would opt out.
Unexpectedly, only twelve people ultimately signed the agreement.
In other words, aside from the three of them, there were still three others who did not participate in the game- two men and one woman.
This was expected by Hannah; these three were not young, and they had cto the island strictly for business purposes.

After collecting the agreements, the staff member stood at the table and offered a respectful bow.
"We hope you have a good night.
The gwill officially start tomorrow.
With that, he retreated through a small door and vanished into the darkness.
The twelve individuals who had signed the agreement stood to gain I stood nearly five hundred million each if they could equally share the five billion.
The atmosphere warmed as they enjoyed dinner and engaged in lively Le conversation. "Just a random gcouldus about five hundred million each.
How can there be six people who don't want to participate?" "They are all big shots who aren't desperate for money like us.
Would they really lower their status to participate in a gjust for a few hundred million?" It was Coen who spoke, his voice dripping with sarcasm and his lips oily.
He glanced at Hannah, intentionally or otherwise.
"I thought someone didn't care much about money.
It seems that she's just so-so.
