Chapter 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under Alice’s forcefulness, she managed to drag Thomson out of their cottage, where they got into a luxurious business car.

Then, the driver started the engine and drove on.

Sat at the back of the car, Alice put her arm around Thomson’s arm and her head on his broad shoulders.

She had a bright smile on her face.

It was then when Thomson came back to his senses and asked his wife, “Where are we going?”

Alice did not answer his question directly. She simply told him that he would know when he arrived.

She wanted to give him a huge surprise.

This made him, a trillionaire, curious. He desperately wanted to know what kind of surprise his wife had prepared for him.

The journey was silent, but it did not take long before the two of them arrived at their destination.

When they got off the car, his wife led him to a building.

Along the way, Thomson kept asking his wife what kind of surprise it was.

Though what he did not know was that his wife had sold him out. The two of them were on their way to participate in a reality show that had recently become very popular.

It was a non-scripted, real reality show as the participants were all couples that the film crew had randomly selected from the big city.

From the moment the two got out of the car, the show had already started filming, and hence their entire journey was live broadcasted.

“Another couple is coming over. Haha, the man’s dumbfounded expression is hilarious.”

“Yeah, it is. I really love this show.”

“It really is real!”

At this moment, Thomson was still unaware of everything that was going on.

This reality show was called “The Hyper-Reality Show”, and the content of the show was just as its name suggested.

Very soon, they arrived at the backstage of the set, where they saw various staff members and countless cameras filming the two of them.

Only then did Thomson realize something. After all, he was worth trillions. If he could not figure this out, he was not worthy of being the richest person in the world.

For one, he knew that this was a show, and although he did not know what it was about, he did not ask much since it made his wife happy.

He cooperated and pretended not to know because he doted on his wife.

Alice was different from all the women he had met before. The women in his past were extremely flirtatious, sexy, and beautiful, but they were only with him because of his identity and wealth. None of their feelings to him were sincere.

Nevertheless, Thomson was different now. Although he was just an ordinary worker, his wife chose to be with him in a heartbeat. She did not care about his status at all. 

In fact, the two of them were neighbors when they were younger, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

They even used to be in the same university, where they studied in the same classes. The two of them had been close since they were young, and back then, they already had indescribable feelings toward each other. However, since the two of them were still young, they did not express their feelings.

Before they were even old enough, Thomson had already left to explore the world and the two of them lost contact from then on.

One day, they were both invited to a classmate’s party. It was at the party that they found each other. 

When Thomson saw his childhood sweetheart, he could not help but be surprised. He had almost forgotten about Alice with the luxurious life he once lived, but at that time, he was done with that life.

When he saw Alice, Thomson was very proud of his decision to live a normal life because he had found not just any woman but his first love to be with him for the rest of his life.

This was undoubtedly God’s greatest gift to him.

Alice had liked Thomson since they were young too. So when she saw him, she was happy yet nervous.

She was happy that she had finally met her lover again, but nervous because the two of them had not seen each other for a few years. She did not know what Thomson’s personality now was like and if he still felt the same about her.

On that day, the two of them confessed to each other and got together.

…

“Husband.”

Alice called out gently. Upon hearing this clear voice, Thomson was so touched.

He looked at his wife affectionately.

“What’s up?” he replied.

“You have to do well later, alright? All the best!”

Alice cheered for Thomson and then left.

Thomson looked at his wife’s mischievous look, and a doting smile appeared on his face as he shook his head helplessly.

After a while, the program team’s staff member walked towards them.

Those participating in the show were couples, but only the men were left in the room.

The wives had left.

When the staff member entered the room, he said to the ten husbands in front of him, “Welcome to The Hyper-Reality Show.”

“I’m the host of this show. Let me explain the show’s rules to you.”

The Hyper-Reality Show?

A show?

All the husbands present were puzzled, but Thomson, on the other hand, looked calm.

Despite that, he was also a little curious as to what kind of show it was. Moreover, he might even have shares in this show.

“Haha, I like this scene.”

“Their dumbfounded expressions are so interesting. They still have no idea that their wives had sold them out. Hahaha, this is hilarious.”

The show had already started the second they arrived here, and everything was being live broadcasted.

There was no script, no inside story. Everything was happening in real-time.

That was why it was called The Hyper-Reality Show. 

The host coughed twice and cleared his throat before he said in a clear voice, “The competition rules for this show are very simple. You only need to do one thing in this show.”

The host paused for a while, creating suspense.

Once he was certain that everyone was shocked, he continued, “And that is to borrow money. The more money you borrow, the higher your ranking will be, and the more rewards you’ll receive in the end.”

“That is the rules of the competition. Simple, isn’t it? Out of the ten of you, the top three who borrow the most money will advance to the next competition.”

“But no matter if you advance or not, the show will compensate each family with a prize of 10,000 US dollars.”
