Although Emma found Liam's claims utterly ridiculous, a flicker of admiration for the man she had chosen still burned within her.So she pushed aside her doubts and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt."You should go, Liam."Liam's expression faltered for a moment. "What? Emma, how can I leave at a time like this? I can stay and help you!""Help me with what?" Emma's voice was sharp. "I need money. If you say you can earn it, then you should hurry now. We need the money by evening.""Oh, this…"A conflict of emotions appeared on Liam's face.This was the perfect opportunity to deepen his connection with Emma when she was vulnerable, so he didn't want to leave at all. But he knew he had to at least appear to take action.As for actually going to get money? That was a joke.Liam had two true motives for seducing this foolish Emma: her beauty and sexy body, which he coveted, and her family's wealth, which he intended to use as a stepping stone on his climb to power.The Wright f

Feeling the burning sensation on her face, Emma's mind reeled in disbelief and vertigo.This man, this mere man, loathed her? How dare he lay his hands upon her? How dare he slap her?The thought shot through her consciousness like a bullet, impossible to comprehend.But as reality crashed back into her awareness, a white-hot rage ignited in the depths of her soul, unlike anything she had ever experienced.Reason abandoned her entirely, and with a guttural scream, Emma launched herself at Oliver, her fingers curled like claws, desperate to rip the flesh from his face, to gouge out those insolent eyes that dared to look down upon her.Smack!However, before she could reach him, Charlotte gave her another slap, sending her straight into the hands of the guards, who seized her arms and threw her out of the main gate."Bastard! Bastard! BASTARD!" Emma shrieked in fury. "You threw me out! All I asked for was a simple apology, to lift the capital ban, and to convince the bank to reconsider

Oliver sat on the edge of the bed and called in his heart. 'System, Activate Protagonist Surveillance. Target Liam Dust.'[Ding! 500 System Points Deducted][Target Locked: Liam Dust!]"Locate him, and show me what he's doing for one minute."[Ding! 10 System Points Deducted]Immediately, like dreaming, Oliver's consciousness traveled through a tunnel of kaleidoscopic colors.When his vision cleared, Oliver found himself hovering in the air, overlooking the entire city, and then he swooshed and dived down to a bustling street, appearing near Liam, who was checking out one stall after another filled with antiques."I must find some good antiques and then go to the casino tomorrow to get some money for Emma. This will be enough to fool her."Liam muttered to himself, and Oliver heard it all while watching him buy some antiques. But one minute was too short, and it was over before Oliver realized it, and his consciousness was pushed back to his body."So our protagonist is back to his ori

Oliver stood up, slowly opened the office door, and walked silently toward the direction of the faint sound.Following the sound, he reached the snack area under the dim lights, where he saw a petite figure fumbling with the snack cabinet beside the coffee machine.The girl's movements were quick and nervous, and her hands trembled slightly as she snatched two packets of freshly baked bread cakes.She clutched them to her chest like precious treasures, and her eyes darted around as if expecting someone to leap from the dark at any moment.Even in the poor lighting, Oliver could make out her delicate features and slender frame, which the oversized blue office suit failed to conceal completely beneath her crisp white shirt.The contrast between her small stature and the too-large blazer created an almost comical silhouette.A smile appeared on Oliver's face as he watched this unexpected scene unfold, and he silently moved behind her.Unaware of the danger lurking behind her, the girl re

Lilly's mind was screaming at her to refuse the hundred dollars from Oliver, to maintain some shred of dignity, but the thought of her wallet with fifteen dollars less and her bedridden mother at home didn't allow her to refuse it.With a nod, she accepted the money and fled the office.Although Lilly thought that the cold, cruel, and hateful President Oliver, who bullied her, might have some ulterior motives, she still felt a sense of gratitude towards him for the money and letting her leave with only a warning.Watching the girl leave with a huff, Oliver chuckled in his heart.[Ding! The Heroine Lilly's shame and frustration levels have exploded, but she also felt a sense of gratitude towards the host.][Reward: 1000 System Points]When he saw the system points rewarded by simply playing with the heroine's emotions, Oliver nodded his head with satisfaction.As he had expected, making the heroine's life miserable or making her heart sway for him would both reward him with system point
