Chapter 2

Again, dense lines of text appeared before my eyes:

"Hahaha, the ex-wife must be stunned, huh? Our guy isn't holding onto their past; he just hasn't gotten around to selling the place yet."

"The ex-wife still thinks Damien loves her like before, but nope! With Chloe, he wouldn't spare her a second glance."

"The System only made her come back to cause trouble for Damien and Chloe. The ex-wife is just setting herself up for public humiliation."

I pursed my lips.

So, that was it.

The System dared to offer five million because it was utterly convinced I'd fail. Its real goal was to make me the villainess, an obstacle to the main couple's love story.

It just got my labor for fifty thousand, practically for free.

Fifty thousand.

I gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Being a clown for fifty grand wasn't nothing.

It was a week's worth of ICU treatment, after all.

I called out to the System and readily agreed to the deal.

The System beamed, giving me a large sum of money for my expenses during this time, though it could only be used in this world.

Since Damien was so eager to sell this apartment.

Why don't I just buy it?

I clutched my phone, dialing the familiar number from memory.

It took half a minute for someone to pick up.

A clear, youthful voice chimed from the other end: "Hello, who is this?"

I froze for a second.

I looked down to confirm, it was indeed Damien's number.

"I was passing by and saw the 'for sale' sign on the window..."

"You want to buy the house?"

The person on the other end exclaimed with surprise: "That's great! Someone finally wants this place."

I cautiously asked: "Are you the owner?"

"I'm the owner's girlfriend. You can just call me Chloe."

So, she was the second System Host.

In my moment of distraction, there was a brief commotion on the other end, like two people whispering.

It seemed like a long time passed.

Someone picked up the phone again.

Damien's cold voice came through clearly: "Hello, would it be convenient to meet and discuss?"
