Chapter 6

Author: Tiny Confusion
In that instant, I was nearly blinded by the crimson red "99" as I inwardly screamed. Thea only had one more point to go. She was a single point from scoring the ten-billion-dollar jackpot and winning this ridiculous contest outright, while I was still stuck at 91.

In that instant, the comments section was in a state of pure frenzy. The updates were a blur before my eyes.

"Thea's at 99 points! She's right at the finish line!"

"Is Mr. Parker the system's favorite? He's hitting all the critica

  • My Abuse System Matched Me with a Lovesick Male Lead   Chapter 9

    I had actually managed to score 100 points. I was under the impression that only one spot was available.I earned those final points on an execution block Sean had built for me, one made of "Truth" and "Broken Ties". I could hear the system's icy countdown ringing in my ears—a victory fanfare that doubled as a funeral dirge.I was finally able to get my hands on the ten-billion-dollar payout, but for some reason, the victory felt hollow. There was a hollow ache in my chest, a cold draft blowing through me that hurt infinitely more than any "suffering" I'd faced over the last six years.I finally broke down, my tears obscuring Sean's retreating figure and clouding my view of the Parker residence. The place that had been my home now felt as cold as a tomb.Those in the comments section remained silent for quite some time, the commenters seemingly stunned into silence by my sudden, brutal win. It wasn't until the countdown hit zero and the system confirmed that the funds had been tr

    I jerked my head up, staring at him in sheer terror—Sean even knew exactly what the prize was. "You were actually willing to be misunderstood, harassed online, and even go as far as to orchestrate your own public humiliation and exile for that kind of money," Sean said as he fixed his eyes on mine, watching for the slightest flicker of emotion. "What is your bottom line, Stella?"His interrogation cut straight through my final facade, making me feel embarrassed, wronged, unwilling, and exposed all at once.I could hear the tremble in my voice, but it had the sharpness of someone who had nothing left to lose. "You want to talk about my bottom line, huh? You're in a position of power, so it's easy for you to talk lightly about it! "Do you even know what it's like to see that massive amount of wealth slip through your fingers, Sean? Do you know how draining it is to work with a flawed system, trying so hard just for some points?"I do want the money! If I had it, I wouldn't have to

  • My Abuse System Matched Me with a Lovesick Male Lead   Chapter 7

    Maddie ordered the maid standing nearby, Maria Webber, "Get a car ready for Ms. Smith and have her checked into a hotel in the city under Parker Group's account. Go make sure Ms. Smith gets there safely as well, Maria." It wasn't a gesture of hospitality. It was a polished "expulsion" designed for a clean break. Maddie took control of the drama and de-escalated it, giving Thea an exit strategy while making it clear they were officially done.That "kindness" that felt like a handout was just another kind of insult for someone as arrogant as Thea, whose elaborate schemes had ended in total defeat. She wavered slightly before she murmured without looking back, "Thank you, Maddie."She then opened the door and walked out. She closed the door behind her, finally blocking out all the complicated looks in the living room.It was then that a notification sounded, though it wasn't from my system. It was the comments section giving a play-by-play of what was happening on Thea's end.[Detec

In that instant, the comments section was in a state of pure frenzy. The updates were a blur before my eyes."Thea's at 99 points! She's right at the finish line!""Is Mr. Parker the system's favorite? He's hitting all the critical points, delivering lethal blows with everything he said!""You have to act now, Stella! You'll walk away with nothing if the female lead wins!""She only has one more point to go! What kind of finisher are we about to see?"I felt a rush of blood to my head while my hands and feet went numb with cold and my mind raced at full capacity. I couldn't let Thea earn that final point no matter what. I didn't know what I could do, though. Sean had cornered her perfectly. His verbal attacks were s

    I instantly realized that Thea was preventing me from racking up points.Those in the comments section realized it too."Wow! Thea has gotten smarter! She's doing a reverse play now!""She stood up for Stella, which stopped Stella from earning points for being falsely accused!""It's a battle between two experts, where every move is decisive!"I realized things were taking a turn for the worse. If Jared and Maddie were swayed by Thea, all my acting would have been for nothing.I was just about to double down when Sean, who had been standing silently in the shadows, walked out. His gaze was no longer probing or weary. Instead, it was a freezing, penetrating stare marked by a visible trace of revulsion that seemed to see through everything. "You can drop the act now, Thea. I'll get to the bottom of the situation with the photos, Mom and Dad, but before I do, I have something I'd like to ask."He looked at Thea and asked, "How credible are her words if she is capable of harming h

    It was then that the system notification sounded.[Detected: "Misunderstood and Pressured" event][Origin: Sean's subjective intimidation][Emotional Damage Rating: High][Angst Points: +50][Current Progress: 71/100]I was finally ahead with 71 points, but I couldn't bring myself to feel happy about it.Sean returned to the hospital ward to grab his coat. He then turned to Thea and said, "I've got a meeting to get to, so you should get some rest, Thea."I was practically dragged along and shoved into the car. I could feel the stifling atmosphere during the drive back, along with a dull, agonizing pain in my chest."It's a shame that Mr. Parker ended up leaving. Thea actually managed to score ten points.""Stella got 50 points! That move paid off big time!""Stella seems to be catching feelings. She must have suffered real heartache to earn those 50 points.""You have to hang in there, Stella—money matters more than men!"I couldn't help but wonder if I had actually caught
