Chapter 4

Author: Lennox Yule
I stared at the screen, my face cold and unreadable.

It wasn’t long before Mia came back.

She looked downright cheerful, humming to herself like the explosion on the campus forum had nothing to do with her.

And then I noticed something else.

She looked prettier.

She was still as skinny as ever, all bones and angles, still wearing those childish, out-of-place kawaii outfits.

But the thick blanket of acne that used to cover her face was almost gone, leaving her forehead smooth and clear.

  • The Villainess Bound to a Rogue System   Chapter 9

    Lily looked down at him coldly, not a trace of warmth in her eyes.“Cut the act. Do you really think I’m stupid?“Save the excuses. If you’d actually had any self-control, the system wouldn’t have been able to use you in the first place.”Everyone knew the truth.As strange as that malicious system was, it could only fully control people who already had something rotten hiding inside them.Ethan was proof of that. Even when the system managed to influence him for a moment, he snapped out of it almost immediately and held on to who he really was.At first, Logan really had been under its control. But once he came to, he never refused any of it, did he?In the end, he’d lost to the ugly desires he’d been carrying all along.Without that damn system holding her up, Mia seemed to lose the very thing keeping her together. She started aging at a terrifying speed, visible almost day by day.After Logan lost Lily for good, his family cut him off and threw him out.“Please… please hel

    If this weren’t a world ruled by law, I would’ve killed her.My eyes burned red as I stared her down, every word deliberate.“You took a life. You’re going to pay for it. There’s no escaping that.”“Oh, right.”A slow, chilling smile spread across my face.“I almost forgot. You won’t have to wait long.”Mia’s eyes widened in panic.“What do you mean?”I didn’t answer.I turned and walked away.Behind me, she completely lost it, screaming like she’d gone mad.“Say it! Say it!”“If you’ve got the guts, then kill me!”---The next time I saw Mia was at a party after winter break.The moment I noticed the floating comments again, I knew she was nearby.This wasn’t a coincidence.To guard against that ridiculous system, I’d had people keeping tabs on her the entire time.What surprised me was the man standing next to her.Someone I recognized.Mia saw me too.Her eyes snapped toward me like poisoned blades, full of pure hatred, like she wanted to tear me apart.I gave

    Ethan had gotten close to her for one reason only: to find the malicious system and destroy it, so he could finally break free of its control.But that system was slippery.He’d been tracking it for a long time, and the most he could do was use technology to interfere with its influence.With what we had now, there was no way to destroy it outright.As for the evidence that took Mia down, only the first video came from the camera Ethan had installed in my apartment.Everything else had been recorded by Mia herself.What she never expected was that the necklace Ethan gave her had a hidden pinhole camera inside it, quietly capturing every ugly thing she did.The harder people had gone after me before, the more humiliated they looked now.“I said from the start, let the truth come out first.”“What about all those media accounts that helped mob her online? I support suing them. The media these days has no conscience.”“I’m sorry. I was wrong about you.”That apology video shot

    “You’d look better wearing nothing.”“Since you’ve got no shame anyway.”I stared at her through clenched teeth. The thought of the kitten made something inside me snap.“I can handle people getting hurt, but animal abuse is a hard no.”“Seriously, I was thinking the same earlier. I don’t support someone like this getting a redemption arc.”“Not me. I only watch this kind of twisted stuff.”“Come on, fight already. I love watching girls throw down.”…My whole body was shaking. My eyes burned as I shot back,“You’re a sick freak for hurting animals. Karma’s coming for you.”Mia didn’t even flinch. If anything, her smile widened.“Karma? Don’t be ridiculous. Everyone online is on my side right now. You’re the one getting torn apart.”She looked me up and down, her voice dripping with mock sympathy.“Look at you. Completely alone. Doesn’t that feel pathetic?”“Oh, and guess what? Ethan might already be hooked on me.”She pulled out her phone and waved it in front of me.“

    The backlash hit like a tidal wave.It didn’t just drown me. It wiped out everything in its path.Within hours, people had dug up my entire past.From getting into a fight with a boy in kindergarten to arguing with classmates in high school.The final verdict?I was labeled a violent, unstable psycho. A female version of some kind of born criminal.Meanwhile, Mia had already stepped on my name to boost herself.She went live.On camera, she wore a frilly, pastel dress, her voice soft and sugary sweet.“I honestly never thought she’d do something like that…“Oh my gosh, it’s so scary… I’ve been having nightmares every night…“Aww, thank you for the gifts, sweetheart. Don’t worry, I’ll stay safe.”…A top university student abusing a cat wasn’t just gossip anymore.It turned into a full-blown public scandal.Soon, I was under police investigation.The school also started pushing to expel me.“So,” I said, a cold smile tugging at my lips as I looked at the academic office

But the smugness in her expression was impossible to hide.She swayed slightly as she spoke, her voice syrupy sweet.“Chloeee… I can totally explain. It’s really not what it looked like.”“No need,” I said. “I believe you.”She clearly hadn’t expected tha
