All Chapters of My Target Invades My Everyday Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Penalty for mission failure—the passage home will be permanently closed."Before signing off, Hugo had reminded me, "You need to be careful, Nathan. Jenny is mentally unstable. She throws things at you whenever she feels like it, and she's been keeping Aaron on the side as her sugar baby. Don't do anything rash."Being perfectly aware of that myself, I nodded in agreement.Meanwhile, ever since I refused the system's renewal package, it became all dejected and forlorn. Even its robotic tone seemed to carry a hint of weary resentment.It didn't want me to leave, but I was adamant about leaving.Just as I was about to lay my cards on the table with the system once and for all, the villa's front door flew open. Jenny strode in, radiating a frosty air.There was something rather off about her today. Her usually attractive face was now dark and stormy, and her eyes were completely bloodshot.Staring at me, she made her approach.I couldn't be bothered to speak. I simply moved towar

Jenny's hand trembled, and the cotton swab fell to the floor. She was no longer capable of sparing any thought for me.As she hurriedly flung the tweezers she was holding back onto the tray, she cried out, "What did you say? Why are you just standing there then? Get the best doctor to check on him immediately!"She was off like the wind, disappearing without a trace.Hugo snorted in disgust. "What the hell? Her pretty boy is having chest pains, huh? He should just drop dead then. She doesn't even blink when your skull cracks open, but the moment her boy toy whines about some pain, she acts as if the sky has fallen!"My lips twitched, tugging on my wound and making me wince from the pain."If she so much as spends a single second longer with me than necessary, it's like her entire day is ruined," I said coolly. "But what's more ironic is that she doesn't even think she's done anything wrong. She still thinks I'm the one who's kicking up a fuss over nothing."Jenny had spent half h

Hugo's hand was still resting on my arm. Feeling the warmth of his palm, I looked at him like a drowning man clutching the last piece of driftwood. My eyes were still bloodshot, and the tears hadn't dried up yet, but I felt a spark in my chest."You say your system listens to you?" My voice was cracked and hoarse, as if it took a great deal of energy to even squeeze it out of my throat. "What's the price you have to pay?"There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. These systems weren't charitable."The price is I've gotta stick around in this crappy world a while longer and tire myself out a bit more with some annoying tasks." Hugo pulled his hand back and shrugged carelessly, slipping back into that lazy, nonchalant attitude of his."You know what my target's like. Her brain is completely empty, save for her obsession with her first love. It's easier to placate her than it is to placate a three-year-old toddler. Even if I have to stay a few more years, I'll just treat

In an instant, all the color drained from Jenny's face. She stared at me in a daze, as if she were seeing me for the first time.Without sparing her another glance, I walked straight out of the hospital room.Having completed the paperwork, Hugo was already waiting for me at the hospital entrance. He gave me the OK sign and said, "All done. Did that madwoman give you any trouble?""She's got her hands full now," I said coolly.I knew Jenny too well. She was an arrogant woman with a possessive streak who was easily suspicious. The bombshell I'd dropped today was enough to dwell on her mind for days. She would look into this matter, of course, but she wouldn't dare let Aaron know about it.Once the seed of doubt was planted, it would take root sooner or later.By the time I got back to the villa, the sky was completely dark.The living room was brightly lit. Sitting on the rug, Ryan was happily tearing open a massive Lego gift box. Several other brand-new toys were piled beside hi

Jenny froze. She probably never thought I'd be so cooperative about it. She must've expected me to cling to her like before, begging her not to leave."What is it?" she asked warily."You're going to walk away from the marriage with nothing," I said, my voice crystal clear.For a moment, the living room was silent. Then, Jenny snorted as if she'd just heard the most ludicrous joke ever."Did you fall on your head or something, Nathan? The company is my—""Your what?" I cut her off as I began approaching from the bar. "Your supposed life's work that was built with the money and resources I gave you? The success that you only managed to achieve because I paved the way for you?"Jenny, have you forgotten that I'm the founder of Nova Tech and its largest shareholder? Even the shares you have right now were given to you by me as a wedding gift. Legally, I have the right to reclaim it from you anytime I want."I stopped in front of her and looked down at her face, which was now twiste
