They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 235 - 235 Careless

Chapter 235: Careless Chapter 235: Careless “A game?” Nnenna’s lips twitched in amusement.

“What kind of game?” “Uh… chess!” Ebere blurted out immediately.

“I see.

That’s a nice game, so tactical, so involved.” Nnenna nodded thoughtfully.

“But from the sounds I heard, things were hitting the table quite hard.

Even if the chessboard fell, it wouldn’t make so much noise… like a fist slamming the table, would it now, Sister?” Exposed Ebere “…” Ebere was speechless.

How in the world does she know everything?!

She scrambled to come up with another excuse, but Nnenna cut her off.

“Stop lying, Elder Sister,” she said firmly.

“I already know what happened.

A servant, one of my friends, was passing by and heard the argument.

And before you try to make another excuse, she also saw your face when you left the throne room.” Ebere opened her mouth but closed it again.

Nnenna took a step closer, her voice soft but determined.

“What’s going on?

Tell me the truth.

You most likely got into whatever this is because of me, didn’t you?” She reached out, squeezing Ebere’s hand gently.

“Don’t leave me out of it.

I want to help.

I can’t bear watching you suffer because of me.” Ebere sighed.

I knew it.

There was no point in hiding it now, her sister had already figured out most of it.

“Second Brother summoned me to tell me that I should stop being close to you,” she admitted.

Nnenna’s eyes widened in shock.

So, it had come to this.

First, Obinna restricted her movements.

Then, he tried to take her phone.

He even limited the resources given to her, including food.

And now, he wanted to take away the sister she got after ten whole years?

Obinna was going too far.

Way too far.

And it was time she retaliated.

“Okay,” Nnenna nodded, organizing her thoughts.

“Then you will stay away from me like he said.” Ebere’s eyes flared with defiance.

“What?!

No!

I—” Nnenna held up her hand to stop her.

“Just for a while,” she explained calmly.

“I will think of something.

At least until Eldest Brother returns.

We should lie low for now.” Ebere frowned.

“I disagree.” Nnenna blinked, surprised by her firm tone.

“Who is the older sister between you and me?” Ebere asked.

“You are,” Nnenna answered hesitantly.

Though she knew they were born on the same day, month and year, but the hours, minutes and seconds could have made a difference.

Besides, it had always been like this, she was used to it already.

“It’s good that you still remember,” Ebere continued, crossing her arms.

“That means I get to decide what we are going to do.

Yes, you can offer your opinion about your own actions all you like.

But you don’t get to decide what I do.

I’ve already made my choice, and you are not allowed to tell me otherwise.” Her expression was firm, unwavering.

Nnenna stared at her, taken aback.

This was not the same sister she had known for years.

This was someone stronger.

“Yes, Sister,” Nnenna answered, still in shock at this new side of Ebere.

Or maybe it wasn’t new, maybe she had just never seen it before.

“Good,” Ebere said firmly.

“Is there anything else?

I’d like to rest now.” “No, there’s nothing else,” Nnenna replied.

“Goodnight,” Ebere said as she climbed into bed, looking like she would fall asleep immediately.

“Close the door on your way out.” With that final sentence, she pulled her heavy duvet over herself.

Nnenna left the room in a daze.

What just happened?

she wondered as she walked back to her own room.

Inside, Ebere sat up in bed, placing a hand on her forehead.

She had been brave, yes.

But she didn’t know if she could truly endure what was coming, what her brother had threatened her with today.

But she did know one thing She was not going to let go of her relationship with her sister, not after missing out on it for years.

So she would go on with her plan.

She would go on with everything she had said.

And indeed, she was the elder sister in this situation.

She might not be as smart as Nnenna, for now, but she could still make decisions.

Decisions that showed loyalty.

Not weakness.

To her sister.

To herself.

And she would never betray or compromise a relationship with a friend, or anyone she cared about.

No matter the cost.

“Two months.” It was just two more months until school resumed.

How much difficulty would she really have to endure until then?

Two months.

She repeated it to herself over and over as she gradually drifted into sleep.

— Meanwhile, Nnenna returned to her room, still dazed.

But the love system was always useful in snapping her out of it.

“Nnenna!

Do you even realize what you are doing?!” The Love System’s voice rang in her head, full of exasperation and urgency.

Nnenna “..?” “It’s already a week into the new month, and your good points bank is EMPTY.

Like, echoing empty!

Zilch!

Zero!

Zeeerrrrroooooo!” Nnenna winced at the dramatic emphasis.

“Alright, alright, I get it!” she groaned, rubbing her temples.

But the system wasn’t finished.

“I warned you!

I told you not to depend too much on the points you earned from the ball and the aftermath.

Those points barely lasted two months!

And now?

You’ve got nothing.

NOTHING!

If you don’t start ranking up more good points, you might not make it to next month!” That hit her like a punch to the gut.

Nnenna sat up, her sleepiness gone in an instant.

“Wait… If I needed them for something crucial right now, I’d be helpless, right?” “Bingo!” The Love System sounded smug.

“If it wasn’t the king’s time to die, you wouldn’t have been able to save him.

Why?

Because you didn’t have enough good points.

And what if something happens again?

What then?” A chill ran down her spine.

The system was right.

She had gotten careless.
