They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 239 - 239 Suspicious Actions

Chapter 239: Suspicious Actions Chapter 239: Suspicious Actions Nnenna nodded and hurried out of the room, relieved.

That was close.

As she walked away, she could still hear the muffled laughter of the three girls behind her.

Well, at least they were not suspicious anymore.

Once she washed the butter off, the first thing Nnenna did was grab a face mask from the store’s supply and put it on.

Then, she headed to the lost and found section and picked up a hat with a wide brim that covered most of her forehead.

By the time she was done, she looked unrecognizable, at least to strangers who had never seen her before.

When she returned, the three women stared at her, clearly taken aback by her sudden change in appearance.

But they did not question it.

As long as she worked hard, it did not matter if she was a little strange.

They had already mentally labeled her as an odd one.

Meanwhile, the arrogant young lady had finished her shopping.

Unable to stay any longer, she left the shop before she could take a picture of the girl she suspected to be the second princess.

But she was not giving up.

Now that she knew where to find her, she planned to return.

That very day, Nnenna officially started work.

She processed payments for customers, both large and small, handling transactions with ease.

But even as she worked, her mind kept drifting back to the conversation she had overheard.

If Princess Ruth’s father really lost his throne, it would be a massive problem for her brother.

Not as devastating as what would happen if it were her first and second brothers, but still serious enough to cause waves.

Would Second Brother lead Lionara’s soldiers to help Purlit, given that their princess was engaged to a prince of Lionara?

And what gave the King of Purlit’s younger brother the audacity to try and usurp the throne when he knew they were about to solidify ties with a powerful, resource rich kingdom like Lionara?

Were they banking on the possibility that Lionara would not intervene since the marriage was not official yet?

Other kingdoms were always looking to strengthen themselves, including theirs.

They would use every means necessary, alliances, trade, and most importantly, marriage.

And now, Princess Ruth being the king’s only child might lose her position as the future queen if her father was dethroned.

Then again, jumping to conclusions wasn’t wise.

There was still time to see how things unfolded.

The power struggle was just beginning, and no one could predict who would emerge victorious.

But Nnenna truly hoped that Princess Ruth’s side would win, because her brother’s engagement was the only one that had happened out of love.

If he lost Ruth, it would crush him.

She didn’t even know why she cared so much about his happiness.

But for some reason, she did.

Despite the thoughts running through her head, she worked efficiently, processing payments so smoothly that the manager came out to supervise and was surprised by how well she handled everything.

Even Lilian, who had hired her on a whim, found herself being praised for bringing in such a capable worker, despite having barely done anything herself.

Ding!

“You are working so well!

You gained 5% favor from both the manager and the customers.

You earned 15 good points!” Nnenna barely spared the notification a glance.

She already knew what it meant, good points were valuable, and she had been trying to earn as many as possible.

They could help her in unexpected ways, so she needed to be strategic.

As she worked, she kept an eye out for more opportunities to gain points.

Observing customers carefully, she noticed patterns, who liked to take their time, who needed assistance, and who was likely to get impatient if ignored.

It was late in the afternoon when she spotted something unusual.

A well dressed lady had just finished selecting her items and stood at one of the checkout counter, torn between two dresses.

She hesitated, clearly unable to decide, while the staff waited patiently.

Beside her stood another young woman, most likely a friend.

Nnenna, who had been watching for ways to earn more points, immediately noticed something off.

While the first lady seemed genuinely focused on choosing, her friend was subtly scanning the store.

It was the way she glanced around, not looking at the dresses but at the employees.

Suspicious.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, the well dressed lady made her decision.

She placed one dress back on the rack and kept the other.

That was when it happened.

Just as she turned to pay, her “friend” swiftly slipped the discarded dress into her bag.

It was done so smoothly that an untrained eye wouldn’t have caught it.

But Nnenna did.

Her instincts kicked in immediately.

This was the perfect chance to earn more good points.

Keeping her expression neutral, she reached for her phone and started recording before the woman could finish her evil job.

If she handled this well, she could stop the theft, protect the store’s reputation, and possibly gain points for good judgment.

The lady at the counter, completely unaware of her friend’s betrayal, handed over her card to pay.

Meanwhile, the so called friend stood beside her, smiling sweetly.

“You have such an amazing fashion sense!

Honestly, I admire you so much.

I wish I could learn from you.” Nnenna fought the urge to scoff.

The fake admiration was sickening.

Here was someone stealing from her own friend while acting like her biggest supporter.

Glancing at her phone screen, Nnenna ensured she had a clear recording.

Now, the only question was, how should she handle this?

If she exposed the thief publicly, she could embarrass both women and cause a scene.

But if she handled it wisely, she might be able to earn even more good points.

She had to think fast.

Nnenna had initially wanted to expose the so called friend immediately, but she held back.
