Inside her gorgeous and luxurious room. Karen laying on her bed wakes up, trembling with fear and hatred.
Even in another life, they are still able to influence my thoughts and decisions and that nosy little bee, how on earth, did she get so powerful that can surpass the system's strength. There must be someone behind her, I'm sure of it.
They succeeded and they must have been planning for a long time so that they can catch us in one fell swoop. Once the system recovered to its full power. I'll make sure that they will die worse than my death in my past life.
But unknown to Karen, the system she wholeheartedly believes to be powerful, won't be with her anymore.
One Hour Later...
System, system, system! Karen keeps calling the system in her mind but silence is all she received. She began to feel uneasy and panic filled her mind and heart.
Then suddenly, Betty appeared in front of her looking at her with a smile. Seeing her, karen sat on her bed and pointed her finger at Betty and said with hatred, "Why are you here!"
With a caring look on her pretty face, Betty answered with a sarcastic tone," Of course, to check on your well-being. I don't want my beloved friend Karen to be sick and die at a young and beautiful age without Sena and I repaying you, the rewards that you sincerely deserve."
" Don't feel so proud, Betty. Because your triumphant success, won't last long. " Karen said in a threatening tone and a proud face, as if she's certain that Betty's little plans are pointless and useless to her.
Hearing her words, Betty shrugged and said, "Don't worry, Karen. Because, I'll make sure of it, it will last a very long time."
Karen wanted to give Betty a harsh response but a knock on the door interrupted her.
Hearing the noise, they both turned their attention at the door. Outside the door, a young maid anxiously called Karen, "Young Miss, the Master called you at his study."
Noticing Karen silence the maid called out again, "Young miss, Young miss."
She wished in her heart, that Karen would give a response however she's bound to be disappointed because karen would never respond to her words and keep pretending that she never ever heard those words.
As karen continues to ignore her, the Young Maid, left in a hurry to call reinforcement.
Sensing the maid has already left, Karen smiled and looked at Betty, and said, "You're nothing but an ant, Betty."
Hearing those words Betty, walked to karen and gripped her neck and said, " My Beloved Karen, I don't know, if you've ever heard the saying. A tiny ant can kill a large elephant. So don't be overly confident, because your days are already numbered and don't think, you can suppress us just like in the past. Now, we are much more than before. Karen, be ready, be prepared. Because, I'll make sure you won't last long, roaming free."
After betty said those words, she disappeared in a flash. Then, a second after she left, a group of maids, barged in.
Inside, her father's study room. Karen sat opposite of her father and there was no one else but the two of them in the room.
Karen felt the uneasy feeling deep inside her, is growing stronger. Moreover, she felt emotionally weird that something was slipping away from her.
Unknown to her, her instinct is right because something is indeed slipping away from her, such as her hard earned mission and favorability status.
Beyond the Range of the World.
Inside the system space, the system is flying frantically anxious. Seeing the mission and favorability status are getting lower and lower. No matter what string, the system pulled, it was no use and was forced to watch such tragic scene. As time went by, it was still continuously getting lower and lower until it stopped at a pitiful 10 percent.
Meanwhile, the father and daughter looked at each other. The atmosphere between them is nothing like a father and daughter but more like strangers.
"As the years went by, you have grown older, my daughter. I felt that we totally drift apart from each other. The lovely and kind daughter I know has changed." His words broke the silence and Karen looked at him in a daze and thought in her mind. They are similar. They really are..
Noticing his daughter's absent-minded look, he sighed and said, "On the day, I became your father. I promised myself that I will give you a life that is free from financial crisis and raise you with love and kindness. But I failed, I don't know why you become that kind of monster. Maybe it's because i haven't spent enough time with you to notice the changes you turned into. I am a failure as your father and a fool as a mayor."
Karen never uttered a single word, but in her mind....
Heh.. of course I am not the kind daughter you thought I was. Because I have never ever been. Maybe, if I never replace the Real Karen, she would be the one you wish to be. But too bad, I replaced her and you're stuck with me. Most of all, you've never been my father, you're not worthy to be my father, you're just a tool guy.
Despite Karen's pretentious look of being ignorant to his words, and the silence she showed, he clearly saw the contempt hidden in her eyes.
He sighed and said, "The things that you did, have already spread to my ears. You thought you didn't leave a trace but I have all of it, printed in these papers."
His words are like a bomb to Karen because she believes their conversation would just be simple despite the doubts and panic bothering her.
"What...do you..mean. I don't know what you're talking about, Dad. It must be Sena, that girl, remember, she always bullies me because I am her mother and brother's favorite. Dad, the whole city even knows it, she's jealous of me. It must be her!" Karen said with hatred and confidence.
"Enough. My Daughter, don't play dumb, I know you know what I'm talking about. From now, you will not step out of this house. You're grounded ."
His words made karen instantly faint to the ground because, only she knows the seriousness of his words will bring.
if she can't go out and roam around harvesting, mission and favorability points, her mission will fail and she will cease to exist and together with the opportunity to be reborn and get revenge on her past life enemies. All sacrifices she made will be in vain.
Seeing Karen fainted on the ground, he sighed and asked some servants to take her to her bedroom.
Inside Karen bedroom.
Tania, the family doctor, examined Karen. Tania looked at the man beside her and said, "Don't worry, sir. The young miss is healthy and she will wake up tomorrow morning."
Hearing her words, he lightly nodded and said, "Thank you for your service, Ms.Tania."
She nodded to his words and walked towards the door.
Time passed by, a ray of sunlight shined bright, devouring the darkness that occupied the world.
In Karen's bedroom, Karen woke up in daze, she sat on her bed, not knowing what to do. Because when she was unconscious, the system pulled her to the system space to discuss their countermeasure but in the end, they never formulated a plan, and their situation is becoming more serious, their mission and favorability status from 10 percent has declined to a dangerous 6 percent.
Moreover karen knows, she's really in a bad situation. If she won't think of something that can turn around their tragic situation, then she's really over.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Karen's glorious deed of trying to kill sena has spread and her reputation as a girl as kind as an angel, has plummeted.
Unfortunately, her past deeds are not yet totally revealed to the public, if it was, then she has no time to breathe, or currently think of a plan.
In Sena bedroom, ocean and blue is the theme, she lays on her canopy bed, sleeping peacefully without worry.
Then, a man with white silvery hair suddenly appeared beside her bed. Tianyi, looked at her with loving eyes and said in a low voice," Don't worry, my dear, from now on, you won't have sleepless nights because of them."
After he said that, he disappeared. An hour after he left, Sena opened her eyes, not knowing who just secretly visited an hour ago.
She sat on her cozy bed, and looked at the big wide window. Through the window, she gazes at the tranquil lake, and feels the relief she hasn't felt in all the years, she is under karen rule.
A kind of peace she dearly misses, is now in her grasp.
