They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 122: Shut Chapter 122: Shut *smack* The sudden smack on the backs of their heads snapped them out of it.

“What are you waiting for?” the old man scolded, though his voice was light.

“Thank Nnenna!” His words jolted them.

It wasn’t even a harsh reminder, it was just that he, too, was still so shocked that it had taken him this long to say anything.

“Thank you, Nnenna.

But how did you manage to do it?” the brothers asked, feeling like they had a right to know.

Nnenna simply looked at them.

“I can’t tell you that,” she said calmly.

“Just know that after this year, everything will go back to the normal price of 3 million liores.

But by then, the business would have already taken off.” She then turned to the old man.

“Grandpa,” she called, “it’s getting late.

I have to go.” That was when the old man remembered, this was around the same time she had left the previous day.

“Okay, okay,” he said, then suddenly frowned.

“But you haven’t eaten yet.

You should eat first.” Knowing he wouldn’t take no for an answer, Nnenna followed them back to the makeshift shop under the tree and had a meal while the old man’s sons busied themselves moving their things to the new shop.

By the time she was done eating, the sun was already beginning to set.

“Grandpa, I really should head back now,” she informed him.

It was already 5:00 p.m., and she needed to rest a bit before her lesson with Lady Rose.

She helped them move a few more things before finally setting off toward the castle.

As she made her way through the secret passageway, a strange feeling crept up her spine.

It still felt like someone was watching her.

She glanced around but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Maybe it’s just my mind playing tricks on me, she thought, shaking off the unease.
