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

Chapter 174: Interrogation Chapter 174: Interrogation “How did you learn these things?” he finally asked.

His voice wasn’t demanding, nor was it laced with suspicion.

No, this wasn’t an interrogation, it was genuine curiosity.

And from the looks on their faces, the rest of the family was just as eager to hear her answer.

“A friend taught me,” Nnenna said simply.

“A friend?” King Ikechukwu’s brows furrowed.

Ebere scoffed.

“What friend do you have in this kingdom that could possibly teach you all that?

Even Lady Rose, who trained me and is leagues ahead of your so called friend, couldn’t make me win first place after years of lessons.” She narrowed her eyes.

“Who is this friend?” There was venom in her tone, a silent threat.

The moment she found out, she would make sure that person regretted ever helping Nnenna.

But Nnenna only smiled, unfazed.

How foolish did Ebere think she was?

Did she really expect her to reveal the identity of someone who had cared for her, who had given her the skills to stand where she was now?

“It’s a friend,” she repeated calmly, her voice laced with quiet amusement.

“And you don’t need to know who they are.” Ebere “…” Ebere turned to their father, frustration evident in her face.

“Father!

Do you see how she’s speaking to me?

I just want to know who this person is so we can thank them properly.” She put on an innocent act, her voice laced with false sweetness.

“And also… to understand why this person didn’t think to teach the rest of us as well.
