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

Chapter 232: I’ll Learn to Survive From Her Chapter 232: I’ll Learn to Survive From Her Obinna’s face was a storm of emotions, anger, disbelief, maybe even guilt.

But Ebere didn’t care.

She refused to let Nnenna be defamed.

Not after everything she had been through.

“Didn’t you hear everything that was said?!” Obinna’s voice was sharp, cutting through the tense air of the chamber.

“Father said it himself, the person closest to them in his final moments heard it, he said, ‘I love her, I love her.’ Doesn’t that tell you something?

Doesn’t that mean she must have found a way to either seduce Father or manipulate someone into doing it for her?” His eyes burned with fury as he glared at Ebere.

“I do not care what you think.

The only reason I called you here was to warn you, stay away from her.” Ebere stood frozen for a moment, disbelief washing over her.

Then, her expression hardened.

“Thank you for your warning, Second Brother,” she said evenly.

“But I’m not going to stay away from her.” She stepped forward, voice unwavering.

“Nnenna is a good person.

Just because you refuse to see it doesn’t mean it’s not true.

I won’t abandon her simply because you want me to.

In fact, she belongs here even more than any of us.” Obinna’s hands clenched into fists, his knuckles whitening.

“I am your king, and you will obey me,” he thundered, slamming a hand against the papers on his desk.

Ebere tilted her head slightly, a small, knowing smile playing at her lips.

“Yes, you are the king… but don’t forget, you’re only the interim king.” Her voice dropped to a deadly calm.

“The moment Big Brother returns, you’ll have to step down.

And until then, you cannot command me.” Silence stretched between them like a taut wire.
