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

Chapter 256: It Takes One to Know One Chapter 256: It Takes One to Know One She added, her gaze filled with unspoken accusations.

“Indeed, it takes one to know one.” Nnenna’s frown deepened.

That phrase.

It was a direct reference to what had happened the previous day, when she had exposed the pretender.

So that was it.

Madam Young had been holding a grudge against her.

Was it because Lady Chineye hadn’t shown her a favorable face after everything that happened yesterday?

And now, she was shifting the blame onto me just to make herself feel better?

The thought made Nnenna’s blood boil.

She clenched her fists.

This… this was personal.

And yet, despite the unfairness of it all, despite the injustice burning in her chest, a single, bitter thought crept into her mind.

Did she really want to keep working in a place where the manager already hated her?

Where the vice manager was actively out to ruin her?

Where she would always have to watch her back?

But even as the realization settled in, she knew the answer.

She still wanted this job.

Because if she left now, she wouldn’t just be running from Madam Young’s hate, she’d be letting Chinwa win.

And that… was something she refused to do.

“Vice Manager Chinwa,” Nnenna called out, her voice steady despite the storm brewing inside her.

Chinwa, who had been enjoying the chaos she created, turned with a smirk.

She fully expected to see Nnenna looking desperate, maybe even on the verge of tears.

But instead, the girl’s eyes held something else, something unreadable.

“I’d like to talk to you in private,” Nnenna continued, her tone unwavering.

Silence stretched between them.

The request caught the attention of everyone in the room, including Madam Young, who frowned in confusion.

The other staff members exchanged uncertain glances.
