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

Chapter 342

Chapter 341: Deep Feelings

But her words didn’t help. Instead, her actions pushed them further away.

She let her dislike for Nnenna than ever, loud, clear, and unfiltered. She told herself it was a strategy, another excuse, a cover up. But part of her wasn’t sure anymore.

They all thought she was being unreasonable. That she was jealous, petty, or just scared. In truth, she was none of those things, or maybe all of them.

She wanted them to see the truth. That she had made a huge sacrifice. That she was the one trying to save them from death. But she couldn’t say a word about the deal. Couldn’t reveal what the man had told her.

She would never be exposed.

But promises like that… don’t always last forever.
