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

Chapter 573: Destroy His Entire Work??

He leaned back, almost laughing at his own frustration. "Yes. We’ll do just that. And when her nonsense becomes too much... we’ll have excuses ready to skip it."

A few of the heads exchanged glances, nodding slowly as the weight of the plan settled over the room.

"What about the nine o’clock meeting she demanded?" Christopher asked, his brow furrowing again just when he thought relief was in sight.

"There won’t be any meeting," Daniel said with a cold laugh. "Who does she think she is, summoning all of us like that? Protocol requires His Highness’s permission, and she clearly didn’t bother. She was too busy... sucking on strawberries." His tone dripped with scorn.

Christopher frowned deeper.

"And if she asks why we didn’t show up?" Elin interjected, her voice calm but edged with warning. "That girl might look harmless, but she’s vicious in subtle ways. She could easily find a quiet method to punish us."

"Then make something up," Daniel snapped, waving it off like it was nothing. "Tell her the rules forbid meetings on that day of the week. Say we forgot to mention it yesterday since she was—" his lips curled in disdain—"too busy eating."

Rick shifted uneasily. "But... won’t she know we’re lying?"

"It’ll be fine," Daniel said sharply. "She doesn’t know the rules yet. There’s no way she’ll catch us in the lie."

One by one, the others nodded, some slower than others, until reluctant agreement spread across the room.
