Chapter 2

Chapter 2

When Greg was fifteen, he was kidnapped, and it was Daniela who saved him. Her inner thigh was brutally torn by long nails as she climbed over a wall. This incident forged a bond between them, and from fifteen to eighteen, they became pen pals for three years.

At eighteen, Daniela was admitted to Ledrora University, moving from a small town to be by Greg, the heir of the Hewitt family. Their relationship was great until they broke up after graduation. Greg, the arrogant golden boy, kept his distance from other girls for Daniela and was always there when she called. Daniela, self-conscious about the scar on her leg, refused to be intimate with him, and he patiently waited, remaining patient for four years. Everyone said the heir had fallen hard.

Greg didn't care; he focused on studying with Daniela, correcting her pronunciation word by word, and eagerly awaited the day they could study abroad together. If he liked Daniela so much, why did he break up with her?

The system, acting like Orion, screamed, "Because Greg found another woman!"

What?!

My perfect gentleman had been turned into a scumbag?

Fuming, I slapped the handsome face beside me.

Greg woke up, his usually composed face showing rare confusion.

"Did you just hit me?" he asked, uncertain.

I sneered, "You cheated on me."

He was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes as if he had thought of something.

"Four years, and you're only confronting me now?"

I got out of bed, casually picking up a robe from the floor. "It's never too late to confront a jerk."

He gritted his teeth. "You didn't say that when you were enjoying yourself earlier."

I lit a cigarette from my bag. "Now that I'm done, you can leave."

He looked at me, a bit lost. "When did you learn to smoke?"

I exhaled a puff of smoke. "I told you, you pick up all sorts of habits abroad."

Thin wisps of smoke curled from my fingers as I opened the door.

"Go."

Greg pursed his lips, his dark eyes showing an unreadable expression. He got out of bed, dressed slowly, and walked out, fastening his watch.

I watched his perfect physique, sighing inwardly. Such an excellent body, wasted on such a lowly act. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep with him again. I wondered about Austin. They were twins; he couldn't be that different, right?

Greg suddenly stopped beside me, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Ryann and I aren't what you think..."

I was about to tell him to leave again when the system weakly said, "Greg isn't exactly a scumbag... He was deceived by Ryann... They weren't really together..."

Me: ???

I mentally screamed, "Why didn't you say anything earlier?! Why did you go mute halfway through?!"

Orion started whimpering, "You were so fierce just now, you scared me! Wah!"

I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead. Such a handsome guy, ruined by the system.

Greg, seeing my silence, was also a bit angry. "I didn't do anything to wrong you, and you have no right to question me."

"Liar."

With that, he left quickly, his back radiating anger.

Liar.

This was the second time he had called me that tonight.

I asked the system, "What exactly did I lie to him about?"

The system sighed. "It's all that woman's doing."

"Ryann, who looks almost exactly like you."

"She has that scar on her leg."

Ryann was a character added by the rewriter. She completely replaced Daniela as the female lead. She cunningly transferred all of Daniela's deeds to herself, claiming she was the one who saved Greg from the kidnappers and corresponded with him for three years. Daniela was portrayed as the daughter of a maid, who, seeing Greg as a wealthy young master, had sinister intentions and stole the letters to take her place. Even the four years of refusing intimacy were twisted into her fearing Greg would discover she had no scar.

Ryann became the innocent woman who didn't want to cling to the heir but couldn't bear to see Greg deceived, so she had to step forward. Such a clumsy lie, yet no one doubted it. She won Ramona's favor and was seen as the future daughter-in-law of the Hewitt family. The rewriter completely ignored the plot logic and character settings, all to elevate Ryann by stepping on the female lead.

I sneered. The rewriter was probably an obsessive fan of Greg, inserting herself into Ryann's role to forcibly snatch him from the female lead. Even more ridiculous, Ryann stirred up conflict between the twins. The system said that the Hewitt brothers' relationship had deteriorated over the years because of Ryann.

Originally, the brotherly bond between Greg and Austin and their emotional ties with Daniela were major selling points of the novel. But now, the two male leads had been turned into jealous idiots whenever they met.

I rolled my eyes. Obsessive fan, she wouldn't get either of the men. If she couldn't continue my sweet story properly, she'd watch me turn it into a dramatic one.

After the system fed me the plot information, I took a quick nap. When I woke up, I received a text from Greg, awkwardly inviting me to a yacht party with familiar friends who wanted to see me.

I dressed up elegantly for the occasion. Underneath a pure white dress was a sexy bikini. Thinking about Greg's reaction when he saw the bikini made my legs feel weak. That brat would be happy again tonight.

Until I boarded the yacht and saw a face almost identical to mine, wearing the same white dress.

My smile instantly disappeared.

I never thought such a perfect face could look so infuriating.
