Azura Loomis was still immersed in the words the old man just said: "Your lifespan is halved, and your fortune is entirely gone."
Although she knew she couldn’t compare to her past self without the system, she never imagined that not only her fortune was gone, but even her lifespan was halved!
How could this be?!
However, before she could ask the old man to save her, his final words left her shocked and rooted in place,
"What did you say? Why replace my voice for hers... that’s not allowed!"
Yet the two individuals clearly had no intention of seeking her opinion. Upon hearing this, Ava Zimmerman merely glanced at Azura Loomis and, almost without hesitation, said,
"Fine, then we’ll replace hers."
Anyway, Azura Loomis was just a useless person to her; if no system was needed, Azura had no value to her whatsoever.
Azura Loomis looked at Ava Zimmerman in disbelief.
It wasn’t until she met their cold gazes that she finally realized how dire her situation was.
Shaking her head, she said tremblingly, "No, you can’t do this to me..."
As she spoke, she aimed for the door and suddenly dashed toward it.
These two are monsters!
She had to escape!
She must escape!
The old man watched her actions but didn’t move, only casting a casual glance her way.
Just as Azura Loomis was about to reach the door, it suddenly slammed shut automatically with a bang.
Azura Loomis looked terrified and reached out for the door, but just as she touched the doorknob, she was suddenly enveloped tightly by a mass of Black Mist.
Azura Loomis didn’t even have a chance to struggle or call for help before she was completely swallowed by the Black Mist.
Before losing all consciousness, Azura Loomis couldn’t understand how she ended up in this predicament.
...
Scarlett Jennings woke up early feeling inexplicably stifled in her chest. When she went downstairs, she saw Donovan Jennings alone in the restaurant having breakfast.
According to plan, she intended to go to the Security Bureau after breakfast and then return to the academy.
Scarlett Jennings sat down nearby; Donovan Jennings continued eating, showing no intention of greeting her.
She ignored him, and naturally, he ignored her.
When the butler came over, noticing the somewhat displeased expression on her face, he immediately showed concern,
Scarlett Jennings simply said, "I probably didn’t sleep well last night; I’m feeling a bit tight in the chest."
Saying this, her eyes instinctively glanced beside her to see Donovan Jennings’s reaction.
Yet he continued eating on his own; after hearing she was uncomfortable, he didn’t say a word of concern, nor did he raise an eyebrow. Scarlett Jennings instantly felt even more congested in her chest.
The butler didn’t know how Scarlett Jennings was feeling and asked when he heard her discomfort,
"Would you like to schedule a comprehensive examination at the hospital? Your regular checkup is due soon."
Scarlett Jennings was in a bad mood and responded sharply,
"I won’t die from it; just get the family doctor to come and have a look."
Perhaps her tone was too obvious, Donovan Jennings finally lifted his eyes to look at Scarlett Jennings, yet what he said was,
"If you’re upset over the pursuit order against Azura Loomis, I can’t help you, maybe you should speak to Grandpa."
After speaking, he wiped his mouth and stood up, "I’ve finished eating."
Scarlett Jennings watched him walk away, taking quite a while to realize he was referring to her request yesterday to have Donovan rescind the pursuit order against Azura Loomis.
Immediately, she shouted towards Donovan Jennings’s retreating figure, which was almost out of sight,
