Chapter 118
“She’s proven her innocence with her death, I believe her! Shouldn’t we investigate this further?”
Other reporters and viewers in the livestream also expressed their support.
“I don’t believe a person would lie right before death, especially since she’s a woman. How could she have any thoughts about those barbaric men from such a savage place?”
“Exactly! She’s a rich young lady, what kind of top–tier men could she not have? Why would she need to associate with those men?“}]
“I support a thorough investigation into this case!”
***
Daisy was still saved due to the protagonist’s halo.
The police took Nick and Gerald away. Their plan had been too rushed, full of loopholes and it was quickly uncovered.
It turned out that it wasn’t Daisy who had contacted the black men, but rather Nick and Gerald.
The head of security also admitted to being bribed by the two of them and almost committing perjury.”
Both I and Daisy were ultimately harmed by Nick and Gerald.§
From that point on, everyone cursed them as beasts and even threw rotten eggs at them during the trial.
But neither Nick nor Gerald seemed to care.
“System, there’s only half an hour left until the plot resets. Do you think Luna will see that we avenged her?“}
We already know our mistakes. If we start over, will she forgive us and give us a chance to make amends?“>
The two were anxious, but the system coldly responded. [Until the last moment, you will not see her.]
The court delivered its verdict. The two were convicted of intentional harm and kidnapping, resulting in one death and one severe injury.
Their actions were deemed particularly severe, with cruel methods and they were sentenced to death.
At the moment the verdict was announced, neither Nick nor Gerald showed much reaction.
They just stared at the clock in the courtroom, silently counting down to the plot reset.
3, 2, 1…
The moment the clock struck, the two were filled with excitement.”
“System, it’s time now. Can you tell us what’s going to happen?“>
The response they received was the cold, mechanical voice of the system.
[Host, I just received notification that due to the complaint of the previously deceased protagonist, the Heavenly Law has decided not to reset the plot.]}
[Furthermore, the current female lead is still alive and the plot will continue to unfold…]}
Nick and Gerald were immediately stunned into silence.}
“But we’ve both been sentenced to death… Does this mean we’ll really die like this?“}
The system responded coldly, [Yes. Unless the protagonist withdraws the complaint within three minutes, you will both die.]
“Luna! You can hear us now, right? After the plot resets, we will treat you even better and we won’t let you suffer a single bit of harm. Please withdraw the complaint, okay?“D
Nick and Gerald anxiously called out in their hearts.
I let out a cold laugh and responded to them. [You still don’t realize your mistakes. Everything that happened was your own doing. something you forced onto me and Daisy!]}
[You killed me, almost killed Daisy and now you want a do–over? Dream on!]}
After saying these words, I followed the system into the next world.”
Nick and Gerald’s pleas and cries for help grew fainter and fainter.
Just before I entered the next world, the system handed me a few video clips to watch.
In the footage, Nick and Gerald were executed by firing squad, dying a brutal death with their eyes wide open in unwillingness. Meanwhile, under the care of doctors, Daisy recovered quickly. She didn’t collect the bodies of the two men.
Instead, she came with a bouquet of fresh flowers to my grave, bowed deeply and apologized, “Luna, I was immature. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have fought with you over the affection of those two worthless men. It’s my fault you died. I’m sorry.”
Crystal–clear tears slid down her cheeks, falling onto the petals and glistening under the light.
tresponded softly. [It’s not your fault. I was simply too disappointed in them… so I chose to end it. Just live well from now on.]
At the moment Daisy looked up in surprise, I entered the new world.
This new world was wonderful. Not long after, the system brought me news.
Daisy, in that world, had donated the entire Helmes Group’s assets to the Women and Children’s Foundation.
After experiencing such torment and betrayal, she no longer trusted any man.
Instead, she devoted herself to public welfare and became a true leading woman, a heroine in her own right. As for me, I was about to begin my own journey as a powerful female lead.
