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

Chapter 28: Words Are Weapons

The system sighed tically, as if disappointed by her insistence. "Fine. Task initiated."

Ding!

A notification chimed, and the system continued

"In a multitude of words, there is definitely one wrong one. Sometimes, it's best to remain silent."

A subtle pause followed before another chechoed

"150 good points deducted."

Nnenna barely flinched at the loss of points. It was worth it. She glanced at Ebere, whose smug demeanor didn't

waver, completely unaware of the invisible strings now working on her.

A small, satisfied smile tugged at Nnenna's lips. "You talk too much, Ebere,' she thought inwardly, her composure

remaining flawlessly serene.

The others in the room noticed her slight change in expression but brushed it off, assuming it to be her natural

reaction to her "sister's" relentless chatter.

Meanwhile, the mechanism she had just set in motion was already beginning to unfold.

Barely a minute after Nnenna activated the system's feature, Ebere, who had been speaking confidently and

almost condescendingly, suddenly paused mid sentence.

Her expression twisted into one of confusion, as if her mind was suddenly at odds with her mouth. She opened

her lips to continue, but no words cout.

Ebere stood there, stunned, her usual smug demeanor faltering. For sinexplicable reason, a strange,

gnawing hesitation overtook her.

Every tshe tried to utter another scathing remark about her adopted sister, a sharp pang of discomfort

gripped her chest. It wasn't just emotional, it was psychological.

Her hand moved subconsciously to her heart as if to soothe an invisible ache. 'What is this?' she thought

frantically.

The room grew eerily quiet as everyone observed the sudden shift. The queen furrowed her brows, clearly

perturbed by her daughter's silence.

Chidera tilted his head, his sharp gaze narrowing slightly as if trying to decipher what had just transpired.

Ebere's internal turmoil deepened. A peculiar realization hit her like a wave, her cruel words, for the first tin

her life, felt like weapons.

They didn't just harm others; they seemed to backfire directly onto her, piercing her own heart with an intensity

she couldn't understand.

She clenched her fists, her pride unwilling to let her falter completely, but something deeper within her

whispered for her to stop. Unable to push forward with her usual venom, she reluctantly fell into silence.

Nnenna watched the scene unfold with quiet satisfaction. The corner of her lips twitched upward in a barely

there smile.

Ebere's confusion and discomfort were almost too entertaining to witness, but Nnenna kept her face neutral,

masking her amusement.

The queen, meanwhile, grew increasingly suspicious. Her sharp eyes darted between her children, frustration

bubbling beneath her composed exterior.

'What is wrong with these children today?’ She thought angrily. ‘First Obinna, then Chidera, and now Ebere. Why

can't they put this country bumpkin in her place?"

But no one dared to voice their thoughts, and the silence stretched on, tension thickening in the room.

Abuchi couldn't suppress the smug smirk creeping onto his face. Watching his siblings falter and fail to humble

Nnenna only amused him further.

'Do | have to do everything myself?’ he thought with disdain, stepping forward to take the reins of the situation.

"Nnenna," he began, his tone dripping with condescension, "don't get the wrong idea. The only reason we're

here is because our eldest brother insisted on this visit. Don't think for a second that anyone here actually

wanted to see you."

His words were sharp, each one laced with enough venom to pierce through any semblance of goodwill. He

continued, his voice growing louder as though wanting to ensure everyone in the room understood his message

clearly.

"No one here has any intention of suddenly liking you. This visit isn't about you; it's about fulfilling our so called

righteousness as a family. So don't let it go to your head."

The atmosphere in the room grew heavier with each word, the weight of his disdain unmistakable. He took a step

closer, sneering at Nnenna as though her mere presence offended him.

"Now that we've done our duty, | think it's twe leave," he said, waving dismissively at the others as if

commanding their departure.

"Honestly, you should just stay here as long as you can. The castle has been so much more beautiful since you

left."

The final blow cswiftly. "Your face," he said, his lips curling into a cruel smirk, "is nothing but an eyesore. No

one misses it."

Nnenna sat quietly, her expression unreadable as she watched Abuchi deliver his tirade.

Despite his cruel words, there was a flicker of amusement in her eyes, but she remained composed, letting the

silence stretch after his outburst.

Abuchi's smirk grew wider, mistaking her silence for defeat. But deep inside, he didn't notice the shift in the

room.

His siblings exchanged uneasy glances, realizing he had done what they couldn't do no matter how hard they

tried.

To her, Abuchi's sharp words restored a sense of normalcy, a reassurance that at least one of her children still

held their disdain for this "attachment" they called a sister.

Abuchi's cruel words hit Nnenna like a slap. They stung deeply, reigniting the fire of rebellion in her heart.

Her fingers clenched the sheets as her initial reaction was to retaliate, but just as her emotions surged, the

familiar chof the Love System resonated in her mind.

The Love System spoke again, its voice firmer this time, as though trying to drill its point into Nnenna's stubborn

mind.
