On the way back home, Agatha remained silent. Her mind was filled with various troubling questions. Meanwhile, Steve realized something; from the start, Agatha had been clutching tightly onto the necklace pendant that now adorned her neck in a beautiful loop.‘Does she truly harbor feelings for me?’ Steve mused quietly to himself. ‘Damn it! Here I am, ruminating on trivialities again,’ he chided himself in silence.Midway through their journey, Agatha, who had been silent from the outset, suddenly initiated a conversation. "Steve, where did you get a million dollars to buy this necklace?"Steve Hart paused for a moment, unsure how to explain. Even if he tried to convey the intricacies of his system to Agatha, he was certain she'd deem him insane."For now, I can't delve into the details. But rest assured, I've never engaged in anything criminal to earn money," Steve replied vaguely.Agatha furrowed her brow, compelling Steve to sense the need for a more detailed explanation.Rubbing h
Steve Hart continued to read the newly opened feature. Right in front of him was the name of the feature, and Steve was somewhat puzzled by it.[Incident Recorder Feature:-Incidents inside the bar Price: 1 million dollars-Incidents near the Cattegirn family residence Price: 1 million dollars]‘System, what does this feature mean?’ murmured Steve Hart.[The Incident Recorder Feature allows the system to record incidents experienced by the Host, similar to CCTV; the recorded footage will be sent to the Host's phone after purchase.]Steve Hart looked at the message, without hesitation, and immediately purchased two recordings from the feature. "Alright, I want to buy it."[Ding!][Purchase Processed][Balance Deducted][Purchase Successful, incident recordings will be sent to the Host's phone...][Ding!][Video recordings have been successfully sent to the Host's phone!]Steve Hart immediately checked his phone as a message arrived. Opening the message, it contained video recordings of
Upon hearing that Steve had something to prove his innocence, Agatha breathed a sigh of relief, but not Olivia."Trash, stop acting up and just follow the arrest procedure! I can't wait to see you in jail!" exclaimed Olivia Cattegirn, feeling this was her chance to distance Agatha from the useless man that was Steve."Mother-in-law, I'm still your son-in-law. How could you say something like that?" asked Steve Hart, feeling his mother-in-law had crossed a line."Which mother in this world would want her daughter to marry someone like you? It's better for you to rot in jail so my daughter can have a brighter future!"Steve Hart sighed deeply, realizing that was the reason Olivia wanted to see him arrested. Because of this, he became more determined to turn the situation around.'Is the bright future she mentioned for Agatha to live with that damn guy?' thought Steve, glancing slightly towards Eric Daran.At this moment, Steve wanted to show Olivia how despicable Eric Daran's behavior t
Steve Hart carried on with his life as usual after Eric Daran's arrest. Despite Eric being found guilty, due to the Daran family's influence, Eric Daram only received a few months in prison.Steve didn't dwell on it much; in fact, he felt it was enough, sparing him from enduring Eric's irritating behavior for the coming months. If Eric dared to trouble him again, Steve vowed to find a way to prevent Eric from leveraging his family's privilege.That evening, after finishing his household chores, Steve was about to rest in his room when Agatha, who had been avoiding conversations and seemed distant lately, suddenly approached him."What's up, Agatha?" Steve asked.Agatha seemed taken aback, not used to Steve addressing her by name without her usual title."Get ready, we're going out together tonight," Agatha said.Steve raised an eyebrow. "Where will we go?""Our high school reunion. Don't tell me you didn't know that agenda?" Agatha seemed incredulous.Steve shook his head. Since gradu
Geran smiled broadly after successfully humiliating Steve in front of many people; this was part of his plan from the beginning."Hey, do you all know what this loser has been doing all this time?" Gerran asked everyone present.Steve Hart looked sharply at Gerran, curious about what Gerran was planning this time."This loser has been secretly observing Agatha. I suspect he's here just to stalk Agatha," Gerran stated.Everyone there immediately looked at Steve Hart with disgust, thinking he was shameless for doing something like that."Damn, it's been years, but this loser still hasn't changed.""Changed? How can you even think something like that could happen to him? Instead of changing, I'm sure his loser mentality has gotten worse," Gerran sneered.Steve Hart gritted his teeth, everyone there was busy mocking him without considering if it hurt him or not. Moreover, everything Gerran accused Steve of had no evidence.Steve Hart didn't feel guilty for watching Agatha; he thought it w
Gerran was taken aback, unable to comprehend why Agatha was suddenly angry with him.He believed he'd done the right thing by keeping Steve away from Agatha, so he was puzzled as to why she seemed upset with him about it."Agatha, what do you mean?" Gerran inquired."Stop pretending like you care about me, that's what I mean," Agatha replied curtly.Frowning, Gerran shifted his gaze towards Steve this time. Steve smirked sardonically, quite pleased with Gerran's confused reaction."What's that smirk for, loser?" Gerran questioned, his irritation evident.Steve chose to remain silent, opting to let Gerran interpret the meaning behind his smirk on his own."Are you under the impression that Agatha is on your side? Stop dreaming. Her words just now were probably a misunderstanding," Gerran asserted, still convinced that Agatha didn't mean what she said.Agatha sighed in frustration, utterly annoyed that Gerran hadn't grasped her intent yet."Hey, can you stop bothering Steve? Stop protec
“What?!” Gerran's body stiffened instantly. 'What did I just hear?' his mind still in a state of disbelief.'Agatha referred to Steve as 'my husband'? What does that mean?' Gerran was stunned, unable to believe it. He quickly retracted his hand, feeling both drained and shocked."Your husband? Is this loser your husband, Agatha? Please don't joke around in such a serious situation. Look, my hands are almost trembling," Gerran asked incredulously.All the guests in that place were just as shocked as Gerran. Steve they remembered was merely a poor young man with nothing. They couldn't imagine him marrying a beauty goddess from the wealthy Cattegirn family like Agatha. Let alone marrying Agatha, they thought Steve wouldn't be able to have a girlfriend.“She must be joking!” someone murmured in disbelieve.Seeing all the people there expressed a disbelieve expression, Steve spoke in a sardonic voice, "Gerran, don't you see how serious Agatha was in scolding you? Only a fool would think Ag
At that moment, Steve Hart had been in the car on the way home with Agatha. Both remained silent as they felt awkward around each other after the incident at the reunion event. It was the first time Agatha had publicly declared Steve as her husband.On one hand, Steve felt proud of Agatha's action. But on the other hand, he felt awkward and conflicted. Not just Steve, Agatha also seemed uneasy and confused throughout their journey home. Several times, Agatha seemed to want to start a conversation, but at the same time, she held back the words she almost uttered.‘Ah, wasn't there a system notification earlier mentioning that I had successfully unlocked a new feature?’ Steve mused as he recalled a recent system notification that had appeared in his field of view.The system informed him that he had just successfully unlocked a new feature. He actually wanted to check out the new feature immediately, but because Agatha was beside him, Steve abandoned that intention. He worried that perh
