The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 329 - Mo Li The System Owner?

The progress was a bit fast.

That was what Sienna thought when she saw Grant and Amanda talking seriously. It looked like they were the only ones in the world. She was looking at them from afar as she continued talking to the chairman. "So this woman who tried to blackmail you. Do you know who she is? Any clue?" she said. The chairman of this university just told her that someone is blackmailing him. If he gave Amanda a comfortable life, that person would release his scandalous affairs online.

"No."

"Don\'t worry, I am not going to ask you about your affair. That is none of my business. However, I want you to tell me the details of the blackmail. Everything about it. Give me what you have and how did you know it was a she?"

"The voice." The chairman said. "It was the voice that she was using. It was a female\'s voice. It sounded robotic— a robotic female voice."

"So you\'re not sure if it was a female," she stated.

"Yes. I— I mean— No. I am not so sure about that but I easily assumed it was a female."

"Hmmm… My assistant will help you out. Give her everything that you have on this person."

The chairman nodded as if his life depended on it. "I really didn\'t try to make Amanda\'s life like that. I mean… I have no personal grudge against her. But at the end of the day, it\'s either her… or me."

"Please don\'t be nervous chairman. Again, I have no interest in your affairs. However, I have taken a liking to Amanda. She is a genius at her age. I don\'t want her talents to go to waste." To put it simply, she didn\'t want Amanda to rot in this university. And she knew that the chairman understood that.

"You are planning to— "

"Not me. My brother."

"Ah… I understand."

Sienna nodded. This is the power of money and influence. At least this time, the progress is really good. As long as she finished this world, she could go back to Mo Li and ask him… wait…

Sienna blinked.

Mo Li knew she was Lily.

There is no way that he would know she was Lily unless of course… he also had a system!

Was it possible that it was him? Clearly, he was the one who approached her and helped her. Then, he accompanied her towards the kingdom. They were close and as much as she would like to deny it, Mo Li was slowly affecting her emotions.

Was he really the one that the system mentioned?

\'Robot… was it Mo Li?\' Was it possible that the system pulled her out because he called her… Lily?

[Unfortunately, the system is still trying to figure out the identity of the system user.]

\'Then what do you know right now?\' she asked. Honestly, she felt a little useless right now. She was really clueless. In fact, she didn\'t even know that there were other systems out there.

[Bee knows that the system tried to hide its presence and… it intervened in the host\'s mission]

\'Intervene? What does it mean?\'

[The system changed everything.]

Now, what the hell does that mean?

"Miss Rouse?"

"Yes?" she looked at the chairman. "Did you say something?"

"Ah… I said the program is about to start. Shall we go to the hall now?"

Just as she was about to say yes, her secretary walked next to her and whispered, "Scarlette managed to bribe someone. She is already inside."

Sienna frowned. What a resourceful woman. She expected her not to find ways to get inside but she didn\'t think it would be this quick. She was already inside even before the program started. It seems that she cannot underestimate the woman\'s previous experience.

Now that she thought about it, reincarnators were lucky people. After all, they were given a second chance to live their lives. They should find ways to live it better, right? However, some of them still want to depend on others to be happy, successful, and fulfilled. For some reason, they thought that these things can be found in other people. Wasn\'t that tragic? Anyway, she should just let Scarlette see that the male lead and female lead already knew each other, right?

In that way, she would panic and make mistakes.

And once she made mistakes…

"Alright… let\'s go." Sienna smiled at the chairman.

….

The program started with the introduction of the sponsors, and that would be Sienna Rouse, the CEO of Rouse Technology. At the mention of her name, many people stilled as they couldn\'t believe that someone like her would really visit their school and would even organize an event to give their students opportunities to join Rouse Tech.

At this time, Grant told Sienna that he didn\'t want them to introduce him. He wanted to remain lowkey and just watch on the sidelines.

"Grant!"

Grant turned towards his left. "Scarlette?" Honestly, he wasn\'t surprised to see Scarlette here. After all, he just saw her talking to the guy who was giving problems to Amanda.

"How come you are here?" Scarlette asked. She stood next to Grant, her eyes sharp. It was as if she was looking for something, someone.

"Is there any reason for me not to come here?"

"Ah?"

"I should be the one asking you that question. How come you are here?"

"Oh! I saw the announcement outside and thought that it would be good to check their software too."

Grant nodded without saying anything.

"You are here with Miss Sienna?"

Grant nodded in response.

"Oh! If I had known you would be here, I would have called Hui and the others. You weren\'t answering our calls. Are you alright?"

"The program is starting.." Of course, Grant found a way not to talk to her. In fact, the dynamics of their friendship were always like this. They aren\'t really that close, but people still thought that they were because she was always invited by his friends.

One of the reasons why he stayed away from her is because of what happened in the second year of their university. Someone started a rumor that Scarlette and he were in a secret relationship. Apparently, someone saw him helping her carry her books.

Because of that, someone actually asked him if he liked Scarlette. In response, he just shrugged. Like? That would be a big no. But he didn\'t say it at that time because he honestly thought that it was only a coincidence that Scarlette approached him in the hallway asking him to help her carry her books. After all, she needed to find something in her bag. And he was honestly indifferent about it. He simply didn\'t care.

However, after his sister\'s warning, Grant slowly realized that something is wrong with this woman. Something is definitely wrong with Scarlette.

"Hey… we should go that way. Closer to your sister. Why are you standing at the back when you can just sit next to her?" Scarlette asked. "Ah… I knew it. You are shy, aren\'t you? Come… I will accompany you. Let\'s sit down in the VIP section. Standing here would be tiring." Scarlette tried to hold his arm but he was quick to shake her hand away.

"No need. I want to stay here." Grant said.

"But this is…"

"Scarlette?"

"Huh?"

Grant sighed.. "Will you shut up? I\',m listening to my sister\'s speech."
