Chapter 404
Following the incident at the Cloudland Winery press conference, Lydia became the target of widespread online outrage. She hadn’t dared to leave her room for days. But when she received a message from Emily, she had no choice but to step
outside.
When Lydia entered the private room, she took off her hat and mask and asked in a pretentious tone, “What did you want to
see me about?”
Emily had had enough of Lydia’s phony act. She didn’t even bother with pleasantries. “There’s something I think you’ll be very interested in,” she said. Then she turned the tablet around and hit play, letting Lydia watch the video.
It was obvious Lydia already knew about the video. Her face changed the instant it started playing.
When she saw herself at the end, actually saying the word “system” out loud, Lydia completely lost her composure. She suddenly swiped the tablet off the table, sending it crashing to the floor..
“It’s all fake. None of this is real!” Lydia yelled.
But if it were fake, Lydia wouldn’t be freaking out like this.
Emily just smiled, “So, you are a wandering soul from another world and not the real Lydia at all?”
Lydia couldn’t even look Emily in the eye. She answered, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Emily pressed further, “So to you, the whole world is just a book, and I’m the heroine of your story, is that it?
