Episode 3

Sophia held her phone, her mouth slightly open, and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

[The brothers are so handsome!!]

[They look so cool giving me pocket money!]

[Sob... even though I have such good brothers, I have to hurt them. I'm really sorry.]

Her inner voice even had a crying tone: [They are the family members who love me the most.]

The group felt a twinge of sadness as their gazes met.

If Sophia was really being controlled by the system to do those things...

They would forgive her.

[If I can't go back and the system stops coming for me, I'll stay with them through thick and thin. We can convert this money into gold bars. After our family goes bankrupt in a year, we'll still have some money. With my brothers' money-making skills, it's possible to make a comeback. After all, they're very smart and know how to earn money.]

The brothers' lips curved slightly upward.

They had thought she was heartless, but hearing this, she seemed quite conscientious.

[But— after everything I've done to them, they're still giving me money?]

Sophia had a sudden revelation: "Did you buy insurance for me?"

The brothers: "?"

Sophia grew increasingly paranoid: "You're not planning to have me die in an accident, are you? Is that why you're being so nice to me?"

Dominic: "..."

The others: "..."

Indeed, years of estrangement couldn't be fixed overnight.

Third brother, Blake, knocked her head hard: "Shut up, you idiot!"

Finally, the elevator reached the first floor.

Dominic dragged her out of the elevator.

She struggled: "I can walk by myself!"

Dominic ignored her: "Aren't you worried we'll kill you? If I hold onto you, I can protect you if anything happens, then you won't die."

Without thinking, Sophia asked: "Then did you buy insurance for yourself?"

Dominic: "?"

The others: "?"

Just how obsessed is she with insurance!

Dominic was furious and forcefully kept her by his side: "We haven't looked after you for so many years, and you've grown up so strangely. When we get back, I need to thoroughly examine what kind of twisted person you've become."

Sophia: "..."

Because of her many questionable actions, she and her brothers no longer lived together.

In recent years, they had even stopped giving her money.

It was because during New Year's, she had worn a sexy spaghetti strap dress and acted flirtatiously in front of them, angering them so much that they cut off her living expenses and never spent New Year's with her again.

So she only appeared before them when her presence was required.

Because in their eyes, she was a psychotic yandere, they were reluctant to meet with her.

She didn't think she was psychotic; rather, she thought herself clever for gradually understanding the seven brothers' preferences and temperaments under the system's commands.

Whenever it was their birthday, she would precisely give them gifts they liked.

The seven brothers' only reaction to receiving these gifts was being thoroughly creeped out.

Sophia anxiously followed Dominic out of the lobby.

A coquettish crying voice came from another direction: "I said I don't want money! I just want dignity!!!"

Sophia's ears perked up!

[Could this be the female lead who has my seven brothers head over heels?!]

The seven men paused their steps and uniformly looked at Sophia.

Female lead?

Sophia excitedly peered toward the source of the voice. She wanted to run over but noticed her brothers were still beside her, and immediately lost interest.

She had just made a suicide attempt, so they probably wouldn't let her wander off, right?

What if she used her old method?

Sophia's eyes darted around, and she coquettishly clung to Dominic's arm: "Baaaby~ Let me sit with you later!~ Let's get closer!~"

Dominic's face turned ashen as he quickly pulled his arm away: "What are you doing?!"

Sophia couldn't hide the glee in her eyes: "Oh my, since brother doesn't like me touching him, let's go our separate ways then!"

[Hahahahaha I knew this trick would work every time!~]

Dominic: "?"

Sophia ran towards the voice!

[Off to find the female lead!~]

Dominic: "???"

Second brother stood beside Dominic, unable to resist teasing: "Brother, she really has you figured out."

Dominic glared at him with a dark face: "Don't pretend, I don't believe you're not disgusted."

Second brother shrugged: "I actually don't mind it. I quite like it when little sister acts cute with her brothers, but that's acting cute, not deliberately seducing."

Dominic: "..."

Sophia was definitely trying to seduce just now!

The worst part was that she thought seducing him would help her avoid him!

Dominic's gaze grew sharp: "Come on, let's follow her and see."

The brothers walked a few steps and found Sophia eavesdropping.

Sophia was sneakily pressed against the wall, looking like a big toad.

The seven: "...That pose is really unsightly."

[So this is the woman who has my seven brothers completely enchanted?]

The seven: "?"

They decisively joined Sophia in being big toads.

What entered their sight was a playful ponytailed girl, defiantly raising her head to confront a man in a black coat.

The man was quite handsome, surrounded by an unapproachable coldness as he looked down at the female lead condescendingly.

[Looks like this man is the male lead of this novel.]

The seven brothers followed her gaze and were somewhat surprised.

It was actually Adrian?

He was an acquaintance of theirs.

Sophia pouted: [So the male lead looks like this? Not as handsome as my brothers.]

The seven men behind her were stunned, their lips curving slightly upward.

[Now I'm just waiting for the female lead to turn around so I can see what she looks like. That's the face my brothers fell in love with at first sight!]

The men's expressions grew serious as they watched intently.

Finally, the high-ponytailed girl turned her head tearfully, revealing her true appearance.

The girl was quite cute, with tears in her eyes as she bit her lower lip, seemingly trying to swallow her grievances.

But—

The seven: "?"

Is that all?

This type of girl that you can find anywhere on TV made them fall in love at first sight?

This appearance wasn't even half as good as Sophia's.

When Sophia was in school, she was the acknowledged school beauty.

With such a gem before them, how could they possibly fall for the female lead's ordinary looks?

Sixth brother Lucian whispered: "This female lead just has a typical cute Japanese girl look, while Sophia is a beauty who perfectly combines sweetness and allure. What was the author thinking, choosing this ordinary girl as the female lead instead of our sister?"

Fifth brother Ethan said with disdain: "How could Adrian possibly be worthy of Sophia? Unless I'm dead, Adrian won't get to marry my sister!"

The others nodded.

Sophia also nodded: [This female lead has a quality that makes people want to protect and bully her, and her cute sweet appearance is exactly my brothers' type. No wonder they fell in love at first sight.]

The seven men looked at the back of Sophia's head with extreme absurdity.

They did not fall in love at first sight, okay?!

They didn't!!!

Sophia poked her head out a bit further, her eyes lighting up with excitement!

[Oh! The female supporting character is here! My favorite Olivia is here!!]

The seven: "?"

There's also a female supporting character?

And it's Olivia?
