System Override: Swapping the Cheating Husband for the Psycho Villain Chapter 2

Just then, the front door opened. Carter and Mason walked in.

The moment Mason saw me, he rushed forward to block his father.

"Mom, don't start nagging Dad about the past today! He's exhausted."

Oh, I bet he was.

Stella's divorce had been finalized today, and Carter had spent the entire day helping her move.

Thinking about it, I suddenly burst out laughing.

Carter frowned deeply.

"Serena, what are you laughing at?" His gaze dropped to the cigarette between my fingers.

In my past life, I had never touched a cigarette.

"You know, Carter," I said, crossing my legs and casually blowing a smoke ring. "When I used to read romance novels, I always loved the devoted 'second male lead'."

"But looking back, what is a 'devoted second male lead'? He's just a simp."

I pointed at him with my cigarette, then pointed at Mason. "What I didn't expect was that a simp would raise another simp. Apparently, the trait is genetic."

"What's a simp?" Mason blinked, confused. "Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you calling me a dog?"

"Serena, if you're acting like this because I helped Stella today..." Carter said impatiently. "Why are you so jealous of your own sister? Besides, I spend every day looking for my memories with you. I just wanted one day to rest—"

"You don't need to anymore," I interrupted.

"What?"

I stubbed the cigarette out in a glass of water and slid a stack of papers across the coffee table.

"I've thought it through. If the memories are gone, they're gone. It's no big deal."

"I've already drafted the divorce papers, and I've already lined up my next guy. Let's do each other a favor and just sign. We can be done today."

"What are you saying?" Carter froze.

"Host! Host, calm down! You can't handle Damian Vance! He's a complete psycho! You can't just swap to him!" the System screamed in my ear.

"Yeah, well, I need a psycho," I replied to the System internally.

Otherwise, how was a "vicious supporting character" like me supposed to tear down the Hayes and Davies families?

"Are you saying..." Carter stared at me in absolute disbelief. "You have... someone else?"

He stared blankly, blurting out, "That's impossible."
