The Hundred-Million Dollar Redemption Chapter 2

I reacted instantly, covering my face quickly, not forgetting to act. "I'm so scared." "It's okay." Julian sat up, rubbed my hair, and slowly untied the rope on his feet. "I think there's been a misunderstanding." Actually, there was no misunderstanding.

The reporters were driven away. Julian faced the police alone. "This is my girlfriend. We usually play like this." I sat in the back nodding furiously, chiming in, "Right, so what about my door?" Sadly, no one paid attention to me. "Your stepmother called the police, saying you were kidnapped by a gang of bandits." The young and beautiful stepmother looked guilty. "Julian, I thought you were kidnapped, so I called the police." Julian sneered. "Then I should thank you for caring about me so much."

Zero people care about my silently deceased door? I rent this place! And I am absolutely not paying to fix the door. I quickly got up, grabbed Julian's arm, and said sweetly, "Auntie, then you have to pay for the door. You wasted police resources and trespassed on private property. But considering your age, I won't hold it against you. Just pay me some emotional damage fees and repair costs." Julian's stepmother froze, looking helplessly at Julian, tears welling up again. "Julian, I..."

Don't even think about using relationships to get out of paying! I interrupted her quickly, stopping her pitiful act. "Auntie, don't worry, we're family. I won't scam you. You're a decent person; you'd be unhappy if I didn't let you pay. Ju-Ju said you've always been generous." "Ju-Ju?" Julian's stepmother seemed unable to believe her ears. Julian also looked at me. I held his arm tightly to prevent him from turning hostile. "Yes, that's my nickname for him. Calling him Julian feels so distant. Don't you think Ju-Ju is catchy and positive?" She wanted to say something else, but I didn't give her the chance. I decisively pulled out my phone and opened my QR code. "Let's add each other on WeChat, and you can transfer the money to me." She looked at Julian, then at me, and finally silently added me.

"Taking classes for him? Taking exams? Picking up delivery?" She looked at me with a complicated expression. "Does Julian not spend money on you?" I said righteously, "We have a pure physical relationship." Julian's stepmother didn't say a word and turned to leave. I didn't forget to remind her, "Remember to transfer the money, Auntie!" Hearing this, the stepmother paused, then immediately transferred five thousand dollars. Wow! Rich people are generous! I gave a thumbs up and said sincerely, "Ju-Ju, your stepmom is a great philanthropist."

Julian stared at me for a while, then suddenly smirked. His handsome face coupled with that soul-snatching smile made it hard to look away, but I sensed a hint of danger. "Since we've met the parents, why don't you come home with me?" I wanted to refuse, but his words were full of threats. "Do you want people to think you're really a kidnapper?" Considering the police officer was still there, I swallowed my curses and smiled. "Sure, I'd love to."

Julian handed over the aftermath to someone else and prepared to take me home. I asked him to wait while I packed. I picked up my pot. Julian stood behind me. "Put it down." Fine. Then I'll take my fan. Julian said coldly, "Put it down." I tentatively picked up the desk lamp. He was like a repeater. "Put it down." Can't take this, can't take that! I turned around angrily, about to curse him out. Julian seemed to predict my move. "I'll transfer you ten thousand later. Don't take anything, okay?" I instantly softened, grinning. "Okay."

Sitting in Julian's luxury car, I held my broken phone, grinning from ear to ear. I made fifteen thousand in just one day. Anyone would say I have a good life. Julian closed his eyes and suddenly asked, "What did you mean by that System you mentioned?" "Just what it means." I was busy buying a new phone and didn't have time for him. He paused and asked again, "What's your name?" "Chloe. Chloe Fang." He asked again, "How many people in your family?" I was getting impatient. "I'm an orphan." "In college?" Julian opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow. "Yeah." I said seriously, "I have to remind you, your whereabouts are very easy to track. Why were you sleeping on the roof for no reason? It's dangerous. If someone wanted to kill you, they could have just thrown you off." Julian stared at me indifferently. "Then why didn't you throw me off?" I quickly cleared my name. "Hey, watch your words. I'm not a psychopathic killer. I just wanted to redeem you." "Redeem?" He smirked. "Are you going to redeem me in the future too?" I clasped my hands together, devout and serious. "Actually, I support you destroying the world. After I finish spending this fifteen thousand, can you blow up the world? I don't want to face the life of a broke person anymore."

Julian raised an eyebrow. "I will destroy the world in the future?" So he doesn't want to destroy the world yet? I called the money-losing System in my mind. "Come out! What now? What do I say?" The System was silent. He was staring at me with those clear, dark peach blossom eyes. I laughed awkwardly and explained, "No, I was talking nonsense." He smiled without speaking. The more Julian smiled, the more panicked I got. I pleaded earnestly, "Why do you want to destroy the world? There's no reason, Ju-Ju. Don't you think I just love talking nonsense? Actually, I'm mentally ill. Don't believe me, okay?"

"No." He sat up straight, half-smiling. "Starting now, I want to destroy the world." I suspect this kid is targeting me on purpose. I darkened my face and threatened him half-heartedly, "If you want to destroy the world because of one sentence from me, then I'll have to redeem you. From now on, I will haunt you like a ghost and make you fall in love with me." The car slowly stopped. Before getting out, Julian chuckled low in my ear. "It's okay, take your time." "Maybe you won't live to see that time."

He is definitely targeting me. With that, he turned to get out of the car. I gritted my teeth with hatred and kicked his raised butt. Get down. Julian was kicked out, stumbled, and almost fell flat on his face. "Ah, baby, I'm so sorry." I quickly got out to help him up, patting his butt. Julian's face was iron green, but I smiled cheerfully. "I didn't mean to. You surely won't be mad at me, right?" The Sterling family butler came out to greet us. A smile appeared on Julian's face. He reached out and pinched my cheek hard. "How could I be mad at you? Baby, you are so cute. So cute I really want to strangle you." I was in pain but couldn't scream. I could only look at him with a smile, reaching out to pinch his cheek just as hard. I said sweetly, "Baby, actually, I love you so much I want to strangle you too."
