Chapter 48: Worst Condition
"Yes, unfortunately, that’s the truth. I’m saying it here because I trust Dapper—and I know he wouldn’t use it against me, right?" Ruth said with a wry smile.
"But I want to ask... if you divorce Dapper, will the condition still remain?" Belinda asked.
"Eh? Why would you ask that? There’s no way I’m divorcing my husband! That condition is vital, and I trust only Dapper. But yes—if we divorce, the condition will break. I would have to marry someone else immediately. So again, no way I’m divorcing my husband, okay?!" Ruth said firmly.
"Okay, okay, haaa... don’t get so defensive. I was just curious," Belinda replied, raising her hands in surrender at Ruth’s intense response.
"Well, my system condition is a little strange... and honestly, I’m embarrassed to say it," Belinda added with an awkward smile.
"Eh, do you think it’s easy for me to tell people I have to nut inside women every day just to stay alive?" Dapper chuckled.
"I bet mine’s even worse," Lena chimed in.
"Sigh... well, my system condition is passive. It fulfills itself. Basically, I have to be a loser, be humiliated, or live in misery. Even if I try to avoid it, the system finds a way to mess up my life. That’s why I can’t run a business properly, sister. It’s also why I got involved with Thiago. Letting him humiliate me was better than losing everything I owned—or worse, seeing you affected. But... I found a loophole. It’s depraved, sure, but it works far better than anything I’ve done before," Belinda confessed.
Everyone’s jaw dropped in surprise.
"So that’s why you couldn’t manage your business?! Now that I think about it, your new online business actually did well while you were with Thiago... but he was way too violent. Now that he’s out of the picture, what’s the loophole?" Ruth asked, still stunned.
"Well..." Belinda mumbled, her eyes darting toward Dapper, her face turning bright red.
