Part 1Saving Lead Two, Then Lead Three

After successfully redeeming the second male lead, I took him away from Kingswood.

Far from the accident-prone, destined-to-ruin-his-family, and castrated female lead.

Yet, later, he abandoned me, laid up in the hospital after a miscarriage, and returned to Kingswood at her single phone call.

He didn’t know that this time, I wouldn’t save him again.

After all, the mission was complete, and I’d received the system’s billion-dollar reward.

To earn more billions, I immediately rushed off to redeem the tragic third male lead.

What can I say? I’m bound to a Redemption System.

The system rules: redeem one tragic male supporting character, and I get a billion dollars.

A person shouldn’t, at least, shouldn't ignore a billion dollars, right?

On the fourth year of redeeming Luke Thompson, he personally held me down on an operating table.

He forced me to abort the child I was carrying, nearly five months along.

I watched him in silence.

Luke awkwardly averted his gaze, too guilty to meet my eyes, yet his words were unyielding:

“Darling, Clara miscarried…”

“If she knew you were carrying my child, she’d be heartbroken.”

“Don’t worry, we’re still young. We can have children later.”

“When I get back from Kingswood, we’ll start fresh, okay?”

“I swear, this is the last time! Just let me help Clara teach James Carter a lesson, help her secure her standing in the Carter family, and I’ll be right back…”

With that, Luke released my hand and left without a backward glance.

The operating room door slammed shut, bringing with it a chill wind that made me shiver.

I sighed deeply, closing my reddened eyes. “Go on, clean it all out!”

Don’t delay my next redemption mission.

After all, redeeming one tragic male supporting character earned me a billion-dollar reward from the system.

A person shouldn’t, at least, shouldn't ignore a billion dollars, right?
