Miss Nobody Is Taking A Backfire
Chapter 2 Mutual Use (Part One)

Shirley couldn't help but pity the supporting lead. Seeing this, she decided to tell him the truth. "I went to replace Damon, but then I was misunderstood by Karla. Damon hurried to explain to her, and then he hit me! When I woke up in the hospital, he told me that I hit the car on purpose, when I didn't! You know what? I don't even want to talk about it anymore," she stated. The more she talked, the more upset she felt. Now that she was in Level 1, it would be harder for her to upgrade in the future.

When would she be able to go home? Would she even go home?

"Are you sure it's a misunderstanding?" Samuel finally put down the newspaper he was holding and stood up. He walked over to Shirley, cornering her. His dark eyes were as cold as night.

"You don't love me, and I don't love you. Why are you asking so many questions?" As soon as she finished, Shirley could feel her heart tightening at the sight of his narrowed eyes. Suddenly, she wanted to take back everything she had said.

"You're my wife. Shouldn't I be asking why you're seducing my brother?" Samuel seized her by the neck. "In fact, you have the audacity to cheat on me so openly. How dare you?"

"..."

"Don't forget why you're here. Damon loves Karla, not you. If you were half as kind-hearted as that woman, you wouldn't even be in this situation," Samuel sneered. Upon hearing his words, Shirley clenched her fists.

Kind-hearted? That woman was kind-hearted? Karla was a bitch who wanted to bring her to her deathbed! In fact, that self-piteous woman was going to be the death of her. Shirley felt blood surging through her veins, as she had the urge to laugh at everything he had said. In the novel, everyone thought that Karla was the kindest human being in the universe. Not only was she innocent and lovely, but she was also incredibly beautiful.

A sense of powerlessness made Shirley even angrier.

If such a woman would've been born into the real world, she would've already been trampled on the amount of people she had pissed off! She wouldn't go anywhere in life.

"I'll keep that in mind." Shirley raised the corners of her lips and bravely brought herself to look into the man's eyes. "If that's the case, then I hope you don't forget who you are as well. You're just an adopted son of the Ji Family. No matter what you do, no one would even remember you. You think you're trying to help them, but you're simply helping the enemy. You're nothing but a self-righteous idiot!" Samuel was immediately irritated by her words.

He threw her onto the wide sofa and towered over her. "What the hell did you say?"

"Oh, what a pity. You'll know it one day." Staring into his angry eyes, Shirley grew even braver. Her only task was to reach the full level. She couldn't care less if this man was alive or dead by the end of it. Samuel grabbed her neck and forced her closer. His voice was cold enough to freeze her over. "Are you asking for death?"

"I just-"

Before Shirley could finish, he bit hard on her thin lips. Her skin broke from the pressure as the smell of blood wafted around her. She tried to push him away as tears ran down her cheeks, but Samuel forced himself against her.

His lips against hers was enough to make her suffocate. In all her life, she had never met such a domineering man like Samuel. When he threw her onto the bed, panic and fear rushed through her system. Shirley whimpered under his grip. "Samuel!" She hit him against the chest. "I love Damon! You're nothing but a dog for the Ji Family, right? And you think you can fuck his ex-fiance? Get a grip!" She could see the anger and pain hidden inside the depths of his gaze, but in a second, they were gone.

"Fuck off!"

Regardless of her injury, the man threw her out of the bedroom.

In the next few days, Shirley would stay at home to recover from her injuries.

She had just married Samuel, and the two of them felt nothing for each other. The only reason they got married was because he needed a wife. She only married him because she wanted to take avenge herself.

In short, they were simply using one another. There weren't any strings attached.

As she gradually recovered, Shirley was trying to replace another opportunity to upgrade, only to be hit by another crisis that the Xia Film Company was going through.

The scandal was all over the internet. It was said that the CEO of the Xia Group was having an affair with a female star. Not only that, but he was also laundering the company's money so that it could evade its taxes. Shirley's father was the current president of the Xia Film Company. Upon hearing the news, he promptly blacked out in anger. He had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital to recover.

Soon enough, the news became more and more rampant. Their stock price began to plummet, and all their partnerships began to cancel. The projects they were about to start were on a standstill. Even Karla, the famous movie star, terminated her contract with the Xia Film Company. Although she had to pay for damages, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the collapse that her company was about to have. Shirley gritted her teeth, feeling agitated.

She could remember this happening in the book, but she had skipped over that part. She had never been interested in business anyway.

'What the hell am I going to do?' If her company would fall, then she was done for.

Flustered, Shirley thought of the mechanical voice. "I want to use the reward opportunity now," she demanded.

"The first option is to increase your skills. Your clairvoyance, strength, medical skills would all be increased. However, the skill level would not be able to exceed the host's. The second option is to open a box to solve the current predicament."

"The second option," Shirley said hurriedly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
