The Stepmother Is Not Vicious
Chapter 2
One day ago, I traveled into this novel with a bad ending.
The protagonist Anabel's parents divorced. Her father was busy with work and often went on business trips, leaving her and her three-year-old brother Jasper to be taken care of by their grandmother Kayla and stepmother Elyse Levine.
Kayla favored Jasper and neglected Anabel, while the stepmother Elyse's only pleasure in life was to abuse her.
Anabel lacked the warmth of a family since childhood, which led to her distorted values when she grew up.
As long as she was given a little warmth from someone, she would give everything to him.
She was together with a scumbag for five years just because the scumbag took her in when she was kicked out by her stepmother.
She endured the scumbag's domestic violence, exploitation, and threats.
Later, she met the male lead who saved her, but unexpectedly, he was not a good guy.
The male lead only valued her beauty and used her to do some illegal deals.
The male protagonist fell in love with her, but she was tortured by two scumbags and eventually committed suicide.
After reading this book, I felt so disgusted.
I left a book review in the comment section: [If I were Anabel's stepmother, I would love her and the book could come to an end.]
I didn't expect that I actually become her stepmother going back to the beginning of this book.
Since I had come, I would try to adapt to the environment.
I was fortunate to be involved in her life, and I wouldn't let her experience the hardships in the book again.
I had tried to be nice to Anabel.
But as soon as my attitude changed, the bound system would remind me.
"The system belongs to a wicked stepmother who tries all she can to hurt her with the most vicious words.
"The host should try to play the role of the stepmother, or you'll get struck by lightning!"
Not only would I trigger the system if I treated her well, but there would also be a thunder in my ears.
One time, I wanted to bring some food to Anabel, who was punished by Kayla and not allowed to eat.
Just as I reached her door, a bolt of lightning struck right next to my feet.
The carpet was struck, leaving a smoking hole, while the system was threatening me.
"Host, this is a warning. If you deviate from the character again, I will strike you!"
I thought, How dare you!
You're indeed serious about it!
You wicked system!
I cursed the system in my heart, but it was useless. I still couldn't do anything for her.
But after what just happened, it seemed like I understood something.
No matter what I did, it seemed that I could get away with it as long as I could find a reasonable excuse for that matter.
