The Become A Villain In The Novel
Chapter 10

“Shania is mine,” my great-grandson slowly. Even Tony doesn't seem to hear me.

Even the system thinks I didn't make it.

Fear is returning. But a voice across the phone brought me back.

“OK, whatever you say. If you say you don't have any feelings for me anymore, I'll assume that way for now.”

For now? So he meant that he would change his opinion in the future? Why is this human brain so stupid? Actually how bad Catherine was before until it was that hard for her to realize I wasn't interested in a bit—even the tip of her nail.

“But still you extend this problem. You even did a press conference to embarrass me.”

“Hey, motherfucker,” I can't take it anymore. “You humiliated me and this company first. You think I'm stupid and you'll just shut up like this?”

“I just tell my followers what I am going through and ask for their understanding. Is that wrong? Mom has no right to forbid me from writing something on my personal account.”

“Then I just tell reporters that the public accusations against us are baseless. Is that wrong? What right do you have to forbid me from holding a press conference in front of reporters?”

The man remained silent for a while. I smiled with satisfaction. I'll shut up all the mouths that don't have adapters talking to me carelessly.

“You usually just make trouble. All this time you troubled me, and now you have troubled Shania. Do you know what kind of problems he faced because of your actions? People seka—“

I unconsciously threw away the pen I had been holding since. The problems they face, he said? I'm also facing problems because of you guys. You're the only one who doesn't know how persistent this novel system is to support your relationship by using me. But I've taken great pains not to bother you anymore. And this is the reward I got for trying not to bother you?

I'm the one who was bullied.

I am the one who is being bullied and blamed.

Even now I still have to continue to carry out strange missions so that this novel continues to run properly. I'm fighting life here for you. But everything I do doesn't seem to be helping at all, only making things worse. And make me suffer even more.

A person like him knows what, why he only feels that he is suffering the most.

But that doesn't mean I'll just be treated like this. I'm Catherine Wijaya. The coolest criminals of the century. The most downtrodden criminal actually is. Haha...

“Enough,” I said.

“We suffer the most because of you. He can't even live quietly in the office. Every day there are faithful followers of Mother who take advantage of her kindness. Women as good as her should continue to suffer because of one woman like you. Even he doesn't want to blame you—“

“I TOLD YOU ENOUGH!” my screams. “He suffered because of me? Don't you know who used him it was your fans.” Those people are jealous because Shania got your attention, stupid, not because she was loyal to me. “Sure Shania won't blame me because it wasn't my fault.“ Now the system even wants me to love it by saying such cheap things. “He's mine! So you don't bother him.” Damn, I said that strange thing because I unconsciously remembered the system. But what I said was true. “Because you're the one who bothers him the most. If you're not around, she definitely won't be bullied constantly.”

My eyes bought when the mission box showed the word “success”. So the mission isn't over? Why did it suddenly work? Because Tony finally heard my words or because I said them solemnly according to how I felt?

I took and exhaled slowly. Control my uncertain feelings. I'd better end it now.

Now I really understand the words ”the sane ngalah”. It turned out that talking to a madman was completely useless. I was so stupid that I picked up the phone just because I wanted to vent my frustration. Even now I am getting more upset. Because what, because stupid people are not sane turns out to use other languages. Language that normal people do not use. They don't understand what we mean and we won't understand what they mean.

Did I just send this man to the stone age? Hey, whoever you are in charge of this novel, make this stupid guy transport to the age of dinosaurs. Perhaps the ancient animals understood his words better.

“I'll get Shania out of your company. Won't I let you hurt him again.”

Yes, hand over you Bambang.

“Please. If he wants to, just tell him. I will not complicate his resignation if you are worried about it.” I exhaled. “I'm tired of talking to people from megalithic times like you. Our conversation never seems to go on. I hope you don't contact me again for any non-essential problems and get your problems solved and leave here.”

“You don't want to go home, Mom?” ask Keegan who just opened my door. I glanced at the clock. At two in the morning. Turns out I worked until this late.

“I will check this document in a moment. You can go home first.”

“I'll wait for Mom.” The man was preparing to close the door.

“Just go home. Your work is done, right? Go home. I don't want any more ugly gossip saying I told employees to overtime until it's inhumane like this.”

“Not usually Mother who forbid me to go home before you go home.” He saw me astonished.

Destroyed already. Keegan must have been getting suspicious of me. "Yes already. It's up to you if you don't want to go home" I said, choosing a safe answer.

“Mong-by the way about the event, do you really want to be the guest star?”

“No. Wh why? You feel I should have come there?”

“The talk is not too bad. We can also discuss any questions you can ask Mom. Looks like it'll be good if you come to the public. People keep making bad comments about you being arrogant and not being able to take care of your company properly. Although it has been removed by our team, these comments continue to appear.”

“What should I show you on the show? That I am the wicked woman who made the prince of this country suffer.”

“Not. That you are not the person they've been thinking about all along. One can certainly judge whether you are a superficial woman who justifies any means to get a man and is incompetent to work or not from there. You're smart, Mom. And I'm sure your intelligence will be visible there.”
