The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 164

Back in her room, Mika tossed the luxury shopping bags onto her desk.

A second later, she summoned the system.

"Check Charisma."

[Host Mika Miller: *Little Beauty* 3 Stars. Age 19, 5'6", 110 lbs. Eye Shape: Ennui Peach Blossom Eyes. Nose Shape: Tapered Straight Nose. Skin: Luminous fair complexion (Top Tier). Charisma: 83. Skill: Aeon Fist - Advanced.]

[Received 7 pieces of high-end fashion from Male Lead (Lucas). Estimated value: $89,750.00. Account Balance: $137,304.00. Would you like to upgrade?]

"Upgrade!"

Under the warm glow of the lamp, a faint, ethereal white light washed over Mika's body.

An indescribable wave of pure relaxation flooded her muscles, wiping away every trace of exhaustion from the past few weeks.

Every upgrade felt like a total rebirth.

Once it finished, the system chimed happily.

[Upgrade successful!]

[Congratulations, Host! Current level: *Little Beauty* 4 Stars. You have received two Beauty Vouchers! Would you like to redeem them?]

"Dump it all into Charisma."

Mika was sticking to her proven strategy.

Looks and charisma had to be balanced.

If she only maxed out her physical appearance, she'd just be a visually stunning girl who left zero emotional impact.

It would be like a Venus statue in a museum—flawless and gorgeous, but ultimately just a cold piece of marble.

No one falls in love with a statue.

[System processing exchange...]

[Exchange successful!]

[Host Mika Miller: *Little Beauty* 4 Stars. Age 19, 5'6", 110 lbs. Eye Shape: Ennui Peach Blossom Eyes. Nose Shape: Tapered Straight Nose. Skin: Luminous fair complexion (Top Tier). Charisma: 103. Skill: Aeon Fist - Advanced.]

[Congratulations, Host! Your Charisma is off the charts! Keep up the great work!]

But since she had him in front of her, it would be a total waste not to extract some value from him.

She specifically ordered intensely spicy food so he would be desperate enough for a Coke.

And honestly, regardless of whether Lucas grabbed for it or not, Brenda was going to ensure that soda ended up on Mika's dress.

Even if Brenda knocked it over herself.

Seeing Mika utterly humiliated and distressed, how could a guy like Lucas just sit there and do nothing?

Exactly. It scored her nearly ninety grand in clothes and secured her next massive upgrade.

Highly amused, Mika fired back a few rose emojis, tossed her phone down, and sat at her desk.

She pulled a red marker from her pencil cup and circled three dates on her desk calendar.

One was this Saturday—her scheduled deep-clean at Julian Jace's apartment.

Another was mid-next month—the university's annual sports meet.

Mika stared at the third circle, positioned squarely between the other two, a predatory glint flashing in her eyes.
