Chapter 249
Madison didn’t argue with the system and simply asked, “System, does Rebecca know that I can oppose her once I’ve improved my abilities?”
The system was silent for a moment before replying carefully, “She shouldn’t be able to know. Unless she also has a system.”
The system’s voice faded for a moment. When it returned, it sounded more assured, “I just checked. Rebecca doesn’t have a system. She doesn’t know this.”
Madison was quiet as she leaned back against the headboard, tilting her head up to gaze at the white ceiling.
Was it really impossible to defy the heavens will? No matter how hard she tried, was she unable to fight against the heavens‘ favored ones?
