The argument died in her throat when two burly security guards appeared, dragging a struggling Silas between them. Jenna’s eyes immediately filled with tears.
She pointed an accusing finger at me.
“Ms. Rhimes, why did you abuse him?”
I held up my hands.
“Let’s not make baseless accusations. I never starved him. My beastman kibble is all–you–can–eat.”
In the hands of the large guards, Silas looked frail and thin.
He saw Jenna and whimpered, “Jenna, I missed you so much.”
Jenna rushed to him, her face etched with heartbreak as she took in his gaunt features. Tears streamed down her face.
“Kibble? You used to feed him the finest imported meats, with a specially designed nutritional plan…”
The System Commentary returned with a vengeance.
[I’m crying. My poor baby. Don’t cry, Mommy loves you.]
[Even though the plot went off the rails, their love in the face of adversity is so beautiful.】
【They both care so much for each other! The FL is so brave for love!]

[Go, FL! Put the villainess in her place! I live for this!)
Their sappy romance was already annoying enough.
The incessant commentary and Jenna’s nagging accusations were grating on my last nerve.
I finally snapped back.
“Let me reiterate. It is my money, and I have the right to decide how to spend it.”
Both Jenna and the System were stunned into silence.
I gestured for the guards to hand Silas over.
Jenna took him, and as she held him, she let out a small gag.
She choked it back, her face turning red as she held her breath and hugged him tightly.
Silas hugged her back.
“Jenna, the new handler wanted to give me a bath, but I promised you I’d only let you touch me. So I might smell a little… You don’t mind, do you, Jenna?”
Jenna didn’t speak, just shook her head vigorously.
Finally, under Silas’s expectant gaze, she forced out the three words.
“I don’t mind.”
I, along with the System, had to marvel at it.
【What a great love!】
She could tolerate that stench.
No wonder she was the female lead.
The commentary continued.

【It’s all the villainess’s fault for suddenly selling the male lead! The FL had to borrow a ton of money to save him!]
[Don’t worry, once she returns to the Graves family, this amount of money will be nothing.]
[I wonder how long the villainess can act so smug. ‘My money, my right to decide. Let’s see her crying in a ditch when she has no money left.]
Too bad for them, I had money now.
A condo, a sports car, and a seven–figure bank account.

And a fresh quarter–million–dollar deposit.

Meanwhile, their precious female lead, Jenna Croft, was now $250,000 in debt. That should keep her busy for a while.
It wasn’t enough.
I wished I could find the people writing this commentary and ruin their lives too.

But since I couldn’t reach through the screen, I’d have to settle for destroying the story they loved so much.

I didn’t want to waste money on a private investigator for those two.
Thankfully, the occasional System Commentary kept me updated. Silas and Jenna were miserable.
The broke lovers were surviving on bread and clichés, whispering sweet nothings to each other to keep
warm.
The System was in mourning.
