Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 13

Just as Jonathan asked the driver to pull the car around, Clara stopped him.

"Vera mentioned you've been working long hours lately," she said sweetly. "You must be exhausted. Let me massage your shoulders before we go."

She stepped behind him and half-heartedly kneaded his shoulders.

If it weren't for the system's rewards, she wouldn't have bothered touching him.

[Ding! Task Complete!]

[Reward: An elite heiress must possess basic massage skills. Skill unlocked: Novice Massage Therapy.]

Clara was speechless.

Since when did socialites need to learn physical therapy?

She had met countless wealthy women in her past life, and none of them were giving out back rubs.

"You have great technique, Clara," Jonathan praised, leaning into her touch. "Did someone teach you?"

[Ding! Host has received genuine praise!]

[A perfect heiress must have a radiant complexion. Reward: Skin Luminosity +1.]

So she could earn rewards even without completing official tasks.

This system was truly overpowered.

After the quick massage, Jonathan drove Clara to the Academy.

The moment they left, Vera returned with a hysterically sobbing Serena.

Serena was no longer bald. She sported a sleek, jet-black wig with straight bangs. Paired with her red, swollen eyes, it gave her a fragile, pitiable aura.

Ethan glanced at his watch. "Class starts in twenty minutes. I'll be late if I sleep."

Serena scoffed. "Aren't you late every single day?"

Ethan ignored her, walking out the door and sliding into the waiting car.

It was true—he was notoriously late, skipped out early, and ditched classes without caring what anyone thought of him.

But today, he was actually going just to find out what the homework was.

That way, if Clara asked him about school, he wouldn't look completely clueless.

Realizing his own motivation, Ethan groaned inwardly.

Why did he care what that woman thought of him? It was insane that he was waking up early just to prepare for her questions.
