Chapter 2

My name was Julie Horne. When I was ten years old, my mother died while doing a scientific experiment.

Our scientist father brought back a girl who was one year older than me, Julia.

In my previous life, my father let me choose among the two bionic persons first. I chose the bionic person Kendall.

His skill was singing and dancing. The system positioned him as a male idol in a boy band, which was commonly known as a male star to make women happy. Making money was his merit.

Considering Kendall's overall situation, I made his debut in a boy band. Sure enough, he relied on me, an agent with outstanding abilities, making a lot of money.

He, a top star who was adored by thousands of people outside, was wholeheartedly devoted to me at home.

All of this was because of our binding relationship in the System.

Because of this, I lived in a big villa and drove a luxury car. Kendall's fans acknowledged me as Kendall's girlfriend, showering me with great glory.

On the other hand, Julia's bionic skill was being a househusband. The system positioned him as a good man who cared about his family. He could cook and take care of children.

His disadvantage was that he was lousy at making money.

Julia had large expenses and owed a lot of debts. On top of that, she had to support a bionic person. Over time, Julia started to vent her anger and abuse Zack.

Bionic person 02, Zack, was destroyed. He turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Later, Julia found me, saying she wanted to take me for hiking.

"Julie, what are you so proud of? You dare to show off in front of me. Let's die together."

After saying that, she pushed me off the cliff.

She jumped down too. After all, she couldn't repay the huge debt.

Chapter 3

After our scientist father died, Julia began to divide the family properties.

She didn't forget to complain.

"Old man. You died with only this little money. Who are you trying to send off? If I had known, I wouldn't have bought a coffin for you. I would have wrapped you with a straw mat and thrown you down."

"Julie, your mother who died early must have left you something valuable. I am the adopted daughter of the Horne family. I have the right and qualifications to get half of the property!"

The house was turned upside down, but Julia didn't find anything.

In the end, she reluctantly took over ten thousand dollars deposited in our scientist father's bank card.

The remote experimental house and the cheap two-bedroom apartment in the old community were left for me.

I glanced at Kendall, who appeared to be a clingy little young man as planned. After the system was fully activated, he showed his true personality.

There appeared his bug, that was, he was difficult to deal with.

In his eyes, he was a man with dramatic contrast, which surprised them and infatuated them so much. He was the perfect chosen one to be a male idol.

This replicant was almost the same as a real person, but our scientist father sighed that his replicant was not successful enough before dying.

Before leaving, Julia looked at the replicant good at making money in front of her with great satisfaction.

"Julie, don't blame me for being heartless. We are not biological sisters. If you don't live a good life in the future, don't come and disturb my life."

"You are not biological sisters, so why are you competing with her for the inheritance?"

The activated Zack stared at Julia's face, seemingly conducting facial analysis. Then, he spoke up to defend me.

"You are sinister and hypocritical, and you take advantage of others."

"You are heartless and ungrateful, and you are disloyal."

"The one that climbs high will fall hard, I wonder when you will fall!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but admire the bionic person Zack in front of me. Surprisingly, he saw through Julia's hypocrisy.

"It's the first time in my life that someone has defended and sided with me so firmly."

My father adopted Julia, who was an orphan. Unexpectedly, she didn't have a trace of gratitude in her heart after so many years.

Kendall, who was beside Julia, elegantly put his hands in his pockets. He seemed a little impatient, and he didn't show any pity or defense for Julia.

There was a fleeting sense of desolation on Julia's face.

At the thought of the golden future, she let go of it.

She held Kendall's hand and left.

I sneered in my heart thinking, "May you take good care of this damn demanding man."

Chapter 4

It was my first day of living together with Zack.

He shocked me so much.

He got up at 6 a.m. to prepare breakfast with two different kinds of flavors.

Everything was handmade. He did so to make sure I ate things healthy and safe.

I thought he, a bionic person, couldn't touch water, but he took a shower every day and paid great attention to personal hygiene.

He even cooked various foods that were beneficial for my menstrual period when I had my period.

I was amazed by his series of actions.

Soon, we encountered a difficult problem in life.

Zack looked at me attentively and said, "We don't have money to buy groceries. When are you going to go out and work to earn money?"

I sighed.

In the past few days, he bought expensive ones to make sure I eat and drink well. We had spent almost all the money at home.

I looked at the few remaining balances.

"Don't worry. There will be money!"
