The Wealth System's Heiress

My sister and I saved an old man.

To repay us, he gave us two systems.

One system was called Wealth, and the other was called Beauty.

In my previous life, my sister Gianna rushed to choose Wealth.

She said she had to become rich so no one would ever bully her again.

But she flaunted her money too recklessly.

Her gambling-addict boyfriend violated her, seized all her assets, and left her unable to bear children for the rest of her life.

As she was about to jump into the sea in despair, she saw me on a cruise ship with three billionaires competing to propose to me.

Furious, she went mad and pushed me off the ship to my death in the ocean.

In this second life, she rushed to choose the Beauty System.

"Violet, this time it's my turn to be life's winner.

Those three billionaires will line up for me to pick and choose, while you just wait to be trampled and killed by scumbag men and toxic friends!"

Holding the leftover Wealth System, I curved my lips into a smile.

What a fool.

She couldn't even use such a simple Wealth System properly.

I'm afraid she'll end up even worse off than in her last life!

The suffocating sensation of drowning in the sea felt like it happened just yesterday.

I jolted awake to hear Gianna's incredibly excited voice.

"I want this one!"

She pointed at the Beauty System without hesitation, making her choice.

After speaking, she looked at me triumphantly.

"Violet, you've always let me have everything since we were little.

I finally found something I like in this Beauty System---you won't fight me for it, will you?"

In that moment, I instantly understood.

She had been reborn too.

We had both been reborn to the moment before we received the two systems.

On this day, Gianna and I went camping in the suburbs and encountered an old man who was dying of thirst.

I couldn't bear to watch and wanted to give him my water.

But Gianna stopped me.

"These days, doing good deeds doesn't get you good karma."

I frowned, hesitating.

Gianna crossed her arms, watching coldly.

"Besides, who dies of thirst nowadays?

Even if he's really thirsty, he can just find river water to drink.

Worst case, he could even drink his own urine..."

But a human life was at stake.

I quickly pushed aside the gloating Gianna and handed over my water bottle.

The old man was finally saved.

To repay us, he gave us two systems.

When we heard that one system was called Wealth and the other Beauty, Gianna's eyes lit up as she rushed forward.

"The Wealth System---does that mean I'll become a millionaire?

Then I definitely want the one that brings the most money!"

So without consulting me, she chose the Wealth System without hesitation.

The old man was clearly saved by me, and she had just been advising me to mind my own business, but now she was first in line to claim credit.

Though I felt a bit uncomfortable, considering she was my own sister, I ended up taking what was left.

"Beauty is good too. It's better than nothing.

After all, finding a suitable husband and living an ordinary, simple life isn't bad either."

I contentedly bound myself to the Beauty System.

From that moment on, my and Gianna's fates began to undergo earth-shattering reversals.

"Violet?"

Gianna impatiently waved her hand in front of me, pulling me back from my thoughts.

"I want to choose the Beauty System. You wouldn't want to fight me for it, would you?"

"In your last life, you lived so happily. This time, such a good system should be my turn, right?"

She shrank back warily, as if afraid I would make the same decision as last time, seemingly determined not to let me have the system.

I looked at her silently for a moment, then shook my head.

"Of course I won't fight you for it. Then I'll take the other one."

Seeing my indifferent attitude, I casually bound myself to the Wealth System.

Along with a system notification: "Host, you have successfully bound."

Gianna suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned close to my ear and laughed softly.

"Violet, do you really think this crappy Wealth System will bring you money? I'm afraid all it'll bring is disaster."

I had just noticed that when Gianna looked at the Wealth System, her eyes were full of fear and dread.

Her making this choice was completely within my expectations.

"They're just two systems. It's all about how you use them."

Gianna rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"You're just saying sour grapes because you can't have them."

"This time, I'm the one who grabbed the Beauty System first.

Those three billionaires should fall at my feet in this life."

The smugness in Gianna's eyes was practically overflowing.

Sure enough, after getting the Beauty System, the first thing Gianna did was dress herself up elaborately.

The system was very effective, raising Gianna's charm value to the maximum.

Watching herself walk down the street and attract a 90% turn-around rate, she was extremely pleased.

"This Beauty System really works. In my last life, I was so stupid, letting Violet get such a great bargain for nothing."

"This time, no matter what, I'm going to be life's ultimate winner!"

I shook my head, pretending not to hear her muttering.

This time, I was the one welcoming the arrival of wealth.

With such a large sum of money, if I didn't seize the opportunity to become the richest woman, I'd be doing a disservice to this system.

Just as I was seriously studying the system rules, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Violet, don't get too smug too soon. For the sake of us being sisters, I'll give you a warning."

"If you still want to live well, I advise you not to use that Wealth System."

"Otherwise, before the wealth comes, disaster will arrive first, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned to look at her.

"Gianna, then I'll give you a warning too."

"If you want to live a good life, stay away from those three billionaires. That's all I'll say."

Gianna didn't believe my words at all, letting out a disdainful cold laugh.

"Violet, I think you're just jealous that I got the Beauty System, so you're saying this on purpose."

She looked at me with eyes full of wariness and suspicion.

"I can't forget---in my last life, I was harmed by that gambling addict until I couldn't have children, lost everything, while you were on a cruise ship wearing a princess dress, enjoying the love and proposals of three billionaire men..."

"In my last life, I was too stupid.

I thought that having the Wealth System and money meant having everything.

Only later did I understand that holding such an obvious target in my hands made me everyone's living bullseye."

"But now it's different."

"With the Beauty System on my side, those rich men and billionaires can become my playthings at any time, and their money will all be mine too, hahaha..."

I regretfully shook my head, looking sympathetically at the smug Gianna before me, feeling only sadness.

Gianna and I were blood sisters.

When she couldn't find work, I took her in.

When her gambling-addict boyfriend beat her, I helped call the police.

Even when that gambling-addict boyfriend beat her so badly she was hospitalized in critical condition, I gave up my well-paying $30,000-a-month job and ran to the hospital like a servant, exhausting myself to care for her.

I gave her everything, my whole heart.

But how did she repay me in my last life?

After she got rich through the Wealth System, the first thing she did was distance herself from me.

She used hundred-thousand-dollar handbags as trash bins to hold water bottles.

Yet when I asked to borrow $20,000, she coldly mocked me.

"Violet, you have your Beauty System, but I don't see you sharing any boyfriends with me."

"Now all this money I have, I earned it with my own real ability. You want to mooch off me? Dream on."

That very day, she moved out of my rental apartment and bought a ten-million-dollar oceanfront villa.

When I was desperate and offered to write an IOU to borrow $20,000 from her, she coldly threw me a letter cutting ties.

"Violet, from now on, I don't have a sister like you. Don't even think about taking advantage of me."

Her coldness and decisiveness back then broke my heart.

What's more, afterward, when she was violated by her gambling-addict boyfriend and left unable to bear children, reduced to something neither human nor ghost, she became jealous when she saw my happiness and pushed me off the cruise ship to die at the bottom of the sea.

One thing after another, each incident had long since shown me the serpent's heart of this sister of mine.

So this time, I also withdrew my kindness, only wanting to manage my own life well.

A few days after getting the system, Gianna carefully orchestrated going to the park to "accidentally" encounter those three billionaires, following the same scenario from my last life when I met them.

Sure enough, she quickly became very close with all three of them.

Billionaire 1 pampered her like a little princess and gave her a villa that very day.

Billionaire 2 was even more generous, directly spending millions to take her to high-end auction houses where she could buy whatever she wanted.

Billionaire 3 got down on his knees to pursue her, and with a grand wave of his hand, even gave her an island.

Gianna was extremely pleased and came to show off to me.

"Violet, I never imagined you lived such an amazing life in your last life."

"This Beauty System really is useful. Turns out having all the money in the world isn't as useful as having a man's love."

"Money in your hands just makes people covet it. But as long as you have men under your thumb, all that money comes rushing into your hands..."

Listening to Gianna shamelessly say these things, I regretfully shook my head.

"Don't celebrate too soon."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Even with the Beauty System's boost, haven't you wondered why those three billionaires appeared so conveniently?"

Gianna froze, but still took my questioning as jealousy.

"Violet, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"In this life, you didn't get to snatch the Beauty System from me, so you want to trick me, right? I won't fall for it."

With that, she went back to her room, noisily packed her luggage, then came out dragging a suitcase.

"I'm planning to move out."

Gianna raised her chin, looking at me haughtily.

"Those billionaires are lining up to give me villas and islands.

My net worth has already risen more than one level."

"A shabby little rental like this suits you better."

I didn't stop her, just nodded silently.

"When you move out, remember to leave the key on the entrance table."

Gianna's face instantly turned cold as she put her hands on her hips and stared at me.

"Violet, I knew you always thought I was a burden, didn't you?"

"Now your true colors are finally showing."

"Fine, I'll tell you clearly---when I become a billionaire's wife, don't come begging me to help you."

I lowered my head and smiled.

"That day will never come."

Unfortunately, Gianna didn't hear me and huffily dragged her suitcase away.

And I finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.

With Gianna leaving on her own initiative, I had one less burden.

I didn't have to worry about being dragged down by her or even killed by her for the rest of my life.

After getting the Wealth System, my fortune truly became explosive.

Buying a scratch-off ticket at my doorstep, I could win $2,000.

Helping an old lady on the street, she recognized me as her goddaughter in gratitude and left me most of her inheritance.

Buying a lottery ticket, I could even win $50 million.

When I went to claim the prize, I didn't make a scene.

Instead, I wore a mask and covered myself completely.

After claiming the prize, I disposed of all those clothes and quickly moved away from my original circle.

I also terminated the lease on my original apartment.

Seeing me being so cautious, the Wealth System asked, "Host, aren't you being a bit too careful?"

I shook my head.

"You don't understand."

In my last life, Gianna suffered because she was too ostentatious, letting everyone know she was fortune's darling.

As a result, all her friends became jealous of her.

Even her gambling-addict boyfriend Travis was like a wolf eyeing lamb, calculating every day how to take her money for himself.

I still remembered that cruel scene.

After Travis lost everything at the gambling table, he grabbed a fruit knife and threatened Gianna with bloodshot eyes.

"Gianna, hand over all your money right now, or else don't blame me for sending you to another man's bed.

By then, even if you beg for mercy, you won't find a place to cry!"

Gianna couldn't break up with him.

She had nowhere to turn for help.

She could only obediently hand over all her money, making a wedding dress for that man.

Travis took all that money and gambled heavily, losing almost everything.

In the end, the Wealth System completely lost its power.

Gianna also became useless.

After Travis hired some men to violate her, he threw her onto the street, leaving her unable to bear children.

I divided the money I received into three parts.

The first part, I deposited in different bank accounts to earn interest.

The second part, I established an offshore trust fund account and regularly deposited money into it every month.

But to withdraw money, I set an annual limit of only $50 million, and it required my personal signature.

The third part, I established a personal charity foundation.

Quietly, under the name "Mr. Gray," I regularly made donations.

After all, financial fortune is also a flow.

It needs to circulate to avoid becoming stagnant water.

Moreover, being able to help others within my means is the greatest spiritual practice in itself.

I stayed away from my original circle.

Even when buying villas, I had my assistant handle it.

I was careful and cautious enough, so I remained safe.

This day, I was drinking coffee in the living room of my newly purchased villa when my private investigator suddenly called.

"Miss Sinclair, there's a new development at the location you asked me to monitor."

Gianna was dressed elaborately, just about to go on a date with Billionaire 3.

Halfway there, she was suddenly blocked by Travis, who jumped out.

That gambling-addict boyfriend who had harmed her so badly in her previous life---even after rebirth, seeing him again made Gianna's face turn deathly pale with fear.

"Travis, I've already broken up with you. If you keep harassing me, I'll call the police."

Travis smiled wickedly as he approached her, pinning her against the wall.

"Go ahead and call the police. Think I'm scared?"

"Gianna, I didn't expect you to be so capable.

No wonder you were so determined to kick me to the curb these past few days---turns out you hooked up with a richer, more handsome guy..."
