The System started a three-second countdown. System: [Mission: Order Alex Carter to grovel and clean the red wine off your shoe with his tongue.] [Reward: 3 million dollars.] [Punishment: Erasure.] I looked at Alex standing before me. Disowned by his family, penniless, yet he still stood tall and proud. He used to be the brightest star in the city's high society, but now he was everyone's punching bag, a stray dog nobody cared about. He was also the male lead that the System forced me to torment. The whole place went dead silent. My so-called parents and their precious fake heiress, Vivian Stone, were looking at me like I was trash. They were waiting for me to mess up, and for Alex to snap. I smiled. I picked up my wine glass and poured every drop of red wine onto my white heels. Then I said, "Grovel on the ground and lick it clean." Everyone thought Alex would snap and slap me across the face. But Alex just looked up, his deep eyes showing no hatred. There was just the tiniest hint of a smile, barely noticeable. Then he moved. Under everyone's horrified gaze, he dropped to one knee.
