Chapter 6: V1C6: Act 1 on being a villainess

Quinn went to the kitchen after leaving her father's office, acting as though she hadn't eaten in a while.

As you entered the kitchen, she saw that the entire room was white and that all of the appliances and utensils shone. 

Which, in Quinn's perspective, caused her to comment.

(How opulent, I feel like I'm in the kitchen of the president of the United States of America.)

Quinn was told to take a shower after her nanny noticed how sweaty she was. In the past, Quinn would just disregard what her nanny said and carry on with her plans.

Quinn went and took a shower after the nanny instructed her to do so, which astonished her nanny.

She washed her perspiring body and then sat down to eat the dinner the nanny had prepared.

The nanny asked Quinn, who just shoveled all the food into her mouth and chewed like a man, "Were the meals delicious?".

There are no manners.

Yes, it's wonderful, she said as she ate.

The nanny handed Quinn a handkerchief and said, "Oh, but you've never eaten like this before.

(huh?, Did she catch on) Quinn pondered the possibility that the nanny might have seen something peculiar about her.

She then turned to face herself and realized she was the one giving it a suspicious appearance.

Quinn attempted to use the previous Quinn's ineffectiveness as an excuse, saying, "Cough, cough, I was just happy to be eating since I haven't eaten today and the pressure of meeting my father."

Nanny smiled and said, "Oh, I see, it doesn't matter. I am delighted you enjoyed the food and ate as you pleased since after all, you are Quinn pulvis."

Quinn was about to leave the main house after taking a bath and finishing the meal her nanny had made when a middle-aged woman in a suit approached her. 

This woman had long silky black hair, red cherry lips, a perky nose, and beautiful pale skin.

Quinn Pulvis was aware of who she was, of course.

"Anna Armstrong."

She was Vegan's right-hand lady and the top secretary at the Bocon Group chairman's office. She was regarded as being the most comparable to Vegan Pulvis, excluding his children.

Without saying a word, she extended to Quinn a translucent box the size of a woman's palm.

That was how ineffective the last Quinn was, but the new Quinn wants to fix that.

“A gift from the president.”

That was it; however, the new Quinn Pulvis wants to change it from how it is intended to be in the novel.

Quinn said with flair and arrogance, "Oh, there is no greeting, I see, very impolite, for a peasant like you, not to greet a Pulvis."

Quinn was a rogue who threw her life away and merely spent money, so Anna spoke coldly as if she didn't care who Quinn was. "Who are you, a useless brat, to ask for a greeting?"

"Hahaha, I see, you don't enjoy your job anymore. You might assume that since you are my father's right-hand lady, you can do whatever you want." While his heart was beating like a drum, Quinn laughed at the sentence.

She looked into Quinn's eyes and said, "So what? what are you going to do then, tell your father, haha, I'm sure, you came to ask for money again."

Quinn Pulviz reflected as she braced herself for the next response, (What a bitch, she didn't know I know her family and how you enticed my father to marry you so that you could have that inheritance, but I'm in a novel right now, I won't let you)

Quinn smirked as she said, "Yinah." She may have appeared tough by saying those, but her breath was rising like waves of water.

Anna Armstrong's eyes widened at that very moment as she pondered how Quinn Pulvis, the scamp and useless girl, knew the name of her daughter.

"Haha, don't worry, if you greet me like a Pulvis and follow my instructions, I won't do anything." Quinn's pulvis caught Anna's malicious glare.

"How did you find out? " Quinn was asked by Anna because the scoundrel didn't have time to meddle in other people's affairs.

"A trade secret, just do as I said, since you know what will happen right? If you don't want your daughter to end up dead." Anna is aware that Vegan will always be dependent on his children, even if they kill another innocent person.

I will be going my lad-y," Anna stated, clenching her hand and biting her lower lip as she muttered those words and also pondered. Anna nodded ( one day, iI will take my revenge)

Quinn approached Anna and leaned in close, saying, "I know what you are thinking, I will take my retribution, well, just try anything you want, you know your daughter's life is in my hands." Quinn knew Anna wouldn't give up.

"Haha, you can go, just hang around till I require you." Quinn waved as she walked away, her heart and lungs on the verge of collapsing.

(How did she understand what I was contemplating?) She couldn't understand why and how Quinn could change so drastically in a short period of time, Anna reflected as she left.

(Haha, I finally tamed a beast; I thought it would be impossible; I just tried to be crafty, but it succeeded.) As her heart and lungs were working beyond their capacity, as if she had just finished a 10,000-mile race, Quinn halted and bowed downward.

(If I hadn't been careful, the aura she gave out when I called her daughter a name could have killed me; well, this isn't a novel anymore.) Quinn started to migrate toward her special attendants as her heart and lungs started to gradually slow down.

Anna Armstrong, Edward, and Sung were led outside by the nanny as Anna entered the home.

Quinn's heart, however, continued to race as she thought the entire way back to his house.

(I tamed a beast, and also my father handed me a gift.)

Praise from vegan pulvis was incredibly uncommon, and receiving gifts was much more challenging.

Even with his own children, he was a stingy person who did not readily part with his possessions. Vegan had, however, just given her a gift.

Quinn Pulvis had never done anything like this before.

(In actuality, my father has the right to take away anything I've ever had at any time.)

Quinn had referred to her possessions as "stolen" in her talk with vegan because of this.

However, the gift was unique. Quinn was the only owner of the present that Vegan had given. Vegan would not revoke his gift, even in the worst-case scenario.

In other words, Quinn pulvis's only possession at this point was the transparent box.

Given that Vegan remained aloof even as Quinn departed her home, his demeanor was still icy.

She didn't, however, mean that she had no expectations. The gift she had just opened was evidence of it.

(I had better not let him down.)

Was she self-assured?

"It should go without saying,"

As Quinn rubbed the translucent box she was given, she smiled.

Quinn left Vegan's office with some unanswered questions. Had she been successful or was she a failure?

He was aware of the solution, though, as she was in the car.

(I suppose it's a mixed success.)

It was evident that he had at the very least been successful in making vegan pulvis eagerly anticipate her future actions. 

However, the vegan's final remarks were crucial.

(Show that it's more than just rhetoric.) Quinn recalled what he had said.

You are reading story I transmigrated in my favourite novel as a villainess at novel35.com

Maybe it was the true purpose of his gift.

(I'm positive that was it, so no.)

Her goal was to demonstrate how the advice she heard and the gift she had just received will transform her.

The expectations she had worked so hard to instill in Vegan pulvis would have vanished like candlelight extinguished by the wind if she had merely been delighted and relieved by his gift. In other words, Vegan pulvis used the gift as a test.

(I won't make this my final present; it's only the start.) she pondered

Quinn Pulvis, of course, was not in the least bit offended by Vegan's behavior. She was reestablishing her friendship with vegan pulvis with this action.

It's true that "well beginning is half done," thus it is important that she is making progress.

(But I shouldn't get careless. Given Vegan pulvis's personality, he wouldn't test me himself, Anna Armstrong will likely be the one to test me, but since I foresaw it, I tamed her first... hehe)

Laughing, Quinn heard the siblings calling her, she was organizing her thoughts.

"Noona, I'm incredibly surprised."

"From the president, a present! That's incredible!"

Their eyes and facial expressions shared the same emotion as if to demonstrate that they were siblings.

The only difference was that Sung's cheeks were crimson with eagerness, whilst Edward's shoulders trembled slightly and he showed the same emotion more strongly.

He seemed to be holding the handle tightly, which was kind of cute.

"Happy… No, more like, astonished?"

Quinn's visage softened at the sight, and Edward's look seemed unduly dramatic—as if a baby had just said their first words.

She had a lot on her mind, including the fact that she was being evaluated and that she needed to do better right away, but it was apparent that Vegan pulvis had just given her a gift.

"Noona, If I'm being honest, when you left the office, my heart missed a beat. I believed you were seriously troubled."

Quinn Pulvis had been in such a state when she had left the office—drenched in perspiration, pallid, and stumbling—that it had been challenging to speak with her.

That's why Edward and Sung decided to offer her silent support from behind.

Fortunately, Quinn's respiration had rapidly returned to normal, and thirty minutes later, although she still had a grave expression, her face had begun to soften.

Armstrong gave her the gift from vegan pulvis as they were leaving the main home.

The siblings thought at that moment that their worries had actually resulted in something positive.

“Noona, Would you mind telling me what you talked about with the chairman? , and that Anna Armstrong, with whom you spoke, is dangerous. Sung enquired while beaming with delight and interest.

(He clearly differs from his sibling.)

She was curious and made an effort to understand her surroundings. Quinn was likely to turn to Brent Sung as her most trustworthy ally in all of her future endeavors given her astute observation.

“Dear…I stated that I didn't want to pass away and that stuff, it wasn't a big deal." Quinn gave him an honest response while simultaneously lying.

While the siblings were definitely happy, a melancholy expression briefly appeared on their features.

They were the ones who understood the significance of Quinn Pulvis's sparse remarks the best.

She may have appeared to be a fortunate and blessed brat, but her life wasn't as sweet as it seemed.

"I mean it. I will therefore ask you two to continue assisting me as you have thus far.

As Quinn noticed the honesty in their eyes, she quietly grinned. The Brent siblings were already her close allies, whereas Vegan pulvis was only a distant ally.

Quinn felt that she ought to express her actual feelings to them for that reason.

"Sure," 

I'm all in, Noona, and I'll put my life in danger to follow you.

Quinn Pulvis was met with a reluctant glance from the two, who had no desire to argue.

"That's good news."

She awoke in a diverse location, but as a lady, she was just thoughtless, so she wasn't too depressed, but she is depressed internally.

Even if she disliked being a girl in her life now, there was nothing she could do but go along with things now. 

But now that she had some friends to rely on and didn't have to bear the burden of the world alone.

Quinn Pulvis wasn't a flawless person, despite having a strong personality and being familiar with the storyline of the first novel.

"A little relaxation won't cause any issues."

Quinn eventually relaxed and as all the strain left her body she slowly drifted asleep.

"I'm about to fall asleep briefly.

When we get there, wake me up."

After finishing her sentence, she slept off while clinging tenaciously to the translucent box her father had given her.

"Noona, get some rest. You worked hard."

Sung gave Quinn a gentle smile and wrapped him in a blanket.

"Since it happened so quickly, I find it difficult to understand, although"

"Lady Quinn appears to have altered and improved in appearance."

Sung turned his head to face Edward and grinned.

"You feel fantastic, don't you?"

"It is obvious, as they say."

Should we binge when we get home?

"I'm good. My treat."

"Not happening! I'm just as happy as you are.

"I hope Noona stays as it is today."

The Brent siblings shared the same idea while grinning broadly.

These two were unaware that Quinn Pulvis' transformation had only recently started to take hold.

(Fun fact: I feel like I'm on Mount Everest because of how chilly it is here. Quinn pondered this as she hugged the bracket even tighter. (What kind of author would create a world like this? Shit, please return me to my world dammit)
