That night, when Derek Jacobs finally saw the paternity test report, he was even more excited than Mandy Lawson!
Previously, he had restrained his overwhelming paternal love because he was afraid of giving it to the wrong person.
He was afraid that, just in case, the little girl wasn’t his daughter.
Although all previous investigations pointed to Juno being the missing child, without this DNA test, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Now, he was both happy and thrilled!
The celebration banquet, which had been delayed until now, was set for the second of August next month—Juno’s birthday.
Invitations were sent not only to all the high-profile elites in Celestia but also to every employee of the Jacobs Group.
He wanted to announce to the world that Juno was his daughter!
She was the little Princess of the Jacobs family and the heir to the Jacobs Group!
“Congratulations, Host!
Your main quest is already sixty percent complete.
Keep up the good work!” the system announced.
“However, the bonus quest completion rate is still at zero percent.
Shouldn’t you consider how to accomplish it?”
“What the hell?
Only sixty percent?” Juno lay on her bed with her delicate, pale bare feet crossed in the air and her hands behind her head, having just been happily asking about her quest progress.
She had assumed the main quest was definitely a hundred percent complete.
Who knew the system would tell her it was only at sixty percent?
She bolted upright.
I’ve already returned to the Jacobs family, so the original host’s fate has been completely changed!
Why is it only sixty percent?”
“Host, the system shows that the main quest completion is exactly sixty percent, which means there are still threats to the original host’s destiny!
You must understand that the male lead in every angst-filled romance world is the chosen one, blessed with explosive luck.
It’s not something you can completely resolve just by snipping off his balls.”
Juno scowled.
“Dog system!
Stinky Doggo!
I’m the freaking female lead!
Why don’t I have explosive luck?!”
The system felt deeply offended.
A dog system?
A stinky Doggo?
Had anyone ever seen such a sweet, cute, understanding, and multi-talented Doggo…
wait, dog system?
The Doggo system chuckled dryly.
“You’re overthinking it, Host.
In the early stages of an angst novel, the female lead is plagued with terrible luck.
Only in the later stages will she be blessed with good fortune.
This is the destiny the author bestowed upon each character…”
Juno thought, “What a psycho author!
Ruining characters without breaking a sweat!
Are they a misogynist?
Why else would they make the female lead’s life so miserable!”
Crossing her arms over her chest, Juno sat on the bed in a huff, her small face puffed out like an angry pufferfish.
After mercilessly cursing out the psycho author in her head, she gradually fell silent.
Rubbing her pointed little chin, she calmly analyzed her current situation out loud.
“In other words, Stephen Grant is persevering despite his physical handicap, and he’s still figuring out how to bring down the Jacobs Group?
Hmm…
if the Jacobs Group is destroyed, the original host’s destiny won’t have changed, and she will still be held firmly under his thumb?”
Listening to her rational yet highly irreverent analysis, the system remained silent for a moment before replying, “The system doesn’t know whether Stephen Grant is persevering despite his physical handicap.
But what is certain is that the existence threatening the Jacobs family has not disappeared.
Please continue to work hard, Host, to change the original host’s fate and complete the awakening quest.”
“Additionally, Host, you should consider how to pass the bonus quest.
You need to accumulate ten billion in wealth.” A hint of schadenfreude could actually be heard in its little mechanical voice.
Juno was speechless.
She wondered if she had been utterly scammed by this trashy system when she clicked to accept that bullshit bonus reward.
After spending the last few days shopping like crazy with Derek Jacobs and Jayden Jacobs, Juno had finally grasped the concept of money in this world.
Ten billion…
At her current spending rate, even if she rolled around in cash, she wouldn’t be able to spend that much in a lifetime.
Even if all the assets of the Jacobs Group were added together, they probably wouldn’t amount to ten billion!
Yet this dog-bastard system actually wanted her to accumulate ten billion in wealth?!
