At first, Susan just wanted to get Judith interested in gaming and played with her for a while.

But Judith, who had never played games before, got hooked after giving it a try.

That night, Susan watched Judith play at first, but eventually, Susan fell asleep unconsciously because she was so sleepy.

“I passed.” Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out.

Susan was jolted awake.

She looked up blankly and asked, “What? What’s wrong?”

Judith held the mobile phone and said happily. “Susan, I was stuck on this level for an hour, but I finally managed to beat it!

I can’t believe the game designer is so talented. Not only is she great at writing stories, but she also excels at creating difficult riddles. Let me tell you, that key prop is actually hidden…”

Judith was so excited.

Susan was stunned.

After a long time, she finally found an opportunity to speak.

“Aunt Judith, did you stay up all night?”

Judith was stunned when she heard Susan’s question.

She looked out of the window in a daze.

Outside, the sky was already bright.

Judith patted her head.

“What’s going on? It’s already dawn?‘ she thought.

She didn’t feel the passing of time at all,

Judith coughed lightly and said, “I don’t really mind staying up. I’m going to clear this level first.”

Judith lowered her head and immersed herself back into the game again.

Susan was speechless.

She felt as if she had done something evil.

She felt like she had gotten an innocent person hooked on the game.

‘Oh god, if you want to blame someone, blame Eason.

JMMM

It’s he who made me do this.

Susan looked at Judith with guilt.

Once Judith had completed a level, Susan quickly removed her mobile phone and encouraged her to have breakfast. Then Susan coaxed her to go to sleep,

When Susan asked Judith to sleep, Judith still looked reluctant.

Judith had wanted to play the next level.

She was eager to uncover the next level, as hints and clues from the previous level had piqued her curiosity.

Unfortunately, Susan was staring at her, so she could only go to sleep obediently.

Susan finally managed to make Judith sleep. She breathed a sigh of relief and left the room.

“Susan?” Penny asked curiously, “What’s…”

Susan smiled awkwardly and said, “Nothing. I recommended a game to Aunt Judith and she played it all night, I was worried about her health, so I asked her to take a break and rest.”

Penny nodded and was completely relaxed.

She had been worried that Susan was here to speak up for Emma.

But now it seemed

it

the case.

“I’m leaving for the office first. Penny, please keep an eye on Aunt Judith. Remind her not to be too obsessed with the game,” Susan said

“Okay,” Penny agreed with a smile.

Judith didn’t wake up until the afternoon.

She ate something and began to play games again.

Seeing that Judith was so obsessed with the game, Penny couldn’t help being curious about it.

After asking Judith for the game’s name, Penny also began to play it.

She was eager to see Judith drive Emma away. Penny had planned to spend more time with Judith and use this opportunity to vaguely speak ill of Emma during these days.

Penny had a good plan, but she got a bit addicted after playing this game for a while.

As a result, her plan was dashed and both of them were addicted to the game.

Susan visited the Nicholas family several times during these days.

JMMM

Every time she visited, what she saw were two women who were heavily addicted to games.

Susan had no choice but to leave.

The third day was approaching.

Eason called her nervously. “How’s it going? I’m going to bring Emma back for dinner tonight.”

“I’m not sure. I’ll do my best,” said Susan said helplessly.

In the afternoon, Susan went to the Nicholas family in advance.

Judith and Penny sat on the sofa, looking hopeless.

“What’s wrong?” Susan couldn’t help but ask.

Judith could not help but look at Susan eagerly. “Susan, this game only has seven levels available now. The eighth level has yet to be released. There are still plenty of puzzles to be solved,”

Penny nodded heavily.

This was a single–player

le game.

Usually, she would not play this type of game.

Who would have thought that such a niche topic could be made into such a wonderful game?

Playing this game made her feel like she was watching a great movie.

Picture the annoyance you experience when watching a movie at its most exciting point, only to have it suddenly stop

Penny and Judith felt the same way.

Susan blinked and said, “The eighth stage should be released next week.”

“Next week?” Judith suddenly felt upset.

She couldn’t even wait for an hour, let alone a week.

“Do you really want to know the details of the next level?” Susan asked deliberately.

“Of course, this is the final stage of the adventure, and there are many puzzles to solve. For example, in the previous level of the tomb, where did the queen’s ghost go? And what is the purpose of that lamp, and Judith rattled on like she was familiar with every detail.

This game featured different scenes at each level.

Sometimes, it was an ancient tomb.

Sometimes, it was a primeval forest.

NNN

Sometimes, it was an ancient ship of the sea.

They sounded like irrelevant to each other.

But there were some vague clues that linked these scenes together.

The seven levels revealed a vast backdrop. The secrets behind were beginning to show.

Now they were suddenly told that they had to wait for another week before they could experience the next part of the story.

This was too annoying.

Susan blinked and said, “I don’t know the answers to these questions, but there is one person who must know.”

“Who’s that?” Judith was intrigued suddenly.

“The designer of the game, of course, Susan replied with a smile.

Judith was suddenly discouraged. “The game designer surely knows what’s next in the plot, but I can’t force her to tell me

“I think you might be able to do it,” Susan said.

“What?” Judith looked at Susan in confusion.

Penny looked at Susan, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.

Susan chuckled and said, “Didn’t Eason tell you? The designer of the game is going to have dinner with us tonight.”

Judith shook her head subconsciously. “How is that possible? The person your brother is bringing home tonight is…” As she spoke, Judith was stunned for a moment. She looked at Susan in surprise. “The designer of this game is…”

Susan nodded with an innocent look. “Don’t you know? It’s Emma.”

Judith was stunned.

Penny gritted her teeth and finally understood where the uneasiness came from.

Penny thought that Susan just wanted to recommend a game to Judith.

Penny never expected that Susan’s real purpose was like this.

Susan put in so much effort just to help Emma.

but

Penny couldn’t help but look gloomy.

She clenched her fists secretly.

‘Oh, Susan, why are you doing this to me?‘ Penny thought.

Penny’s heart was filled with hatred, yet her voice remained gentle. “So it’s Emma. It doesn’t surprise me. I’ve heard that those living with mental illness can often possess extraordinary gifts in certain areas. For example, many children with autism show extraordinary talents in a variety of fields. I’m sure Emma is the same as them.”

What Penny said directly reminded Judith that Emma was suffering from severe depression.

Judith suddenly looked sullen.

She had to admit that Emma was a genius game designer, so what?

Could this change the fact that Emma had depression?

Susan knew what Judith was thinking. Susan said gently, “Aunt Judith, given that Eason is in love with Emma, who is my colleague, it may be difficult for him to be objective when discussing her. Perhaps it would be better if you heard my opinion, as I have no personal feelings for her.”

Penny felt more and more uneasy and subconsciously wanted to stop Susan from speaking further.

But Judith listened to Susan and said thoughtfully, “What you said makes sense. Susan, tell me, what kind of person Emma

is.”

Susan smiled. “I first contacted Emma when I was working on Starry Romance. I was so obsessed with the project that I asked her if I could buy the copyright. She just asked me not to reveal that the game was adapted from her novel, as she did not wish to become famous. I happily agreed.”

As Susan spoke, Judith listened carefully.

Susan had something to do with this matter and Judith was eager to learn more about Susan, despite Emma’s involvement

in the situation.

“We encountered some difficulty later on,” Susan gently said. “A similar game was released before us and the other party accused us of plagiarism. Unfortunately, they misled people, so we were met with a lot of criticism.”

“And then?” Judith became nervous despite knowing that it was over.

Susan softly said, “Emma stood up for us. After completing her psychological treatment, the first thing she did was to announce the news of the original novel and remind everyone that our game had purchased the copyright. This put an end to the criticism.

“Aunt Judith, Emma was going through a tough time herself during that time, but she stepped up for me. From that moment on, I knew that she was a very kind–hearted person, Susan said slowly.

Judith couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

Hearing what Susan said, she couldn’t help but change her opinion of Emma.

Penny was angry with Susan for meddling in her business, but she said softly on the surface, “Miss Garcia is indeed a very kind–hearted person, but unfortunately, kindness is not always rewarded in this world.”

What Penny said sounded true.

Judith’s eyes flickered slightly.

Emma might be a good person, but it couldn’t change anything.

Being kind was not enough to be Eason’s wife.

Eason’s life was full of unexpected turmoil, and Emma’s kindness might cause trouble.

Susan raised her eyebrows and said, “Kindness doesn’t equate to foolishness. Do you really think someone who can create such an exquisite game is a fool? Aunt Judith, I understand your concerns, but Emma is an incredibly intelligent person. She may be able to adjust to what you’re worried about.”

Judith thought of the game’s expansive worlds and creative designs, nodding in approval.

It was clear that one must have both kindness and wisdom to create such a game.

Seeing Judith hesitating, Penny quickly said, “Despite Emma’s extraordinary wisdom, can her body support her to demonstrate it while she is suffering from severe depression?”

Susan smiled. She had come prepared.

She directly took out a medical record and put it in front of Judith.

“What’s this?” Judith asked hesitantly.

Susan gently said, “I’ve specially investigated Emma’s condition. Depression is one of the mental illnesses, but medication can help suppress it, and there have been cases where some people have managed to remain relapse–free after taking medicine. In Emma’s case, I believe her condition is due to Jeremy, but now that he has received the appropriate punishment, and Emma has released her resentment, the likelihood of her relapsing is quite low. Therefore, I don’t think we should prevent the two lovers from being together due to a slim chance of relapse.”

Judith flipped through Emma’s medical records in silence.

Penny was a little anxious.

She had worked hard to cause Judith to be dissatisfied with Emma.

Was this going to be ruined by Susan like this?

Penny was eager to say something.

But she worried that she would make her intentions too overt, so she was feeling anxious.

Susan sighed and said, “Aunt Judith, Emma is now like a person who is trying her best to make it to shore. It’s up to you to decide whether to push her forward or offer her a helping hand.”

Judith was silent for a long time.

Susan and Penny both looked at her.

After a long time, Judith sighed.

“Aunt Judith?”

Judith patted Susan on her hand and said with a look of understanding, “Your brother asked you to be his persuader, didn’t he? It’s smart of you to think of the game strategy.”

Susan coughed.

Judith smiled and said, “But what you said makes sense. Whoever is able to design such intricate games must have a profound intellect. Emma’s world is expansive, and perhaps depression is a trial she must overcome to become a better

person.”

Judith changed her opinion of Emma.

The game Susan recommended had indeed played a crucial role.

After all, Judith had been obsessed with the game for a few days and gradually became an admirer of the mysterious designer.

A celebrity follower, upon learning that their idol had depression, wouldn’t first feel repulsed, but rather, sympathetic.

Although Judith wasn’t an overly passionate fan, there was a subtle twinge of sympathy in her feelings too.

In addition, Susan was really a competent persuader, so it was difficult for Judith to stick to her attitude.

“You’re indeed an open–minded person, Aunt Judith.” Susan flattered Judith with a smile.

“You.” Judith smiled at her and then stood up. “I’m going to prepare dinner. There are guests coming, so I have to prepare

well.”

Judith hummed a tune and left.

Her attitude said it all.

Penny clenched her fists tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms.

Judith had completely hated Emma.

But when Susan intervened, she changed Judith’s opinion, turning the situation around.

‘Susan!

I have wanted to be friends with you.

Why are you going against me like this?

You made me do this, Penny roared wildly in her heart.
