I left a book review in the comment section: [If I were Anabel's stepmother, I would love her and the book could come to an end.]

I didn't expect that I actually become her stepmother going back to the beginning of this book.

Since I had come, I would try to adapt to the environment.

I was fortunate to be involved in her life, and I wouldn't let her experience the hardships in the book again.

I had tried to be nice to Anabel.

But as soon as my attitude changed, the bound system would remind me.

"The system belongs to a wicked stepmother who tries all she can to hurt her with the most vicious words.

"The host should try to play the role of the stepmother, or you'll get struck by lightning!"

Not only would I trigger the system if I treated her well, but there would also be a thunder in my ears.

One time, I wanted to bring some food to Anabel, who was punished by Kayla and not allowed to eat.

Just as I reached her door, a bolt of lightning struck right next to my feet.

The carpet was struck, leaving a smoking hole, while the system was threatening me.

"Host, this is a warning. If you deviate from the character again, I will strike you!"

I thought, How dare you!

You're indeed serious about it!

You wicked system!

I cursed the system in my heart, but it was useless. I still couldn't do anything for her.

But after what just happened, it seemed like I understood something.

No matter what I did, it seemed that I could get away with it as long as I could find a reasonable excuse for that matter.

This morning, Kayla took Jasper out to play and didn't come back until evening.

Anabel was not abused today, so I felt better and had a peaceful day.

But as soon as they returned home, they would cause some trouble.

Anabel, who was thin and weak, stood by the stairs, waiting for the orders of Kayla and Jasper.

Anabel was already five years old, but she was only slightly taller than Jasper, who was three years old.

But Jasper was far fatter than her.

Even so, Jasper still ate a lot if he wanted to.

This time, he was enjoying the fried chicken he bought from outside.

Maybe because he usually bullied Anabel, Jasper was showing off with a chicken leg in his hand.

"Kayla bought chicken legs for me. They are delicious!"

After speaking, he tore off a big piece of meat and ate rudely.
