Magical Student Wealth Code In Luck Challenges

Chapter 7: Emma's Inner Fight

Sunlight slowly crept through Alex's apartment window, illuminating the quiet room. Alex was sitting in a corner of the room with a pile of financial documents scattered before him, checking the latest developments of the investments he was following. However, something was undermining his mind, a sense of uncertainty that continued to haunt him.

Elsewhere, Emma sits alone in a cafe, staring at a cup of coffee that has since been untouched. His face looked pale and his mind was being buffeted by the inevitable inner opposition. Now is the moment the truth must be faced, the consequence of the choices it makes.

Ever since journalists began digging deeper into Alex's sudden source of wealth, Emma felt increasingly squeezed into a dilemma. He knew the true source of that wealth, a computer system capable of forecasting financial trends with incredible accuracy. Emma is the only person who knows this secret besides Alex.

However, the trust he has built with Alex over the years makes him hesitant to reveal this truth. He knows that revealing this secret could shake Alex's life, question his integrity, and even attract unwanted attention.

On the other hand, a sense of morality and responsibility drives him to reveal the truth. Alex is getting closer to the point where his success is starting to raise questions from the public and the media. Emma knew that if she remained silent, the consequences could be severe.

Emma's views are torn between her desire to protect Alex and the truth that must be revealed. In a fierce inner battle, he felt like he was at a crossroads, where every choice brought great consequences.

She looks back on her friendship journey with Alex, how they fought together through tough times as college students, sharing laughter and tears. Emma feels like she's a big secret keeper protecting Alex from unnecessary burdens.

However, on the other hand, he also considered the long-term impact of this decision. Did he really help Alex by hiding the truth? Or did he just spare Alex the consequences he was supposed to bear?

While Emma struggles with her inner opposition, the journalist who traces the story about Alex draws closer to the truth. He contacts the people Alex has worked with, tracks the transaction and investment trail, trying to uncover this sudden source of wealth.

Meanwhile, in Alex's apartment, a meeting with an old friend who is also a famous journalist, Lisa, further complicates the situation. Lisa asks some sharp questions about how Alex can achieve success so quickly, questioning whether all this is really the result of his own hard work.

As Alex answered hesitantly, Emma felt as if there was an increasingly heavy burden on her shoulders. He knew that the time was getting closer to making a difficult decision, whether it was to protect a secret or reveal it.

Alex looked at Emma's facial expression and felt a tension in the air. "What's up, Emma? You look worried."

Emma sighed deeply before finally saying the words she had been holding back all this time. "Alex, I know the source of all this wealth. I know about the system that gives you investment recommendations and financial predictions. I'm the only one who knows this secret."

Alex's face emanated a mixture of surprise, confusion, and finally recognition. He felt the safe base under his feet shaken. "What do you mean, Emma? You know about the system?"

Emma nodded slowly, eyes filled with confusion and regret. "I know, Alex. I know everything."

Alex feels his world is collapsing. He contemplated all the struggles he had experienced, all the victories he felt. Is it all just the result of this system? Was his effort, his determination, all of that just an illusion?

However, amidst her confusion and disappointment, she also saw Emma's eyes filled with honesty. She senses that no matter what happens, Emma is her true friend, who is always by her side.

"Now what should we do, Emma?" he asked with a trembling voice.

Emma looked at Alex with great determination. "We have to decide together, Alex. Whether we keep this secret hidden or deal with it with honesty."

Alex pondered for a moment, contemplating the implications of each choice. In the quiet peace of the night, he felt like he had found a new footing. Whatever his choice, he knew that he was no longer alone on this journey.

In this chapter, Emma's inner conflict grows deeper as she struggles between protecting Alex or revealing the truth. Journalists are getting closer to the truth, and Emma feels pressured
