Can He Be Stronger Than His Wife?

February 22nd was a special date. In Rita's previous life, many people had anticipated it would mark the start of the fourth game beta. At that time, although Rita was still unaware of the game's existence, she knew about Rick's major moves—he had gathered a few people and established a small studio, composed of both players and well-connected non-players. One of these non-players was **Aaron**, a wealthy second-generation heir with a privileged background.

Just two days before the game's official invasion, Rick had brought a group home for dinner. At that point in Rita's life, her career had been completely destroyed, and the resources Rick had introduced through the **Lopez** family were hardly beneficial. She spent most of her time at home, and she was there the night of that dinner. Among the guests were **Julian** and **Aaron**. Judging by the timeline, it was probably around now.
