Reborn as the Villain in a Romance Fantasy
'A self-centric Female Lead, lost-in-love Male Leads, and useless extras who will die. On top of it, this world will not be here for long because of that ancient threat. So, what should I do now?' What kind of world was a world of Female-Oriented Fantasy romance? One filled with tinted glass and roses? Life should have been easy here, right? Wrong! Layla had read this book before, and she knew what happened. "Those useless leads left this world in a shamble! I need to do something about it before it gets destroyed. If I am going to live here, I need to ensure this world stays alive long enough. Who has time for romance when the world will end soon?" Her goal was set, and her life was laid out. Layla was going to use whatever she could to secure her second life. Everyone was a useful piece from here on, and Layla used them well to achieve her end goal. This might be a world based on a fantasy romance, but she would ensure it would not repeat it's ending. ______ Note: It has a strong Female Protagonist as the MC. No romance, no harem, no yuri.
Ch 174: How much should I lend you? - Part 1
"Mary, I need you to start a rumor about my loan lending business. Make it as weird as you can and badmouth me as a kid who does not know what they are doing. Do emphasize how easy it was for you to fool me and get a low-interest loan."
Layla asked her maid for a favor, and Mary's eyes twinkled with mischief as soon as she heard what her young miss wanted her to do.
"Of course, miss! Consider this done. I will have good news for you soon."
Mary disappeared during the early hours, and she came back once it was late at night. The grin on Mary's face told the story of a successful day, but Layla did not ask her what the maid did.
The fruits of Mary's labor were seen the very next day when one of the large business owners came to her with a nervous step. The man was biting his lips, but he relaxed as soon as he noticed Layla's age.
"Excuse me, but I heard I can get a loan by applying here. Are you the one who will provide me with this loan?"
