Billionaire Villainess (Unedited)

Computer (Edited 8/31/24)

Judith slammed the door to her room shut, her frustration boiling over as she paced back and forth.

"God damn it! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!" she cursed under her breath. "Why the f*ck didn't I stay in character? I messed up twice in just half an hour! Now they're all going to be suspicious of me! I really need to get a grip on my anger!" She ran a hand through her hair, anxiety gnawing at her as she replayed the dinner scene in her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Judith tried to calm herself. "I need to stay cool. I can't afford to blow my cover again." She scanned the room, searching for a distraction, something to take her mind off the disaster that was dinner. Her eyes landed on a laptop sitting on the study table. A sudden idea sparked in her mind. "Maybe I can find something interesting about this world online."

Excited by the prospect of immersing herself in something other than her current predicament, she quickly walked over to the laptop, pulled out the chair, and sat down. The familiar sound of the laptop booting up filled the quiet room, and soon the screen lit up, prompting her for a password.

"Password..." Judith muttered, furrowing her brow as she tried to recall the original Judith's memories. After a moment, it came to her—the original's birthday. She typed it in, and the laptop unlocked.

Once inside, she cracked her fingers, ready to dive into her research. "Okay, let's see what this world's internet has to offer. First, what's the main search engine here?"

Judith scanned the icons on the screen until one caught her eye: 'Moogle.'

"Moogle, huh? Looks like this world's version of Google. Even the color scheme is the same." She clicked on the icon, and a search engine window popped up, confirming her suspicion.

For the next couple of hours, Judith immersed herself in the digital world, scrolling through various websites and reading news articles. The more she read, the more similarities she found between this world and her original world. Yet, despite the familiar feel of things, there were odd differences that kept her intrigued.

One thing, however, began to irritate her. Most of the articles she came across focused on Gabriel Vanderson. The heir to the richest family in the world seemed to dominate the news cycle.

Judith rolled her eyes as she skimmed yet another headline about him. "Yes, yes, we get it. He's the heir to the richest family and incredibly handsome. Blah, blah, blah. It's pathetic how obsessed people are with this guy. Get a life!"

Despite her disdain, she noted that the obsession with Gabriel was disturbingly similar to the way Earth's media fawned over its own celebrities. "Maybe people here are just as shallow as they are back on Earth," she mused, "or maybe it's worse."

As she continued her research, she learned that the planet was called Eartha—another striking similarity to Earth. It also had its versions of Bing, Yahoo, Myspace, and Facebook, called Ping, Yoohoo, Urspace, and Biobook, respectively.

But one thing was glaringly absent: a version of YouTube.

"How can there be no YouTube equivalent?" Judith muttered, her frustration growing. She tried searching for similar video-sharing platforms, but the results were disappointing. The websites she found had low-quality content and videos that were only a few minutes long. It wasn't the robust, diverse platform she was used to.

"That's a bummer," she sighed, leaning back in her chair. "How can this world have versions of all the other popular social media sites but not YouTube? Maybe I should just create one..."

The idea hit her like a bolt of lightning. She sat up straight, her mind racing with possibilities. Back on Earth, Judith had been a skilled software engineer. Coding and hacking had been her hobbies since childhood, long before she ever entered college. She knew the ins and outs of building websites and digital platforms.

"Can I even do it? Should I even do it?" she wondered aloud. The thought of creating this world's version of YouTube was both thrilling and daunting. If she succeeded, she could potentially make a fortune and gain the financial independence to free herself from the Wellesters and Vandersons. She could carve out her own place in this world and leave her so-called family behind.

Her eyes gleamed with determination. "I'm going to do it," Judith decided, her heart pounding with resolve. "I'm going to create this world's YouTube."

She already had a name in mind: Metube.

But as the initial excitement wore off, a new thought sobered her. "Can I really do this alone?" She bit her lip, the weight of the challenge settling in. Building a platform like Metube would require more than just coding skills. It would take time, resources, and maybe even a team.

Yet, despite the doubts creeping in, Judith felt a fire ignite within her. This was her chance, her way to take control of her new life. And she wasn't about to let it slip through her fingers.
