Chapter 2

"Is your sister's laundry done?"

"Are your dad's shoes polished?"

"Are my clothes ironed?!"

The woman speaking was Brenda, the woman I'd called Mom for over a decade in my previous life.

I whispered, "No, none of it."

"Look at your sister, she's tutoring on a holiday. What about you?"

Brenda was already at the stairwell.

It was exactly like this in my last life.

Seeing the scene inside, I screamed, and they were caught red-handed in their panic.

Brenda went ballistic, moving the entire family out that very night.

Mia cried, vowing never to contact the married man again and promising to focus on her studies.

Later, she even thanked me in front of Mom and Dad for "pulling her back from the brink."

After that, she went back to being the good girl in everyone's eyes, smoothly getting into a top-tier university, as if nothing had happened.

After her graduation party, she took me out to karaoke. After a glass of orange juice, Mia sneered, "Do you know? You ruined my love life."

Dazed, the married man's figure swayed before my eyes.

Mia and the married man exchanged a knowing nod and a chilling smile. I became the hotpot meat and handmade sausage on their dinner table...

And her? She continued her affair with the married man in college, spreading rumors that I had run off with some random guy.

Brenda would tell anyone who'd listen that I brought it all on myself, that it was my fate.

Thinking of all this, I clenched my fists and carefully slipped away.

Leaving Mia and the married man to continue their "tutoring session."

"Okay, okay, I'm coming right down."
