I Was Reborn and Laughed as My In-Laws’ Family Was Destroyed by Their Own Actions

“Maybe being a chef is just his hobby, maybe he’s actually a rich kid!”

My sister-in-law chimed in quickly. “Honestly, I’ve suspected it too. He’s a chef, but his cooking isn’t that great. I bet he’s some rich kid experiencing life just like they always show in TV dramas.”

A glint of suspicion flashed in my mother-in-law’s eyes, but she still seemed uneasy.

She pulled me aside and whispered, “Helena, could you look him up in your company system? Find out what his parents do. Only when we know the truth can we be completely at ease.”

Before she could finish, my husband cut her off sharply, “Mom, why are you being so suspicious just like Helena?”

“She’s already so incompetent in everything. Then what do you expect her to investigate? What does she know? Are you sure?”

“That’s true, Mom, I don’t know.”

I quickly stepped forward to interrupt my husband. “Mom, Giselle’s boyfriend is fine. Didn’t Martin say he drives a car worth tens of millions? He can’t be bad.”

Seeing Giselle nestle into that man’s embrace, a cold chuckle rose in my heart. In this lifetime, I would like to see whose lives would be sacrificed to bury this ‘happy life’ of my sister-in-law.

Probably afraid this hard-won golden groom would slip away, the very next morning, Martin announced Giselle was going to register their marriage with that man.

“Helena, as her sister-in-law, you should go too with her.”

Reborn into this life, I had far too many things to do, so how could I have time to spend with them?

“I can’t go. I have a duty today. Wish Giselle happiness for me.”

Martin sighed, looking defeated. “You’re never there when I need you. But since you didn’t cause trouble for Giselle’s wedding yesterday, I’ll forgive you this once.”

The moment Martin stepped out the door, I immediately called my parents, urging them to avoid contacting the in-laws or Martin during this period. Then I rushed back to the office to check the newly issued wanted notice.

What I saw terrified me. I thought only Felix’s parents were involved in overseas fraud, but he wasn’t just in debt. He was also a serial abuser. He’d driven away two ex-wives and one of them was still listed on his household records.

The man was missing. Looking at his address in the mountains, where there was no road access yet, a cold sweat broke out on my back.

Marrying into this family wouldn’t just be a matter of being deceived, I might even lose my life.

My sister-in-law’s innocent smile as a child and her sinister grin when my parents were burned to death in my previous life, flashed repeatedly in my mind.

Just as I was struggling with this dilemma, the urgent ringing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. Seeing it was Giselle calling, I answered immediately. Before I could speak, her sobs cut me off.

“Helena, did you do something to sabotage us? Why did they say his parents are criminals when Felix and I went to get our marriage certificate? They dragged him in for questioning for ages! What does that even mean?”

“Tell me, are you just jealous of my happiness?”

“Helena Wagner! I just praised you this morning and now you’re causing trouble for me! Can we even live like this anymore?”

Her resentful tone snapped me back to reality. I checked today’s schedule and saw that the girl assigned to investigate the case was the kindest in our team.
