The Ungrateful Sister-in-law

Damian viewed me as a mere roadblock on his path to wealth, going so far as to drug my drink and murder me during a family visit. But instead of dying, I wake up transported back in time to the day of his full-month celebration. Confronted with Tiara's eager anticipation, I choose a different path this time. Rather than interfering, I simply smile and tell her to do whatever she pleases, completely stepping away from their greed.

After leaving my hometown, I threw myself back into the research project.

And I worked late every day.

"Nothing special, just the formula Ansley gave us!" she cried.

"I knew that Ansley wasn't any good. The formula she gave us must've been bad, and now it made my son sick…"

Marcus chimed in from the phone.

"Shut up! Ansley is a great person. I bet it was your mom sneaking some corn mush to Damian while I wasn't looking last night…"

The voices on the phone were getting chaotic, so I held the phone away in disgust and hung up.
