f things had stayed peaceful like this, it
would have been fine.
But Sarah’s cousin wasn’t one to be trifled
with.
Not content with the family’s attention shifting to Sarah, she was determined to
surpass her.
く
In the end, she came up with a terrible idea
and consulted foreign experts about an
ongoing research project.
This directly led to a leak of the entire
project.
If it weren’t for Sarah turning the tide and helping to modify the reagents used in the experiment, everyone’s hard work would have
been in vain.
Because of this incident, Sarah’s cousin was charged with espionage, the same crime she had falsely accused Sarah of in my past life, and was arrested by the National Security
Bureau for interrogation.
David and his wife were also implicated

because they lived with her.
Even though they tried to clear their names,
they were still expelled from the lab and could no longer access the same level of research.
They could only sit in front of the TV, watching their biological daughter, whom they had despised and looked down upon, achieve results again and again, and be interviewed by the news again and again.
In the end, their cousin, who had been
released from prison, held a grudge against
them.
She set a fire, killing one of them on the spot and leaving the other with severe burns.

It was the commissar who told me their fate.
Lily overheard the Millers‘ conversation and,
unwilling to be abandoned by them, poisoned
their family’s meal with paraquat.
The Millers never suspected her and never
imagined that the daughter and sister they
had raised for so many years would be a
vicious viper.
After the meal, John, who had been injured in
battle and had a large appetite due to his
military service, died directly from the
poisoning.
My mother, brother, and sister survived, but
their respiratory and digestive systems were
permanently damaged, and they could only
rely on medication to survive for the rest of
But the three survivors lost John, their
protector, and no longer had the ability to live
as they did before.
They couldn’t even afford medicine and could
only return to their hometown in disgrace.
It was said that they could only take turns
sharing the medicine.
In the end, the pain was too much to bear,
and none of them could hold on any longer.
They died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hearing this news, Sarah and I didn’t feel
much.
Their endings were no worse than ours in our
past lives

Their endings were no worse than ours in our
past lives.
It was all their own fault.
