The next day, Finn didn’t take me to the
from work when I saw her looking much thinner but still meticulously made up and dressed beautifully. She walked towards me, arm in arm with Leo.
“Sister–in–law, I’ve applied to Mom to learn the business from you and help ease some of your burden.”
Leo thought to himself, *Soon, I’ll make you and Finn pay for this.*
Suddenly, I recalled that in my previous life, Finn had died unexpectedly. So it was him who had caused it! And in this life, he not only wanted to harm Finn but also me.
I struggled to keep my emotions in check as I faced Jessica. “Alright, come
tomorrow.”

I said this intentionally, wanting to uncover her ulterior motives. In the next moment, I could hear her thoughts: *What a fool! Just wait, I’ll soon have you all dead and live my life freely!*
She had been in the dungeon for a few days and had come back with a clearer
mind. But she didn’t know I could hear
people’s thoughts. How could she possibly harm me?
In my previous life, Finn had died from poisoning. I suddenly remembered the time I saw a cabinet full of colorful
potions in Leo’s basement. He often experimented on me with those potions. Sometimes I would faint, and other times I’d be overly energetic. Looking back, those must have been the ingredients for poison.
I brought Jessica to the office and started
her as an intern. She had learned to control her emotions now. Whatever I said, she complied. I knew her transformation was due to her plotting a murder scheme. Leo wanted Finn and me dead, while she wanted all three of us gone.
But just the fact that she wanted to kill

Leo gave me an opportunity. I quickly
devised a plan.
I secretly approached Leo without Finn knowing. I knew Leo well; he liked obedient women, which was why I had been able to stay close to him for so long. I deliberately dressed provocatively and approached him. “Leo, I like you.”
He perked up immediately. “Sister–in–law, aren’t you afraid my brother will kill you?”
“I’ve always wanted to follow you.”
I bit my lip, pretending to be shy.
“And I want to tell you something–my sister is planning to poison you. I heard her talking to a man about it yesterday at the office.”
The moment I said this, Leo’s face turned
furious.
“Is that true?”
“Of course! She said you’ve been hitting her, so she wants to kill you.”
“She said she wants to rise to power.”

Fortunately, I had my previous memories to guide me, allowing me to manipulate
the situation.
Once Leo believed me, he was convinced. After all, his twisted deeds were known only to him and Jessica.
He said, “Just watch me deal with that
woman.”
“Sister–in–law, wait for me. Once I take care of Finn and her, you’ll be my lady, and I’ll take care of you.”
With that, he left.
Ha! Did he really think I was that naive? I wasn’t going to follow him!
I immediately went to find Finn. Although his life and death didn’t concern me too much, he had helped me earn money this time and had been so attentive in sharing workplace experiences.
In the office, he looked surprised when I mentioned my conversation with Leo.
“What evidence do you have that Leo
wants to harm me?”

I pulled out my voice recorder and played the conversation I had just had with Leo. The earlier part was me deliberately flirting with him, which I found cringeworthy.
I quickly explained, “I was just acting to gain his trust.”
Finn didn’t respond but his expression darkened. I fell silent, feeling a bit dejected.
In the next moment, he pulled me into his embrace. The scent of pine enveloped me, and I could hear his heart pounding.
I was completely at a loss. He gazed intently at me.
“Samantha, I advise you not to entertain any thoughts of betrayal. As long as you’re my wife, you should be loyal to me.”
This silly boy, why was he fixating on that?
“Let’s not worry about that right now. The key issue is that your brother wants to harm you. What are your thoughts?”
