Reborn to the Day Before My Mother-in-law Cheated

My mother-in-law had an affair with some rich playboy and threw everything she had into it. She even sold the house Danny and I bought to pay off his debts. When I tried to talk sense into her, she turned it around and accused me of being jealous that she was "marrying into wealth."

In the end, she got scammed out of everything and was left drowning in a million dollars of debt. And guess who she blamed? Me—claiming it was all my fault for not stopping her.

One night, she sneaked into my room while I was asleep and stabbed me to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in time—right before her affair started.

This time, I pretended I didn't know anything and wasted no time agreeing to Danny's divorce request. With this insane family, the farther I could get away, the better.

In the bathroom, the brand-new bottle of perfume I bought last week was sitting wide open on the counter. And the person who had just walked out of there was my fifty-something mother-in-law, Caroline Glenn.

Caroline and I never got along, and I absolutely hated it when she touched my stuff. But instead of throwing a fit like I normally would, I calmly closed the bottle, tossed it in the trash, and said nothing.

Danny looked at me in surprise. "Andrea, you're not mad?"

I kept a straight face and shook my head, staying silent.

Last time around, this stupid bottle of perfume led to a huge blowout between Caroline and me. It got so bad that I ended up catching her in the middle of her affair, which threw the entire family into chaos.

Even though Caroline kept insisting that her "new boyfriend" was some big-shot rich guy, I never believed her.

"A rich guy who makes you send him money and takes you out to McDonald's on dates?" I had snapped at her.

Caroline sank everything she had into that scam, even stole my jewelry and pawned it to send money to the guy. When I confronted her, I was so furious that my hands were shaking.

"Can you seriously not see that you're being scammed?" I'd yelled.

But Caroline refused to believe me, insisting that I was just jealous she'd landed such a wealthy man. The worst part? Danny actually believed her.

After seeing a few photos of fancy cars and luxury homes that were obviously lifted from the internet, he started daydreaming about his future life as a rich guy. He even listened to Caroline's nonsense and secretly sold our house.

The moment the money hit his account, Caroline's so-called boyfriend vanished without a trace.

She wouldn't give up, though. She went to the phone company, trying to track his number, only to find out it had been deactivated. And on top of that, she found out the guy had used her personal information to take out loans in her name.

Suddenly, Caroline was saddled with hundreds of thousands in debt, and we were getting nonstop harassment calls. When she didn't pay up, our front door got splashed with red paint, and they even left dead rats to scare us.

It wasn't until then that Caroline and Danny finally realized they'd been duped. But instead of taking responsibility, they turned around and blamed me. According to them, if I'd just stepped in and stopped them, they never would've fallen for it.

Caroline even sneaked into my room in the middle of the night and stabbed me to death.

The numbness from losing so much blood still lingers in my mind.

Danny was still talking beside me, oblivious to my thoughts. He was going on about how he ran into a coworker yesterday, all happy with his wife and kids. But we'd been married two years and still had no children, and Danny said it was a shame.

What he really meant was that he blamed me for not getting pregnant.

I caught the implication and let out a cold laugh. "If that's how you feel, then let's get divorced. You can go find someone who can give you kids."
