Reborn: A Battle of Wits with the Phoenix Male

Finley-in-law, Finley Lawson, had been frail since childhood.

Because of this, my mother-in-law, Maria Lawson, wanted me to give him my placenta to eat.

I thought it was superstitious nonsense and worried it would harm him.

So, I threw the placenta away.

Later, Finley's health didn't improve.

Every time he coughed, Maria would say, "It's because Zoe didn't want you to get better. She threw away the placenta without permission, ruining your chance."

He grew to resent me and conspired with my husband and mother-in-law to steal my assets, leaving me penniless and leading to my tragic death.
