The Mean-mouthed Bestie and The Resentful NeighborChapter 1
When my best friend came to visit, we ran into the upstairs neighbors taking their baby for a walk.
Despite my repeated attempts to stop her, she couldn't help but make a rude comment about the baby, suggesting there might be something wrong. This led to a huge scene.
Later, the neighbors' baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome. My best friend disappeared, leaving me to deal with the aftermath.
The neighbors, vindictive and harboring resentment, poisoned my whole family, leading to our deaths.
After my death, I discovered that my best friend had been scheming all along. She live-streamed her fake grief, profiting off our tragedy.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back at the moment my friend had come to visit…
It was time to fight fire with fire and make sure these people were locked in conflict with each other, unable to harm anyone else.
"Eve, look at that child. He's obviously abnormal. Does his family know about it?" Rachael Johnson, my best friend, whispered, shaking my arm.
...
I paused, taking in the scene before me.
Had I… been reborn?
I looked at Rachael, and a chill ran down my spine.
In my previous life, Rachael had come to visit. While we were out for a walk, she insisted on telling my upstairs neighbors that something seemed wrong with their several-month-old baby and suggested they should have the baby checked, ignoring my warnings.
The neighbors were upset and argued with her.
Later, when the child was diagnosed with Down syndrome, Rachael had already run back home and cut off contact.
The neighbors relentlessly harassed me and my family, insisting that we had cursed her baby.
They eventually poisoned us, resulting in the deaths of my entire family.
The incident became a sensation online. Rachael seized the opportunity to play the victim, live-streaming her sorrow and making a fortune off our misfortune.
Looking at the woman who was supposed to be my close friend, I suppressed my anger.
"Eve, what's wrong? Why are you daydreaming?" Rachael asked, shaking me again as I didn't respond.
...
"Nothing. What did you just say?"
"I said, do you see that child in the woman's arms? Something seems off. Should we tell them to get a check-up?"
Such topics are usually avoided by families with children.
