Toxic Family Ties

Reborn into a life of toxic family ties, Ryan navigates betrayal and manipulation with newfound wisdom. As she confronts the dark secrets surrounding her family's past, she reclaims her fate, refusing to be the scapegoat any longer. Can she break free from the curse that binds her?

Prologue
I was reborn on the day my sister-in-law found the Toxic charm.
In my previous life, because of this bracelet, I was killed by my niece at Megan Price's instigation, and my family even claimed I had committed suicide.
This time, when Megan boasted about the bracelet and wanted to give it to Samantha Quinn, I kept my thoughts to myself.
When Samantha stole a classmate's dance costume out of jealousy, I dealt with it by hitting her and distancing myself, avoiding the mistakes of my past life that let Megan manipulate me.
When my overweight niece failed her SATs, Megan blamed me for not taking care of her. I posted the video of me distancing myself in the family group chat, proving my innocence.
Later, Samantha was diagnosed with stage two stomach cancer. She begged me to take her to the hospital, but remembering her betrayal in my past life, I firmly refused.
However, Megan only refunded items using my name, and when the merchant came knocking, she tried to frame me. As I exposed her, Samantha had an attack. At the hospital, we discovered it was late-stage stomach cancer.
David Price blamed Megan's superstitions for Samantha's condition and beat her, but Megan faulted me for not noticing the Toxic charm's issues.
Afterward, Samantha begged me to remove her oxygen tube, hoping to trade her death for a large sum of money, but I didn't fall for it and said I'd keep her alive with medication.
After Samantha passed away, Megan apologized and gave me a pouch, which surprisingly contained the Toxic charm and a curse.
I called the police, and David and Megan were arrested. Linda Quinn pleaded for leniency, but I refused and made my stance clear.
David and Megan got their comeuppance.
In the end, I got promoted and had a bright future ahead.
I'm grateful I changed my fate, no longer hurt by this family, and hope to truly live for myself in the future.
Prologue:
Megan Price loved getting things for free.
Whatever she found, once it entered her pocket, it became her property.
One day, she found a glowing bracelet near the factory and wanted to give it to her daughter as a gift for her SATs.
As a chemistry Ph.D., I had it tested and discovered it was radioactive waste from the chemical plant. I told her to throw it far away.
Megan reluctantly discarded it.
On the day of the SATs, Samantha's classmate wore this bracelet and achieved excellent results, while Samantha unfortunately failed.
Megan said the bracelet was a lucky charm and accused me of ruining Samantha's future, calling me the family's sinner.
She incited Samantha to poison me with rat poison:
'My daughter should have been accepted into the Shanghai Theatre Academy! It's all your fault for ruining her future!'
I died at the dinner table, while Linda and Samantha told the police I had committed suicide due to work pressure.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Megan found the bracelet.
This time, I said:
'It's your find, so you decide what to do with it.'
