Rebirth Rules: Don't Help Seat Thieves

When my husband, Lucius Croft, and I were on a flight that was heading toward our honeymoon destination, his childhood friend, Belinda Todd, suddenly appeared before us while pregnant. She claimed that she had bought an economy-class ticket and that she wanted to go on a vacation with us.

Not only did Lucius not reject Belinda, but he also wanted me to give my first-class ticket away to her.

I turned his suggestion down. So, he helped Belinda occupy the first-class seat next to us.

When I realized that an old lady was the owner of that particular seat, I did everything I could to convince Lucius to return the seat to her.

Unexpectedly, Belinda was so mad that she got off the plane right away. On her way home, she got into an accident, which killed her and her unborn baby.

Lucius attended her funeral calmly. But on the day I was supposed to go into labor, he tied me up in the car and staged a car accident on purpose.

"This is all your fault! If it wasn't for you, Belinda never would've died! You deserve to make it up to her with your life!"

I could only watch the car drive into the tree in total despair. All I saw was a huge explosion and tongues of flame around me before I completely lost consciousness.

When I open my eyes again, I see Belinda standing before me with her belly jutting out.

This time, I no longer stop them.

What they don't know is that the inconspicuous-looking old lady is actually a member of the esteemed Howard family, also known as the global business powerhouse. She's also the grandmother of the richest man in the world, Ethan Howard.

"Haven't you made enough trouble, Zoe? You refused to give up your seat in first class earlier, and now you're sticking your nose into someone else's business too!" Lucius Croft, my husband, bellowed.

"It's alright, Lucius. I'm just suffering from a bit of a stomachache, but I don't want you guys fighting over me," Belinda Todd, the conniving mistress, murmured.

I finally realized that I had been reborn once I heard Lucius' accusations and Belinda's tearful sobbing.

I could still feel the agonizing pain and burning sensation from my past life, so I immediately withdrew my hand.

In my past life, I had helped Grace Reed, the elderly woman, and she reached out to me after the flight to introduce herself. In gratitude, she brokered a partnership for our company and helped us land several major contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lucius expanded the company significantly through that connection, but rather than showing gratitude, he treated it as a matter of course and even repaid my kindness by causing my death.

Lucius and Belinda were so intent on destroying themselves in this life, so I had no intention of stopping them from seeking their own end this time.

Lucius shot me a harsh glare when he noticed
