All Chapters of Back to the Day My Family Played Dead: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"You and your family have truly suffered a horrible death, Fred—an entire family gone just like that, without even leaving a descendant behind!"I stared blankly at the scene as a sudden burst of wailing echoed in my ears. I noticed three coffins lined up neatly before me, holding the bodies of Wendy Lowe, Fred Lancaster, and Draco Lancaster—Mom, Dad, and my younger brother.Those who were mourning so passionately were Shawn Lancaster and Olivia Smith—my uncle and aunt from the countryside.I had been reborn. I had returned to the day my whole family staged their deaths. I watched them lie peacefully in their coffins as if they were merely asleep. A sudden wave of fury rushed through me. I let out a sharp cry and threw myself at Draco, who looked completely at peace.I bellowed, "You're truly a shame to the Lancaster family, Draco! How could you just die along with Mom and Dad? How could you just end the Lancaster family bloodline? I'm going to properly teach you a lesson today on

"W-What did you just say, Hope? What do you mean your family's money and valuables have been given away?" Aunt Olivia demanded. She dropped her caring act and glared at me viciously.I shook my head desperately as tears streamed down my face. "I have no idea. I don't know anything at all, Aunt Olivia."Upon seeing me shaking with fear, Lucy stepped in and placed herself between us. "Why are you taking this out on a child? Your brother, his wife, and their child are all dead. Rather than trying to lay them to rest in peace, you're actually bullying their sole remaining daughter."Having said that, Lucy fiercely spat a mouthful of saliva directly into Aunt Olivia's face.Aunt Olivia's arrogance instantly vanished at the sight of the impeccably dressed woman—someone who clearly wasn't to be trifled with. After all, she was merely a woman from the countryside with no experience of the world. She still stubbornly pushed forward a sheet of paper, telling me to put it in writing that

Just as everyone stood in a tense standoff, a few uniformed officers suddenly appeared at the gate. "We received a report that heretical practices are being openly carried out here. We are here to make arrests."I glanced past them and smiled at Lucy's son. I had no intention of sparing a single person who had helped Mom and the others torment me from the very moment I was reborn.In that instant, everyone shifted their gaze toward the cleric, who became visibly nervous. "I-I did no such things, officers. I—"He was cut off by the inspection squad before he could even finish his sentence. "You can save your excuses for later. Why are you the only one standing there dressed in a cleric's robe if you're innocent? Why isn't anyone else dressed like that?"They moved in to handcuff the cleric, whose face had already turned deathly pale, after saying that.In the meantime, the crowd promptly stepped aside, clearing a path for them. Upon realizing that he had no way out, the cleric lo

In the dead of the night, the streets were completely silent, with the moonlight casting a silver glow across the ground.Having been closed for an entire day, the gate to the Lancaster residence finally creaked open, and under the cover of the night, the trio emerged, each holding a small bundle and peering out surreptitiously.Upon seeing that the street outside was completely empty, Draco straightened right up and swaggered out of the courtyard. "Get a move on, Mom and Dad! Didn't I tell you that no one would find out that we're running away? Those fools won't even know what hit them by the time we're living it up in Halveron. "You just wouldn't listen, though, insisting on staging that fake death stunt with Mom, which almost got my face ruined by that worthless wretch!"Draco's voice rang out loud and clear in the dead silence of the night."You'd better keep your voice down, you troublesome brat! Do you want to wake up the whole neighborhood and have them watch us leave? Who

Upon hearing that, the crowd's collective gaze followed her line of sight and settled upon me.Mom, who had initially thought her ploy had worked, slowly lost her nerve as the crowd began to murmur in disgust."How can that family be so shameless? Do they really think we don't know what kind of life her daughter had to endure at home?""I know, right? I heard that she's already 19 years old, but she looks barely any bigger than my 15-year-old daughter. I mean, heaven knows how badly they mistreated her back at home.""Exactly! She got lucky, though, since her parents made her legally sever ties with them just to safeguard their property. Otherwise, she would be right there suffering alongside them today!"Throughout the discussion, the crowd kept up their pace. If anything, they hurled things with increased speed, and before long, all the rotten vegetables in their hands were gone.In those days, people were reluctant to waste even a scrap of food, which just went to show how tho
