Chapter 1
The new lawyer at our firm, Chloe Hill, claims she’s been reborn.
A publicly traded company wanted to sign a ten–million–dollar contract with us, but she told our boss Josh Green that the
company had problems. If we took on this case, our firm wouldn’t just lose we’d face massive compensation claims.
Josh listened to her advice with some skepticism.
The next day, the company’s scandal was indeed exposed, and the law firm that took their case faced millions in damages.
Afterward, Josh wanted to celebrate our narrow escape and asked me to book a restaurant for the celebration.
But Chloe told Josh not to go to that restaurant because there would be a gas explosion.
Sure enough, within hours, the restaurant’s gas explosion made headline news.
After these two incidents, Josh became a firm believer that Chloe was truly reborn.
To keep Chloe at the firm, he gave her the executive position he had originally promised me.
When I submitted my resignation, Chloe urged Josh to stop me.

“If Leah switches firms, within a year she’ll use the resources she gained at our firm to crush us, and the whole company will have to shut down.”
My boyfriend and colleague Martin Gomez sided with Chloe. “Chloe’s right. I’ve already seen the job offer from Verity Law Firm in Leah’s email. She holds grudges–if she goes to Verity Law Firm, our firm will definitely face her revenge.”
Josh believed their words and refused my resignation request.
My labor arbitration application was useless, and I eventually ended up as a janitor at the firm.
Unable to accept this fate, I developed depression and hanged myself at the company entrance.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Chloe claimed she was reborn.
*****
In the firm’s conference room, Josh was about to sign a ten–million–dollar contract with a major public company when Chloe rushed in to stop him. “Don’t sign! This company has problems!”
Josh was startled by her sudden behavior. “Chloe, what are you talking about? This is a ten–million–dollar deal!”
This was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for the firm.
Chloe spoke with confidence and certainty: “Mr. Green, this company has falsified its performance records. A crisis will break out soon. If our firm takes this case, we won’t just lose- we’ll face massive compensation!”
Josh was stunned. “Where did you hear this information?”
The company representative immediately became flustered and defensively denied it: “That’s complete nonsense! Our company has no problems!”

Chloe became even more confident. “I didn’t hear it from anywhere—I just know, because I’ve been reborn. Your company is deliberately offering us an astronomical legal fee because you want our firm to lose and help you pay breach–of–contract penalties!”
Her words sounded convincing, and the representative’s face instantly went pale.
Though Josh remained somewhat skeptical, he postponed the signing. The next day, the company was indeed exposed for having problems.
Countless media outlets competed to report the story, various financial frauds were exposed, and the company directly declared bankruptcy.

Chloe instantly became the firm’s hero, earning even Josh’s deep
respect.
It was then that I finally confirmed I had truly been reborn- reborn to the day Chloe claimed she was reborn.
In my previous life, Chloe had done exactly the same thing, predicting problems with the ten–million–dollar contract, successfully preventing the firm’s losses, and shocking everyone.
Afterward, Josh wanted to celebrate our narrow escape and asked me to book a restaurant for the celebration.
But Chloe told Josh not to go to that restaurant because there would be a gas explosion.
Sure enough, within hours, the restaurant’s gas explosion made headline news.
After these two incidents, Josh became a firm believer that Chloe was truly reborn.
To keep Chloe at the firm, he gave her the executive position he had originally promised me.
When I submitted my resignation, Chloe urged Josh to stop me. “If Leah switches firms, within a year she’ll use the resources she gained at our firm to crush us, and the whole company will have to shut down.”

After hearing Chloe’s words, my boyfriend and colleague Martin also said: “Chloe’s right. I’ve already seen the job offer from Verity Law Firm in Leah’s email. She holds grudges—if she goes to Verity Law Firm, our firm will definitely face her revenge.”
Josh believed their words and refused my resignation request.
My labor arbitration application was useless, and I eventually ended up as a janitor at the firm.
Unable to accept this fate, I developed depression and hanged myself at the company entrance.
I never expected that I would be reborn to the day Chloe claimed she was reborn.
This time, I definitely won’t let the tragedy of my previous life happen again.
