L Chapter 1 At the investors ' meeting , our intern suggested serving Yoo - hoo chocolate milk to the investors . My fiancé indulgently agreed , and the other shareholders quickly nodded along . to In my past life , I'd firmly opposed this . It was the most critical round of our company's funding - one failure , and our entire cash flow would collapse , saddling every shareholder with massive debts . But my fiancé had accused me . " You're just petty . Admit it , you're jealous that she's younger . " The other shareholders impatiently chimed in , " Yoo - hoo is fine ! Besides , the investors only care about the company's strength . " We had founded this company from scratch with our own sweat and tears . I couldn't bear to watch everyone's efforts crumble . So before the meeting , I'd replaced all the Yoo - hoo snacks with investors ' preferred refreshments - Earl Grey and White Blossom Herbal Tea , fresh fruit platters , and artisan pastries . The investors had been pleased , and we successfully secured funding , going public with a soaring market valuation . Yet the intern had stormed out in tears , only to be hit by a truck . She survived - but was left paralyzed from the waist down . She went live , crying as she accused me of workplace bullying - saying I'd pushed her under a truck out of jealousy . My fiancé's silence further fueled the public outrage . Angry protesters doused me in gasoline and burned me alive . My mother had died of a heart attack , and my father had been hit by a car and left to die in the street . Now , in this life , when I heard the intern suggest Yoo - hoo again , I kept my mouth shut . Yoo - hoo sounded wonderful - perfect with animal crackers . Quietly , I made a call . " That offer you mentioned - high salary , shares in the company is it still valid ? " In Madeline Rhodes ' livestream , she wept bitterly , accusing me of workplace bullying and stealing credit for her project . Gavin Stone had stepped forward , promising to fix what I'd done wrong by marrying Madeline and giving her a lavish wedding . After my death , I'd watched my mother suffer a heart attack . Protesters had blocked the ambulance , leaving her to die painfully at home , mere steps away from help . My father had been struck dead on the street , his body ignored . Madeline and Gavin had stood by coldly , allowing stray dogs to gnaw on my father's corpse .. " Sloane committed terrible sins . Her parents deserved it . " I hovered helplessly above , desperately trying to chase away the dogs - but nothing I did could touch them . When I opened my eyes again , I heard Madeline's wronged voice clearly . " What's wrong with serving Yoo - hoo at the investors ' meeting ? Why is Sloane so mean ? " " Yeah , Sloane . Yoo - hoo is innovative . The investors might love it . " I looked around . Gavin and all the shareholders were eyeing me impatiently . I pinched my thigh hard . It hurt . I'd been reborn ?! The investors were nearly fifty , many with health issues and dairy allergies . Yoo - hoo ? Were they tired of living ? Chapter 1 三 List Night Mode Senings 1.04 % Smiling sweetly , I said , " Madeline's suggestion is excellent . I agree . " Gavin and I had founded this company ourselves . Our shareholders were mostly friends , investing their entire net worth . To attract funding , I'd drunk myself into the ER more than once . Gavin and I worked from dawn till dusk , never daring to slow down . In my last life , terrified that all our hard work would fall apart , I switched the refreshments before the meeting - and it won the investors ' favor . Instead , my family had been destroyed , and I'd been burned alive . In this life , I wanted to see how long the company would survive if the investors actually drank Yoo - hoo . Madeline eagerly explained her plan next , but I'd already lost interest and quietly slipped out through the back . In an empty office , I dialed a number . " Miss Harper , why the sudden call ? Have you reconsidered my offer ? " " Yes , Spencer , I accept - but I want absolute decision - making authority and veto power . On the other end , I sensed Spencer sit up immediately , his voice earnest and pleased . " Agreed to all your terms , Sloane . I'm looking forward to our partnership .
