Chapter 7
Before Josh could hang up his phone, every phone in the law firm suddenly started ringing simultaneously, creating a cacophony of urgent calls.
All the colleagues immediately rushed to answer their phones, and the conversations were remarkably similar.
“Mr. Green, the assault case we were handling from last week has been terminated!”
“The company that hired us for that major economic case last month just said they’re no longer retaining our firm-they found new lawyers!”
“Mr. Green, our longtime client of three consecutive Christmases just called to cancel their contract and is demanding thirty million dollars in damages.”
The string of termination calls left Josh dizzy and completely bewildered. “What’s going on? How can all our clients be canceling at the same time? Did you guys cause some kind of scandal?”
He frantically checked his phone, then looked toward Chloe as if something had occurred to him, asking anxiously, “Chloe, what’s happening? Aren’t you supposed to be reborn? What happened to our firm? Why is everyone canceling?”

Chloe panicked too. “How would I know? None of this happened in my past life! It must be Leah! You’re behind this-tell me, what exactly did you do to make all these people cancel their contracts?”
I let out a cold laugh. “Do I have that kind of power? I should be asking you, Ms. Hill. You’ve been scheming with Lucas Reed, the owner of Verity Law Firm, for so long, even sacrificing your own body to seduce Martin. Now you’ve finally achieved your goal.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Chloe gasped, not expecting me to expose her entire plan. She immediately stood up to cover my mouth. “You bitch, what are you babbling about? You’re the one who betrayed the company, and now you want to pin the blame on me? I was reborn to deal with you!”
Before she could finish speaking, I slapped her across the face. Caught completely off guard, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
“How dare you hit me?” Chloe clutched her face in embarrassment, turning to stare at me in shock.
Josh immediately rushed to protect her, glaring at me. “Leah, have
you lost your mind? Chloe is reborn—she can predict everything. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”
He was truly pathetic. I pulled out a document and threw it in

front of Josh. “The company that gave us the ten-million-dollar retainer fee is problematic. The other company already knew about it. Those two representatives who came to our firm to discuss the contract were actually actors Chloe hired for two hundred dollars to put on a show. Am I right, Chloe?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Chloe immediately denied it.
I continued reading from the document. “The restaurant where I had my appointment caught fire and exploded. The investigation revealed that someone deliberately leaked gas, and that person was also bribed by you to go to that restaurant on purpose, wasn’t he?”
“It wasn’t me!”
“The restaurant has already filed a police report. All the relevant evidence has been submitted to the authorities, and the suspect has confessed to receiving two hundred thousand dollars from you, all to help you create the persona of being ‘reborn and able to predict future events.””
After the restaurant explosion, I immediately contacted the police to investigate the truth. Once they caught the suspect, I immediately checked the bank accounts of all the suspect’s relatives.
Sure enough, I quickly discovered that the suspect’s mother’s
