She Told Me to Shut Up,So I Let Her Empire BurnChapter 1

During an important company meeting, Kate Henson called on me by name.

She asked what I thought of Nelson Gilbert's collision-avoidance program.

I stood up, mumbled something about a stomachache, and walked out.

Because in my previous life, I'd pointed out a critical flaw in that program. Told them the whole thing needed to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch.

Nelson, humiliated in front of the entire room, went out that night and drank himself blind. A wrong-way semi hit him head-on. Killed him instantly.

At the funeral, Kate comforted me with a steady voice. Said it was his own doing, that it had nothing to do with me.

Then she slipped poison into my drink at our engagement party.

As the toxin tore through me, her face twisted into something barely human.

"If you'd kept your mouth shut, Nelson would still be alive."

"You destroyed his future. Everything he worked for."

"Now you can join him in hell."

God gave me a second chance. Sent me back to the day of that meeting.

So this time around, I was keeping my mouth shut.
