Todos los capítulos de I Let Her Ruin It Herself: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

"Ms. Kline, look! AI really can do the job of a seasoned employee now!"Esther Stone held her phone up so close the screen was practically in my face.She'd been with the company less than a month. She wore a pale pink blouse, with her hair pulled into a low ponytail. Her innocent, almost childlike smile made her look completely harmless.The moment I saw her, my blood ran cold.It wasn't the office AC. I could still hear the wind rushing past my ears as I plunged toward the ground in my last life.I could still see Tom Greer's face as he grabbed my wrist. He looked so cold and distant that he barely seemed like the man I knew."Stella, why are you so determined to ruin Esther?" he asked.A second later, he shoved me from the 27th floor. I hit the ground before I could even scream.And now Esther was right in front of me again, proudly showing me what she'd created with AI. Her chat with the AI was still open on the screen."Create a competitive bid submission based on Evercre

One of my coworkers finally spoke up quietly. "Esther, Ms. Kline put those together based on the client's preferences. They might come in handy later."Esther smiled and shook her head. "AI can figure out what clients like from public information. And come on, Evercrest Group is huge. Of course their chairman is going to want something modern, high-tech, and upscale."I almost laughed.Richard Langley, the chairman of Evercrest Group, hated anything that looked flashy or high-tech.He'd built his business in traditional manufacturing, and the smart showroom was meant to show that the company was moving in a new direction. I'd toured the site with him five times myself.He'd told me himself, "There's nothing wrong with new technology. The problem is when it loses the human touch."That was why my original concept was built around bringing Evercrest's past and future together.The first exhibit area would feature old machinery, vintage photos, and employee badges from the company'

Esther's eyes welled up instantly."I didn't mean to. I was only trying to save the company some money.Then she looked at me. "Ms. Kline, you never told me any of this."All eyes turned to me.Tom frowned. "Stella, if you knew about this, why didn't you tell her sooner?"It was the same old routine. Esther passed the blame to me, and Tom went right along with it.In my last life, I'd tried to defend myself at this point, only to dig myself in deeper the more I talked. This time, instead of arguing, I pulled a stack of documents from my bag."Because I made a checklist of every document and file I gave her when I handed over the project."I handed Mr. Clarkson a printed copy of the handoff checklist. "Esther signed off on it herself."Esther's face immediately fell. That day, she'd been too busy putting on a show for everyone to even read the checklist before signing it.I played the recording next, and her voice came through loud and clear. "There's no point going through al

I stared at the screen and scoffed. They'd completely twisted what had happened.I didn't bother arguing in the group chat. Instead, I sent all the evidence straight to our CEO, Mr. Thayer. I included the recording from the bid clarification meeting earlier, the signed handoff checklist, and Esther's email reply.I added one line. "Mr. Thayer, if Esther is still going to lead the Evercrest project, I'd like to step away from it."Ten minutes later, Mr. Thayer called.His tone was serious. "Stella, you were treated unfairly."I wasn't interested in playing the victim."Mr. Thayer, I just want a straight answer. Who leads the Evercrest project? The person who can actually do the job, or the person Mr. Greer prefers?"He was quiet for a few seconds before letting out a sigh. "I'll handle it at tomorrow morning's meeting."After I hung up, I started putting together another set of evidence.In my last life, Tom had been so determined to protect Esther that he made me take the fall

At 3:00 pm, Evercrest Group sent us formal notice that we'd been invited to the final pricing negotiations.Mr. Thayer was thrilled. He immediately announced that the Evercrest project bonus was being increased, and applause broke out across the office.Esther sat in a corner with her head down, her nails digging into the desk.Tom stood by the window on the phone, keeping his voice low. As I walked past, I caught a few words."Their bottom line changed. Stella's keeping an eye on me now. Don't make a move yet."He hung up and looked over, meeting my eyes. His expression stiffened.I walked away as if I hadn't heard a thing.By 8:00 pm, most people had gone home.I pretended to leave, but instead took the elevator to the security room.After I died in my last life, my spirit lingered for a long time. I saw Tom delete the security footage. Then he faked evidence to make it look like I'd had a breakdown and jumped to my death.So this time, I'd already given Mr. Thayer a heads-
