Chapter 1

The new intern called herself "Bunny." She was a self-proclaimed vegan who only ate raw cabbage and couldn't stand the sight of anyone else eating meat.

During lunch, she suddenly rushed over and snatched the plate of gourmet spicy rabbit bites right out from under my nose.

"Rabbits are so sweet and innocent! How could you eat them? You heartless, evil woman!"

To make matters worse, she took my brand-new, limited-edition Chanel handbag and replaced it with a cheap basket woven from dry straw.

"I don't even want to think about which of my poor animal brothers was murdered to make this leather bag. I must pray for its soul."

Fury surged through me. But before I could say a word, my fiancé, Harvey, stepped in, shielding the intern behind his back.

"Don't be so hard on her, Audrey. Chloe is just too kind-hearted. She can't bear to see any living creature suffer."

The next day, we were scheduled to do a TikTok Shop promotional livestream with our business partners right at our manufacturing facility.

When Chloe saw the assembly line processing meat for our canned pet food, she gasped in absolute horror.

"So many innocent animals turned into cans?! No! Stop! Don't worry, babies, I'm going to save you!"

She lunged toward the emergency power breaker.

I grabbed her to stop her from causing a massive industrial accident, but she thrashed so violently that she lost her footing, slipped, and slammed her head against the concrete wall, knocking herself out cold.

When Harvey heard what happened, he seemed calm on the surface. But that night, his facade cracked.

He turned into a literal psychopath, grabbing me by the hair and brutally slamming my head against the wall over and over again.

"Chloe is such an innocent, sweet girl, and you scarred her beautiful forehead! I'll make sure you feel the exact same pain!"

When I opened my eyes again... I was standing in the middle of the factory. It was the day of the livestream. I had actually come back to life.

"Bunny is so excited! This is literally my first time doing a TikTok Live in a factory! I can't wait!"

"Harv~ when we start the Live, can Bunny be the main host?"

Chloe snuggled close to Harvey, tilting her head up and pouting her lips in the most obnoxious, baby-ish voice.

"Please? Pretty please? Being a Live host has always been Bunny's biggest dream!"

"Bunny promises to be super good! I’ll introduce the factory and our products perfectly. I won’t mess up, I swear!"

Harvey looked down at her with a tender, doting smile.

"Of course you can, Chloe. You’re always so brave to take on new challenges. I’ve got your back, no matter what."

When he turned to look at me, however, his warmth instantly vanished.

"Audrey, you don't mind, right?"

"It’s not like there’s a rule saying only one person can host the TikTok Live. Letting Chloe join the frame is totally fine."

Looking at the familiar scene and the two of them practically glued together, a cold shiver ran down my spine. I realized I had regressed.

I was back.

In my past life, I had flatly rejected Chloe’s demand to host the Live.

She had zero professional experience, and her childish, cringey baby-talk was completely unsuited for a brand launch.

Because of my rejection, Chloe held a grudge. During the Live, she intentionally caused chaos behind the scenes, tanking our viewer retention.

When I asked Harvey to control her, he shielded her instead, snapping at me:

"Chloe is just a sweet little bunny. Bunnies are supposed to be lively and energetic! She’s just bouncing around; she’s not hurting anyone. Why do you have to be so uptight?"

Right after he said that, Chloe saw the meat grinders on the production line turning ingredients into pet food paste.

She lost her mind. She ran toward the assembly line, screaming at the top of her lungs: "How can you do this?! How can you turn all these poor little animals into canned food?!"

"No! Stop! Bunny is going to save you! Hang on, babies, Bunny won’t let them hurt you!"

She sprinted toward the main power breaker room to shut down the entire factory. I ran after her to stop her.

She thrashed wildly, screaming: "There are so many of Bunny's furry friends in there! And other cute little babies!"

"Let go of me, you evil woman! Bunny has to save them! I have to set them free!"

In the struggle, she bit my hand. The sharp pain made me let go. Losing her balance, she stumbled and slammed her forehead against the concrete corner of the wall, knocking herself out.

When Harvey found out what happened, he acted calm on the surface, dismissing it as Chloe being clumsy.

But that night, the moment we got home, he ambushed me. He grabbed my hair and slammed my head brutally against the living room wall.

As blood poured down my face and my vision blurred, he stared down at me with pure venom.

"Chloe had to get four stitches! She cried for hours in the hospital! She cares so much about her looks, and you left a scar on her face!"

"If you hadn't been targeting her because of your petty jealousy, she would never have been hurt! I’m going to make you feel the exact same pain!"

"Audrey~ please say yes~"

Chloe’s voice dragged me back to the present. She was tugging at my right arm, shaking it back and forth.

"This is Bunny’s dream. You wouldn't want Bunny to be sad, right?"

Harvey chimed in, supporting her.

"Come on, Audrey. Look at how cute Chloe is. She has a great on-camera look. Having her on the stream today will definitely make our sales blow up."

I snapped out of my thoughts, hiding a cold sneer.

I looked at her, then at Harvey.

Make our sales blow up?

Sure. This time, I’m going to let Chloe do whatever her heart desires.

Let's see if our sales blow up, or if Chloe’s brain-dead antics blow up this entire business.
