Rebirth: I Heard My Bestie's Dirty Little Secrets

On New Year's Eve, my boyfriend, Brian Eggert, gives me a second-hand fake bag as my New Year's gift.

Angered, I break up with him immediately before I run off to meet my best friend, Cathy Capshaw, so that I can complain about him to her.

Unexpectedly, the moment I see Cathy, I suddenly hear her inner voice.

"Finally, you've broken up with Brian, you bitch! He never prepared a second-hand fake bag for you—I was the one who swapped bags when both of you weren't paying attention!

"I suppose you don't know jackshit, huh? The man whom you've just broken up with is actually the richest man in town. He was planning to propose to you tonight, too!

"Why should you have the best guy alive? From now on, he's mine!"

After hearing Cathy's inner voice, I quickly check the security footage. As expected, I see her swapping bags sneakily.

Later on, I cut off all ties with Cathy and quickly reconcile with Brian after clearing up the misunderstanding with him. Soon, we get married.

What I don't expect is that Brian doesn't have money at all after our marriage. On top of that, he even racks up a huge debt.

Every day, I'm forced to hide from the debtors, only to fall to my death in the end.

When I wake up again, I've returned to the day I can hear Cathy's inner voice.

"Men with love on their brains really are so easy to fool. What woman wouldn't love having the whole city's giant screens lit up with messages when someone proposes to her?

"Just because I casually mentioned that Bree doesn't like flashy stuff—and that she might not be ready to get married yet, so she should at least have the chance to think about it—he really decided to propose quietly.

"He even asked me what kind of gift Bridget would like. I just so happened to get scammed buying a secondhand purse a couple of days ago, so now I can just get him to buy me the real thing. Then I'll just delete the purchase record, and there'll be no evidence left at all. I'm such a genius."

Hearing my best friend Cathy Capshaw's inner thoughts again, a cold sweat reflexively broke out across my back.

This was exactly what had happened in my previous life. I, Bridget Dewan, had happily dressed up and gone out with my boyfriend, Brian Eggert, to celebrate New Year's Eve. But when he handed me my gift, I saw that it was a used purse. Even the tag on the purse didn't match the box it came in.

I angrily questioned him, but he insisted that he'd bought it from the official boutique.

When I asked him to show me the purchase record, he couldn't produce it, no matter how long he searched. Then he claimed that Cathy had come into contact with the purse before, so maybe it had something to do with her.

After that, he
