Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 118

As my rationality slowly returned, I took a step back, pulling myself out of the intimate atmosphere.

A flicker of frustration flashed through Eric's eyes, though his smile didn't waver.

It wasn't until he opened the passenger door for me that I realized he had driven himself today.

Meeting my questioning gaze, he looked almost… aggrieved. "It's been so long since we've had time alone."

Normally composed and unreadable, Eric now looked like an abandoned puppy, making it hard not to feel a little guilty.

Before I could stop myself, the words slipped out. "Then why don't you take me on a drive around the city?"

His lips curled. "Just what I had in mind."

I got into the car and instinctively checked my phone to see if the video I posted was getting any traction. Elsa's statement was pinned at the top of the trending list.

Clicking on it, I saw the narrative had already shifted. The original maliciously edited videos had already been taken down.

A lot of people flooded my comment section, speaking up for me. "Malicious editing ruins lives! Don't let that person get away with it!"

"Tell your sister to stay far away from that toxic friend!"

"Stay strong and focus on your career! We'll support you all the way!"

There were plenty of comments, but the ranking felt off. It didn't seem like this topic should be trending at number one.

I turned to Eric, narrowing my eyes. "Was it you?"

He smiled. "Are you going to thank me again? I just gave it a little push. This time, you saved yourself."

I had been about to say "thank you", but his words made me laugh instead. I swallowed my words of gratitude.

"I keep owing you more and more."
