Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 129

Elsa collapsed weakly against Jeremiah, unable to control her sobs.

With my cold and composed expression, it almost looked like I was bullying her.

"It's not Jane's fault. I'm the one who wanted to kneel. I just really want to make her feel better."

Jeremiah snorted in response. "Why bother explaining? If she doesn't believe you, then forget it."

"Let's go!" Jeremiah wrapped his arm around Elsa's shoulders and coldly said those words before turning to leave.

"Wait."

Hearing my voice, both Jeremiah and Elsa turned around. Jeremiah raised an eyebrow as he sported a proud look on his face. It seemed like he had been waiting for me to back down.

But Elsa, standing next to him, looked nervous as if she feared I might do something to steal Jeremiah away from her.

"Take Elsa with you today, and don't ever come looking for me again. Even if the Cornells force you, I won't ever look at you again."

As Jeremiah's gaze flickered for a moment, I stepped forward and moved close to Elsa.

In a voice only she could hear, I said slowly, "I don't settle for anything second-rate. If you like him so much, then he's all yours. Make sure to appreciate him."

After leaving the restaurant, I called my private investigator to confirm he had captured the photos I needed. Once I heard everything was in order, I finally relaxed and enjoyed the calm as I strolled down the path outside the restaurant.

"What are you doing out here alone?" A familiar voice came from behind me.

I turned to see Eric, his eyes filled with amusement. "What are you doing here? Did you install a tracker on me?"

Eric smiled and nodded, stepping closer. He draped his jacket over my shoulders.
