Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 130

Levi said, "Jane, wearing that jacket is ruining your style."

Just as Levi reached to grab the jacket, Eric swiftly stopped him. "It's freezing outside. Do you want Jae to catch a cold?"

Eric bent down, adjusting the jacket while adding sarcastically, "Some people are really malicious. Jane took in a homeless guy, and he repays her kindness by letting her freeze."

Levi was at a loss for words. He angrily glared at Eric before turning to me, shaking his head furiously. "Jane, that's not true! He's slandering me! This is all a lie!"

Eric remained calm. "Isn't that the truth? You clearly didn't bring a jacket, but you wouldn't let me give Jae mine. If that's not the very definition of cruel, then what is?"

Levi looked at his empty hands and the only shirt he had on, finally falling silent.

I couldn't help but smile. I thought their bickering would annoy me to the point of exhaustion, but Eric had won without breaking a sweat.

Up until the moment we arrived home, there was an oddly peaceful atmosphere between the two of them. The only thing they both seemed to care about was pulling the other away from me.

As soon as I got home, I received a message from Jeremiah. "Today was an accident. I'll make it up to you tomorrow."

I responded with a question mark before typing again. "Jeremiah, maybe you should get your brain checked. It's only been a few hours, and you've already forgotten what I said. From now on, if we're having dinner together, it'll be at a business gathering. Other than that, I have no time for you."

Soon, another message from Jeremiah appeared. "Is this really how you're going to be? I swear, Elsa and I are innocent. What will it take for you to believe me?"

Looking at the words on the screen, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even after everything, he still thought I was just jealous. With someone as clueless as him, the downfall of the Cornell family was inevitable.

I couldn't be bothered to respond to his messages, so I turned off my phone and went to bed early.
