Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 140

My parents' fury successfully ended the standoff between Jack and me. Even though we could barely stand each other, we still silently sat through the meal.

Dinner finally wrapped up, and my parents walked me to the door.

Standing at the entrance, I tilted my head slightly and glanced at Jack and Elsa, who were still seated in the living room.

I lowered my voice and asked, "Dad, how's the company doing lately?"

If my memory served me right, something big was about to happen soon.

Dad looked a little surprised at my sudden interest in the company, but he still answered patiently, "Things have been running smoothly. Not only that, but there's a piece of land on the outskirts of the city that we're bidding on. I've heard from insiders that the government has their eyes on it."

Dad's face lit up with excitement when talking about the project. "We've done thorough preparations for the bid this time. Our chances of winning are quite high!"

As he spoke, he patted my shoulder.

"The company will always have a place for you. Even if your startup doesn't work out, you can come back and keep building your experience."

I knew he was saying this to reassure me and to let me know that no matter what, they would always have my back.

Unfortunately, what I was about to say next would shatter this moment of warmth. "Dad, forget about that project on the outskirts. It's not worth it."

He looked stunned, but I continued, "I heard there's another bid happening for a plot of land in the southern part of the city. You should send someone to check it out."

In my last life, Jeremiah had deliberately spread rumors that the government was planning to buy that land at this exact point in time. He aimed to drain the Brown family's financial resources.
