Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 216

After the bidding event concluded, Eric and I walked side by side toward the exit. When we stepped outside, Jeremiah suddenly appeared in front of us, his face twisted in fury.

He growled. "Jane, you tricked me!"

I raised an eyebrow and met his fiery gaze. "How did I trick you?"

Jeremiah immediately scoffed. "Didn't you say their intention was real estate? Why did it end up being an entertainment facility?"

Hearing that, Eric turned to look at me, clearly surprised. I deliberately ignored his questioning gaze and stared at Jeremiah coldly. "When did I say that?"

Jeremiah instinctively responded, "Didn't you…"

Seeing the knowing look on my face, he immediately fell silent, realizing he had misspoken.

I turned to the hurriedly approaching Elsa, smiling as I asked, "Where did you hear that information from? Don't tell me someone gave you some inside news?"

As I spoke, Jeremiah's face turned darker. He realized this whole situation was orchestrated by me. But now, with no evidence to back him up, he had to suffer in silence. Elsa stepped forward and, at a hidden angle where no one could see, shot me a sharp glare.

She supported Jeremiah, her face full of concern. "Jeremiah…"

In the next moment, he shook her off. Elsa's expression flickered with confusion as her voice trembled. She sounded deeply hurt.

She stammered, "J-Jeremiah, it wasn't me… I didn't…"

I smiled faintly, enjoying the drama unfolding in front of me. Jeremiah knew full well Elsa hadn't lied to him. But at this moment, there was no one left for him to blame but her.

Suddenly, he looked up at me and sneered, "Jane, how come I didn't notice how clever you were before?"
