Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 245

The drama premiered a week later. As I had predicted, it was an instant hit. The entire cast skyrocketed in popularity. Even the director, Ned, became one of the industry's hottest names overnight.

When I opened the drama's official social media account, the comments were overflowing with praise.

"It's been so long since I've seen such a well-made drama! There's no excessive forced rivalry between female characters. It's so refreshing!"

"I love how the female lead actually lets the supporting actress look stunning too. That's rare! I'm going to hype this show up endlessly!"

"OMG, they finally got a good script! They deserve this! I'll love them forever!"

According to Heather, major brands were already reaching out, eager to secure product placement deals. We had already raked in ten million dollars by the end of the first week.

Since I had hit my target ahead of schedule, the board wasted no time and approved my promotion to vice president after some discussion.

The day my appointment was officially announced, Jack was noticeably absent from the office. Of course, that didn't mean I was going to let him off the hook.

Dad arranged a family dinner to celebrate my promotion, inviting Eric and me to attend. The moment I stepped into the house, Jack's expression turned dark. He immediately looked away, refusing to acknowledge me.

Meanwhile, Elsa approached me with an obedient, sweet smile. "Jane, congratulations on becoming vice president!"

Her face was full of admiration. "You're amazing! I hope I can be like you one day."

I smiled lightly. "Well, you can keep hoping."

The moment I said that, Jack shot up from his seat, glaring at me. "What's that supposed to mean? Elsa didn't do anything to you!"

Right on cue, Elsa put on an aggrieved expression as if I had actually bullied her.

I looked at them both innocently. "What did I say? She said she wanted to be like me, and I simply told her to keep dreaming. What else was I supposed to do? Make her me?"

Jack parted his lips but had no comeback. As he was about to say something else, Eric stepped before me, his voice calm but cutting. "Some people really are fragile, huh? Just one little comment and they're fed up."
