Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 283

The moment Eric spoke, Elsa's eyes lit up, and she instinctively looked up at him.

As soon as Eric saw her, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at me as if asking why she was even in our house.

I shrugged innocently.

Elsa was the first to speak. "Eric, I came to apologize to you and Jane. What happened yesterday was my fault."

He remained indifferent. He stepped down the stairs and came to stand beside me without even sparing her a glance. He said coldly, "Since you're done with your apology, you should leave."

But Elsa didn't move. She just stood there, looking pitiful, her eyes glistening as if she were about to cry.

"Jane, Eric… Are you two refusing to forgive me? I've truly seen the error of my ways. I understand that what I did caused trouble for you both." As she spoke, she lifted her head, pretending to be earnest.

Of course, if she had taken even a second to actually look at me instead of constantly batting her lashes at Eric, I might have believed her sincerity.

"It was all Jeremiah's idea! I had no choice…" Elsa sobbed dramatically, shifting all the blame onto Jeremiah.

"He told me that without this deal, Cornell Group would be in trouble. I've known him for so long. I just couldn't say no to him."

Hearing this, I raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "So, you chose to screw us over instead? Did your brain undergo some custom modification to have that mindset? Do you really think I'll believe that?" I stared at her, my voice dripping with mockery.
