Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 300

Through the partition, Eric's and Monica's voices were crystal clear. It seemed like Monica wanted to hug Eric after entering the private room, only to be rejected by him. She pouted and murmured, "Why are you acting so cold toward me? Is it because you're still hung up on Jane?"

Upon hearing that, Joshua and I exchanged a glance. As I had expected, I caught a flicker of sympathy in his gaze. I gave his shoulder a reassuring pat and remained silent, thinking that he might be the one deserving the sympathy later.

Eric maintained his distance from Monica and said indifferently, "I don't recall being particularly enthusiastic during our chats."

I was the one sending the messages, but I still maintained a carefully crafted aloofness, mirroring Eric's character. In most of our conversations, Monica was the one who was clearly reading between lines that didn't exist.

Monica, oblivious to the disdain in Eric's tone, kept up her flirtatious act, asking, "When do you plan on divorcing Jane?"

Eric sidestepped Monica's question and countered, "How do you plan to explain this to your boyfriend?"

That shocking statement caused Joshua's eyes to widen in surprise. He then strained his ears to listen even more attentively.

Monica replied indifferently, "I only started dating him to get close to you, and since we're together now, I'm obviously going to break it off with him."

Eric chuckled and asked, "You're not afraid that he'll come after you?"

Monica responded haughtily, "I know he doesn't have it in him to retaliate against me."

She then smiled demurely and added, "And I have you, don't I? You're far more powerful than him, so I have nothing to be afraid of with you by my side."

"Oh, excellent, then!" Eric exclaimed, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. "If that's truly the case, send him a message to break up with him immediately. Otherwise, I won't believe you."

Monica responded coquettishly, "Alright, alright. I'll do whatever you say."
