Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 49 A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Jeremiah's face turned ashen with fury at my words. He opeised his mouth to say something, but Eric had already stepped in front of me.

"As far as I know, Ms. Elsa here studied interior design, right? I happen to have a friend in the same field. He mentioned that she only achie her current position by plagiarizing other people's work. And Cornell Group values her because of those stolen designs.

“Jeremiah, if you had even a shred of common sense, you'd look into this matter more carefully. Otherwise, you'll end up being conned by th The moment those words left his mouth, the entire room froze. Not just Jeremiah and Elsa, but even I was stunned.

In my past life, I thought Jeremiah valued Elsa for her talent as a designer. I never realized her so- called “talent” was actually stolen.

Eric was impressive. He went straight to the point as soon as he spoke.

After today, whatever lingering feelings Jeremiah had for me were gone, replaced by disdain and loathing

“Trust me, I have no intention of ever coming back,” he shot back. “Jane, you betrayed me. Don't come crawling back to me and begging fo Me? Beg him?

What a joke.

He was delusional if he thought I'd ever lower myself like that. My future was destined to be far better than his.

He grabbed Elsa's arm to leave, but she stayed rooted in place, refusing to budge. "Jane, why don't you
