Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 106 Are You Sure Elsa put on her best remorseful expression. "Jane, I really know I was wrong. I'm here to apologize for what happened today. As long as you forgive me, I'll leave right away."

I raised an eyebrow. "And how exactly do you expect me to forgive you?"

Hearing my response, Elsa's eyes lit up. She lifted the glass of red wine in her hand and held it out toward me. "This is a rare vintage from the host's private collection. I asked a friend to get it for me, and I thought you might like to try it. If you drink it, that means you forgive me. And I promise, I won't bother you again tonight." She blinked at me, looking as innocent as a little rabbit.

I reached for the glass but stopped just in time to notice the glint in her eyes.

In an instant, I changed direction, pretending to adjust the necklace around my neck instead.

However, Elsa couldn't stop her outstretched hand in time.

The red wine spilled all over her face, the dark liquid trickling down her neck and staining her pristine white dress. Under the dim glow of the evening lights, it looked just like blooming red roses.

Before I could say anything, Elsa's friend rushed over, pulling out a handkerchief to dab at Elsa's dress.

"Elsa was already apologizing. What more do you want? Do you have any idea how much this dress costs? It's a designer piece!"
