Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 204 The Wedding Ring

Hearing Jeremiah's words, I let out a sharp laugh. "And how exactly do you want me to make it up to you?"

I was genuinely curious to see just how shameless he could be.

Jeremiah seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in my tone, convinced I was actually giving in. He immediately put on a smug look, as if he had just confirmed that I still cared about him.

"Didn't you start a studio with Levi? My company wants to collaborate with your studio. I've sent multiple people to negotiate, but none of them have had any success. If you help me close this deal, I might consider getting back together with you."

I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you go around saying I was involved with Levi and acted all high and mighty about not working with my studio? What changed your mind now?"

A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, but it vanished just as quickly. He scoffed as if I were the one being unreasonable. "I've thought it over. He's just your junior, nothing more. There's no reason for something so trivial to come between us as husband and wife. So, there's no need for you to keep pretending to be close to him just to spite me."

I stared at Jeremiah in silence, carefully keeping my expression neutral, making sure not to let too much disdain show.

Even now, he carried himself with that same arrogant superiority, twisting his plea for help into an act of generosity. The man had a talent for twisting words.
