Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 213 Setting Him Up

I wore an indifferent expression and smiled at the furious Jeremiah. "You don't have any evidence, so how can you accuse me?"

Jeremiah clenched his fists. After a long pause, he snorted coldly. "Even if you use dirty tricks, I'll still win the bid."

His face was full of confidence, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes. After making his threat, he gave me a deep look and stormed off.

I saw Elsa about to follow him and called out, "Stop."

Elsa stiffened, turning to face me with a guarded expression. The next moment, she returned to her innocent act and cautiously asked, "Jane, is there something you need?"

It seemed she thought I was going to scold her, so she immediately began explaining herself, "Jane, I didn't mean it earlier. Jeremiah just wanted to see you. He still has feelings for you, and I couldn't bear to see him like that, so I..."

I was already tired of hearing these pathetic excuses. I raised my hand to silence her. "Enough. I don't want to hear any of that."

I met her gaze and said with a smile, "The Cornell family is barely holding on, and you're still planning to stay with Jeremiah? To be honest, I've already got some inside information. This isn't a public bidding, it's a competitive one. The bid is for real estate, and I've already prepared the proposal. He doesn't stand a chance." Hearing my words, Elsa's face showed a flash of shock, and her eyes darted around. I sneered inwardly, knowing she was falling for it.

She quickly recovered her composure and put on her best pitiful look. "Jane, Jeremiah and I—"
