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."
