Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 229 Resigning

Elsa set the book aside and lowered her head as if she had something difficult to say. Before anyone could speak, she slowly began. "Since everyone is here today, I want to share some good news."

I raised an eyebrow, already suspecting that the news wasn't really going to be good. However, Jack seemed intrigued. He tossed aside the gift Eric had given him and asked eagerly, "What's the good news?"

His voice was soft and sweet, almost as if it could melt the air around it.

Elsa blushed slightly and stole a glance at Eric before saying softly, "I've resigned from Cornell Group."

She cleared her throat and then said more seriously, "Now that Jane has divorced Jeremiah, staying in Cornell Group would only invite unnecessary gossip."

I scoffed. "Really? So, you're not going to see Jeremiah anymore?"

Elsa's face flushed with discomfort. "Jeremiah and I are still friends..."

Seeing the awkwardness in the room, Mom quickly stepped in to ease the tension. She moved closer and took Elsa's hand with a loving smile.
