Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 253 How Dare You Slap Her

This was the carrot-and-stick approach. Dad always fell for this tactic.

Sure enough, he took my words to heart.

He looked at Elsa and handed her a black card. "Your sister is right. You're still young, and you can afford to enjoy yourself a little longer. Use this card to buy whatever you like. There's no limit. I've got you covered."

Elsa nodded, casting a resentful glance my way before turning to Dad with a look of gratitude.

"I'll listen to you, Dad," she said obediently, accepting the card without the

slightest protest. She even stopped Jack, who had been about to speak up on her behalf.

Sure enough, right after dinner, she came looking for me while I was strolling in the garden.

She glanced around before flashing me a bright smile. "Where's Eric? You're out here all alone?"

I scoffed. "Don't you already know where he is?"

During dinner, she had spent the whole time gushing about how Eric and Dad shared the same interests. Dad, pleased by the praise, immediately dragged Eric into his study after the meal.
