Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 181

After Levi left, the sudden silence in the house made me feel a bit out of place. Under Eric's thoughtful gaze, I quickly made an excuse about needing to wake up early for work and rushed back to my room.

I didn't know why, but ever since we got our marriage certificate, it felt like something had changed between us.

As I continued to think about it, I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well.

…

The next morning, I let out a long sigh as I stared at the dark circles around my eyes in the mirror. Seeing me in this exhausted state, Eric couldn't help smiling in amusement.

"Don't tell me you were too nervous about starting work today and couldn't sleep?"

I glanced at him. His eyes were filled with warmth, and for some reason, my face felt oddly warm. Avoiding his gaze, I stubbornly replied, "I did it on purpose. After all, I'm just a regular employee in Team 2 of the Business Department now. I need to look the part."

I had planned everything. To avoid being recognized, I decided to disguise myself. So today, I didn't wear any makeup, tied my messy hair into a casual bun, and put on old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses. For my outfit, I went with a loose-fitting casual set and sneakers.

To top it off, I planned to carry a canvas bag. This way, the chances of people recognizing me should drop significantly.

Eric scanned me from head to toe and nodded with a chuckle. "You definitely look different from before."

I lifted my chin proudly. "Of course! Otherwise, all my efforts would be in vain."

…

In my past life, Jack was always too focused on Elsa and ended up neglecting the company. Because of that, the company was full of parasites who embezzled funds, intentionally directed projects to rival companies, and took kickbacks.

Without realizing it, the company gradually deteriorated, and when Cornell Group struck, Brown Group never recovered. This time, I was determined to expose the corruption at its core.
