Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 210

I clicked on the trending topic, and the comments made me feel a sense of relief.

"They're divorced! How could this guy still act like that? If even a rich woman was treated like this, what if it had been an ordinary woman?"

"Is this how the Cornell family raises their children? This is shocking!"

"He looks like the type who would abuse his partner. Luckily, the heiress of the Brown family divorced him!"

As I was reading, a cup of warm water was handed to me.

Eric sat down next to me. I took the water, thanked him softly, and held the cup to warm my hands.

His gaze drifted to the comments on my phone, and he smiled slightly. "If things go as expected, Cornell Group's share price is going to plummet."

I nodded, my expression suddenly turning serious.

Eric noticed the change in me and grew a bit concerned. He reached out as if to pull me into his arms. But in the end, he simply patted my shoulder gently. "Don't worry. I'll make sure the Cornell family faces the consequences—especially Jeremiah."

The determination in his voice made me snap back to reality. I looked up at him, meeting his earnest eyes. There was nothing but deep affection there. I smiled and held his hand, shaking my head. "You don't have to."

Eric's smile froze, and he looked at me in confusion, unsure of what I was planning.

I scoffed, a flash of fierceness in my eyes. "Don't worry. I'm not that fragile. What he did to me doesn't matter."

Compared to the pain Jeremiah and Elsa had caused me in my past life, this was nothing more than a scratch. I said softly, "Since it's about revenge, then, of course, it would be more satisfying if I handled it myself."

With that, I wrapped my arms around Eric's waist and gave him a deep hug. Of course, this hug was full of gratitude and not anything more.

Eric froze for a moment, then gently returned the hug.
