Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 219

With Dad and Mom's interference, dinner was finally able to proceed normally. After the meal, Dad and Mom pulled me aside and looked at me apologetically. "Jae, Jack…"

I waved it off, not really bothered. But then, I noticed Jack's probing eyes on me.

Just as I was about to leave, Jack stopped me with a look of disdain on his face. "Don't think I don't know what you've been telling Mom and Dad."

I looked at him in confusion. "What could I possibly say? Don't think just because you and Elsa aren't good people that there are no good people left in this world."

Jack scoffed. "You handed over such an important project to someone else so easily. You don't deserve to be a part of the Brown family."

I raised an eyebrow and glanced at him indifferently. "Whether I'm a Brown or not is not for you to decide."

With that, I pushed him aside and walked out.

Behind me, Jack shouted, "You traitor! I won't let you ruin Brown Group!"

Even though I heard his angry shout, I didn't look back. I knew that Elsa had already brainwashed him. He was entirely convinced I would make Brown Group a stepping stone for Flint Group.

If this had happened before, I might have tried to explain the misunderstanding. But now, all I wanted was to protect Brown Group in my own way.

As for Jack, I'd make him see Elsa's true colors eventually.

Back at home, I collapsed onto the bed. I was about to close my eyes and rest when my phone buzzed. I opened it and saw a message from Eric. "Was the trip back home smooth?"

Immediately, Jack's irritating face flashed through my mind.

I sighed. "It went okay."

For some reason, even though I knew Eric was on a business trip, I couldn't help but think that if he had been with me, I wouldn't have been fighting this battle alone.
