Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 226

After changing into the new outfit, I walked out of the office with Eric. As soon as we turned the corner, we ran into Elsa, who had just come down from the meeting room upstairs.

It was hard to tell if she had been arguing with Jack, but her expression looked off, and Jack wasn't with her. She froze when she saw us, but to my surprise, she came over.

"Is this the new outfit Eric bought for you?" Elsa asked, her eyes gleaming with envy.

Turning her gaze to Eric, she said shyly, "Eric, you're so good to Jane. I wish I could find someone who treats me that well."

Eric gave a small smile, but his gaze remained cold. "That's just too basic."

At his words, Elsa blinked in confusion and asked, "What do you mean, too basic?"

"I'm talking about you," Eric said, rolling his eyes with no hint of mercy.

Elsa's face paled in an instant.

I seized the opportunity and added, "What's the matter? Is Jeremiah treating you poorly? Or is Jack bad to you?"

Elsa bit her lip, looking all innocent. "Jane, you're misunderstanding me. I didn't mean anything bad. I was just admiring how good Eric is to you. I don't have any ill intentions."

As she spoke, she shot a glance at Eric.

I suddenly realized this was the exact same way she had tried to seduce Jeremiah before. Back then, I was too naive to see through her. I walked closer to her while wearing a smile and whispered in her ear, "I'm full of malice toward you. Move aside."

With that, I pushed Elsa aside and grabbed Eric's arm, walking away.

As we turned the corner, I instinctively glanced back at Elsa and caught the jealousy and resentment in her eyes, which she hadn't managed to hide.
