Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 247

After dinner, Eric went to the bathroom while I waited for him in the living room. Not long after, I noticed Elsa sneaking away. A thought struck me, and I decided to follow her. Sure enough, she was headed straight for Eric.

By the time she arrived, Eric had just stepped out of the bathroom, and they ran into each other.

I hid around the corner of the hallway, curious to see how this little drama would unfold.

Elsa let out a soft gasp.

Even though she hadn't actually bumped into Eric, she acted startled, pretending to lose her balance as she fell toward his chest.

Eric didn't even hesitate and simply stepped back.

Elsa barely managed to catch herself against the wall before she could hit the floor. She looked up at him, her voice dripping with sweetness. "Eric, why didn't you catch me just now?"

His expression remained ice-cold. "You're standing just fine, aren't you? Why would I need to catch you? I'd rather not have you falsely accuse me of something."

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Elsa's face, but she quickly forced herself to keep up appearances. She pouted, feigning grievance. "Eric, are you this harsh with Jane too?"

Eric moved to leave, but she deliberately blocked his path.

His brows furrowed as he gave her a sharp look. "What exactly are you trying to say? How I treat her is none of your business. Maybe focus on your own life instead."

With that, he reached out to push past her. But Elsa, unwilling to give up, used the momentum to try and fall into his arms again.

Eric dodged without hesitation, leaving her standing there, looking utterly wronged.

"Eric, don't you think I'm more feminine than Jane? She's always so busy with work, and I bet she barely has time for you. Doesn't that get lonely?"

Her voice was so soft it was practically dripping with syrup. "If I were her, I'd make sure to spend every single day by your side."

Eric let out a cold chuckle. "That's why someone like you is only fit for a man like Jeremiah."
