Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 258

As Elsa spoke, she pulled out her phone, seemingly ready to transfer money to Liliana.

Liliana stopped her with a quiet voice, saying, "I don't want your money anymore."

After hearing this, Elsa put her phone away. She frowned at Liliana. "Then what do you want?"

Liliana's gaze was firm. "I want you to admit to everyone that you plagiarized."

Elsa's face went pale in an instant. Without even thinking, she blurted out, "No way! I already paid you before. What more do you want? If it's not enough, I can give you more. But if you expect me to tell people that those designs were yours, forget it!"

Liliana let out a cold laugh. "So, you're admitting it, then? That all those award-winning designs were actually mine?"

Elsa lifted her chin, defiant. "So what if they were? I paid for them, didn't I? That makes them mine. What's wrong with me using what I bought?"

Watching her act so self-righteous, I turned to Jack, who stood to the side, his expression dark with anger. "So, this is the kind and upright little sister you've always talked about?"

The moment I finished speaking, I stepped out of the shadows, pulling Jack along with me.

I couldn't help but applaud. "Elsa, wow. I never would've guessed that you actually had to plagiarize just to win a competition at this level? Which makes me wonder…" I put on a look of exaggerated surprise. "All those designs you've done before… Don't tell me those were stolen too?"

Elsa hadn't expected me to show up with Jack, and the color drained completely from her face. She carefully inched toward him, her voice trembling as she tested the waters. "Jack…"

Seeing that Jack wasn't responding, she panicked and rushed to explain, saying, "Jack, I just had a moment of weakness. I didn't mean to do it. I just… I didn't want to disappoint Mom and Dad. I saw how stressed you all were lately, and I thought if I won, it might cheer you up."

I scoffed. "Oh, so this is how you make them happy? Your methods are truly ahead of their time."

Elsa glared at me, still trying to defend herself. "Jack, I paid for those pieces. I spent money on them."
