Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 34

Dad snorted coldly. "What else could it be? You and Eric already have a baby together. We must lurry up and have the wedding. Otherwise, "You make your mother and me worry all the time. Look at the trouble you've caused. Did you even consider whether we could handle it?" I had assumed that they called me home to interrogate me about my situation with Eric. I had no idea they were planning a wedding for me This was a bit too sudden

was momentarily stunned as well. He leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "Your parents are more open- minded than I initially thought."

Eric was the

I subtly glared at him. “Mom, Dad, it's a misunderstanding. I'm not pregnant,” I helplessly explained.

“If you're not pregnant, why were you using a pregnancy test kit?” Jack collly sneered, cutting me off.

"Elsa would never lie. She saw you using it with her own eyes, and you even threw up several times. You didn't deny it back then, but now t

Elsa chimed in as well, “That's right, Jane. Since Mom and Dad are not going to blame you, why won't you just admit it?

The two of them banded against me and overturned my explanation completely. They even accused me of not admitting it! Seeing Elsa's pretentious look of concern made me want to vomit.

I was about to speak when an arm sklenly wrapped around my waist. Eric's voice rang out in my ears. “Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, don't worry. Eric lowered his gaze to me. “Jane, you need to divorce Jeremiah as soon as possible. You can't drag it any longer."

I could feel the warmth

of his body through my clothes, and I stiffened for a moment. Confused, I glanced up at him. “Eric, what the hell are you doing?" I whispered

I was already in hot water, and not only did he not help me explain the situation, but he actually admitted to my pregnancy!

Eric leaned closer and said in a low enough voice so that only I could hear him, “No matter how hard you try to explain, nobody's going to b you now. Why not use this nonexistent baby to deal

Elsa was waiting to see me make a fool of myself, and I couldn't let her win. In fact, I could use this opportunity to speed up my divorce from That man cared so much about his reputation. He would never accept me cheating on him.

After giving it some thought, I begrudgingly braced myself and leaned Into Eric's embrace.

"Eric is right. Jeremiah and I are not divorced yet. My belly won't suddenly grow overnight, so we don't have to rush it,” I said sheepishly. Dad and Mom looked at each other and sighed. “That makes sense. What's Important is your reputation. We'll take things slowly."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with the divorce," Mom assured me.

She grabbed my hand and placed it in Eric's. “Even though our family is not as powerful or influential as the Flints, we're not to be messed with. If you dare to let my daughter down, I won't forgive you.”

Eric tightened his grip around my hand. “Mrs. Brown, don't worry. I definitely won't let Jane down," he reassured her with genuine sincerity.
