Revenge is best served cold

Jeremiah let out a scream as he collapsed to the ground. He was unable to straighten his back due to the pain.

"Jeremiah!" Elsa screamed and hurried over to help him while the others stood frozen in fear, too afraid to

move.

Anyone who dared to act now would undoubtedly be opposing Eric, and no one wanted to face the consequences of that.

In the dim light, Eric stared coldly at Jeremiah with an air of menace surrounding him. This was the second time I had seen Eric so enraged, and it was still for my sake.

I instinctively grabbed his arm, speaking softly, "Alright, Eric. Don't bother with someone like him. Now that you've taught him a lesson, let's just go."

As soon as I spoke, the cold atmosphere around Eric immediately dissipated. When he looked at me again, his gaze had returned to its usual calm.

"I'll do whatever you say."

Just as we turned to leave, Jeremiah's angry, pained voice came from behind. "Jane, you ganged up with another man on me today. If I ever get the

a next time."

When our eyes met, I felt my heart skip a beat and instinctively pulled my hand back. "Y-

After spending some time together, Eric and I had grown closer. Now, we didn't even avoid physical contact as much.

He seemed to realize this too, and he cleared his throat, looking a bit awkward. "Should I take you home?"

start a business and is really interested. He wants to talk to you about investing, but I'm not sure if you're interested.”
