Revenge is best served cold

Even now, Jeremiah still managed to keep his composure, paying attention to every detail.

I let out a cold laugh. "You'll understand once we're at the station. It's not like I went through all that trouble to flatter you for nothing. If not for that, I wouldn't have gotten any evidence."

With that one sentence, Jeremiah's eyes widened in shock, disbelief written all over his face. He pointed at me, his voice trembling. "You came to find me... for that?"

"Exactly." I nodded, my gaze dripping with contempt.

The police held him firmly, but Jeremiah didn't take his eyes off me. His expression showed how conflicted his emotions were.

After a long pause, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Don't think you can lock me up just like this. After all, you're a daughter of the Brown family. You should know this little thing won't affect me."

I shrugged, acting entirely unconcerned. "Of course, I know. Still, locking you up for even a day is enough to satisfy me."

With his words hanging in the air, I watched as the police led Jeremiah away.

Elsa was hiding in the corner, as quiet as a mouse. I saw her typing away on her phone from the corner of my eye.

There was no need to guess-she was definitely begging Jack for help.

At first, I had planned to find a chance to let Jack know about the kidnapping and expose Elsa for who she really was. But now, why not stir things up a little tonight?

Once the police had left, only Elsa and I remained in the room. She tensed up when she saw me walking toward her, her face full of wariness. "What do you want?"

I smiled at her. "What? You're not addressing me affectionately anymore? What's with the sudden change in attitude?"

Elsa eyed me warily but didn't speak.

After all those times I recorded her, she had learned to be cautious now.

I pulled out my phone, unlocked the screen, and set it aside. "I'm not recording."

My actions only confused Elsa more. She looked me up and down. "What do you mean by that?"

I smiled. "What I mean is, let's have a proper conversation."

Elsa turned her head away. Her voice was flat without the slightest trace of

emotion. "I have nothing to talk about with you."

Seeing her like this, I casually sat down next to her, a smile curling my lips. "Don't you want to know how I came back so quickly?"

Elsa froze her eyes flickering. She

finally snorted coldly. "What other reason could there be? Probably because that person suddenly became kind-hearted and decided to let you go."

I nodded. "Yeah, he's actually quite kind, but it's a shame that he fell for a bitch."

The more I watched Elsa's eyes darken, the more I smiled. "You might not know, but he's been caught. He's giving a statement right now. Who knows, he might even spill your name?"

Elsa's face stiffened, and she instinctively spoke up. "He wouldn't!" Then, suddenly realizing her slip, she quickly covered her mouth.

I scoffed. "Human nature is funny. Some people are kind, and others are malicious. Some will do anything for the person they love, even things most people would find despicable. Others, just to prove their place in someone else's heart, would go as far as orchestrating a kidnapping and putting on a whole show."

I leaned in slightly, my voice low. "Tell me, which one do you think you are?"noveldrama

Elsa screamed, shoving me away.

"What are you doing? You're fine, aren't you? Why can't you just leave me alone? I just want more love. Is that sowrong? I just want to know

you or

writ

who matters more to them, me?"
