Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 108

My voice was laced with helplessness, and when Eric heard it, he quickly understood what was going on.

"I'll go in with you."

I shook my head. "It's fine. I'll be out soon."

Eric didn't insist, but his gaze remained fixed on me as if he was afraid of missing any slight change in my expression.

After a long silence, he said again, "Then I'll wait for you outside."

"And I'll wait too," Levi chimed in, raising his hand. "We'll both wait by the door."

I nodded, not refusing their offer.

At the villa's entrance, I got out of the car and asked them to wait in the vehicle.

As soon as I pushed open the door, Jack's mocking voice echoed through the room. "You're finally back. I thought you didn't even consider this place home."

The moment the words left his mouth, Mom shot him a reproachful glance. "What are you saying? She's your sister."

I walked over to Mom, linked my arm with hers, and sat down. "Where's Elsa?"

At the mention of Elsa's name, Jack shot up from his seat like a bolt of lightning and pointed his finger at me with a fierce expression.

He snapped, "How dare you bring up Elsa? If it weren't for you, would she be crying like that? You'd better go and apologize to her. If anything happens to her, you'll never be able to pay for it!"

I looked up, glaring at Jack, who was being played like a fool by Elsa. I couldn't contain my frustration.

"Jane, please don't blame Jack. He just cares too much about me." Elsa walked over and stood next to Jack. With her furrowed brows, she looked utterly wronged.

She turned to look at Jack, her voice choking. "Jack, Jane didn't bully me. It's my fault. I brought shame to the family."

As she said this, she started crying again. Her pitiful appearance had Jack feeling sorry for her.

He quickly pulled Elsa into his arms and patted her back gently. "You've done great. You made it to the banquet on your own. You're so much better than someone who only got in through connections."

Jack shot me a hateful glance, but his eyes softened when he looked at Elsa. "You're so strong, Elsa. If it weren't for her, no one would have been able to treat you this way. Come on, say it. I've got your back."

I watched Elsa with a calm smile, stepping forward. "Elsa, what else can you do besides getting Jack, that fool, to speak up for you? Don't think that just because you cry and throw a tantrum, you can manipulate me. Jack might be clueless, but I'm not."
