Chapter 14 A Disgrace to the Browns Before letting Elsa into the house , I had texted Jeremiah and Jack .
They had always considered me a jealous woman and were terrified that Elsa might suffer under the same roof as me .
Given how much they cared for her , theyd rush over the moment they received my text .
Elsa had pushed me down this flight of stairs in my past life , causing my miscarriage .
Since she was intending to pull the same trick , Id play along .
This time , Id make sure Jeremiah and Jack saw her true colors .
Elsa grabbed my arm and blocked my way .
She feigned remorse and said , Dont get so worked up .
Think about the baby .
This is all my fault .
I shouldnt have joined the Browns .
That way , you and Jeremiah wouldnt be fighting because of me .
Its all on me .
Ive recently learned a new soup recipe thats great for health .
Please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes and let me cook for you , alright ? Elsa eyed me pitifully as if shed start crying the moment I refused .
Faint noises from outside the villa implied that Jeremiah and Jack had arrived , Nodding , I suppressed a cold laugh and went along with her charade .
Alright , Ill give you this chance .
Then , I turned and descended the stairs .
As I turned away , I keenly noticed the flicker of malice in Elsas eyes .
She walked beside me and suddenly missed a step .
With a sharp cry , she stumbled toward me and knocked me down the stairs .
At the same time , a shadow flashed by the door .
As my body hurtled down , I panically reached for the handrail , but I was too late .
My fingertips barely grazed the wood before I lost my grip .
My heart skipped a beat , and I closed my eyes to resign myself to my fate .
It was just a short flight of stairs , and Id feel some pain at worst .
It wouldnt be anything serious .

But I didnt feel the pain I had anticipated .
Instead , a strong pair of arms caught me around my waist mid fall A familiar refreshing scent enveloped me , and I landed in a warm embrace .
A worried voice came from above me .
Are you alright ? The voice .
My eyes shot open to see Erics concerned expression .
Behind him stood Jeremiah and Jack , who Chapter 14 A Disgrace to the Browns both wore conflicted expressions .
My heart sank .
I never expected Eric to show up at this moment .
Though he saved me , his presence ruined my plan to expose Elsa .
Jeremiah stormed over and yanked me out of Erics arms .
His expression was grim as he spat through gritted teeth What do you think youre doing ? 2/2 Before I could respond , Elsa hurried down the stairs and eyed Eric .
Then , she commented somewhat meaningfully , No wonder you were so eager to kick me out , Jane .
Turns out you have company … But isnt it inappropriate for him to visit you this late at night ? Elsas specialty was in stirring up trouble .
What had been nothing turned suspicious under her framing .
Sure enough , Jeremiahs expression darkened further as he gave me a deathly stare .
So , its true .
Theres something going on between you and Eric You moved here just to make it easier to meet him in secret ! Jack frowned deeply and looked at me in disappointment .
