Chapter 25 Wronged I walked up to the bed and looked down at Elsa with a meaningful gaze .
Whats wrong ? Youre bold enough to tamper with the juice , yet you dont have the courage to admit to it ? It was time to tear away her mask of false innocence .
Elsa met my gaze with a flash of panic , but she quickly covered it up with a weak fake smile .
What are you talking about , Jane ? I dont understand .
Still playing dumb , huh ? A cold glint flashed in my eyes .
Fine .

Let me make it clear to you .
That glass of juice- Before I could expose the truth , Elsa cut me off and said , I juiced overripe fruits , and thats why I got a stomach ache , She fidgeted with her fingers nervously , looking like a remorseful child .
Then , she turned to Mom and Dad .
I thought the fruits werent spoiled and didnt want them to go to waste , so I juiced them .
Its all my fault that I got a stomach ache .
Jane has nothing to do with this .
The doctor checked , and you can ask him if you dont trust me .
This has nothing to do with Jane .
Elsa acted like she was desperate to defend me .
It felt almost as if she couldnt bear to see me wrongly accused .
I narrowed my eyes and watched her act .
Instead of feeling relief at her words , Jack called for the doctor to confirm .
The doctor handed over the report and explained , The patient did consume food that wasnt fresh , but theres nothing to worry about now that shes gotten her stomach pumped .
If youre still concerned , you can keep her in the hospital for observation for a couple of days .
Jack and Jeremiah had no choice but to believe his words as there was the medical report as evidence .
Elsa silently exhaled in relief .
My attention remained on her the entire time , so I didnt miss her subtle gestures .
The corners of my lips curled into a deep smile .
It seemed she had anticipated this outcome .
She mustve arranged for the fake medical report in advance just in case the truth about the drugs came to light .
After all , it could expose Jeremiah to the fact that I was pregnant .
She had gone to great lengths to protect my pregnancy .
I glanced at the report and chose not to expose her lies .
Instead , I smiled brightly and reminded her , Dont save on fruits .
You might save a few dollars , but it could cost your life .
Chapje Wronged Else swallowed nervously and forced herself to stay calm by clenching her hands .
She weakly replied , I understand .
Its my fault .
Im sorry for all the trouble .
Her eyes reddened as if she were about to cry again I rolled my eyes and snapped , Save those tears .
No ones blaming you for it , so whats the crying for ? Trying to act pitiful , are you ? I didnt expose her because I wanted to see what tricks shed pull next , but I didnt have the patience to watch her put on an act to garner pity .
My blunt remark left Elsa stunned .
Her tears teetered on the edge of spilling but never fell .
She looked all the more pitiful .
Jeremiah opened his mouth as if to defend her , but he ended up swallowing his words with my parents around .
The project between Cornell Group and Brown Group was still in jeopardy .
He wouldnt risk it by openly siding with Elsa .
While Jeremiah refrained from speaking , Jack had no such reservations .
Why are you being so harsh when Elsa wasnt badmouthing you ? When are you going to fix that nasty temper of yours ? Just after he spoke , Dad chimed in with a stern tone , And you have the nerve to lecture Jae ? You wanted to call the police without understanding what happened ! Now that youve wronged her , apologize ! Mom joined in the scolding .
I crossed my arms calmly and waited for his apology .
