Chapter 48 Just a Sideplece Jeremiah shouted , Jane ! What are you doing ?! I used to think nothing was going on between you two , but now , I see youve been sneaking around behind my back .
Do you have no shame ? Frowning , I turned to meet Jeremiahs turious gaze .
Standing next to him was Elsa , looking shocked and wide eyed .
Jane , if nothing is going on between you and Mr.
Flust , why are you acting so intimate ? Dont you know how much Jeremiah cares about you ? How could you hurt him like this ? Her voice was soft , and her words were delicate , painting a picture of Jeremiahs heartbreak and pain .
But looking at the two of them , they seemed perfectly fine to me.
Besides , Jeremiahs sudden shift in attitude toward me was obviously because of the business deal .
There was no sincerity there just fake concern .
It was all for show .
I let out a cold laugh .
This is my house .
Who gave you permission to come in ? Showing up uninvited like this is trespassing .
I could call the police on you right now .
Jeremiah was pissed off upon hearing my words .
Jane , dont push it ! I trusted you , but youve completely let me down .
Are you still going to tell everyone nothing is going on between you and Eric ? Terminating the partnership ? Thats just an excuse to go after my family so that Id feel guilty and take pity on you ! I had never seen someone so full of themselves .
Did Jeremiah think I was still madly in love with him ? That everything I did was to get his attention ? What a joke .
I couldnt even be bothered to argue .
Just as I pulled out my phone to call the police , Elsas delicate voice chimed in again , Jeremiah , maybe we should leave .
If we interrupt whatever Jane and Mr.
Flint are up to , who knows what she might do to you in retaliation ? Oh , for heavens sake .
I was standing right here , and she was already starting to play the victim .
Her little tricks might work on idiots like Jeremiah and Jack but not on me .
Sure enough , Jeremiahs expression darkened , and the veins on his temples were visibly pulsing .
He stormed toward me , grabbing my wrist with so much force it hurt .
I used to think I had wronged you all these years , but now , I see youre not even worth my regret ! Let me tell you , Jane whether the Cornell familys partnership with the Brown family succeeds or not , Ill never ask you to come back to me again ! His grip tightened painfully around my wrist .
I clenched my teeth as I tried to shake him off , but he only held on tighter .
Just as I was about to yell , Eric stepped in .
With one quick motion , he grabbed Jeremiahs arm and twisted it , forcing him to let go with a cry of pain .
Jeremiah stumbled back , clutching his arm in obvious discomfort .
What right do you have to get involved , Eric ? he spat out the words venomously .

Even if you two are together now , youre nothing but a sidepiece .
Whats there to feel smug about ? Elsa immediately rushed to support him .
Jeremiah , stop it ! If you keep talking like this , Jane will really get angry with you over Mr.
Flint .
That wont help the partnership between our families , and you know what your father said about that .
Jeremiah let out a cold snort , his eyes filled with contempt as they landed on me .
Hear that , Jane ? Elsa is speaking up for you even now ! And you ? Youve done nothing but hurt her .
You even cheated on me during our marriage ! A fickle woman like you doesnt deserve anyones kindness ! I couldnt help but roll my eyes .
Jeremiah , if you want to be a fool , fine but dont drag others down with you .
Youve been played by Elsa so many times , and youre still defending her ? I think your brain mustve gone rotten .
Just throw it out already .
up to I truly didnt understand how Jeremiahs and Jacks minds worked .
Elsa could confess to her schemes right in front of them , and theyd still refuse believe it If they ever ended up with miserable lives , It wouldnt just be because they were foolish itd be because they were blind to the truth staring them in the face .
