Chapter 99 Stark Contrast It was at that moment that Levi shouted , Help ! Theres a man behaving inappropriately here ! 1 immediately snapped out of my daze after hearing Levis voice .
I then gently pushed Eric in and closed the door .
Erics displeasure was evident as he turned to me and said , Your junior sure loves to stick his nose in where it doesnt belong .
Its better than having someone who doesnt give a damn about other peoples affairs , Levi said as he settled into his seat , looking at Eric with a challenging glint in his eyes .
If I hadnt stepped in , Jane wouldve been hurt by Jeremiah .
Where were you when all this happened , Mr.
Flint the one who stays out of it all ? Ive been staying by Janes side , protecting her .
And you ? II their previous conversation had been filled with yelled threats , their current exchange was downright hostile .
Erie sneered and said , If you couldnt even protect Jae while you were right there with her , you might as well just pack your belongings and get out of here .
Betore Levi could say anything , I quickly interrupted , saying , Its actually a good thing that Jeremiah visited me today .
It gave me another piece of evidence for the divorce case .
an indifferent Levi immediately turned toward me , his expression one of curiosity .
Eric , on the other hand , turned toward me with an i expression .
Although Jeremiahs slap didnt land on my face , it was still pretty much an act of domestic violence , I explained as I pulled up surveillance footage on my phone .
The camera had captured the entire scene of Jeremiah trying to strike me .
the I had known from the moment I hung up the phone that this would happen .
It was all part of my plan to intentionally provoke him .
After watching the surveillance footage , Levis face lit up with admiration .
He then gave me a thumbs up and said , Youre a genius , Jane .
I thought that since were so busy with the studio , itll be more convenient to meet at my place .
Itll be perfect this way since hell lower his guard , and I wont have to worry about someone else tampering with the surveillance footage .
Eric , unlike Levi, wasnt as excited .
He leaned in to check my face , and after confirming that I was truly alright , he said worriedly , Its way too dangerous , Jae .
You shouldnt do something like that again .
Levi shrugged it off and said , You dont have to worry about that since Im here .
Im living with Jane anyway , so Ill make sure to keep her safe .
Youve got nothing to worry about with me around .
Eric sneered and said , Im even more worried with you around ! I dont even know what ill intentions youre harboring toward Jae .
Before Levi could retort , Eric turned to me and shot another remark at Levi .
I wonder how someone can actually be so dense ? Youve been working all day , so you must be drained and starving right now .
And yet , he hasnt even thought of making you something to eat .
Levi was rendered speechless and immediately turned to me .

I nodded and said , Ive been working all day , so I am actually quite hungry right now .
In an instant , Levi rushed into the kitchen , saying , Ive got this , Jane ! I learned so many new recipes while I was abroad , so Ill whip something up for you in no time ! I merely looked up and caught Erics paze Eric looked at me from above , his eyes filled with emotions I couldnt make sense of .
He then sighed heavily , pulled me over to sit beside him on the couch , and said , I regret not showing up here sooner .
If I had , Levi wouldnt have had the opportunity to show off before me .
I was so taken aback by the remorse in Erics voice that I almost didnt believe it .
I felt my cheeks burn .
I wanted to respond to him , but then I saw the pity in his eyes as he stared at me intently .
It was a stark contrast to his usual demeanor .
I tried to calm my racing heart , pretending to be composed as I looked into his eyes .
Is that why you came over here just so you can show off before me ? I merely asked that as a joke , but Eric nodded solemnly and said , Of course ! If I dont step up , Im worried youll actually fall for this Junior of yours .
And besides , when is he getting his own place ?
