Revenge is best served cold

Everyone suddenly fell silent after I said what I said. After a brief moment, Elsa poked her head out from behind Jack and said, "We're family, Jane. Jack was just a little mad back then. That's why he went against you. In fact, he didn't have high hopes for the project he chose either."

Elsa blinked innocently and played the role of a peacemaker. "Let's just treat this as a joke. We can laugh it off and move on."

At the next moment, Eric laughed out loud. "How hilarious."

He met Elsa's puzzled gaze and continued, "The project is worth a billion dollars, yet you're calling it a joke. Now, that has got to be the joke of the year."

Elsa heard what he said, and her face immediately turned red. Her eyes also turned red in a matter of a second, making her look pitiful.

I stared at Jack coldly. "Have you stooped so low that you need Elsa to protect you? It's just 5% of shares. Weren't you bold and all-inspiring when we made the bet? So, what exactly are you doing now?"

My words hurt Jack's pride deeply. He glared at me as he reached out and pulled Elsa out of the way. When he turned around and looked at her, his gaze immediately turned gentle.

"It's okay. You don't have to speak up for me. I made a bet with Jane, and I have to bear the consequences despite the outcome."

Jack turned around and looked at me. He said through gritted teeth, "If that's the case, you're going to have to do the share transfer procedure with me tomorrow."

My lips curled into a grin. I turned around and took a document out of my bag before handing it to him. "Forget tomorrow. I've already prepared a share transfer agreement. All you have to do is sign it."

Jack was stunned and stood frozen where he was. After a brief moment, he finally took the agreement from me. His voice was trembling when he said, "I can't believe you prepared it beforehand."

I shrugged, adopting an innocent expression. "Are you going to say that I tampered with it?"

Jack cleared his throat because I had just exposed his actual thoughts. His expression turned solemn. "Why would I? This is a huge project. You need someone who's powerful enough to do something like that."

I chuckled, letting his insults roll off my back. I gave him a pen too. "If that's the case, sign the papers."

Jack took it, but he didn't sign the agreement immediately. Instead, he looked at the agreement in his hand hesitantly.

Needless to say, he was reluctant to sign it. After all, the 5% shares didn't just give him the dividends that were

worth millions of dollars; it also gave him authority in Brown Group.

However, things had gotten to the point where a resolution had to be reached. He might be reluctant to do it, but he didn't have a choice anymore-not when this many people were looking at him.

Eventually, Jack firmed up his mind and signed the agreement.

"Take it." He shoved the signed agreement in my hand and stared daggers at me.

I took it and put it back into my bag emotionlessly. Then, I looked at Elsa, who

was hiding behind Jack and itching to make a move.

I said softly, "Don't even think about touching the agreement in my bag unless you

want to be sent to prison for a month as well."

Judging by Elsa's earlier gaze, I

could tell that she intended to steal the agreement away. Alas, I would never give her the chance to do it Now that I had called her out, she I would be the prime suspect if anything went wrong with the agreement.

Now that this was done, I put on a joyful expression. Then, I turned to Dad and

affectionately looped my arm around his.

"I have another favor to ask of you, Dad."

Dad wore a loving expression. "Just say the word. I'll put a lasso around the moon

and pull it down for you if that's what you want."noveldrama

I met Elsa's envious gaze and said slowly, "I want to join the company,"
