NovelEnglishChapter 148 A Mistress' Appeal The moment Elsa saw me, she immediately jumped up from Jeremiah's lap, panic filling her eyes as she looked at me. "Jane, don't misunderstand! I just accidentally fell into Jeremiah's arms. I would've hit the ground if it weren't for him." Jeremiah quickly withdrew his arms around Elsa, and a faint awkwardness flashed across his face.
But just like Elsa, he stubbornly lifted his chin and spoke in a defensive voice. "She just happened to fall, and I was only helping her up. Don't overthink it." I glanced at them, my expression impassive. There was no change in my demeanor. Finally, I fixed my gaze on Jeremiah. "I need to talk to you. Tell her to leave." Elsa's eyes instantly filled with tears at my words. She looked atwith a hurt expression, her voice trembling. "Jane, you won't even talk tonow?" I ignored her, my focus still entirely on Jeremiah as I waited for his next move. Even under my unblinking stare, Jeremiah hesitated when he looked at Elsa. "Elsa..." He called her nwith evident reluctance but didn't say anything else. Elsa hadn't expected Jeremiah to ask her to leave, and shock flashed across her face. I couldn't miss the venom in her eyes when she looked atagain.

"Since neither of you wants to see me, I'll leave you two alone. As long as you two can make up, I'll do anything." Her voice was thick with tears, the kind of softness that most men found hard to resist.

He put on an air of arrogance. "What is it?" I gave a cold smile. "You seriously don't know why I'm here?" a There was a glint of triumph in his eyes like he was certain of his victory, yet he pretended to be clueless didn't think there was need for further games, so I laid everything on the table. "Was it you who orchestrated the fabric issue?" Jeremiah leaned forward in his chair, suddenly serious. "What makes you so sure it was me? Maybe it's just fate not wanting you to succeed in your business venture." I then realized he had no clue that Eric had already captured Brock.
He spoke with unwarranted confidence when I remained silent.
"But if you admit that you've just been & trying to get my attention all this time... I might consider helping you." He added after a brief pause, "And I want you to drop that damn divorce lawsuit."
I couldn't help but sneer. I looked at him again, my gaze now laced with fake vulnerability "I thought it was you. I even thought it was because you still cared about me."
