Chapter 158 Weren't You Fine Just Now
Even now, Jeremiah still managed to keep his composure, paying attention to every detail.
| let out a cold laugh. "You'll understand once we're at the station. It's not like | went through all that trouble to
flatter you for nothing. If not for that, | wouldn't have gotten any evidence."
With that one sentence, Jeremiah's eyes widened in shock, disbelief written all over his face. He pointed at me,
his voice trembling. "You cto find me... for that?"
"Exactly." | nodded, my gaze dripping with contempt.
The police held him firmly, but Jeremiah didn't take his eyes off me. His expression showed how conflicted his
emotions were.
After a long pause, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Don't think you can lockup just like
this. After all, you're a daughter of the Brown family. You should know this little thing won't affect me."
| shrugged, acting entirely unconcerned. "Of course, | know. Still, locking you up for even a day is enough to
satisfy me."
With his words hanging in the air, | watched as the police led Jeremiah away.
Elsa was hiding in the corner, as quiet as a mouse. | saw her typing away on her phone from the corner of my
eye.
There was no need to guess-she was definitely begging Jack for help.
At first, | had planned to find a chance to let Jack know about the kidnapping and expose Elsa for who she really

Once the police had left, only Elsa and | remained in the room. She tensed up when she sawwalking toward
her, her face full of wariness. "What do you want?"
| smiled at her. "What? You're not addressingaffectionately anymore? What's with the sudden change in
attitude?"
Elsa eyedwarily but didn't speak.
After all those times | recorded her, she had learned to be cautious now.
| pulled out my phone, unlocked the screen, and set it aside. "I'm not recording."
My actions only confused Elsa more. She lookedup and down. "What do you mean by that?"
I smiled. "What | mean is, let's have a proper conversation."
Elsa turned her head away. Her voice was flat without the slightest trace of
emotion. "I have nothing to talk about with you."
Seeing her like this, | casually sat down next to her, a smile curling my lips. "Don't you want to know how | came
back so quickly?"
Elsa froze her eyes flickering. She
finally snorted coldly. "What other reason could there be? Probably because that person suddenly beckind-
hearted and decided to let you go."
| nodded. "Yeah, he's actually quite kind, but it's a shthat he fell for a bitch."

Elsa's face stiffened, and she instinctively spoke up. "He wouldn't!" Then, suddenly realizing her slip, she quickly
covered her mouth.
