Chapter 98 Under Surveillance
Before the slap could land on my face, Levi immediately reacted by raising his hand and gripping Jeremiah’s wrist. Jeremiah tried to pull away, but Levi’s strength was far greater than his.
His expression turned grim, and he had no choice but to soften his tone and say, “I have something important to discuss with you. I need you to tell him to leave so that we can talk privately.”
Before had the chance to speak, Levi decisively interjected, saying, “In your dreams! You were already planning on hitting Jane with me standing right here. 11 I’m not around, who knows what you’d do
Jeremiah remained silent, his gaze fixed on me with hopeful expectation.

Yet I still couldn’t meet his expectations as I replied, “Let’s discuss it right here.”
Lassumed be wanted to talk about the divorce since I seriously doubteil that there was anything else that he wanted to talk about
feretniah said smugly, “I know you’re doing all this just to get back at me, and I know I neglected you in the past, Jane. If you promise to be good, cut them off, and leave Elsa alone, I know we can go back to the way things were. In fact, I promise to treat you even better than before.”
I couldn’t help but furrow my brows as I listened to Jeremiah’s hypocritical remarks. I sneered and said, “It seems like the Comell family is coming down pretty hard on you. And yet, you’re still taking Elsa’s side? You two must be the definition of true love.”

I met Jeremiah’s intense gaze and added, “I’ve said it before, and I’m telling you again–this divorce case is a done deal. Your denial won’t change that. I have plenty of ways to ensure I win this divorce case. You’ll soon realize it, Jeremiah ”
After saying that, I opened the door to my place, not wanting to hear any more of his nonsense,
Levi had just entered when Jeremiah made a move to follow. Yet before he could fully step inside, Levi shoved him back out.
Jeremiah immediately clenched his fists, appearing as if he was ready to fight Levi. In his opinion, Eric was untouchable due to his physical prowess and social status, but he wasn’t worried about taking on a mere junior with no reputation or influence like Levi.
I simply tossed out a casual remark that made him freeze on the spot. “I ought to let you know that Levi used to be the Calderlan boxing champion in the city. If you really want to fight him, I suggest informing Elsa to come pick you up later. You don’t want to get
beaten half to death with no one around to help, after all.”
Upon hearing that, Jeremiah’s courage immediately faltered. His gaze flitted between me and Levi. He was on the verge of saying something, but Eric’s voice suddenly rang out
“If you keep showing up here to stir up trouble, I can simply call the police and have you hauled away, you know,” Eric said as he stepped closer. He had a faint smile on his face, but his voice was as cold as ice as he fixed his gaze on Jeremiah
Jeremiah’s gaze then flitted between Eric and Levi before settling on Eric. “Who would’ve thought that someone as powerful as you would end up being a rebound? You see, Jane’s already got herself a new man.”
After saying that, Jeremiah had a smug grin on his face as he turned to leave. He was satisfied with his little provocation to stir up trouble among us.
1 stole a glance at Eric, and sure enough, his expression had soured. I wasn’t sure why, but while Jeremiah’s presence hadn’t bothered me in the slightest, seeing Eric like this made me feel oddly guilty
“You’re back so quickly?” I asked as I stepped aside to let Eric in. I then quipped with a grin, “You haven’t been spying on me, have you?
He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes meeting mine. He then leaned over, close enough for me to feel the heat of his breath, and whispered, “And what if I said I have?”
I suddenly felt my mind go blank with a rush of buzzing thoughts, and when I looked up, I found myself staring directly into his eyes.
