LittleNovelChapter 283 Are We Even Close The moment Eric spoke, Elsa's eyes lit up, and she instinctively looked up at him.
As soon as Eric saw her, his brows furrowed, and he glanced atas if asking why she was even in our house. I shrugged innocently.

He stepped down the stairs and cto stand besidewithout even sparing her a glance. He said coldly, "Since you're done with your apology, you should leave." But Elsa didn't move. She just stood there, looking pitiful, her eyes glistening as if she were about to cry. "Jane, Eric... Are you two refusing to forgive me? I've truly seen the error of my ways. I understand that what I did caused trouble for you both." As she spoke, she lifted her head, pretending to be earnest.
Of course, if she had taken even a second to actually look atinstead of constantly batting her lashes at Eric, I might have believed her sincerity.
"It was all Jeremiah's idea! I had no choice..." Elsa sobbed tically, shifting all the blonto Jeremiah.
"He toldthat without this deal, Cornell Group would be in trouble. I've known him for so long. I just couldn't say no to him." Hearing this, I raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "So, you chose to screw us over instead? Did your brain undergo scustom modification to have that mindset? Do you really think I'll believe that?" I stared at her, my voice dripping with mockery.
"In his eyes, you've always been this innocent little angel. I bet he never imagined that his little angel would turn around and use him as a scapegoat." For a brief second, Elsa's expression wavered, but she quickly masked it. She continued her pity act. "I'm not lying, Jane! It really was Jeremiah! I know I've caused a lot of trouble for you, which is why I ctoday to apologize. I'm not leaving unless I get your forgiveness." Eric and I exchanged glances-and in each other's eyes, we saw amusement.
I couldn't help but ask her, "Be honest with me. You just want an excuse to stay here, don't you?" Elsa didn't respond. Instead, she turned to Eric, her gaze even more pitiful.

I just don't want her to misunderstandlike this." As she spoke, she reached out, trying to grab Eric's sleeve. But before she could touch him, Eric swiftly stepped back, making her grasp at thin air. Elsa froze, her eyes flashing with shock and disappointment.
Eric glanced down at his sleeve, then casually patted off the spot where she almost touched him, his fagen filled with disgust. He said icily, "Are we even close? If it weren't for Jane, I would've thrown you out the moment you stepped inside. You said you cto apologize. We heard you. Now, what else do you want?"
With every word Eric spoke, Elsa's face turned paler. She couldn't understand why her usual tricks the e opes that always worked-were completely useless on Eric. She opened her mouth, hoping to give it one last try.
But before she could say anything else, Eric made his move. Without giving her another chance to react he pushed her Pout the door and shut it firmly behind her. His actions were so fast and decisive that even I was caught off guard. "I'm going to wash my hands now," Eric said with a disgusted look on his face before heading toward the bathroom.
Meanwhile, I walked to the door and glanced at the security monitor, watching Elsa's every move outside.
