Revenge is best served cold

I nodded. "I guess I got something out of it."

Then, I told Eric about the agreement Mr. Simpson and I had. He couldn't resist chuckling before he said, "I'm willing to bet that you'll do just fine for yourself if you ever become a chef."

I uncharacteristically gave him a proud look when I heard what he said. "That's a safe bet."

In my past life, I made stew for Jeremiah countless times. I even took culinary classes for him. At first, I thought that I would serve him for my whole life, yet the skills I acquired were working in my favor now.

We were chatting when I suddenly shot a glance at my phone. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the date.

Eric gave me a puzzled look. "What's wrong?"

I shook my head. "It's nothing. I thought I hadn't responded to one of the texts, but

I must've been mistaken."

Then, I added casually, "I checked the stock market today and noticed new shares from a newly listed foreign company. What's your take on it?"

Eric heard what I said and pondered for a brief moment. "I saw it too. It's a pharmaceutical company, and it's quite promising. With that said, companies like these typically face higher risks. So, I didn't keep an eye on it."

I hesitated for a while before probing around and saying, "But I think this company has a decent future ahead of it. You can try it out if you want to do some stock trading."

The shares might seem unassuming for now, but two countries would be thrown into chaos soon, and countless people would be injured or die.

This pharmaceutical company had some connections to the government, and they would gain insane profits from it. Their share price would skyrocket as well.

At first, I wanted to recommend this to Dad, but it occurred to me that Eric had helped me on numerous occasions. So, I had to repay him in some ways.

However, I was privy to this knowledge because of memories from my past life, and I didn't have any solid proof for it. If Eric asked me about it, I had to tell him that it was just a hunch.

At first, I assumed that he would turn me down gently. To my surprise, he immediately called his assistant after he heard what I said. "I want you to buy MediKinetics shares. Buy up to the maximum limit." .

After Eric hung up his phone, he met my puzzled gaze and chuckled. "What's the matter?"

I responded with utter disbelief, "D-Did you just buy the shares without a second thought?"noveldrama

Flint Group might be large and thriving, but the maximum limit would reach ten million dollars. Be that as it may, Eric bought the shares without any hesitation. It was mind-blowing.

His calm response was a huge contrast to my shocked reaction. "You approve of the pharmaceutical company. It goes without saying that I have to show some support. Moreover..."

Eric looked at me and adopted a playful expression. "I can't shake the feeling that you're my lucky star. It seems like I can resolve everything quickly with you by my side."

His eyes sparkled, and he kept a smile on his face the whole time. "Sometimes, I can't help but think you have the script to everything that will happen in the world. Perhaps that's why you have a full

ep

interpretation of many things."

I couldn't resist lowering my head when I heard what he said. I didn't dare to let

him see my widened eyes.

Gosh. His speculation was very close to the truth.

By the time I raised my head again, I

had regained my composure. I chuckled gently and adopted a regretful expression. "If only. In that case, would never have know Jeremiah in the first place. Instead, I would've buried myself in my career and grown Brown Group to a powerful company."

Eric saw the look on my face, and he couldn't stop smiling. He said softly, "Then,

we would meet each other."

At the next moment, I felt something stir in my heart before it started pounding uncontrollably. I immediately turned my head sideways and pretended that I didn't hear him by looking out the car window.

It might've seemed like I didn't take it to heart, but the fact was that I strained to control my heartbeat so much that my palms were covered in sweat.
