NovelUpdateChapter 204 The Wedding Ring Hearing Jeremiah's words, I let out a sharp laugh. "And how exactly do you wantto make it up to you?" I was genuinely curious to see just how shameless he could be.
Jeremiah seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in my tone, convinced I was actually giving in. He immediately put on a smug look, as if he had just confirmed that I still cared about him.
"Didn't you start a stuwith Levi? My company wants to collaborate with your studio. I've sent multiple people to negotiate, but none of them have had any success. If you helpclose this deal, I might consider getting back together with you." I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you go around saying I was involved with Levi and acted all high and mighty about not working with my studio? What changed your mind now?" A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, but it vanished just as quickly. He scoffed as if I were the one being unreasonable. "I've thought it over. He's just your junior, nothing more.

I scoffed and waved him off. "Sorry, but Levi is the one handling all the studio's partnerships now. I don't have a say in it. As for getting back together, I don't need that either." I raised my hand, showing him the wedding ring on my finger.
Eric had insisted I wear it before leaving the villa today. I hadn't thought much of it at the time, but it turned out to be useful.
Jeremiah's expression stiffened for a moment as his gaze landed on the wedding ring.

Don't think I don't know that the things Eric said in court were all fake You two planned it just to pissoff." I looked at his overly confident face and couldn't help but roll my eyes. "If you could bottle up your confidence and share it, you'd probably save hundreds of people from low self-esteem." Jeremiah immediately caught the sarcasm in my words. His smirk froze. "You..." He pointed at me, his eyes burning with anger. The next second, he grabbed my wrist, trying to pullaway. "Cwith me. We need to talk."
Before I could say a word, a strong hand reached in and forced him to let ve go. I turned around and immediately felt a wave of relief-it was Eric. He gave
