From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339

So the next day, Lydia got all dolled up and headed out to meet him. The place they agreed to meet was a fancy restaurant.

Maybe to show how much he valued Lydia, or maybe for some other reason, Jeremy had actually booked out the whole floor of the place.

When Lydia arrived, he even stood up to pull out her chair for her-every gesture was the picture of a gentleman.

Lydia maintained her graceful smile throughout, as if this really was just a simple dinner between friends.

After some gentlemanly small talk, Jeremy finally cut to the chase. “I’m guessing things between you and Emily aren’t exactly friendly, right?”

The real daughter and the impostor-some people were just born to be rivals. Jeremy’s question really came out of nowhere.

Seeing the caution in Lydia’s eyes, Jeremy smiled calmly. “To be honest, I have a personal grudge against Emily, so…”

He poured Lydia a cup of coffee and said, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn’t it?”

Lydia’s eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t help getting a little worked up. “You have a personal grudge against Emily? That means you hate her, right?”

Jeremy gave Lydia a thoughtful look. He could easily tell how excited and fired up Lydia got the moment she heard he had a grudge against Emily. It was almost like she’d been afraid from the very beginning that he might get close to Emily.

He kept his thoughts to himself and nodded with a gentlemanly smile. “Yeah, I really hate her. In my eyes, she doesn’t even come close to you, Ms. Bennett.”

Lydia knew there was probably some flattery in his words, but she still loved hearing them.

No matter what had happened between Jeremy and Emily, as long as Jeremy wasn’t obsessed with Emily anymore and became her most loyal simp, that was exactly what she wanted to see.

Jeremy kept up his gentle smile and said, “How could I ever do anything to hurt someone as gorgeous as you, Ms. Harper?

Don’t worry. I definitely won’t help anyone else go against you.”

He promised with such conviction, but Emily knew better. She couldn’t believe a single word that came out of his mouth. But she didn’t expose him. Instead, she put on a grateful act and toasted him with her drink.

Then, without missing a beat, she made sure the news of her dinner with Jeremy reached Lydia in a way that wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.
