Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 His Heart Flutters for Her Again

Jacob took a quick look at Jack, who was in the way, grabbed him, and shoved him aside. Then, Jacob even gave Jack a kick, waved his hand, and coldly ordered, "Get him out of here."

Perceiving something amiss, John dragged Jack away and closed the door for Jacob and Avery.

Jacob leaned in closer to Avery, and as he did, a chill came over her. It was so spine-tingling.

He clenched his teeth and ran his fingers across Avery's face, his voice icy cold. "Do you know what I hate the most?"

Avery stared into his angry eyes. "Betrayal and scheming."

Jacob grabbed Avery by the chin, his grip firm. "Avery, I told you not to try and piss me off before."

Avery had wanted to spill the beans about her discovery, but the evidence she had wouldn't hold up. It only proved that her report had been tampered with, and she couldn't produce anything solid.

In the end, Jacob would only blame her for making up more bullsh*t stories. Hence, Avery swallowed the words she was about to blurt out.

The day when the truth came out, she would give him a good slap in the face.

Clearly, Jacob wasn't in the mood to listen to any of that bullsh*t right now.

Avery had initially thought that maybe Layla was the person behind all this sh*t. After all, no one else had a motive.

Previously, Layla had made Avery kneel and tried to ruin Avery's face at Willowbrook.

It was pretty clear that Layla's tactics were still stuck in the shallow realm of women fighting for attention. It was a whole different ball game from that of the mastermind behind this whole scheme.

Moreover, Layla probably had no clue that Avery had stomach cancer. If Layla knew, she would've found another way to deal with Avery instead of resorting to these childish tactics.

In Avery's mind, Layla was no longer the prime suspect. Avery glanced around and wrapped her arms around Jacob's neck.

Her sudden movement caught Jacob off guard. It had been a long time since he saw her smile like this.

She looked pure and gorgeous like a flower in the rain with the godd*mn filth and hatred washed away.

It made Jacob's heart flutter for her again.

Like a seductive devil, Avery whispered in Jacob's ear, her voice sweet. "Can you clean up the spots he dirtied?"
