Chapter 127 Betrayal and Redemption
Layla was originally full of passion, but now it was as if she was drenched from head to toe with a basin of water, her whole body freezing, and even her blood seemed to have forgotten to flow.
She found her body uncontrollably trembling, and her heart was faintly aching.
After a while, she managed to come to her senses. "What... what are you all doing?"
The familiar opening line, coupled with the trembling voice, exposed her inner unease.
Avery, originally intending to lift her head and see if her complexion was as pale as it used to be, knew that the feeling of being lifted high and then ruthlessly dropped was not pleasant.
Soon, the incident of Jacob secretly enjoying his own affair at his son's first birthday party would explode on the internet. She would make sure that Jacob and Layla would face ruin!
The hand placed on the back of her head felt like an iron arm, not allowing her to move a fraction. This made Avery very dissatisfied.
Jacob held Avery, and everyone was waiting for his explanation to Layla.
His first reaction was to take the suit jacket nearby and cover Avery's exposed skin.
Then he picked up Avery and looked down at Layla, the coldness in his eyes so evident.
"You will pay for your foolishness."
After saying this, he left with long strides, without explanation, and without any comfort.
There was only boundless arrogance.
It made Layla feel like a joke tossed aside.
If he didn't even explain to Layla, then he certainly didn't need to explain to anyone else.
The anticipated showdown and the confrontation with the secret lover did not happen. From start to finish, Jacob left with dignity and arrogance. Instead, he left Layla, the instigator, in an awkward position.
As the crowd dispersed, there were one or two mocking remarks, "Did she really think Mr. Hill would dote on her so much?"
"She must be feeling extremely awkward about this. If my boyfriend dares to cheat, I'll give him and the vixen a slap each."
