Chapter 129 Unraveling Secrets and Emotions

However, Avery smiled gently. "I thought he was just using you as a pawn to get back at me."

"Why would you think that?" Jacob's brows furrowed. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Avery tonight.

He had wanted to say a few more words, but with Layla causing a scene like this, he would have to clean up the mess she had made.

Waiting for him was not only the tearful Layla but also the hellish White family.

He handed the room card to Avery. "Go back to your room and change your clothes."

As long as she changed her clothes, no one would know it was her just now. As for the rumors on the internet, Jacob could easily handle them.

He didn't know what Avery was plotting in her heart. In order to ease the previous embarrassment, the fireworks originally scheduled for ten o'clock were set off two hours early.

In the freezing weather, the fireworks shot up, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

The deck, covered with a thick layer of snow, was bustling with people.

The dazzling fireworks display momentarily made everyone forget the previous awkwardness, all enjoying this beautiful moment.

Even though they held high positions, no one could refuse a fleeting moment of beauty.

Except for Sarah, who was crying with her face covered, Andrew stood by her side, being a gentleman and consoling her. "You're already this old, so it's time to use your brain."

Sarah was now deeply regretful. The slap from Layla wasn't important; what was important was Avery.

"I had no idea that the man behind her was Mr. Hill. If Mr. Hill finds out that I planned this, not to mention my shares, the Lee family will be truly finished!"

"That's why I said you're foolish."

"Blake!" Sarah hadn't thought of this aspect. Naively, she thought that Avery was Mr. Hill's kept woman.

Even if she were a kept woman, she would be Mr. Hill's woman.
