Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Take Action

A sneer sounded in Avery's ear, "It is said that Jacob is devoted and unchanging, but no one ever mentioned his ex-wife."

Avery clenched her fingers tightly, her face filled with sadness. "In his eyes, I'm just a disposable plaything. Naturally, he wouldn't let anyone know about my existence. Last night was the anniversary of my premature son's death. I secretly boarded the ship intending to take Ethan away, but I didn't expect you all to beat me to it."

"Your own son died; why did you try to steal someone else's child?" the man asked.

Avery spoke word by word, her face full of grief. "To have his son accompany mine in death! Do you know what kind of life I've lived this past year? I couldn't sleep at night. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see myself lying on the operating table. I..."

As she became emotional, Avery burst into tears. Her tears fell onto the cold blade and dripped onto the back of the man's hand.

The man moved the blade away. "Why are you crying? I haven't done anything to you!"

Avery let out her grievances, regardless of who the man was. She loudly denounced Jacob's despicable behavior.

Outside the door.

Carl held a stalk of catnip in his mouth, looking mischievous as he whispered to Randy beside him, "Hey, do you think the boss has taken a liking to that woman? He actually guarded her all night."

"Nonsense, do you think Frank has never seen a woman before? I think he must find her suspicious and was afraid she would escape. That's why he guarded her all night."

"If she was suspicious, we could have fed her to the fishes last night. Besides, even if she comes back, we can just tie her up with a rope. Does he really need to stay awake all night? He must have fallen in love at first sight with her. To be honest, I've never seen such a beautiful girl before."

"That woman should be awake now. Let's go and see. The boss is probably interrogating her cruelly. Just don't end up killing her."

The two of them removed their masks and pushed the door open, but what they saw left them dumbfounded.

Their usually imposing boss was now standing helplessly at the bedside, trying to comfort the crying woman. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Your tears won't change anything."
