Reclaiming the CEO's Heart

Chapter 28 Pay Back

Chapter 28 Pay Back

Olivia was as important to him as she was to Martin.

"Undeniably, he may be a good father, but he is definitely not a good person. There is a devil hidden

under that hypocritical look. Avy, I won't hide it from you now that things have reached this point."

Jacob knelt down on one knee. On the ground, he held Avery's cheeks with both hands. A sick and

paranoid smile flashed across his face.

"I once regarded you as my life and loved you so much that I couldn't help myself, but you are Martin's

only daughter. As much as I loved you, I hate you now."

Although he was smiling, Avery felt a chill down her back.

"The day Layla and I fell into the water at the same time, did you deliberately save her first? Do you

want our child to pay for your sister's child?"

"Yes, tit for tat."

Avery grabbed his collar with both hands. Tears slid down her cheeks, and she said, "Are you crazy?

He is our child! He has not come to this world. What is wrong with him? He is innocent!"

Jacob tilted his head and smiled evilly. "Then what did my sister do wrong? Isn't her child innocent?"

Avery looked at Jacob, who seemed to reveal his dark side completely. This topic was his emotional

baggage that could never be solved.

"Jacob, I understand your pain of losing your sister..."

Jacob's expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly, "You don't understand! How can there be

any empathy in this world? My sister was born prematurely, and she has had physical problems since

she was a child. Unfortunately, she also had a heart disease. She was the beloved baby of our family.

But she died so miserably! She was such a beautiful little girl. I would feel sad for a long time if I

stepped on her hairpins. But in the end, she left the world in such an undignified way.

Jacob slowly stretched out his hand and stroked Avery's cheek bit by bit. "You will never know how I felt

when I went to identify the body, how desperate I felt when I lifted the white cloth. I would rather never

find her in my life."

Avery opened her mouth, but she could say nothing. From her position, even saying sorry would be

blasphemous to the deceased.

She also understood why Jacob was so emotional during that time and why he looked at her like that. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

In order to prove that it was not Martin who killed his sister, he must have made a lot of effort.

This evidence could also prove he once loved her deeply. He tried to overturn the hypothesis and

reverse the case for Martin, but the truth was that there was more and more evidence, all of which were

the executioners pushing the two of them further away.

He struggled, but in the end, he couldn't get over this hurdle and live peacefully with her.

Even if his sister was dead, he still wanted to avenge Grace.

Avery knelt on the ground and tugged on his collar tightly, putting her head on his forehead. "Jacob,

you must have been in pain at that time. The Adams family has gone bankrupt, and I have lost my

child. My father is lying on the bed, unconscious. Let's not torture each other anymore, okay?"

Jacob's body trembled slightly as she called him so gently he hadn't heard for a long time. At that

moment, complicated emotions arose in his heart, and Avery didn't know what he was thinking.

She waited anxiously for a result. Avery didn't want him to live in self-torture every day. She wondered

if they could reconcile.

After a long while, Jacob slowly raised his head. His eyes were slightly red, and he held back the tears.

The rough fingertips gently traced her cheek, and the slender eyelashes covered his scarlet eyes.

He said, "Avy, then you should pay back what your father owed me."
