Chapter 124 His Heart Flutters for Her Again

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?"

...

Meanwhile, Sarah was excited as she told Layla, "Layla, we made it."

Layla walked away from a few women who were kissing her a*s and lowered her voice. "Are you

sure?"

"Absolutely. I saw that guy down the juice with my own eyes, and not long after, Avery went into the

room. She didn't come out for a good while. Let's go there in a few minutes. It's gonna work, no doubt."

Layla let out a sigh of relief and patted Sarah on the shoulder. "Good job!"

Sarah kept on kissing Layla's a*s. "Layla, I got another idea."

"Go on then," Layla responded.

"Since you want to ruin that bitch Avery's reputation, perhaps we should just drug her with more

medicine and ruin her life forever."

Layla looked at her with approval. "Keep going."

"People on this cruise ship today are all big shots. Everyone is well aware of how nasty this circle is.

They'd just gossip about that b*tch during meals and forget about her in a few days. The b*tch won't

learn the lesson, and I'm sure she'll continue causing trouble in the future," Sarah said.

Layla asked, "What should we do then?"

"I have a few friends who are anchors. I'll get them to do a live broadcast and let their fans watch all

that. Just imagine! It's a piece of news about a rich playboy's scandal on a cruise ship. I'm sure it's

going to spread like wildfire all over the country. Since we're going to do this, let's go all out," Sarah

responded.

Layla knew very well that this was the age of social media. Whatever went down on their cruise ship

was going to grab everyone's attention.

If Avery got caught in bed with someone, it wouldn't just make Jacob hate her. Her reputation would be

ruined, and she'd never be able to hold her head high again.

"That's really a good idea. Sarah, I didn't misjudge you."

Layla was really excited. She couldn't wait to see Avery being cursed by everyone.

"Layla, I'm going to contact my friends right away. Don't just stand around. Get all the gossip-mongers

over here. Let's see how that b*tch is going to handle this."

The more Layla thought about it, the more excited she got.

She had never been so humiliated in her entire life. Today, she was going to make Avery pay a high

price.

Layla walked over to Lily, who was surrounded by a lot of people. Lily quickly extended her hand.

"Layla."
