Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 You'll Pay for Your Betrayal

Avery knew she couldn't escape today, so she decided not to be as cautious as before. She met Jacob's eyes and intensified her tone.

"I hate your arrogance and your volatility. It was you who dumped me, and now it's also you who are pestering me. You said my father owed your sister a life. My family went bankrupt, my father was critically ill again and again, and I sacrificed my marriage and my child. Isn't that even enough to pay you back? If not, then kill me!"

As Avery spoke, Jacob's eyes grew increasingly colder. Avery was so nervous and agitated that her heart was pounding violently in her chest.

"When you were happy, you offered me 150 million dollars and drove me away, and when you were not, you came back to me. Jacob, I'm a person, not your plaything. Do you know why I'd rather stay on a deserted island than go back to the bustling city? It's because, here, everyone sees me as a human being. They respect me and make me feel the meaning of my life."

Jacob tightened his grip because he thought Avery had fallen in love with another man.

"Just because someone is a little nice to you, you betray me and disobey me for him, completely forgetting our agreement. You're as naive as ever."

Avery frowned and wondered if Jacob had trouble understanding what she had said.

"No, I never...."

Jacob continued, "Do you know who he is? Do you know what he wants? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You know how you'll end up if you trust him too much."

Avery was very displeased with the way Jacob had described Frank. "Yes, I don't know his past or what he's up to, but at least I'm sure that he won't hurt me like you do."

Seeing her fiercely defending another man, Jacob was completely enraged.

Like a fierce beast, he snarled. "As I said, if you do something wrong, you'll be punished. You'll pay a high price for your betrayal."
