Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 But He Must Die

Frank knew how crazy Jacob was. If Frank showed excessive concern for Avery now, it would only harm her.

Soon, the door opened, and Frank saw Jacob dragging Avery out. Although she was frail, Jacob showed no mercy.

Frank instinctively wanted to walk up to Avery, but John coldly reminded him, "Don't move."

Frank looked at Avery with a worried face. Avery opened her mouth but didn't speak.

Jacob had a shiny black pistol in his hand as if he were the mighty God who could casually control the fate of others.

"Avy, look! He'll die because of you."

Avery was scared out of her wits, unsure of what to do to stop Jacob from killing Frank.

If she begged Jacob, it would only provoke him, but if she stayed silent, he would also kill Frank.

Avery thought to herself, "God! What should I do?"

At that moment, a clear voice sounded. "Go to h*ll, you je*k!"

It was Carl's voice. It was unknown how long he had been hiding and waiting for the opportunity.

He had learned marksmanship from Frank but was prohibited from using guns because it was dangerous.

Carl naively believed that if he killed Jacob, the crisis would be over, and Avery would be free from then on.

There followed a gunshot. The bullet did not come from Jacob's hand, but from Carl's gun. At that moment, Carl was in an unnoticed corner.

The gun was aimed at Jacob, but Carl was clearly not good at shooting and missed the target.

With a swoosh, the bullet went straight toward Avery's chest.
