Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Confrontations and Concealed Alliances

Randy positioned himself protectively in front of Avery. "Avy, don't look."

Carl, on the other hand, cursed loudly, "I take back what I said about him being a man. Betraying his own wife, he's nothing but scum. Avy, don't look at that kind of trash, or you'll jinx yourself."

Avery's heart ached for a moment. Even though Jacob kept her close, holding her in his arms night after night, it couldn't change the fact that he was going to marry Layla.

Layla, eager to solidify her status, flaunted her affection with Jacob, thus appearing frequently in public spaces.

She hadn't expected to encounter Avery there, but in front of Avery, she clung tightly to Jacob's arm, using this way to assert her victory.

This method, though simple, was very effective.

Jacob watched Avery walk away with the kids to Zone B, and he pulled his arm away from Layla.

Jacob used to be polite to her, but now, he wouldn't even bother with basic courtesies.

Layla's face, heavily made up, twisted with distaste as she lowered her voice. "Are you going to see that wretch again? Jacob, don't forget. I am your fiancée now!"

Jacob looked down indifferently at Layla's desperate actions. He had once cared about family ties and their childhood acquaintance.

Apart from being obedient to Layla, he had always treated her with respect.

Having seen Layla's true nature, he found even a second glance at her repulsive.

"You want me to put on an act for you, and I've done it," Jacob replied coldly, devoid of any pity in his eyes.

"Now everyone thinks we're a loving couple."

As she watched Jacob's retreating figure, Layla's face was contorted with rage, her chest roiling with towering hatred.

She had a bad feeling that this man's hatred for Avery was diminishing, turning into love instead.

She had struggled so hard to get to where she was today. If things continued this way, she would definitely lose Jacob for good.
