Chapter 25 Grace's Death
Avery was lost in thought when Jacob's sudden voice frightened her. She fell to the ground on the spot,
with the documents in her hands scattered on the floor.
Jacob usually came back late at night. Why did he come back so early today?
Although they were still husband and wife, her behavior was disgraceful, not to mention that she knew
Jacob hated others playing tricks behind his back.
Avery swallowed and said with an unnatural look, "You, you are back."
Avery didn't know what occasion he had attended. He wore a black and white formal suit. The suit
outlined his tall and tall figure. As soon as Jacob glanced at her, she felt like she was in an ice cellar.
He walked slowly towards her with his long legs, slowly taking off his suit jacket with his fingers. He
was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Every move he made exuded an air of nobility.
He was just taking off his clothes, but Avery was so scared that she couldn't move. She wanted to run
away but couldn't move, as if her feet had been tapped on acupuncture points.
Before dating Jacob, he was known as a ruthless individual, often referred to as the "devil who devours
others."
Only now could she truly understand how terrifying Jacob was from the perspective of an ordinary
person. His terrifying aura was inherently superior to everything else. Every time he took a step
forward, she took a step back.
Until her back was pressed against the safe, she had no way to retreat, and Jacob knelt down on one
knee in front of her.
"Did you see it?" His voice was calm, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
But Avery understood that the calmer he was, the angrier he became.
She couldn't see any emotion inside his deep eyes.
Avery swallowed and nodded cautiously, then quickly shook her head.
She saw it. To be precise, she had not finished reading it; she had only read part of the death report.
Jacob's sharp-jointed finger lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.
"Do you know why I didn't keep that child?"
Avery bit her lip and replied in a low voice, "Because of Olivia."
She saw the autopsy report. Olivia's real cause of death was not drowning. She was strangled and
thrown into the water. There was another important message.
Olivia was three months pregnant.
If she and Martin really had a relationship, the child would most likely be Martin's.
Jacob's fingers touched her biting lips, and a cold voice sounded in Avery's ears. "I checked the
monitoring of Grace's entry from the obstetrics and gynecology department, and Martin was there that
day."
Avery hurriedly explained, "My parents have been divorced for many years. It's normal for my dad to
have that kind of need. Even if the two were in a relationship, I checked that my dad was very generous
to her. It's impossible for my dad to kill her."novelbin
Jacob raised the corners of his mouth. That was the first time in a long time that he discussed Grace's
death with Avery.
"In your eyes, Martin is a gentleman. He treats you well just because he is your father. There is light
and shadow in this world. No one is perfect. What you saw was only what he wanted you to see."
