Chapter 157 We Are Friends

Avery looked up at him. The sun was shining on him, but her eyes were so cold.

There was anger, ridicule, and contempt in his eyes.

"Jacob, what do you want from me? Do I not even deserve to live my own life?"

Obviously, they were divorced, but this man was even more possessive of her than before the divorce,

and it had even reached a perverted level.

Jacob's eyes fell on the big hand holding her wrist tightly. Frank caught his eyes and subconsciously

blocked Avery behind him.

The eyes of the two men met, and Frank didn't look intimidated at all, "You are divorced, and she

doesn't want to go with you."

Frank's actions and words thoroughly angered Jacob.

Jacob looked at Frank with deep eyes, and he seemed very unhappy.

Even the surrounding air sounded noisy with the impending rain, and the sea wind was stirring wildly,

blowing Avery's slightly longer hair.

She looked pale and was hiding behind a man. Although the man had a good figure, his shabby black

jacket was already in tatters.

Jacob suddenly felt very unhappy. The man was no match for him. Why had she run away from him

repeatedly just because of this man?

Jacob habitually took out a cigarette and lit it. He stood there lazily and proudly.

"Who are you to her? Who do you think you are to interrupt when we talk?"

Frank was speechless but quickly answered, "We are friends."

"Friends?" Jacob sneered, "Avery, you befriended a kidnapper. You're something."

The word "kidnapper" sounded particularly harsh.

"Jacob, things are not what you think. I can explain about the child."

Jacob narrowed his cold eyes and said, "Come up."

This game was over.

The overwhelming net he dropped made it impossible for Avery to escape.

Frank knew what awaited Avery was a living hell if she left with Jacob.

"Don't go." He held Avery's wrist and tried to make a final struggle, but he didn't know that this action

thoroughly angered Jacob.

There was a gunshot. Avery was used to the sound of gunshots, so she didn't scream.

The bullet was fired at Frank's feet. If Avery hadn't been in front of him, the shot would never have

landed here.

Avery hurriedly broke away from Frank's hand. She knew that the more she resisted and got closer to

Frank, the more miserable they would be.

Standing beside Frank, she said gratefully, "Thank you for your company during this period, but... it's

time to say goodbye."

Frank wanted to step forward, but Avery refused, "Don't come over."

She walked towards Jacob step by step. Frank clenched his fists tightly but did not dare to move rashly.

Several snipers were targeting him around. As soon as Avery left and Jacob gave the order, Frank

would be killed immediately. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

How could Avery not know what Jacob was thinking? He had never been a soft-hearted man.

Moreover, Frank had kidnapped Ethan and injured Gail.

So before he gave the order, Avery rushed into his arms. Knowing Jacob preferred a soft approach,

she whispered, "Don't hurt him, please. He is a good man."

Jacob looked down at her with an undisguised sarcastic look in his eyes.

"You're begging me for another man. Avery, you're something."

He held her hand, and his palm was so close to hers. His palm was so warm as if he was going to burn

hers.
