Chapter 181 They Were Pawns
As Avery raised her notebook, which recorded all of Jacob's preferences, she said, "Here, I haven't
finished memorizing yet. Mr. Hill, you prefer three cubes of sugar in your coffee, steak cooked to
medium rare, and you like cherries, blueberries..."
Avery closed the notebook and looked at Jacob with a serious expression. "I remember these are the
fruits you dislike the most, and you only eat steak cooked to medium rare. As for coffee, you never add
sugar."
If it weren't for Jacob earnestly warning her not to get anything wrong, Avery would have thought
someone was deliberately tripping her up in the workplace.
This list of preferences was completely opposite to Jacob's actual habits.
Jacob took the notebook from her hands. "You don't need to worry about that."
His preferences were not meant to be figured out by anyone other than Avery. No one else knew his
true likes and dislikes. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"You just need to follow the instructions."
The glow from the computer screen inside the car illuminated Jacob's face, making his facial features
appear even colder.
Suddenly, she felt as if she had never truly understood the man she shared a bed with.
Jacob, in the workplace, was undoubtedly a stranger.
Avery nodded. "I will get used to it."
Frowning, Jacob looked at her serious little face. Was she really planning to become his secretary?
In just one day, she had undergone such a significant transformation.
Recently, due to their disappearance, Jacob had accumulated a large amount of work. Even when he
went home, he was either attending video conferences or reading emails.
After taking a shower, Avery sat on the bed with her laptop. Fortunately, she was temporarily released
from her constraints.
She quickly searched the internet, specifically looking at Jacob's schedule on the day of Martin's
accident.
It was Jacob and Grace's birthday on that day, so there shouldn't have been any official engagements.
However, the G20 Business Summit was held on that day, and as the chairman, he had to attend and
deliver a speech.
Whether it was from the company or from the Hill Mansion to the event venue, he wouldn't have taken
the route of the accident.
Either he was the mastermind behind it all, wanting to witness Martin's death firsthand at the scene of
the accident, or Jacob had no choice but to take that route.
On the day of Martin's accident, there were several other accidents apart from his. Searching for them
wasn't difficult.
Soon, she found news reports about the accident scene. Among these reports, Avery saw two other
accidents on Crestway Road.
Although they weren't as severe as Martin's, they still caused traffic congestion.
Coincidentally, one short video captured Jacob's car.
Even with just one frame, Avery quickly captured it. The video was posted half an hour before Martin's
accident.
And this road was the most optimal route to the scene. Jacob, appearing here, indicated that he
originally intended to go to the business summit.
He changed his route due to the accident and ended up at the scene of Martin's accident.
Seeing this, a chilling sensation ran down Avery's spine.
Her previous speculation had become a reality. There was indeed someone who had been laying the
groundwork since two years ago!
Both she and Jacob became pawns on that person's chessboard.
Even her father's accident was orchestrated by that person to frame Jacob.
That person wanted to use her anger towards the child to seek revenge on Jacob, thus completely
breaking their relationship.
If she hadn't changed her mind at the last minute, Ethan would already be dead.
What a ruthless person.
The door opened, and Jacob appeared at the entrance. He glanced coldly at her and said, "Am I
seeing a ghost?"
