Reclaiming the CEO's Heart

Chapter 93 Lose

Chapter 93 Lose

Isabella was full of hatred, unable to bear such a despicable person in the world. She lowered her voice

and said, "Isn't stealing her man and becoming Mrs. Hill enough for you?"

Layla sneered, "If it weren't for her, I would have married Jacob long ago. She stole what belonged to

me."

"Miss White, your shamelessness truly deserves recognition in the Guinness World Records. I

guarantee that for the next hundred years, no one will be able to surpass your record. I used to think

my shamelessness was quite remarkable, but I can't help but feel inferior compared to you. After all,

your shamelessness goes beyond anyone, past or present."

"Isabella, I advise you to speak to me more politely," Layla threatened with crossed arms.

"You're getting agitated!" Isabella had always been able to make people furious.

"Now, I don't think it's me who is agitated." Isabella remained indifferent, contrasting sharply with Avery,

who was in the midst of turmoil.

Avery had already raised the price to one billion. Jacob knew her bottom line; he only needed to add

another 20 million to secure the Adams Mansion successfully.

Seeing no paddle raised by Jacob, Rudolf tentatively asked, "Is anyone else willing to bid?"

"One billion once."

Jacob's phone vibrated incessantly in his pocket.

"One billion twice."

Isabella also held her breath. It was no longer just a competition for the Su mansion but a contest over

Jacob's heart between two women.

His phone vibrated once again.

"One billion..."

Rudolf had lifted the hammer, and Jacob spoke coldly, "One billion and 20 million."

Avery's body trembled lightly; she knew she had lost, utterly defeated.

Layla raised the corners of her mouth in a victorious smile. Condescendingly, she told Isabella, "As I

said, Jacob will give me whatever I want."

Isabella stared fiercely at the back of Jacob's head, wishing her gaze could penetrate through his skull.

Avery bit her lip tightly, watching Layla ascend the stage to express her gratitude to Jacob for giving her

the Adams Mansion.

It felt like a bucket of icy water had been poured down on Avery.

She couldn't hear what they said afterwards; it was as if the world had gone silent. All she felt was the

intense coldness creeping through her body.

Even though she was sitting under the heater and wrapped in a down jacket, she felt an icy chill

permeate her entire being. She even saw darkness creeping into her vision. She had to grip the

armrest tightly and close her eyes to steady herself for a few seconds.

Isabella knew that Avery was initially in control, but the sudden appearance of Jacob had disrupted all

her plans.

"Let's go," Avery stood up.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Isabella supported her, knowing that Avery's time was limited, wanting to fulfill every wish she had to

the best of her ability.

She didn't want her to leave this world with any regrets, except there was nothing she could do about

this matter.

"Avy..." Isabella looked at her with deep concern.

Despite her extreme disappointment, Avery maintained a reassuring smile, comforting Isabella, "I'm

fine. Maybe it's just not meant to be for me."

Layla was a new love to Jacob, while Avery was just a plaything to Jacob; it was clear who would win.

She was not surprised by Jacob's decision.

He had always been interested in tormenting her, and this was indeed the best opportunity to strike her.

Isabella saw her disappointment and didn't know how to comfort her. She could only hold her and say,

"Let's go."

Avery remained silent on the way back without showing much disappointment on her face. She leaned

her cheek against her hand, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Let's take a stroll along the coastal road," Isabella suggested.

"Okay."
