Chapter 53 What a Heartless Man
Chapter 53 What a Heartless Man
It was said that there was no story without coincidences, but it was too coincidental today.
Avery didn''t know what bad luck she had encountered. Every time she was in a miserable state, she
would always be bumped into by him.
The ke family and the White family were old friends, and this time it was the White family who took
the initiative to involve the ke family to be a shareholder. Andrew personally rmended talents
for her, so they organized this party.
No one expected that Jacob would apany La here. Jacob''s appearance made everyone greatly
honored, and they greeted him immediately.
Andrew, being a gentleman, did not leave Avery behind. Instead, he patiently handed her a tissue. In
the chaos, their fingers touched.
The room was warm with heating, and Avery wore a white knitted dress under her down jacket. She

didn''t deliberately emphasize her figure, but the fluffy knitwear couldn''t hide her well-proportioned body.
She slightly tilted her head, revealing the delicate and fair back of her neck and looking particrly
adorable.
Jacob noticed that there were no marks on her neck anymore. Just like love, one day the traces of her
in his heart wouldpletely disappear, too.
However, when Andrew grabbed her wrist, Jacob realized that he wasn''t asposed as he had
imagined. His ck eyes stared at Andrew''s hand.
Andrew sensed a chilling towards him and looked up, only to find that Sarah was stopping Jacob
and greeting him. He wondered if it was his illusion.
He greeted Jacob withposure, "I really didn''t expect you toe in person, Mr. Hill. It is truly an
honor. La, this is Avery, the genius from our college that I told you about. Avy, you should know Mr.
Hill, and this is Mr. Hill''s..."
Avery, who had changed from her previous gentle demeanor, looked more indifferent. "I know, Mr. Hill''s
fiancee."
It was truly ridiculous. She had thought that she and Jacob would never have any intersection again,
but she didn''t expect to see him so soon.
Andrew pped his forehead. "Look at me! I forgot that Mr. Hill and La are about to get married, and
it''s being reported by all the major media outlets. No one here should be unaware."
"Everyone knows that La is Mr. Hill''s fiancee, but does anyone know about Mr. Hill''s ex-wife?" A
female voice with a smile came closer, and it was Isabe, who had just made a deal for a house.
Isabe had a straightforward personality and was also very beautiful. She had pink hair tied up behind
her head and walked in wearing high heels.
As soon as she spoke with hostility, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Isabe, don''t talk nonsense. Mr. Hill hasn''t even gotten married yet."
"That''s right. Mr. Hill loves Miss White so much."
Isabe was determined to uphold justice for Avery, so she walked toward Jacob fearlessly step by
step. "Mr. Hill has a deep love for his current girlfriend, but I wonder how he treats his ex-wife. Did he
abandon her? Or..."
Jacob didn''t give her a chance to finish her insulting words and interrupted, "Not worth mentioning."
After saying that, he walked straight past them. Although everyone was surprised that he had an ex-
wife, it was clear that he didn''t want to discuss this topic. Except for Isabe, no one wanted to annoy
him.
Everyone surrounded Jacob and left, paying no attention to the expression on Avery''s face. Only
Isabe, who was the closest to her, felt that her body was trembling.
She didn''t expect Jacob to be so heartless, belittling their past as if it meant nothing.
Avery clenched her fists. It turned out that in his eyes, the precious time they had together was not
worth mentioning.
Isabe had wanted to embarrass La, but Jacob was such a heartless man and didn''t consider their
past at all.
She looked at Avery apologetically, knowing that there was a use in Avery''s divorce agreement with
Jacob to keep their past a secret.
"Avy, are you feeling ufortable? Let me take you home first."
If Avery continued to stay here, she would just be an easy target for Jacob''s ridicule, and La
would be even more triumphant.
