Chapter 136 The Enemy of Her Enemy
La hurriedly ran over and said, "It''s Avery. Just investigate Avery. At the very least, we still have
Martin. Threaten her with Martin, and she will definitely return Ethan."
Jacob stopped in his tracks and turned to look at La, his eyes flickering.
"Jacob, I..."

"La, sometimes I really wonder what''s inside your head."
Jacob slightly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "If it weren''t for Daniel''s sake, I would really want
to open you up and take a look."
The dark voice frightened La, causing her to tremble. She looked at Jacob in fear, but all she saw in
his eyes was anger and disgust as if everything was burning.
This man was on the verge of losing control. He exerted all his strength to restrain his anger.
But his eyes didn''t hide his disdain and fury towards her.
"You better pray that nothing happens to them. Even if Daniel crawls out of the coffin, he won''t be able
to save Can!"
Jacob disappeared from the room, and the overwhelming killing intent gradually faded; even the air
became much fresher.
La''s back was covered in cold sweat. Wasn''t it Avery who did this?
What happened to her child?
Jacob stood in front of a map, and John analyzed, "There is an archipgo nearby, with records of
over three hundred inds, including some uninhabited ones."
"Exclude densely popted inds and focus on remote inds with steep terrains and scarce
resources. Be discreet and use drones for reconnaissance without making any noise."
"Understood."
"Have the fingerprints on the bullet been extracted?"
John hurriedly replied, "Yes, they have been extracted. Wepared them with the fingerprint
database and haven''t found any relevant individuals for now."
"If we can''t extract fingerprints, then focus on the bullet and the MK23. Inquire on the ck market, as
this kind of gun is bing rare."
"Yes, Mr. Hill."
"Interrogate everyone who has had contact with the criminals rigorously, see if we can find any clues.
Also, keep an eye on their movements. If it''s for money, they will soone knocking at our door."
Jacob''s eyes narrowed. "I want them to regret ever crossing paths with the wrong person."
...
Avery woke up from a daze, her memory freezing at the moment she lost consciousness. "Ethan, how
is that child?"
She abruptly opened her eyes and found a dagger pressed against her neck.
"Don''t move." The person holding the dagger warned in a hoarse voice.
Only then did Avery realize that she was in a run-down wooden cabin. It shouldn''t be far from the
seaside, as she could hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Using her peripheral vision, she saw a man dressed in ck standing beside her. The de against
her neck was dangerously sharp, and Ethan was not in the room.
She had to keep her nerves tense and spoke, "I won''t move, don''t do anything rash."
"Tell me, what were you doing boarding the shipst night?" the man interrogated.
Although Avery didn''t know the origin of these people, she knew one thing very well.
The enemy of her enemy was her friend.
"For this child," she said firmly.
"As far as I know, you''re neither the child''s biological mother nor the nanny. Did you risk everything and
board the ship for someone else''s child?"
"Someone else''s child?" Avery sneered coldly. "To be precise, it''s my enemy''s child."
Before the man could continue his questioning, Avery told her story, word by word. "Two years ago, I
had a happy family. I had a loving man until another woman appeared. She became pregnant with my
husband''s child, and on a snowy night a year ago, she pushed me, who was also pregnant, off the
cruise ship."
"Later, I lost my child and my husband. My father became a vegetable due to illness. Our family went
bankrupt while she became Mrs. Hill and held a first birthday party for her child."
Avery gritted her teeth with hatred, and the man didn''t expect that his casual question would elicit such
a melodramatic story.
"You are..."
Avery closed her eyes and said slowly, word by word, "Jacob''s ex-wife."
