    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 workce.


    This list of preferences waspletely 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.


    "You just need to follow the instructions."


    The glow from theputer 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 workce, was undoubtedly a stranger.


    Avery nodded. "I will get used to it."


    Frowning, Jacob looked at her serious little face. Was she really nning to be his secretary?


    In just one day, she had undergone such a significant transformation.


    Recently, due to their disappearance, Jacob had umted arge 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 herptop. Fortunately, she was temporarily released


    from her constraints.


    She quickly searched the inte, specifically looking at Jacob''s schedule on the day of Martin''s


    ident.


    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 thepany or from the Hill Mansion to the event venue, he wouldn''t have taken


    the route of the ident.


    Either he was the mastermind behind it all, wanting to witness Martin''s death firsthand at the scene of


    the ident, or Jacob had no choice but to take that route.


    On the day of Martin''s ident, there were several other idents apart from his. Searching for them


    wasn''t difficult.


    Soon, she found news reports about the ident scene. Among these reports, Avery saw two other


    idents 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


    ident.


    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 ident and ended up at the scene of Martin''s ident.


    Seeing this, a chilling sensation ran down Avery''s spine.


    Her previous spection had be a reality. There was indeed someone who had beenying the


    groundwork since two years ago!


    Both she and Jacob became pawns on that person''s chessboard.


    Even her father''s ident was orchestrated by that person to frame Jacob.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    That person wanted to use her anger towards the child to seek revenge on Jacob, thuspletely


    breaking their rtionship.


    If she hadn''t changed her mind at thest minute, Ethan would already be dead.


    What a ruthless person.


    The door opened, and Jacob appeared at the entrance. He nced coldly at her and said, "Am I


    seeing a ghost?"
