    Chapter 182 I Believe You


    As soon as Jacob entered the room, he noticed that Avery''s face had lost all its color, appearing visibly


    pale and sickly.


    Her hands seemed to be trembling slightly. With aposed expression, Jacob strode towards Avery.


    "What are you looking at?"


    Avery didn''t hide anything. What caught Jacob''s attention was a gruesome scene of a car ident on


    her phone. It wasn''t surprising that she looked so terrible after witnessing such a bloody sight.


    "What''s there to see in these things?" Jacob thought she had stumbled upon a video by chance,


    intending to close it, but something felt off. This wasn''t a recent car ident.


    Avery turned off her phone and asked nonchntly, "Were you present at the scene when my father


    had the ident?"


    Jacob was unaware of Avery''s initial motive to harm Ethan. When Avery suddenly brought up the


    incident, he lowered his gaze and met her eyes. "Yes."


    "That day, we were supposed to go to themerce event, but we encountered an ident and took a


    different route. Unexpectedly, we witnessed your father''s ident."


    Just as Avery had expected, everything was manipted behind the scenes. She almost became a

    scapegoat for murder.


    The person behind the grave incident made Jacob misunderstand her intentions, and the car ident


    made her misunderstand Jacob''s actions.


    How did they end up being pushed into this situation step by step?


    How ruthless that person was!


    Seeing Avery''s silence and increasingly gloomyplexion, Jacob also sensed that something was


    amiss. "You don''t think I orchestrated all of this, do you?"


    He grabbed Avery''s shoulders, his expression extremely serious. "Avery, stop your unrealistic and wild


    thoughts. If I wanted to harm him, he would have died a thousand times over."


    Jacob''s tone was chilling. "Even if I were to take action, I would never involve innocent people or use


    someone else''s life to cover up the truth. If I want, I have a hundred, even a thousand ways to kill


    without leaving a trace."


    Before he could finish, Avery suddenly rushed into his embrace, her hands tightly holding his waist. "I


    believe you."


    Jacob pinched her chin, forcing her gaze to meet his own. Like an enraged beast, he stared coldly at


    Avery.


    "I don''t know what you''re plotting in your mind. Yes, our breakup wasn''t dignified, and I haven''t been


    good to you in these past two years. I understand if you hate me and me me. Avery, we can''t go


    back to the past, and I know that very well."


    He gripped Avery''s hand tightly. "Even if we bear deep resentment towards each other or walk on a


    thorny path, I can''t let you go because of this concern of yours; no matter how much I despise and hate


    your father, I won''t wish for his death."


    Avery''s wrist throbbed with pain from his grip, and his gaze burned like fire, making her cheeks flush


    and her heart pounding.


    Jacob revealed his innermost thoughts word by word. "Because I know one thing very clearly. If he


    dies, it will sever all connections between us. That''s why I won''t let him die. At the scene of the


    ident back then, I was the first to call for an ambnce."


    Avery was greatly shocked, not expecting him to do such a thing.


    Having said this, Jacob let out a deep sigh. "Whether it''s in the past or present, I never intended to kill


    him. So put away your thoughts, as I won''t stoop so low."


    If it were before, Avery would never have believed it. But at this moment, she understood everything,


    and even if Jacob didn''t say it, she knew it in her heart.


    She opened her mouth, feeling the impulse to let everything out at this moment.
