Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Still out of His League

Sarah was still reluctant, unhappy with the fact that Avery could always become the center of attention whenever Avery showed up.

Andrew walked up in a gentlemanly manner. "Hi, Avery! It's really rare to meet you on an occasion like this."

"Hello, Andrew!" Avery politely greeted him. "I used to hate going to this kind of event. And later, after my family went broke, there was no chance for me to attend them."

"Come on, Avery! You can just casually throw around one hundred million. If you didn't even have the chance, then nobody on this ship would do." Despite knowing the relationship between Avery and Jacob, Andrew did not spill the beans about it and just secretly winked at her.

Avery was well aware that Andrew had found out something by checking the surveillance earlier.

Just when Avery was about to speak, Sarah's voice dripped with sarcasm as she chimed in, "I told you, Andrew. With Avery's stunning look, she must have latched onto a rich old guy. Avery, I haven't heard of any old geezers kicking the bucket lately. How could you curse your husband before he's dead? That's just downright nasty."

In Sarah's opinion, Avery was keeping her husband's identity under wraps because Avery had married an old man. "If her husband were a rich brat, I don't believe she wouldn't show off," thought Sarah to herself.

"Sarah, stop talking sh*t in front of everyone!" Andrew shot daggers at Sarah.

It pissed Sarah off. "Andrew, why the h*ll are you always protecting her? Do you want to marry her when she becomes a widow, huh? Your father won't let you marry this kind of woman."

"You're going too far, Sarah!" Andrew snapped. Then, in a gentlemanly manner, he suggested, "Avery, why don't you head inside first? It's freaking cold out here on the deck." This was not a good place for them to have a chat.

Avery couldn't be bothered to talk with Sarah, nodded, and walked away. Back in school, Sarah had also pestered Avery relentlessly like a mad dog.

"Andrew, you have a crush on her, right? Back in school, you even secretly wrote love letters to her. I knew it!" Sarah snarled.

Andrew looked at Avery, who had walked into a distance. She was out of his league, no matter back then or now.
