Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Entwined Fates of Agony

A cup of hot water with wolfberries was handed to her. "If you can't drink, then don't. Words can hurt just as much as alcohol harms the body. What's a young lady like you doing with alcohol? Have a cup of warm water to soothe your stomach."

Ronnie's voice was gentle, like that of an older brother, showing extra care for her given her status.

Avery smiled gratefully towards him, but before she could say her thanks, Jacob's gaze turned even colder.

"There are still two more," he reminded coldly.

Ronnie, aware of Avery's importance to him, immediately furrowed his brows. Some things, when taken too far, hurt not only others but also oneself.

"Alright," Avery picked up the glass without hesitation, like a determined general ready to face the inevitable, and once again, she downed it all at once.

The second glass of alcohol was as potent as poison.

The alcohol hit her too fast, and Avery's body suddenly collapsed.

In the midst of the dizziness, she thought she would slam onto the table, but she didn't realize she was being held tightly by a man.

Amidst the cheers, she was carried away by the man like a shooting star. Avery mumbled in a daze, "More... one more drink."

Her body was thrown onto the back seat of a car. Jacob stared at her with angry eyes. "Avery, what are you causing trouble for again? Haven't you acted enough?"

Avery, dizzy from the fall, paid no attention to anything else. She knelt on the back seat, reaching out to grab Jacob's cuff, pleading desperately like a child asking for candy.

"Find Leon and perform the brain surgery for my father. I owe you. I'll repay it."

Jacob looked down at Avery, who was now showing signs of intoxication. Her pale face had a touch of blush, clearly out of control, yet she was still struggling to stay coherent.

"Jacob, No matter what you want to do, please target me... I only have my father left, and he's my only family. I beg you, spare him."

Jacob still sneered. "Spare me? What do you have to offer? Besides this life, what else do you have?"

Without warning, he sealed her lips, swallowing up all her sounds. He forcefully and dominantly occupied every inch of her territory, making her breathe in his unique aura.

Jacob felt uneasy and restless. On one hand, he couldn't stand to see Avery happy, and he wanted to drag her into hell.

Yet, when he saw her struggling in that hell, he felt no satisfaction at all. His heart felt like it was blocked by a huge boulder, making it hard for him to breathe.

When his thin lips touched hers, the familiar fragrance from her body gradually calmed the restlessness in his heart.

The two of them were like a tangled mess. The more they struggled, the tighter they became entwined.

As his fingers deftly pulled down the zipper of her jacket, Avery placed her hands firmly on his chest.

"No!" Her face was etched with refusal, further fueling Jacob's displeasure.

He lowered his gaze and stared at her, repeating her words from just now, "It was you who said 'no matter what I want to do'."
