SWNOVELS Chapter 95 To See Her
Chapter 95 To See Her
Taking advantage of Isabella going to the boss to peel garlic, Avery changed her profile picture to a photo taken by Isabella without her knowledge. She took a picture of the seascape and captioned it: Distant.
Avery had no idea that, at this moment, there was a car parked downstairs in her apartment building. Jacob saw her figure as she walked away.
Thinking about the one billion she donated made him uneasy, just like when she jumped off the building.
He wanted an answer.
While Avery and Isabella hadn't returned yet, he waited in the car.
Until John spoke up, "Mr. Hill, Mrs. Hill is still eating barbecue. She won't come back soon."
"Where is she?"
"It looks like she's on the coastal road. Mrs. Hill just posted something on her Instagram."
Jacob immediately opened his phone, and on Instagram, he saw a post shared an hour ago by a wellness guru titled "Shocking! Eating boiled eggs can lead to this disease!"
The timestamp showed it was posted twenty-two minutes ago.
"When did she post this?"
"Twenty-two minutes ago." John noticed Jacob's expression turning colder and his voice becoming quieter. "Mr. Hill, can't you see it?"
Jacob tightly gripped his phone, gritting his teeth. "She deleted me."
That was awkward. She deleted Jacob but didn't delete John. John cautiously reminded, "Mrs. Hill also changed her nickname and profile picture."
Jacob snatched the phone from him immediately.
Her profile picture was now a photo of herself. Under the dim street lamp, the soft light outlined her blurred profile. The wind ruffled her hair while the smile on her lips appeared especially gentle, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.
Jacob touched her lips with his finger, feeling only the cold touch of the screen.
She once said that even if she died, she would never change their couple profile picture.
The new post showed an indistinct image of the sea. Jacob asked, "What is she trying to express?"
"Mr. Hill, this goes beyond my area of expertise. I've never been in a romantic relationship. But usually, when girls change their profile pictures and post on Instagram, it's because they've been hurt. Tonight's events... Mr. Hill..."
John didn't finish his sentence, as Jacob had indeed acted unfairly.
"I know."
"Mr. Hill, you've been too lenient with Miss White. Take Willowbrook, for example. It was clearly built by you for Mrs. Hill, and you put so much thought into dresses. She insisted on having them, even though they didn't fit her properly. Even the name of the hospital that was originally set was forcefully changed. Mrs. Hill must be very heartbroken."
Jacob didn't explain. "Go to the coastal road."
"Yes."
Based on Isabella's recent post, John easily guessed the location and quickly arrived near the restaurant.
When Avery helped the heavily drunk Isabella out, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
At first glance, she saw a tall and slender man standing on the roadside, almost blending into the darkness. She might not have noticed him if it weren't for the flickering crimson light in his hand. Isabella pushed past her and vented her anger under the street lamp, cursing loudly, "You! If I could fight you, if I were as wealthy as you, without your lackeys by your side, I'd take a cleaver today and swing it at your head..."
John quickly reached out to cover her mouth and said to Avery, "Miss Adams, let me take your friend home first."
Isabella pushed his hand away, shouting, "Hey, handsome guy! Why do you look so much like the lackey around that bastard, Jacob?"
