Chapter 126 Being Caught in the Affair
As the door swung open, Layla was still holding Lily's hand, smiling happily. Her voice was gentle.
"Mom, we're family after all. In the future, Avy can often come to our house."
"Layla, I'm relieved that you think this way. I was afraid that you and Avy wouldn't get along."
Lily had no idea what scheme Layla was plotting. She was still dreaming of reconciling with Avery.
No one knew just how excited Layla was at this moment. On the way here, she had imagined countless
scenarios of Avery looking disheveled.
When they saw the people inside, everyone was stunned.
Even Layla's smile froze on her face.
On the sofa, the two were entangled.
Jacob took off his coat, leaving only a white shirt. Some buttons were undone, exposing a large
expanse of skin.
Compared to his usual meticulous and reserved demeanor, this disheveled and wanton appearance
was incredibly rare.
In his arms, he held a woman, and in the instant the door opened, he pressed her face into his chest.
All everyone saw was the woman's slender waist and the exposed skin of her arms, as fair as snow.
No one knew that he still had lingering feelings for his ex-wife, thinking that he was caught in an affair.
In the world of high society, this was quite common. After all, many men appeared gentlemanly, but
behind closed doors, they were no different from players.
But he was Jacob!
Over the years, there were women who tried to get close to him, but in the end, their hands and feet
were broken, and they were thrown out.
Layla was his only publicly announced fiancée, and he conveyed a strong impression of a loving and
devoted husband to the public.
So, the man known to the world as a fine gentleman was actually having an affair with another woman
at his son's first birthday party, which...
Sarah had already recognized the person he was holding as Avery, and her face darkened on the spot.
After all, Layla had also relied on Jacob as her strong support. Now, she had directly involved herself in
Jacob's affairs, and this had backfired.
Not to mention the shares, the Lee family was in jeopardy!
The most pitiable one was Layla. She had even gone to the extent of having internet celebrities start a
livestream. Initially, there were only a few thousand viewers in the stream.
But now, things took a turn for the worse as the barrage of comments exploded.
"Damn! What happened to the seafood feast? What kind of plot is this? Well, I'm just a curious
onlooker!"
"Isn't that Mr. Hill! Known in society as the epitome of self-restraint, and now he's... this is too much!"
"Although Mr. Hill's looks are unquestionable, isn't the woman he's holding not Mrs. Hill? The image I
had of him as a cool, aloof, handsome guy is now gone."
The live stream room's popularity kept skyrocketing, and the internet celebrities were in a panic. They
didn't dare to meddle in Jacob's affairs. One by one, they quickly shut down the livestream.
Quick-witted individuals had already taken screenshots of the scene, and it instantly went viral across
the internet!
The atmosphere in the room became eerily strange. Layla had never imagined that the elaborate
scheme she had worked so hard on would end up making her the laughingstock. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Not even half of her face was visible as she looked at the woman in Jacob's arms.
She thought, "Jacob, do you love her this much?
Do you love her enough to ignore our reputation and stand by her?"
Lily also recognized that the woman in his arms was Avery. For a moment, her mind was in a daze.
She had only returned not long ago and didn't know about any grudges or entanglements between
Avery and Jacob. All she knew was that she was Jacob's ex-wife, a subject everyone avoided.
She had thought that Jacob must detest Avery to the core, but it didn't seem so now.
Those who were hoping for a spectacle had various expressions at this moment.
Those looking at Layla had sympathy, mockery, and pity in their eyes.
