Chapter 54 She Didn't Leave

Although Isabella didn't want it to be this way, Jacob's reaction just now showed that he clearly favored Layla.

In a relationship, the one who was not favored was the loser. Every word he said pierced Avery's heart. Avery couldn't tolerate any more harm.

Avery had wanted to leave early, but she changed her mind now. She casually instructed Isabella, "You brought spare clothes, right? Accompany me to the restroom to change. The banquet hasn't started yet, and it would be impolite to leave."

Isabella was a little surprised. Avery actually acted tough this time!

Even in the restroom, Isabella kept complaining, "Did you see how despicable Jacob was? I wanted to punch him so badly, and I wished I could knock open his skull. He's the worst jerk!"

Avery helplessly smiled. "You..."

"Avy, do you really want to stay and watch that lovey-dovey couple? After all, you still have feelings for him, and it's hurting you."

"Didn't you say that? There will be a day to let go. Besides, he's the one who did wrong. Why should I hide?"

Avery took the clothes bag handed by Isabella and went to the changing room. "You're right. Even if there's only one day left, I have to live for myself."

She didn't expect the clubbing outfit prepared by Isabella to be so red and revealing, showcasing her great figure.

Isabella couldn't help but gulp. "I didn't know the difference between a C cup and an A cup could be so big. This outfit looks amazing on you!"

She applied a layer of bright red lipstick for Avery. If someone else wore this outfit, it would be flashy, but Avery's temperament was perfectly suited for it. The word "pure seduction" seemed tailor-made for her. "Let's go."

Avery walked in wearing high heels, her short hair making her look even more capable and beautiful.

When she entered, everyone at the table was attracted by her. Sarah jealously snorted again and said, "Dressing like this is so attention-seeking!"

A familiar and gentle voice sounded, "Avy."

It was Nicholas, who was by Andrew's side. Did he come too?

Nicholas, like Andrew, also came from a medical family, so it wasn't surprising that Andrew invited him. Nicholas waved at Avery. "Over here."

Nicholas knew about her relationship with Jacob. This gesture was probably his well-intentioned attempt to help her out. If she refused, it would embarrass Nicholas.

Avery calmly walked towards Nicholas, ignoring Jacob's murderous gaze.

Avery sat next to Nicholas. He hadn't seen her for some days and noticed that she looked much better. Only then did he feel relieved.

While everyone was focused on complimenting Jacob, Nicholas was solely focused on Avery, continuously serving her dishes that would nourish her body.

Avery enjoyed her meal and didn't notice Jacob's gaze as she concentrated on eating.

Andrew noticed something off about Nicholas's attentive behavior. "Nic, I've never seen you care so much about any other girl. Could it be that you and Avery..."

The classmate next to them, James, was having a large abalone and said with his face full of gossip, "I heard that Avery suspended her schooling and got married secretly a few years ago. Could it be with Nic?"

For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Avery.

"Click."

Avery caught a glimpse of Jacob also putting down his fork and looking at her.
