Chapter 135
Chapter 135
“If Bree’s been inside for too long, go check on her.” These were Bowen’s parting words to Zachary
While unlikely, after the Daxton incident, Bowen couldn’t afford to be careless.
Last time, he’d made it just in time, but he couldn’t count on always being that lucky.
When Zachary arrived, he found Aubree still locked in a tense standoff with Jacob.
‘He knew Alvin and the others were gone, and from the way he looked at me, he must know me. This guy is no ordinary threat, Aubree thought.
Aubree grew even more cautious, not daring to make the first move. “Sir, if you have nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” she said carefully.
Jacob wasn’t about to let Aubree leave. Without another word, he lunged for her.
Being on guard, Aubree reacted swiftly. Maybe Jacob was caught off guard, but she managed to land a perfect throw.
With a sharp over-the-shoulder move, she sent Jacob crashing hard to the ground.
Jacob, always coddled and never having suffered such humiliation, grimaced in pain, his vision swimming.
“Fuck!” he fumed. ‘I’ve never lost in the game of love before, but this little girl just got the best of me.’
Clutching his aching waist as he struggled to his feet, Jacob’s fury only hardened his resolve. He was now hell-bent on making Aubree grovel at his feet.
“She’s got quite the temper,” Jacob muttered to himself, just catching his breath when Zachary showed up right on cue.
Seeing this scene, Zachary instantly knew the red-haired guy was bad news.
Jacob clenched his jaw. He was no useless pretty boy. Even if Aubree could do some self-defense, it’d just mean putting in a little extra effort if he was on guard.
“I’m not holding it against you for hurting me just now. Do you even know who I am? I’m-” Before Jacob could finish, Zachary punched him square in the face.
He was sent flying back a foot and a half.
