Chapter 26 The Truth

Avery was speechless. She also had similar feelings. It was as if Jacob had pampered her in the past,

while he was extremely cruel now. She couldn't say that he had changed, but he only showed his

different side now.

Jacob was like this, and so did Martin.

Avery argued in a very low voice, "No matter what happened, he would not... kill people."

Jacob's fingers slowly stroked Avery's cheek, "Avy, you are so naive. Then do you think I will never

leave you?"

Such an intimate and ambiguous voice made it seem like he was still the gentle lover beside her, but

there was no tenderness in his eyes.

His words struck a chord in her heart, leaving her deeply affected. Yes, she really thought that he would

never change his heart until she saw him supporting Layla at the airport on the news. The reality

slapped her hard in the face.

Jacob continued, "You have always wanted to know the truth. I will tell you today. Martin was unwilling

to keep the child, let alone give Grace a home. The first three months are the best time to have an

abortion. On that day, they had a dispute, and he accidentally killed Grace and buried her at the bottom

of the sea."

Avery's chin was pinched so hard that it hurt. Jacob's eyes were hollow, and he said, "I only have one

sister, whom I have cherished and loved dearly since we were young. If she had not been abducted by

human traffickers, she would not have ended up like this. Do you know how tragic her death was?"

"If we hadn't left DNA in the information database, I wouldn't have even found her body, including the

already-formed child in her belly. She was so young; why did she have to end up like that?"

Avery broke away from his hands, and she was afraid that Jacob, who had lost his mind, would kill her.

Jacob was immersed in his own world. "I have fantasized about meeting her again countless times

over the years, but I would never have guessed that she and I would meet again on such an occasion. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Avy, have you ever seen a corpse that has been soaked in the sea for half a month?"

His empty eyes were filled with sadness. Avery had learned from his grandma how much he loved his

sister. He had never given up on looking for her in these years.

In the end, he said the final goodbye to her in the morgue. Avery could understand his feelings.

He had someone to care about, and she also had people she should protect.

"Since she was already a corpse when you found her, how can you conclude that the person who killed

her was my father?"

Jacob's eyes suddenly changed. He put away his sadness and became as aggressive as a wolf.

"If there is no conclusive evidence, do you think I will let go of the person who killed my sister? I buried

Grace and asked people to investigate secretly. Otherwise, I would not know that my so-called father-

in-law has so many secrets."

Avery murmured, "What secret?"

"Do you know how many women your glorious father has raised in the past ten years? Oh, I know you

want to say that he was single, and it was normal he had needs in his prime."

Avery did think so, but what Jacob said next made her jaw drop.

"The girls he raised were all about the same age as you or even younger than you. Most men like

young bodies, but no one was as cruel as him. He has had many women have abortions. Some

miserable women were unable to conceive due to too many dilations and curettages, some were

infected with gynecological diseases due to abortion at a young age, and the most unlucky ones were

those who had mental problems and jumped off the building."

Avery shook her head when she learned the truth. "No, no, my father..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jacob brushed his long arm across her cheek, took out a thick stack

of documents, and threw them in front of Avery.

"See what kind of person your respected father is."
