CHAPTER 497: ABOUT GREY

Grey got down and released a sigh.

It felt good to be back in Jacksonville.

A message popped up on his phone, just as he took it from aeroplane mode.It was from Charles and he only informed him that he had arrived in Jacksonville.

Grey smiled at this and turned towards one of his men.

"Is the suite ready?" The man nodded briefly.

"Yes, boss."

The night before, Grey and Charles went through their plans again.

Grey informed him that he wasn't going to lodge in one of his hotels and suites because Giovanni and Alex could really be watching, especially with the trick they were going to play the next morning.

"What if? Just what if Alex is able to get to me?"

Charles had asked a question that hadn't come to Grey's mind.

After several minutes of thought, Grey said.

"If that happens, we will have to make sure he doesn't leave Jacksonville.We could send a letter to him, from his father or anyone.Something that would make him stay longer till we think of what to do with him.He must be around until the announcement."

"Something like that?" Aphrodite probed further.

Grey looked at her.

"He might not need to speak directly with his father.We could make him not to.We could send him a letter telling him to stay till the announcement day.Well, we all know what Giovanni plans to do for him with his newly found power.And we could state that he wasn't to contact him until the day af the announcement," he explained.

They had all nodded in agreement.

The men led Grey to the car quickly.

Grey got inside and went through his message again, sure that there was none from Charles.

According to the plan, Charles was supposed to message him if the plan fail.So, they would prepare the letter as the plan B.

If Charles hadn't messaged, it only met that things were still going fine.He placed a call, instead to Douglas, one of the special members.

Douglas picked it up after the second ring.

"Hello, Hercules."

"Hi, Douglas.I'm sorry for calling at this moment.I only wanted to ask about how far you've gone and what is the assurance that everything we discussed was going smoothly?"

"Well, it's good news, Hercules.We were able to get one more vote from the special members.The other one seemed to have finally become Giovanni's supporter,"he revealed. Grey released a sigh.

He had been bothered, especially after his discussion with Aphrodite and Charles the night before.

If the plan doesn't go accordingly, what was he supposed to do? Some things would definitely be unrepairable.

Things like Giovanni celebrating his success especially the fact that he would become one of the special members.

"Alright.Till then," he finished and hung up.

Grey smiled.He was almost close.His phone beeped suddenly.It was a message from Charles.He hasn't been caught by Alex but they've been searching everywhere for him.And he might even leave unnoticed soon.

Avery knew Chloe's schedule, that is if she hasn't changed them.But she decided to check and see.

Well, she had no choice as she lost Chloe's contact already.

There was a boutique that Chloe always visited every Saturday when Avery was still in Jacksonville.

Avery arrived at the boutique in less than thirty minutes.She hesitated before she walked inside.

One of the salespeople moved closer to Avery.

"Hello, ma'am.What would you like to get?"

Avery gave the whole place a brief scrutiny.

"Just some clothes for my size.That will be fine."

"Please, come with me," the salesperson started walking away, and Avery followed.

They walked around for some minutes, with Avery picking some clothes.She stopped walking suddenly and regarded the person in front of her.

The lady was busy speaking with another salesperson that she didn't notice Avery.

She turned towards Avery suddenly, her eyes finally met with her.

"Avery?" Avery smiled.

"Chloe!" She jubilated.

They rushed toward each other until they were in each other's arms.

"Wow! It has been a very long time.How have you been!"

Avery smiled.

"I've been fine.Do you have plans for today? Or we could talk," she offered.

"Sure! Come, let's go to my new place.I relocated several months back,"novelebook.com she announced.

Avery nodded once.

"I thought as much.Though, I lost your contact."

"Come, let's talk."

Chloe drove her car ahead while Avery followed behind.

Within minutes, they were at Chloe's new house.

Avery marveled at the inner decorations.

"Your house is beautiful."

Chloe flashed her a smile."Thank you, Avery.What type of juice would you like to go for?"

"Anyone, Chloe.Actually, I came to talk to you.I knew I would meet you at the boutique since you frequent there every Saturday."

Chloe sat beside her.

"Is everything alright?"

Avery nodded once.

"I heard about the death of Grey."

Chloe released a sigh.

"I heard too.His death came as a sad one.I wasn't expecting such a young and healthy man to die at such an age.You left Jacksonville already.How did you hear the news then?"

Avery sighed. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Actually, I was initially planning on coming back to Jacksonville.I wanted to make some amendments between me and Grey.Then, I had the news about his death and decided to stay back," she explained.

Chloe nodded once.

"I'm so happy to see you again.I thought you had finally abandoned me.I even tried to reach you too but it was to no avail." Avery nodded once.

"I know.But now that I'm here," she smiled.

"Let's do some hanging around before I return.I've missed our old lives." Chloe laughed.

"Alright but when are you leaving?"

"After the announcement day.I plan on getting investors and business partners that day." Chloe nodded once.

"Alright.That means you have a company now?" Avery nodded once.

"But I would like to ask you about Grey." Chloe sat very well.

"Alright, but what do you want to know from me that you don't know? You used to be his wife."

"I'm talking about who Grey really is."
