CHAPTER 135
Chapter 135: Lies Avery stared at the bag of money for a moment, with brows drawn together.
A soft knock sounded on the door and Avery rushed forward. She opened the door and let Chloe inside.
“Thanks for coming,” she made sure that the door was locked so that no one would be able to enter.
Chloe regarded her for a moment. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Avery sighed and moved to sit. “I told you about Thomas? Thomas wanted to date me but I disagreed. Then, he pulled back. He used to be one of our wealthy investors,” she explained.
Chloe gathered her brows.” And why did you reject him? I mean, isn’t he better than Grey? At least, he’s rich. Grey has nothing. I wouldn’t leave someone like Thomas for Grey,” she declared.
Avery thought for a moment.” That’s because you don’t know who Thomas really is. He’s the most selfish man I have ever known. I can’t fall for someone like him. There’s absolutely no way things would work well for us both,” she revealed.
Chloe hissed. “Grey has a bad attitude but you guys are still together. Are you sure you haven’t fallen in love with him?”
Avery’s eyes went wide with shock.” Why will you even say something like that? I’m not in love with Grey! How can I be!” She yelled in anger.
Chloe watched her for a moment.” It’s just an accusation, you shouldn’t be raising your voice so high!” She complained. She sounded enraged as well.
Avery let out an exasperated sigh. “That just came as a shock. There’s no way I would fall for Grey,” she bawled and tried to breathe properly.
She didn’t even know why her heart skipped a beat at his name but she knew that it was never a sign of love.
“Anyways, so can we continue the story or is that why you called me over?” Chloe pointed out.
Avery let out a sigh. “Well, LN is suddenly in need of money. That was what I was trying to ask you the other day at home. I’ve been thinking of how to save LN. I didn’t want to tell Grandpa because I was scared. What if he takes the company from me again?” She hinted. Chloe sighed.” How much do you need?”
“I needed six million dollars to work on the project at hand. I will get a lot in return after the project,” she revealed.
Chloe inclined her head aside as she gave it a thought. “I have just two million dollars to spare. How will you get the rest?” She asked, concerned.” Perhaps you can ask from Caramel.”
Avery hissed and looked away. “I don’t want to hear her name Well, that wasn’t why I called you,” she looked over at Chloe. “I suddenly received this bag this morning from anonymous. And guess what? It contained the exact money I needed. Sux million dollars!” She announced with a bit of excitement.
Chloe blinked once, then twice. “What! Did you ask anyone?”
Avery thought for a moment.” Actually, I wanted to ask Chris but I decided against it immediately.”
Chloe raised skeptical brows.” Chris? The guy that got you the 50 million dollars worth of ring? And the one that gave grandfather Lucy millions dollars worth of wristwatch?” She asked, skeptically
Avery nodded quickly.” Yes, that’s Chris.” Chloe smiled softly. “He’s really rich. He could have been the one. Was there no note or other thing?”
Avery stood up quickly and retrieved a small note from the table. “Only this but I couldn’t make anything from it. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. I don’t know if I was supposed to call Chris or not,” slie stretched out the note.
Chloe took the note froin her and read it out. “Don’t look for me, I’m always beside you.”
She smiled. “This is clearly Chris. I mean what other evidence do you seek?”
Avery let out a sigh.” I thought as much. I had already told Chris I needed his help before I decided against it. He must have thought it was the money I needed. Though, I have no idea how he knew the exact money that I needed. That’s suspicious,” she raised skeptical brows.
Chloe laughed.” You are very funny. There are different ways he can get the information from. You will never know, a man in love will do everything to get anything.”
“So, you mean it’s Chris? But should I call and express my gratitude?” “Of course!” Chloe squealed. “And it shouldn’t be done on the phone. You should see him personally. A guy that would do something like this is a guy we should hold in high esteem. That aside, you should be thinking of a way to break up with Grey and be with Chris,” she advised.” He’s the best for you.”
Avery was really impressed. She was when she got the blue ring but she got even more impressed She knew initially that Chris was wealthy but she didn’t expect him to spend on her like he was doing. She was eventually convinced that he loved her. She decided to see Chris after work. So, she picked up her phone and dialed his number immediately
Chris picked up after the second ring, “Hello, darling.” “Hi, Chris When will you be available after work today? I would like to speak with you.” Chris hummed as he thought about it. “I’m kind of busy. Is there anything you would like to tell me?”
Avery looked at Chloe and she gave her a go-ahead signal.
“I would have loved to see you in person and thank you for the money, I got it.”
There were a few minutes of silence” What money?”
“The six million dollars,” Avery revealed.
Chris got confused. He didn’t even know what Avery was talking about. It was just like when she questioned him about the ring worth fifty million dollars.
#Thank you so much, Chris.”
Chris felt backed to a corner. And well, since he enjoyed the result, he decided to accept the responsibility
“You are welcome. If you don’t mind, we could meet tomorrow,” he proposed.
Avery was happy at this.” That will be nice.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
And again, Chris has lied. It doesn’t matter to him anyways as long as Avery ended up with
