CHAPTER 164
Chapter 164: Traps “Stay out of it!” One of the men yelled at Avery. “We are not here for you.” Avery was more than confused. “How did you know my name? What are you doing with him? What do you want with him? We are together.” “The only thing we want is for him to leave this place right now and he should stop disturbing you. You are married.”
Avery was shocked by the bone marrow. How did the men know she was married?
One of the men turned to the others. “If he doesn’t want to leave, force him to. If he struggled with you, then deal with him,” he ordered.
Avery’s heart took on fast breathing.” You can’t do this. Who are you? And why must you threaten him? Who sent you?” She bombarded them.
The man regarded Avery for a moment.” Why should we tell you? You are going to do what we want or you will face the consequences,” he warned in a thick voice.
“Don’t worry, I will leave but tell me who sent you.” Chris urged softly.
The men went silent and the only thing Avery could do was observe them, perhaps there was something on them that would give them away.
“I will give you some money,” Chris said to Audrey.
Avery looked at Chris.” Is this alright?”
Chris nodded once, “it is.”
.
“I’m not saying!” The man said defiantly. “You! Leave now! If you don’t walk away, we will be forced to lay our hands on you as well.”
“No,” one of the men corrected.” We wouldn’t touch her. She’s the wife!”
The other man shrugged slightly.” Yes, but he did say we should touch her if she was being stubborn.”
Avery’s heart made a sudden thud in her chest at the revelation. “Wait, is the person that sent you Grey?” The men turned to look at her at the same time with surprised looks on their faces. Avery couldn’t believe her ears. It felt like she zoomed out of the world for a moment. “Hey! Who are you? I’ve called the police and they are on their way!” Smith yelled from afar and held out his phone in the air so that the men would see and believe. “What the fuck! He really called the police, we have to leave,” one of them said and hurried away.
The others raced behind him until they were out of their sight.
Shock kept Avery speechless and motionless for a moment. Did Grey really order someone to harm her? She had warned Grey several times about the dirty tricks and yet, he was doing it. She had always thought it was Smith that thinks that way.
But Grey was wicked enough to tell the men to lay hands on her if she refused to listen to them? It was at that point that Avery realized that Grey doesn’t even place her as someone important.
“Are you alright?” Chris’ arm went around her, pulling her closer to him.
Avery stared down at his arm before she nodded.
“Thank you, Smith,” Chris said, above Avery’s head, a smile on his face. It was all a plan anyways to make Avery hate Grey the more that she wouldn’t have a choice but to divorce Grey.
And the plan would keep coming until Avery decided to divorce Grey.
Meanwhile, Grey was at Beatrice’s place. After work that afternoon, she invited him for dinner again. Grey couldn’t refuse again. After eating, they sat in the lounge. “Was the production stressful?” Grey started.
Beatrice shook her head briefly. “But the recipe was kind of confusing. It wouldn’t have been easy for me if I hadn’t watched your mother make it,” she revealed. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Grey smiled.” That was why she let you keep it. She knew that I would need you.”
Beatrice nodded once, and let out a sigh. “You are right. I just wish she was alive to see her dream come true,” she lamented.
Grey pulled her closer to himself.” I wished he was alive too.” Beatrice looked at Grey. “Who?”
“Your son,” Grey smashed his lips together and imagined the pain she would have gone through If it was another person, she might have betrayed his mother, thinking she was the reason why her son was killed.
But Beatrice waited with the recipe.
“What are you saying?” Beatrice pulled away and instead pulled Grey to herself.” You are my son and I’m glad you are alive. I have some dessert. Should I bring it over?”
Grey nodded quickly.” Yes, let’s have it.”
“I will be right back then,” Beatrice announced and walked inside the house.
Grey pulled out his phone at that moment and dialed Gregory’s line.
“Hi boss,” Gregory boomed.
“Hi, I’m sorry for disturbing your sleep.”
Gregory laughed. “Who told you I was sleeping? I’m just here having fun.” Grey smiled at this.” Alright, I want to ask if you have a bus or any fancy car that we can take to the open sale. Actually, I would prefer the bus because it would be a permanent asset for us.”
Gregory thought for a moment.” I have the perfect one for you. You can send someone to pick it up tomorrow.” Grey smiled.” That’s great. Thanks. I will need a small car as well.” “No problem. Just send two people over, and I will sort it out with them.” “Alright, I will tell them to bring one of my cards as the Hercules. I’ve almost exhausted my normal card.” Gregory chuckled.” Don’t worry. I will give you a receipt under Grey Fox. So, you can claim the car as Grey and as Hercules,” he assured. “Great then, let’s talk later.”
Avery couldn’t stop thinking about the incident from earlier. She didn’t know she had become a target for Grey. “Are you alright?” Chris inquired suddenly. He was driving towards 5star for them to have dinner together.
“Yes,” she lied.
“Alright, I have something for you anyways,” he retrieved a file from the save and stretched it out to Avery.” Check them out.”
Avery took the file and pulled out some pictures from it. Her eyes went wide with shock as she stared at Grey smiling with another lady. There was another of her sitting so close to him and another of them eating together. There was one of her helping Grey with his tie. And one of him standing in front of her and touching her hair. “I don’t know if you are aware but Grey cheats on you with that lady. They go almost everywhere together. I found out that she’s Maria, the new secretary of Protos Pubblicita. Maybe he’s trying to reach higher with her,” he explained.
Avery felt pained at the news. She couldn’t stop looking at the pictures,
