CHAPTER 182
Chapter 182: The truth
Avery called Chris when she was on her way and Chris was so happy that Avery was coming over. In fact, he thought that Avery was ready to accept his proposal.
When he knew he had her cornered already. He did literally everything for her and even her useless husband was gone for good.
Though, Chris had no intention of making their marriage permanent. He just lusted after Avery and had been feeling so down because Avery had rejected his advance.
A couple of sex would do the trick and he would find a way to divorce her. He and his four friends contributed 5 million dollars each to the quest.
If he won Avery over, he would get 25 million dollars for himself. So, everything was just a game. Well, there was nothing else he could do, or what would Avery do if she discovered that most of the things he gave her were imitations? Divorce was the easiest. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Avery, welcome,” he walked her inside and gestured to a sofa, a wide smile on his face.
Avery wore a dark frown as she sat. “I’m not here to sit and have fun. I came here to confirm something.”
It was at this point that Chris discovered the expression she was giving. “Yes, what’s it?”
“I spoke with Smith and he told me something but I want you to confirm it. Is it really true?” Avery didn’t want to give Chris the space to lie. She was determined to hear the truth.
Chris cleared his throat meaningfully and raised skeptical brows at her. “What do you mean?” “Did you really plan to get me to divorce Grey? Was it all staged?” Chris huffed.” What type of question is this?
You divorced Grey, what does that have to do with me?”
Avery gave him a long stare.” Smith told me everything, you don’t need to lie again.”
Chris observed her for a moment and saw the look she was giving off. He cursed underneath his breath and looked away. He had never thought that Smith would betray him. Well, he knew Smith was a fool like Seth but he didn’t know to what extent he was.
“That’s why you are here?”
“So, you did it? What type of lies did you make up?” Chris looked at her again.” Grey isn’t meant for you, you should forget about him.”
“And is it up to you to decide for me? Why would you meddle in something like that?” Avery was starting to feel even more frustrated.
She had wondered why Smith was suddenly siding with Smith. Well, it was because they were planning something bad together. “Calm down, Avery. I’m the right one for you, you know this.” “Maybe I do. Tell me all you did,” Avery said softly, Chris sighed.” It doesn’t matter. He’s gone for good. We can get married now. Where do you
want to go on your honeymoon? I would take you everywhere and anywhere,” he announced. Avery ignored his rantings.” What did you do, Chris? I want to know everything.” Chris sighed again.” I sincerely don’t know why you are asking all these questions. It doesn’t even matter.”
Avery stood up.” It’s ok if you won’t tell me. Smith would do that anyways,” she turned to leave. She had barely turned the knob when Chris’s voice came from behind, the word shocking Avery. “Well, Smith came up with the idea and I just say he was only acting in your best interest. I mean I can give you anything you want.” Avery shook her head briefly. “You lied about the lady you saw with Grey? You didn’t even know who she was to him?” Avery didn’t wait for him to talk before she hurried out. When
she got inside the car, she placed a call to Smith. Somehow, she couldn’t rule out the fact that there was something Chris was hiding from her. “What do you want now, Avery?” Smith’s cold voice boomed. ” Chris said you planned the whole thing. Is that right? Did you really talk Chris into all this?” Avery yelled at him.
Smith was shocked for a moment.” What! That’s not true! What! He told you that?” He couldn’t believe that Chris was putting the whole blame on him because he thought Avery might come back to him. “I will tell you the truth then since he just acted like a fool that he is.”
Avery waited. “Well, I agreed that I decided to ruin Grey’s open sale but it was Chris that brought up the idea of taking a picture of him and the secretary. Well, we both know that these two aren’t dating,” he revealed.
Avery felt her head fly off. ” And that wasn’t all. Chris pretended to be sick and intentionally angered Grey so that he would punch him and he would use it against him.” Avery couldn’t believe her ears, she couldn’t even believe what she was hearing. She couldn’t talk, shock kept her motionless and speechless.
“And lastly, he paid some thugs to attack you guys, while also pretending it was Grey that sent them.”
It was at this point that Avery couldn’t continue to be silent. “You mean Grey didn’t know anything about it? Chris actually sent the men?” “‘Yes! That’s what 1” He didn’t finish as Avery hung up and smashed the phone against the screen of the car. She was so angry and was seething, with rage, She thought it was really Grey but it turned out that Chris had only tricked her into divorcing him.
Avery opened the door and hurried toward Chris’ house. She opened the door and met him at the same spot, though at the sound of the door, he raised his head to look at her,
A smile spreads across his face, as he beholds Avery. He must have thought that Avery had come back to accept him.
“You will get a contract termination tomorrow morning. We will be terminating all the contracts we signed. LN corporation is not going to work with you again,” she finished and didn’t even wait for shocked Chris to say a word before she hurried out of the house.
She wasn’t only feeling guilty, she was feeling very sad. She had never felt so sad in her entire
life.
She got inside the car and turned around as if going towards Grey’s former house, the one she knew he lived in before he moved into her family house but stopped suddenly. It was wrong that she would want to see Grey after all she had done. Even though that was exactly what she wanted.
How was she going to face Grey despite how she had treated him even to the last moment? What other things have Smith lied to her about?
The whole thing wasn’t even Grey’s fault but her family’s lack of trust and lust for power. But Avery had always blamed the innocent man. It was at that moment she realized it. That she loved Grey Fox.
