CHAPTER 187

Chapter 187: Shocking revelation “So, when are you getting married to Chris? What is your preparation concerning it?” Emma bombarded

Avery woke up on the other side of the bed. She had no idea how she got home or what had happened after she drove away from Chris’ house.

Her mother had been disturbing her that morning and the only thing she could feel was sadness and regrets. It wasn’t until she entered her car that she discovered it was really Grey that she saw the night before. She saw the divorce papers and knew for sure that it was over for her and Grey.

It was her fault anyways. She could have gotten the fact straight before making decisions.

“Avery!” Emma called suddenly, dragging Avery forcefully out of her thoughts.

Avery felt so horrible that morning but she still wanted to keep the company for herself. So, she managed to get herself into the company but her mother had been distracting her.

“Mom, I’ve told you that I’m not interested. I don’t want to marry Chris,” she expressed in a low voice.

“Why? He’s the best for you and I know he adores you. Why aren’t you giving him a chance?” Emma was getting very frustrated. She did great work to make her father agree to the divorce. And she couldn’t allow such stress to go to waste.

Avery looked up at her mom for a moment as she recalled all that Chris had done. It was at that moment that some pieces started to fill her head.

The day Don and his men came over to beat Grey. Chris acted as if he was powerless to help, yet he fought with Don because of her. Somehow, the words didn’t match. Chris had definitely been up to something for a long time but she didn’t even notice.

The realization of it pained her so much, to the bone but it was the end already. There was nothing she could do anymore.

“Chris isn’t who you think he is. So, it’s a no for me.”

“Wait, what? Is that your excuse? So, what was your excuse for having sex with a poor man like Grey?”

Avery felt alarmed immediately. “Mom! That was harsh! Don’t call him a poor man!”

Emma sighed, frustrated, “Alright. If you don’t want Chris, then you must have other men you can be with We have a lot of men as rich as Chris.” owns all content.

Avery grunted, “I’m not interested, mom and you can’t force me to.”

The door opened suddenly just as Emma was about to say something else “What the fuck just happened, Avery? Smith yelled, aivancing closer Avery gave hun a hard expression Somehow, after the revelation, Avery had come to hate Smith the more

He was the one that started the whole thing anyway Why did he set her up with Grey? And

why did he make them divorce?

“What is the matter?” Emma asked.

Smith ignore Emma and instead threw a magazine on the desk.

Emma picked it up but Avery wasn’t at all disturbed. “What!” she yelled suddenly and her hands shook around the magazine.

It was at this time that Avery looked at Emma. “What is it?” Emma looked at Avery. “Why didn’t anyone tell me Grey has a company? What the fuck is this?” shock was written all over her face. Avery took the

magazine from her and stared down at the written note from Hercules stating he was the second brand ambassador for Victoria Skincare.

Avery’s head flew off. How did Grey convince Hercules even when they couldn’t? Just how come Grey was moving so fast?

“How can you explain this, Avery?” Smith screamed.

Avery gave him a dirty look. “So, what does this have to do with me? Did anyone tell you I knew something about this?” she fired back.

“Fuck!” Smith cursed. “You are the head of the team! You should know that Hercules broke his terms! We had a solid agreement. He was not supposed to be an ambassador for any company except us!”

“Oh seriously?” Avery huffed. “Sincerely? So, what was I supposed to do? Prevent a meeting between Grey and Hercules?” “This is your fucking duty, Avery!” Smith yelled.

Emme turned to look at Smith, half annoyed. “You will stop this, Smith.”

Smith looked at Emma. “Or what? This is her duty. Don’t dare tell me to keep shut!” he looked over at Avery. “You will call that foolish secretary and we are having a meeting right now!”

Avery giggled. “Or what?” she decided she had heard enough. “What will you do if I refuse your order?”

Smith’s eyes thinned on her. “Don’t dare me, Avery.”

“You know what?” Avery stood. “Do your worst, Smith but I won’t be a part of it.”

“Sincerely?” Smith raised a questioning brow. “Yes, Smith. I don’t care anymore, do your worst and be ready to deal with Hercules. I sincerely don’t have the time for it again. You won’t push me again.”

Smith regarded her for a moment. “I will handle this issue, you better back off or I will report you to grandpa Lucy,” he threatened. He groaned and walked out of the room.

Emma regarded him for a moment until he was out of the room before she turned to look at Avery again. “What is this I’m hearing about Grey? How did he make Hercules become his ambassador? When did he start the company? How did he get one?” she bombarded curiously.

Avery was also lost in thoughts. She wondered how Grey went about it. That wasn’t even the most important thing. What happened was that Grey’s company would increase time

hundredfold and it would definitely affect LX corporation.

“Avery!” Emma called. Avery looked up at Emma. “What do you want from me this time? Are you asking me how he made it or why he accomplished it?”

Emma grunted inwardly. She didn’t believe that Grey could open and manage a company. “That’s a lie, Avery. There’s no way that would happen! There’s no way he would own such a company.” She took the magazine. She was going to make some findings about the company. There was no way Grey would be managing such a fast-progressing company.
