CHAPTER 245
Chapter 245: A comeback
“That’s not possible!” Grey said quickly.
Charles pulled to a stop in accordance with the traffic light. He looked back at Grey. “I sincerely don’t know what to tell you, Grey. It could happen and well, it might not be but we shouldn’t rule out what Mattee told us. We should treat this case as if it’s what it is.”
”
Grey grunted. “It can never happen, Charles. Caramel might be inquisitive about who I am but she would never work with Alex behind my back,” he argued.
Charles let out a sigh. ” Alright, but why didn’t she tell you that she met with Alex?”
Grey couldn’t answer. It was right, and Caramel could have done that. In fact, the other day that she said she wanted to discuss with Grey, he thought there was a matter they needed to resolve but they ended up having sex.
Grey loved Caramel, no doubt about it. In fact, he was starting to trust her so much. Was he wrong to have done that?
The rest of the drive to the suite was done in silence. Grey couldn’t stop thinking of what Charles had told him. But if he was to do as Charles had said, then he has to be thinking of what to do immediately because Alex would already know he was Hercules.
And his recent plan would fail even before it starts.
“Caramel should be taken. We should interrogate her, Charles said suddenly as they stepped inside the living room.
Grey stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Charles. “What?”
Charles nodded briefly. “We need to find out how much Alex knows. We need to know what Caramel has really done.”
“You won’t do anything to her, Charles,” Grey stressed.
#1
Yes, I won’t. I will just interrogate her.”
“I said you won’t do anything to her!” Grey yelled in anger. ” Don’t touch her, I will handle this!”
Charles felt even more annoyed. ” Are you sure you can? It feels like you are getting your personal matters into business. And it shouldn’t be meddled with. I’m going to call the elders and we can plan something_,” he pulled to a sudden stop as Grey squeezed his shirt slightly.
“You heard me, Charles!” His voice was deep and his expression darker. “Don’t you dare touch her because I will kill you if you do!” He let go of him. “Are you saying I mix personal matters with business? Then, I should have killed you when I discovered the truth. I should have killed your father! Would that show how much of an upright I am?” He yelled.
Charles couldn’t talk, he felt confused, and well, Grey was right. If Grey had killed him, he wouldn’t be in front of him advising him.
“I told you I got this! I will handle Caramel, just meet with the elders and let them know about Mattee and Francesco. As I said, I will handle Caramel.”
Charles let out a sigh. “Alright boss, I understand.”
“Good,” Grey turned away and entered the bedroom, bothered.
What if Caramel had really betrayed him? Does he have the mind to do something bad to her?
“Where’s Smith?” Lucy asked the moment he sat.
Emma sighed. “I sent your stupid nephew out of the house. He was the one that caused all these anyways.
Lucy grunted. “How are the companies?”
Emma looked at Benjamin for answers. She didn’t even know what to say. She was afraid that her father would collapse again.
“Did anyone not go to work? Avery?” Lucy looked over at Avery.
Avery shook her head briefly. “I resigned.”
“What!” Emma exclaimed.
Avery nodded briefly. ” I’m going to look for my way. And I hope you get well soon, grandfather.”
Lucy started coughing and Emma rushed to give him a glass of water.
“Dad, be careful. Don’t stress it too much!” She patted her back slightly until Lucy was relaxed.
Benjamin turned to give Avery a scolding. “Why would you say that?” Content is property © .
Avery shrugged slightly. “Because that’s the truth. Was I supposed to keep lying about it?”
“So, what’s the situation of things at LX?”
“Dad, I suggest you finish eating before we go into business. It’s really not nice seeing you cough like you did the other time,” Emma expressed and went to sit.
Lucy nodded briefly. ” It looks like you guys are avoiding the main issue. The company would definitely go bankrupt at this stage,” he lamented.
“No, father. That wouldn’t happen because Avery is getting married soon?”
Avery’s head spun so fast. “What? Mom! I didn’t plan on doing that!” She protested.
Emma nodded quickly. “Sorry, I didn’t tell you about it. I was thinking you should get back to Grey. You guys should remarry.”
Everyone was shocked for a moment. Emma had always been against Grey but somehow, she was the one currently suggesting the idea.
Benjamin regarded her wife for a moment. “Are you alright?”
Emma nodded quickly. “Do you know that Victoria Skincare is almost on the same chart as Smooth Therapy? I’m sure he would be getting the Clean and Clear Skin award (CCS).”
“Seriously?” Benjamin smiled. “Well, I knew Grey had some luck in store. You were just away against him in every way.
”
Emma pouted. “Not really. I was just concerned. I would like our daughter to marry a successful man.”
Mom, are you serious? You made me divorce Grey and you want me to remarry him?”
Emma cleared her throat meaningfully. “We need to protect the family from bankruptcy. And you are the only one that can help us.”
Avery shook her head briefly.” This is outrageous! I don’t believe you can say this! Is this supposed to be an arranged marriage? You guys won’t even listen to what I want?” She felt a stab of annoyance. She looked over at Lucy. “Is this what you want as well, grandpa?”
Lucy cleared his throat. “No. Emma should leave the girl to make her decision. This was all my fault anyways. The company was running fine before I decided to collect it from Avery and give it to Smith.”
“So, what do you decide on?” Benjamin asked. Well, I’m not going to do it! I’m not going to marry Grey!”
