CHAPTER 251
Chapter 251: Decided
“You have to speak to your daughter!
Because I don’t understand what is wrong with her!” Emma expressed angrily.
Avery sighed. “Mom, you can’t force me to do things.”
Benjamin looked at Avery. “Avery, your mother wants the best for you. You have
to do this to make her happy.”
Avery looked at her father. “Wait, dad. Is this supposed to make her happy or
the best for me? How can I even approach him? Would it make sense that I

divorce him and I suddenly want to marry him again?” She raised her voice
slightly.
It was morning and her parents wouldn’t stop talking to her about marriage.
Victoria Skincare was getting even more popular. Fortunately, CCS was near
and it was certain that Grey would be competing with Hattie very hard. Since
Grey was getting, even more, better in business, the family excluding Lucy
wants her to marry Grey again so they could at least protect the family from
bankruptcy.
Emma huffed. “Come on, Avery. We all know how Grey was hesitating to leave
you. He would definitely want you back. There’s no way he wouldn’t want you
back.”
Avery rolled her eyes. “Mom, you aren’t telling the truth. Would dad accept you
back after you divorce him?”
“Sure,” Emma looked at Benjamin quickly and winked at him. “We actually
divorced before we got you. All the same, you are going to marry Grey because
that’s the best for you!”
Avery regarded her parents for a moment before she got up, took her phone,
and started towards the front door.
“Where are you going?” Benjamin asked quickly.
“To grandfather’s company,” she responded and walked out of the room.
Emma released a sigh. She thought Avery was finally going to follow what they
wanted.
Avery couldn’t stop thinking of her parents’ decision. Though a part of her
desperately wanted Grey back she also knew that she would never feel
comfortable in the marriage because of what she had done for him. There was
no way she would enter such a marriage again. Her dignity wouldn’t even allow
her to. She would rather leave the city and start a new business in another city.
She drove right to the LX company where she knew her grandfather would be.
Though, she knew that Emma and Benjamin would meet her in LX as they were
just at home because they wanted to talk to Avery. Emma had been disturbing
Avery about it but Avery’s mind was made up already.
Avery arrived at the company and she let out a long sigh. She had decided
earlier but she thought she could still spend some days in Jacksonville.
Her mother has shortened her stay.
Lucy was having some meetings with the shareholders when Avery arrived. She
waited for the meeting to end.
She walked inside the office the moment she realized the meeting was over.
“Grandpa, I have something to discuss with you,” she initiated the moment she
entered.
Lucy looked up at her for a moment before he resumed what he was doing on
the laptop. “How are you doing?”
“Fine but I’m planning on leaving Jacksonville.”
Lucy was shocked for a moment. He abandoned what he was doing and
gestured to the seat in front of him.”Why? Is something wrong?”
Avery sat. “I haven’t told my parents about this but I feel you should know so
that you can call Smith back. I won’t be able to take up your company as I’m
leaving and I believe Smith should be the one to correct the mistake he had
made,” she explained.
Lucy sighed. “Is that your decision?”
Avery nodded briefly. Though, she was shocked at her grandfather’s new
behavior.”
Yes, because I will not marry Grey. And I do hope you stay with my decision. I’m
going to do what I love now,” she finished, stood, and took a short how before
she walked out of the office.
Lucy let out a sigh as he watched her leave.
He admitted it was his fault. Everything that happened between her and Grey
was his fault. He shouldn’t have believed Smith over Avery. Now, Smith had
done the worst to the company and he couldn’t stop thinking about it.
“Well, Hercules isn’t around and we don’t know when he will be?” Maria told
Lawrence. Content is property © .
Lawrence sighed, disturbed already. “Must I have a face to face conversation
with him? Can’t I talk to him on the phone?”
“Well,” Maria hesitated. “Unless you speak with our supervisor.”
Lawrence nodded quickly. “That’s better than not having anyone to see. I’m sure
this is really going to benefit Hercules. My delivery company could do a lot for
Protos Pubblicita,” he expressed.
Maria nodded briefly. “Follow me then, I will lead you to the supervisor,” she
started away while Lawrence followed her.
They entered the elevator and stopped on the second floor.
Lawrence adjusted very well so that the supervisor would be able to reason his
request.
Maria walked to the door and knocked slightly before she opened the door and
led Lawrence inside.
Grey looked up and regarded Lawrence for a moment. A smile spread across
his face at who it was.
Lawrence didn’t notice Grey immediately until Maria introduced him and walked
out.
Lawrence couldn’t believe his eyes. “Grey? What are you doing here?”
Grey sat up. “I should be asking you that question. What are you doing here?”
Lawrence cleared his throat meaningfully. “I need to speak with Hercules and I
want you to set up a meeting.”
Grey’s piercing gaze was watching him as if he could read his mind. “Do you
remember what you did the last time I came over to the company and requested
my salary?”
Lawrence swallowed harder.
“Well, you should forget about it. Protos Pubblicita isn’t ready to work with you.”
Lawrence frowned immediately. “You aren’t even Hercules! How could you say
that? I demand to see Hercules at once! And it’s my right to!” He raised his voice
slightly, showing how angry he was.
Grey laughed. “Go ahead,” he muttered.
Lawrence blinked once, then twice. “What do you mean?”
“I will set up a meeting with Hercules for you but I will also be telling him some
things. Lawrence, you are used to getting intimate with your workers before you
employ them. It’s what you do but I’m not sure Hercules would be ready to work
with you after hearing all this. In fact, he might fight for those girls whose life you
have ruined,” he said I’m a thick voice.
Lawrence grew even angry. “What! How dare you threaten me!”
Grey frowned. “I’m not kidding, Lawrence.
Get out of my office!” He yelled.
Well, he was only watching Lawrence all these while but he did a lot of bad
things to him as well. He even sided with Seth to do
bad things to him and Grey wasn’t going to forgive him. There was no way he
would even allow him to work at his company.
Lawrence stood, angrier than before. “I will leave but I will show you. I promise
you, Grey! You will be fired soon! In fact, if you aren’t careful, you won’t get any
salary!” He swore and stomped out.
A message popped up on his phone suddenly and Grey looked down at it. A
smile curved. up around his mouth at what he saw.
