CHAPTER 85
Chapter 85: Conspiracy Grey walked inside the room and regarded Avery for a moment. She sat in front of the mirror and was applying something to her face. She was in a white fur night robe. “I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight,” she didn’t turn around as she made the remark.
“Do you care?” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Avery eventually turned to look at him, her gaze flickered over him for a moment. “I was worried. I thought you had met with Don and something had happened.”
Grey sighed. “You sounded worried after all.”
Avery rolled her eyes.” What nonsense were you saying at the party? Why should you meddle in my business? Why must you always put yourself in trouble,”she complained.
Grey made a little smile but he didn’t move away.” Are you worried about me or yourself?”
Avery felt frustrated at his question.” Damn! Grey! I’m worried about myself. I want this position more than anyone else. In fact, this belongs to me. So, I shouldn’t hesitate if it’s coming my way. Why were you speaking to my grandfather in such a way? What if he eventually decided to have Smith as his heir?” She complained. The thought of it made her shiver. She didn’t want to get on her grandfather had side. Grey scoffed.” That’s what you think? Don’t you think anything is wrong somewhere?”
Avery raised skeptical brows.” Like what?”
Grey sighed. “That night, did you really think nothing was wrong? Didn’t you think it was weird that Smith was I’m your room that morning?” He probed.
Avery thought about it for a moment. “Why would it be weird? Smith knew I had a VIP room at that hotel. There’s nothing new in it.”
Grey nodded briefly.” What about Lucy finding out about us? Didn’t you think the time was all so accurate? As if it was planned?” Grey didn’t want to say anything about Smith, not yet but he wanted to see if she suspected anything or not.
Avery finally sighed.” I sincerely don’t know what you are driving at. I just hope you won’t meddle in my business in the future. I have the right to do whatever I

want. It’s my right and I’m having it back!” She said stubbornly. “Sure,” he moved to the bathroom. “I’m sure you are so desperate that you didn’t think of what the future might hold. Who knows, Mr. Lucy might take the position away from you after some months, and give it to his Smith.” Avery stood up, in anger. ” What are you talking about?”
Grey hesistated to spare her a glance. “You just told me not to meddle in your business and I’m going to follow your instructions. I will do all this in my way then.” He indicated with a smile. Avery’s eyes thinned on him. “What do you mean?” Grey let out an exasperated sigh. “This is my business, so don’t meddle in it,” he finished up and entered the bathroom, leaving Avery to stare behind him with a shocked expression on her face.
When Grey moved to the dining room the second day, he noticed the weird silence lingering over the place. “So, you can come to eat?” Emma attacked with teasing tone.
Well, Grey was expecting it but he just didn’t think that Emma would be the first.
Avery sighed. “Mom, not now. It’s too early,” she stressed tiredly. “Are you going to ask about Smith?” Benjamin said suddenly, disrupting the silence that was starting to stretch.” He got admitted to the hospital,” he revealed even when Grey didn’t ask him.
Grey looked up as if he was just hearing the news for the first time. “Oh, ok,” he nodded briefly and resumed eating. Emma scoffed. “That’s what you are going to say?”
Grey looked up at her. “What was I supposed to say? He got some men to beat me up and got beaten instead. He got what he deserved. In fact, he doesn’t deserve to be pitied,” he felt angry now and he doesn’t even care if the whole Robinson sent him out.
“He’s right. I should have stopped Smith,” Lucy muttered suddenly. Everyone was amazed with what he said. “But you wouldn’t,” Grey retaliated and looked at Lucy.” Because you trusted Smith so much that you thought he was doing the right thing, especially because of Avery. If you were as close to Avery as I’ve heard, then you wouldn’t push her off without giving her a chance to explain herself.” He voiced painfully.
Avery looked over at Grey. “What are you doing?” She screamed. Though, she knew that there was suddenly a distance between her and her grandfather but she believed it was Grey. Everything started falling apart after she met him. That was why she was always attacking him. Grey looked at Avery. “You are right, I should mind my business and I’m going to do that,” he stood up, grabbed his briefcase, and left the room. He placed a call to Jane as he got inside the car. “Hello, Jane.”
“Hello sir, good morning,” Jane’s excited voice came over the line. “Yes, good morning. We will be mending our contract with L.N company. We are still going to request Avery Robinson as the head of the team and no Smith Robinson. The moment he joins, the contract will be called off with immediate effect and no second chance.”
“Alright, I will send this over sir.” “Nice, have a nice day ahead,” and he hung up. He was going to mess Smith up everywhere that he wouldn’t know what had hit him.
Smith was seriously going to regret what he did that night, though he was going to start with him after he was done with Seth.
Chris pulled up in front of WW Products Company. The CEO was his old friend and the last time they were together, he spoke about getting some supplies from SU world. Since Grey worked at SU world, he could make them kick him out. Boom, Grey would be in the street again, very poor, maybe he would go back to being a delivery man just as he had heard from Smith.
He wondered however how Avery came across him.
“Chris!” Jason laughed and spread his arms to hug Chris. He was much older. Chris hugged him back with a smile. “How have you been, Jason?” Jason pulled back. “Here! You chose to forget me!” Chris laughed. “Just busy. We could hang out later if your wife wouldn’t blast my head.”
Jason laughed at his joke.” I could bring her along to avoid that.” They both burst out laughing.
“What can I get you? And why are you really here?”
Chris smirked. “I’m here to chit chat actually but there’s a matter I need to settle before anything else.”
Jason nodded once, giving him full attention.” What’s it about?”
“I know you have a contract with SU world, right?”
Jason nodded once.” They are supposed to deliver today.” Chris smiled at this. “Right.”
