Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 19: Tarnish in the image The drive back to Lucy‘s house was slow and quiet. Grey still felt

pains in his hands from having to beat fifty men. It was something he hadn‘t done for a long time. He

pulled up in front of the house and inhaled a deep breath before he got down. He walked inside the

house, slowly.

“I don‘t know if there‘s anything we can do about it then. Hopefully, we should wish that Ken would talk

to Alfred, perhaps he could help,” Benjamin muttered.

“We need to have the King‘s Corp support if we want to do this. Perhaps, we should ask the help of

foxgreen holdings,” Emma suggested.

“No mom! There‘s no fucking way we will try to meet Hercules. No one has ever seen him,” Avery

argued.

“Perhaps Chris would help us then,” Emma said finally, with a hint of defeat. “Well, I will gladly finalize

your marriage. What has Grey done for us anyway?” She sneered.

Grey walked inside, wondering what was really happening. From what he heard, it seemed like Avery‘s

company was having issues.

“Greetings,” he greeted and everyone‘s gaze turned towards him. “Oh seriously!” Emma barked.

“Greetings to you too Grey!” She yelled.” Right timing!”

Grey looked over to Avery for a hint of what was happening. Avery sighed and looked away.

“Did I do something wrong?” Grey asked, skeptical. Benjamin took his phone from the table and

pressed some buttons before he stretched it out. Grey moved closer and took the phone from him. He

stared with eyes gone gobsmacked. The video was about him in the restaurant while he was beating

the other man for disgracing him.

Realization dawned on him. It was at that time that he knew why they were being hostile to him again.

“I can explain_,” he started but Emma cut him off. “Explain what? That you couldn‘t pay for the meal

and you had to embarrass the young man to get away with it?” She raised known brows at him and

dared for him to argue. “Why did you even go there in the first place? I thought you said you wanted to

look for a job? “Avery asked suddenly, pained.

The video didn‘t capture Caramel and he didn‘t want to talk about her. He didn‘t want anything that

would upset Avery the more. “I don‘t believe we allowed you into this house, only to disgrace us,”

Benjamin said sadly.” How could the husband of Avery Robinson be caught behaving like thugs!” He

spat with disgust.

“This video didn‘t capture it all. This man embarrassed me, I was with a_,” he stopped suddenly as he

remembered that he didn‘t want to talk about Caramel. He didn‘t want to add salt to injury.

“With who?” Avery required and held his gaze.

He sighed, unable to proceed. “I knew it! This guy is a filthy liar!” Emma yelled again. “He came here to

brag and bluff but went ahead to steal from this young man. He‘s so incorrigible!” She contended and

looked over at Benjamin.” Is this seriously who we want our daughter to spend her life with? When are

there more prominent men out there?” She shook her head in disgrace.

“Damn! This video has gone viral! What are you going to do about it?” Benjamin required.

Grey sighed but didn‘t say a word, he didn‘t even know what he was supposed to say.

“I‘m sorry but he deserved it.”

Emma lurched forward quickly and slapped him. “You better shut up while I‘m still asking you nicely.

You better do it! You went ahead to disgrace the whole of Robinson and you want to tell me you are

right in what you did?” She raised a questioning brow.” And we are supposed to welcome you with

hugs in congrat on the achievement?” She was fuming in rage.

“You don‘t have a job and you have never thought of helping this family. What you could think of was

bringing disgrace here?” She barked.

” Emma, please stop,” Benjamin called her to a stop. Emma turned towards Benjamin again.“I need to

talk to my father. He wouldn‘t do this to me! Thank goddess the two aren‘t really married. We are going

to stop it!”

Benjamin sighed, frustrated.” You do know how your father can be. He might not want to back off.

Emma shook slightly.” I‘m going to convince him that this Grey isn‘t the right one for her. Chris is and

he will be the one to marry my daughter.”

Avery looked up quickly at her mother. “Mom! I haven‘t given my permission for that!” She protested.

Emma looked at her and shrugged slightly. “You don‘t need to do it. I‘m your mother and I know what‘s

best for you. There‘s nothing Grey will give you in this marriage except pains and I‘m sure you don‘t

want that. That aside, you need to help your company. Without Chris, you won‘t be able to revive your

company.” “But mom, I will speak with Alfred. He should be able to help me,” Avery pleaded with

optimism.” But I don‘t want to be with Chris.”

Emma held her hands around her waist.” So, would you rather be with Grey?”

“No!” Avery said quickly.” I don‘t want any of them.“. “What do you need Alfred‘s help for?” Grey asked

out of nowhere, curious about what the problem was.

” Avery needs help in terms of money to revive her company. Most of the shareholders have backed

up,” Benjamin explained.

” Why are you explaining to him! Is there anything he can do other than fight like he did in the video?”

Emma insulted him further and walked closer to him.” Just know that your days as my daughter‘s

husband is numbered. You won‘t get your deal with her! She will be getting married to Steve!” She

yelled finally before she stormed inside. Benjamin took his phone from Grey and walked after her. Grey

sighed and looked at Avery. “How much do you need?” “Partnering with P.K would be just fine but

Alfred doesn‘t want that because it wouldn‘t really benefit him.”

Grey sighed.” I will help you.” Avery looked up slowly.” Do you know that I hate you so very much?

Now, you‘ve tarnished my image in front of my friends and I hate you even more!” She stood.” And stop

bluffing! Stop pretending you can do anything because you can‘t. You couldn‘t even afford a suit before

I met you. And I want right now for you to leave my life.” “But_,” Grey started again. “Say more words

and I will call thugs to deal with you!” She threatened.” Since fighting is your hobby, I might help you

tonight.“
