Chapter 140: Payback time All gazes automatically turned towards Emma, except for Grey who
continued to eat.
“Emma?” Benjamin called softly, unable to believe what he had heard. “Mom, did you sincerely tell
Nora to seduce Grey?” Avery was just too shocked. She knew that her mother was desperate but she
didn’t at all believe she would go to such length
Emma swallowed harder and seeing Lucy’s expression, she got up and left in a hurry. She didn’t even
know how she was supposed to explain.
Lucy looked over to Grey. “So, you’ve never cheated?”
“No,” Grey admitted with a smile.
Lucy shook his head. Somehow, he was starting to see Grey in another light. Well, after the truth he
discovered at the ring store, he couldn’t help but admire him a little.
Avery was caught between her mother’s nonchalant attitude and her grandfather’s weird behavior.
However, she felt relieved that Grey didn’t cheat on her.
Lucy was acting so kind to Grey which was very strange. Even Smith noticed but he concluded at the
fact that Lucy might be having mood swings.
Grey drove right to Protos Pubblicita. His phone rang suddenly and it was Jane. Jane again? Grey
knew instantly what she was going to talk about. And well, he still had the other joker card to play..
“Good morning boss.”
“Morning. Is there anything you want to tell me this morning?” Grey asked in a voice that showed he
wasn’t interested in whatever she was planning to tell him.

“Yes, sir. I found out that Grey has been taking the company fund for himself,” she lied. Grey almost
burst into laughter.
He couldn’t believe that Jane found the best lie to use against Grey.
“Wait, are you sure that your source is right? Where did you get all this evidence?
“Well sir, like I’ve said I have someone telling me everything that happens at SU
world,” she confessed.” I just actually was concerned and I didn’t want you to trust the wrong person.
Grey seemed like the wrong person,” she declared.
Grey raised confused brows, a smile dancing on his face. To Jane, Grey was the wrong person but she
wasn’t the wrong person even though she was very close with Giovanni. To her, that didn’t mean
anything.
“Tell me Jane, who is helping you and I will elevate you,” Grey proposed. Jane went silent for a minute
and Grey knew she was quickly considering the offer. She suddenly let out a sigh. “It’s Tina,” She
revealed. Shock spread across Grey’s face suddenly. Tina didn’t act like a spy and he didn’t even think
in her direction. That reminded him that he needed a lot of work to point out who the spy was among
them. In fact, the person betraying them might be the closest. But as far as he was concerned, there
weren’t any spies among the people he knew currently. If there was, then Grey would have been in
danger. “Will you do something about Grey, boss?” She remembered, bringing Grey back to the
mundane one with a thud.
“Sure,” he nodded briefly, and slightly. “In fact, I’m going to do something about it this morning.”
“Grey, Boss. This is superb.” “Wait for it, Jane. You will be very surprised to find out what the outcome
would be,” he assured her before he hung up. Well, Jane would definitely be surprised at what he was
about to do. Grey found a perfect place to park his car. Just as he was about to drive in, a car pulled
into his desired place, bashing Grey’s car slightly. Grey felt annoyed by the action and it looked like the
intruder did it intentionally. Well, there was no way he wouldn’t have seen that Grey was about to park
in space.
The car door opened and David got down, dressed in a navy blue suit.
Grey got down, amazed. He wondered why David was at Protos Pubblicita. For business or
employment opportunities? He knew how rich David was when they were in school. And he might not
be as rich as Hercules but he was still loaded. In fact, Cindy had always been crushing on him because
he was rich. “You again!” There was this malicious look on his face. Grey let out a sigh. “What you did
was wrong. Why would you be so cunning? I owned the space!”
David smirked. “Well, I’ve parked my car and there’s nothing you can do about it.
“Seriously? You think?” “No, I know. You didn’t think that you were something important because of
what happened at the boutique? Well, don’t misbehave here. I am someone quite important and I can
do and undo you,” he warned. Grey stared for a moment, shocked.” What do you mean? You work
here?”
David smiled, pleased. ” Yes, I am the creative manager.”
Grey’s mouth dropped open in shock. David was working for him and he didn’t realize it earlier.
“Anyways, you are going to pay for bashing my car,” he said suddenly, just as he was about to enter
the company. “Are you kidding me? You bashed my car!” Grey pointed out in anger. David waved his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcar in disdain.” Who cares. I have no time for dilly-dallying. Till next time,” he finished up and walked
inside. Grey made a quick calculation. He was up for revenge recently and would definitely make David
pay as well. Whoever looked down on him at that moment or before he got back his inheritance, would
have to pay the price. He went back to his car and drove past the car until he found a nice place to park
his car.
Grey walked inside the company and moved towards the lady in the lobby. “Hello, may you show me to
Miss Jane’s office?”
The lady regarded him for a moment. “Do you have an appointment with you?” “Just tell her that I’m
here with something from Hercules,” Grey said instead. The lady’s eyes went wide with shock. She
knew that Hercules owned the company. Well, everyone does.
“She said you could come in. Take the second elevator you see. Her office is on the ninth floor,” she
explained. Somehow, Grey recognized her as the lady that misled him the first time he came to Protos
Pubblicita. Now that she heard he was from Hercules, she was trying to act as if it wasn’t what she
does.
“So, what’s your name?” Grey probed in.
The lady smiled, maybe she thought that Grey was going to make advances on her.
“Violet.”
“Oh, I remember you. You were the lady that misled me the first time I came here in the first place.”
Violet’s eyes went wide with shock and her heart almost stopped breathing. She didn’t even remember
Grey as she had done the same thing for a lot of new workers. It was a way she had fun.
Grey smiled. “Just know that you’ve lost your job already, Violet,” he revealed suddenly, shocking
Violet.
