Chapter 145: Revenge box Smith was going through some files at LX corporation when a soft knock
sounded on his door. “Yes, come in,” he didn’t look up as he invited whoesver was on the other side of
the door.
The door opened and Smith’s assistant walked inside. “We’ve received a message from Protos
Pubblicita about a change of staff,” she revealed.
Smith looked up eventually.” A change of staff? Who can that be?”
“Jane, sir. She has been dismissed from her position.”
Smith’s eyes went wide with shock.” Just like that?”
Well, changing and dismissing was the easiest thing in business.
“Yes sir but the new secretary wants us to meet by tomorrow. Hopefully, another shoot would come up
in three days later, depending on how fast the new secretary is,” she informed.
Smith nodded once as he thought about it. Jane was uncontrollable for him and he wondered if the new
secretary would be the same.
Well, he was determined to try his luck with her. The new secretary might cooperate with him and that
would mean a lot of success for him.
Emma couldn’t stop thinking about how everything crashed down for her. That aside, she needed to
think of a way to explain it to her father. She knew that grandpa Lucy would be so mad at her. So, she
didn’t go home or work, she took a ride from home to her private home in the city.

leaving the house by the end of the month.
Everything was just shattered. Her phone rang suddenly, jerking her out of her thoughts. It was
Benjamin but she didn’t want to pick it up just yet. Well, she knew what he was going to talk about and
she wasn’t ready for it.
Margaret walked closer to her. “Hi ma’am, Nova is here to see you.” Emma felt a sudden surge of
anger.” Let her in.” Margaret bowed slightly and walked away.
She soon advanced again, but this time with Nora. Nora, who didn’t know what had happened, was
smiling,
Actually, Emma promised to pay her the rest of the money that day and that was what Nora came for.
“Good day, ma’am.”
Emma turned to look at her, with a dark frown on her face, “Now tell me what is so good with the day?”
Nora stared at her, shocked.” Is something wrong?” “No, you tell me if what you did was right. Why did
you tell Grey about the plan?”
Nora shrugged slightly.” It doesn’t matter as long as your work is successful, does it?” She was still
confused. “Just shut the heck up! Didn’t you know that Grey was recording you? And he used it against
me! Do you even know the heck of what you have done?” She yelled at her.
Nora blinked once, then twice. How on Earth would she have thought that Grey was recording her?
She didn’t even think in that direction. “But_,” she started but Emma shut her up with a wave of her
hand. “I’m not interested! I don’t even want to hear anything from you. All I want is for you to pay me
my money. If you don’t do that, you will have to face the consequences!” She threatened and walked
away.
Nora collapsed, unable to stand it again. Everything fell apart again and it was because she was
against Grey. Unconsciously, tears streamed down her face. She felt very regretful now. She knew it
was going to turn out that a way but she let Tracy push her towards committing another crime against
Grey. There was nothing she could do now. It was all done. How was she going to find money to pay
Mrs. Robinson? How was she going to survive? If only she had listened to Grey, maybe he would have
been able to help her but she ruined the chances.
Grey hesitated briefly and wondered if letting Maria know he was Hercules was the best. But he had to
give kudos to her. Maria was really very intelligent. She matched the pieces together real fast.
Though, he knew that she would be a very nice asset to him. He needed as many followers as he could
get anyways since he was still going to keep pretending. Grey’s phone rang suddenly, jerking him out
of his thoughts. It was Alfred. “Hello, Grey.” “Hi, Alfred. Is everything alright?” “Sure. I only wanted to
inform you that the elders have agreed to see tomorrow. Aphrodite is back but she would be leaving
soon. We should meet as early as we can, in case we might want to meet again before she leaves,” he
explained. Grey nodded once.” That’s great. Where are we meeting and what time have you guys
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdecided on?”
“Your hotel and suites, Hercules. In fact, we are meeting in your father’s private suite. It’s yours now
anyways.” Grey smiled.” Right. You may send me the time so I won’t forget about it.” “Alright, I will do
that.”. Alfred barely hung up when Grey’s phone started ringing again. This time, it was Jimmy. Jimmy
calling at that time only meant one thing, there was an update already. “Hello Boss,” Jimmy boomed.
“Yes, is everything alright?” “Yes but Hattie just arrived at the airport,” he announced. “Giovanni’s
closest guard went to the airport to pick her up. The news is all over social media,” he revealed.
” Nice, this is great,” Grey went silent for a moment, as he thought about something. “When is the next
auction day?”
“Give me a moment please,” he hinted and suddenly, Grey could hear the computer trilling. “Boss,
tomorrow,” he supplied.
Grey smiled at this.” Good. Booked me a name under Grey Fennel. We are visiting the auction house
together tomorrow,”
“With me?” Jimmy stammered, not expecting it. Grey smiled. “Yes,” he affirmed. “I’m honored sir!” He
expressed sincerely.” Thank you so much, boss. I will prepare everything. Do you need anything else?”
“No, you are free.”
Grey was going to see who the popular Hattie was personally. The woman that killed her mother would
have to pay the price but he would make the revenge longer. He would cut her business, he would
make her suffer for it. Eventually, she would be the one to lose in the fight. And when that happens, the
revenge box would be ticked.
