Chapter 159: Too far The great news about the auction was that Hattie and Giovanni didn’t even know
who he was, which meant that the spy hadn’t seen anything.
Though, he was concerned about finding out who Pablo was. He needed to do it quickly before the spy
found out about his identity.
Grey made a mental list of people that knew about his identity to see if there was a spy among them.
It turned out that Charles wasn’t working against him, though he desperately wanted to see if he was
really working with his father. Maybe he planned to take over his estate because he didn’t say anything.
Anyways, Don and Richard were loyal, including Maria. That aside, it turned out that Audrey’s previous
men were also loyal.
So, the spy was still far from reach.
“I’m sorry father,” Emma whispered. “I thought I could test him and see what he would do. Actually, the
lady told me that he fell for it. She didn’t tell me that she had initially explained to him which meant he
would have fallen into the trap if Nora had not explained it to him.”
“Seriously? That’s what you think?” Lucy repeated, a bit angry over it.
Emma nodded briefly. “I mean Grey doesn’t even look like the type of guy that wouldn’t hang out with
girls behind their wife’s back.”
“Well, he doesn’t. That’s a fact,” Smith said suddenly, raising his head.” Did you hear what he did to Chris
two days ago?”
That morning, as usual, Grey Fox left home very early and decided to eat out.
“What happened?” Emma was suddenly interested. Actually, it was the first time she was so interested in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething that Smith was saying. Maybe it was because Smith was trying to divert the attention from her
and she was grateful for it.
For Smith, he knew exactly what he was doing. If Avery was married to Chris, she wouldn’t have to
disturb him with operating the company.
“He punched Chris twice on the face and drew blood. Meanwhile, Chris was suffering from some
ailments, and the punches just kind of weakened him,” Smith explained.
“Smith, don’t stress it like that.” Avery corrected.
“Seriously?” Smith raised skeptical brows at her. “Till when will you continue to defend him? Till when he
commits murder?”
“He’s right, Avery!” Emma affirmed.” That was why I wanted you two to divorce. He’s just so impatient
and he’s even unemployed. He’s always leaving one job for another without getting paid. He’s really
always not serious,” she acknowledged. “Yes, I think it’s high time you guys separate,” Smith added
quickly. Emma nudged Benjamin slightly. Benjamin looked up and cleared his throat. “Yes, your mother is
right.”
“Don’t tell me you did a family meeting over Grey in my absence?” Lucy boomed. “No, uncle. I will never
do that,” Smith jibed. “I’m just talking based on what’s happening.” “You don’t have the right to tell her to
divorce. This had to be between her and Grey,” Lucy announced.
“But dad_”Emma started but was cut off by Lucy
“I won’t hear any other thing from you, especially you Emma.” Lucy expressed thickly in a voice that left
no room for another word.
“So, the shoot has progressed,” Maria announced just as Grey stepped inside the exquisite hall they
were using for the photo shoot.
Grey nodded once. “I’m glad, thank you for your hard work.” Maria nodded. “Would you like to have
something?”
“Yes, any refreshments. Is Mary here?”
Maria nodded. “I made it compulsory for her to come. She’s your assistant after all.” “Then let her send
the refreshments over. I will be in the room. Then, I will join you later when I’m done,” he informed and
turned around to enter the private room.
“Grey?” A deep voice boomed. “Or are my eyes playing tricks on you?”
Grey whirled around to look at David. He slowly released a sigh.” What do you what, David?” “What are
you doing here?” David asked, ignoring his question.
“My company is Victoria Skincare.”
David raised skeptical brows at him, “Wait, are you the manager or the secretary of VSC?”
Grey smirked. “You should see a doctor if you have an ear problem. I just said I’m the owner, the CEO of
the company that you are shooting for.”
David looked shocked for a moment.” How did you get the money to pay for Protos Pubblicita? Did you
win the lottery or what? Referral bonuses?”
Grey stared at him for a moment and turned to leave but David pulled him so that he would be forced to
look at him.
“Don’t ever leave while I’m still talking, that’s called rude. You do know that I can stop this shoot? And
prevent others from taking up the job? Your company would eventually go down the drain without proper
promotion. Perhaps, you will go from house to house to create awareness,” He laughed.” You might
dress funny so that people wouldn’t be bored,” he laughed again
Grey yanked his hand away from him.” Don’t pass your boundary, David, I can make or destroy you.”
David hesitated for a moment and suddenly burst into another round of laughter. “Seriously? How?” He
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecame sober immediately. “The game is on, then. I will show you what I can do. Do whatever you can
as well. We will know who the boss really is.”
He finished and walked away, still laughing. Grey regarded him for a moment. He didn’t even have his
time. If he does, would David still be working at Protos Pubblicita? But if David does anything wrong, he
would surely pay the price. Grey entered the room. Just as he was about to sit, the door opened and
Mary walked in. “Here, “he placed a tray of fruit juice with a wine cup on the table in front of him. There
were also cakes on it. “Do you need anything else?” Grey shook his head. “This is fine. I will call you if I
need you,” he assured and watched Mary walk out of the room.
He relaxed back while taking the cakes and juice. It didn’t take up to thirty minutes when a soft knock
sounded on the door.
“Yes,” Grey urged.
The door opened and Maria walked in. “Boss, there’s a problem.”
Grey regarded her for a moment. “What is it?”
Maria released a sigh. “The first shot we had is gone and Aphrodite refused to start all over and
demanded to see you.”
“What?” It seemed as though Grey didn’t hear it clearly.” What do you mean by the first shoot is gone?”
“I mean the pictures, it’s cleared. We didn’t even know what happened with the memory card. It looked
as though someone actually deleted it or perhaps it had viruses. Anyways, Aphrodite refused to start all
over.” Grey smirked, his fists clenching behind him. He knew who did him evil. It was no one but David.
