Chapter 56: Hercules membership card
Grey stared down at the picture on Avery’s phone It was the image of when he was speaking to her
and had his hand on her shoulders
And there were more pictures. It looks like whoever had sent the images really did a great job taking
every shot
Grey looked up at Avery and raised skeptical brows. “Is there more to the picture?” His voice was calm
and he didn’t seem bothered by it
Avery scoffed, “No. you tell me, Grey Why is Caramel your girlfriend for the party?
Grey sighed I have no idea what you are talking about because as far as I’m concerned, you gave
Caramel the permission to take me out, even without discussing it with me,” he took a step closer and
placed the phone in her hands. “I don’t really have time for this. I need to get to work as fast as
possible
Avery felt a quick rush of adrenaline and a stab of annoyance “You are not going anywhere, Grey We
are not done talking.” she complained with an expression as hard as a rock i said Caramel could take
you out because she said you knew about it and you had something to help her with Why was no one
telling me you had to be her boyfriend 1007
Grey regarded her for a moment “Why does this upset you so much?”
Avery released an exasperated sigh “I am angry because you are misbehaving You are married, yet
you go around chasing girls? Are you having a crush on my friend? Are you trying to have her as well?”
Avery ascertained that she felt totally annoyed at what was really happening

Grey sighed again “When do you start getting worked up about my love life? The last time I checked,
you cared less You even told me we aren’t married Why should you be concerned now?” He
complained
* Seriously? Does that give you the audacity to mess with my friend? She snarled “If you try any bullshit
with her?”
Grey hit his forehead slightly in frustration. He took in a deep breath and turned to look at Avery again –
Did she tell you I did bullshit with you? Why are you so concerned?”
You are my husband! That’s why! She yelled, startling Grey for a moment
Grey blinked once, then twice. “What?”
“Yes! She affirmed “You are my husband You belong to me and no one else you are not supposed to
cheat because we are in this marriage. If you are so desperate to cheal. You can assist by finalizing the
divorce,’ she opined
Grey couldn’t believe his ears. “I’m not supposed to cheat?” There was a teasing smile on his face
‘Going out also amounts 10 cheating right? Then why did you go out with Chris? You can share his bed
but I’m not allowed to do that?’ He was equally as angry, his anger matching Avery’s.
“Nor Avery yelled back, unwilling 10 succumb. “I didn’t share his bed and I definitely didn’t go out with
him I returned home yesterday after I left the company with Grandpa,” she explained in an angry tone.
Her voice was raised above normal and her face was almost as red as fury,
Grey blinked once. He didn’t even know why she was explaining to him. Though, he felt good that
nothing was going on between her and Chris
But she clearly spelled it out when they were at home There was no need for her to twist every word.
She simply told him that she didn’t want him and that they were not married
“Really?” Grey gave her a round of applause, with a smile. “Congrats. You lied to me and you won the
award,” he became sober again. “I just don’t know why you had to make such a lie. What were you
hoping to get?”
Avery huffed. “But that doesn’t give you the audacity to have a girlfriend while we are married. What if
my mother hears about this?”
Grey scoffed, unbelievably. He watched her for a moment. “Are you kidding? What will your mother
obviously say? Wasn’t she the one match-making you with Chris? Why would she think differently
about what I’ve just done? Isn’t she so incorrigible?’ He uttered in a thick voice
“What?” She exclaimed softly “How dare you speak of my mother in such a way?” She roared
Thanks to the fact that the room was soundproof or everyone would have found out what they were
really discussing in the office, a complicated topic at that.
“And so?’ He raised skeptical brows. “What did you do when she insulted me for being a useless
orphan?
Avery sighed and pulled off her suit jacket tiredly ‘I sincerely don’t believe I’m having this conversation
with you Are you trying to say that you are in a relationship with my best friend?”
Grey kept quiet There was no use talking since she seemed convinced already
“I don’t care what you think, and I’m telling you exactly what you told me. I have to go now. I’m in the
middle of a serious business,” he excused himself quickly
Avery got even agitated.” Come back here, Grey! Don’t you dare leavel” She ordered but Grey was

She didn’t want to follow him because it would look weird as she held an important position in the
company but she couldn’t stop feeling so annoyed She yelled several times to calm down
Grey rushed out of the company angrily. He wondered, however, who could have taken the pictures
As he got inside the car, he placed a call to Caramel and she picked it up immediately.
“Hi, Grey, her lively voice boomed
“Hi, Caramel Have you gotten through with your friend? Someone gave us off and sent some pictures
of us to her. Now, she thinks I’m in a relationship with you,” he explained
Caramelsighed. “I will speak with her immediately,” she assured and the line went off
The time flew so fast that Grey hated it. He didn’t want to go home yet. He didn’t even want to enter
another argument with Avery
Instead, he drove straight to his house
This time, he made sure he wasn’t followed. He got down, locked his door and his gaze searched
around again before he went inside the house
He decided to use the opportunity to check what was in the files
He look one and realized that it consists of different cards, which Charles told him held a significant
amount of money. It looked like his father was busy making his future life easier.
The second file actually contained his father’s card. He rubbed on the card and wished his father could
still be alive He missed him so much.
The last file held just two cards. It held two black membership cards of Hercules
One had an inscription of ‘Hercules’ on it while the other held his name in bold letters. ‘GREY FOX
