“You can’t leave like this, Avery! You can’t pretend as if you don’t know what’s really happening!” Smith yelled all of a sudden.
Avery gave him a dirty glare.” What do you want me to do? What the fuck did you what me to say?” Her tone matched Smith’s. She was so angry, in fact much more than angry.
She found out that Smith planned to ruin Grey’s open sale. Even though she was going to divorce him, she didn’t support what Smith did.
She knew why he did it anyway. It was because Smith was so obsessed with the LX corporation. Somehow, it looked like Grey was finally making it.
As much as it hurt Avery to see this, she was secretly glad about it. Somehow, she was happy that Grey was making it even though she didn’t know the reason why.
“So, you are going to side with Grey against your family?” Smith was enraged.” You guys are divorced!” He reminded her.
Well, Avery had sent the papers to Grey after signing. So, somehow they were not couples anymore.
“Don’t remind me!” Avery said dangerously, her anger almost tripping over. She wanted to stop thinking about the fact that Smith had done a lot to Grey, not excluding the setup. She just didn’t want to think about it, because she didn’t love Grey.
She didn’t care about Grey, there was no way she would. So, she had to divorce him. In fact, the main reason why she was holding back all these days was that she felt pity for Grey. But Grey was starting to make it.
“So, what? Do you think that record is going to be cleared off? No! Until you marry Chris, that would never happen! Think of everything that Chris had done to you!” Smith declared.
Avery looked away, feeling very frustrated.” Stop talking to me about Chris, I don’t want to marry him and you seriously can’t change my mind. You know that Smith,” She stressed.
“Well,” Smith shrugged briefly.” It’s not a law and it can be changed. You are just being unnecessarily stubborn. Anyways, you are going to join the meeting with the Protos Pubblicita representative.”
Avery looked at Smith again.” It’s not up to that, Smith.”
” Heck yes!” Smith screamed. “You will do it! You will choose your family over that useless thing you divorced or I will report to your grandfather!” He threatened in a deep voice.
Avery regarded him for a moment. Smith had always threatened her anyway. They’ve been arguing since they were very young. And despite how tough Avery had been, Smith had always been having the upper hand, If it wasn’t for Protos Pubblicita, Avery wouldn’t even have a chance to be the present CEO.
And he knew her weakness and the fact that somehow Lucy listened to Smith more than his granddaughter.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Nice!” Smith cooled down. “You are going to call Maria of Protos Pubblicita. We want Hercules to be our ambassador!” He revealed.
Avery’s eyes went wider. “What! You are going too far!”
Smith scoffed. “We signed a contract with Protos Pubblicita. So, they are bound by our clauses. Hercules is going to be our ambassador. With him, we can top again, perhaps even be the first. Well, it doesn’t matter as long as Grey stays in the mud where he belongs.” His selfish voice rang all over.
Anyways, Victoria Skincare was doing good.
“Boss, we have a problem,” Maria announced. Grey looked up at her, the smile still playing on his face, ” What is that about?” “I just received a call from LX corporation and they demand something.” Grey watched her for a moment.” Really? What’s that about?”
Maria released a sigh. “They would like the Protos Pubblicita to be their ambassador.”
Grey shrugged briefly.” Tell someone to go for it. In fact, you can do it.” “No,” Maria shook her head quickly.” They were specific. They want you to be their ambassador.”
Grey chuckled silently.” That should be Smith’s idea and not Avery’s.” Maria observed him. “You seemed to know these people closely but well, what should we do? They don’t necessarily want you to display your face, they just want your words and signature for it.”
“I know what he’s doing. He just has been scared that Victoria Skincare would take over,” he revealed.
“Why?” Maria raised confused brows.
” Because LX corporation is a cream company.”
Maria nodded once in understanding. “What should we do now? What reply should I give them?”
” None,” he said quickly. ” I’m going to be the ambassador for Victoria Skincare,” he announced
