“Why didn’t you tell me, Avery?” Emma asked softly.
It was breakfast and as usual, the family of Robinson was all together.
Emma had investigated Grey and discovered that he was truly the owner of Victoria Skincare. She didn’t believe Grey could make it so fast but she remembered what Avery told her about how close Alfred was to him. But she didn’t see it coming.
“There was no usefulness,” Avery whispered.
“Tell you what?” Benjamin raised skeptical brows at Emma. When she didn’t talk, he looked over at Avery.” Is something happening that I don’t know about?”
Emma looked at Benjamin.” Didn’t you know? That Grey is the CEO of Victoria Skincare?”
Benjamin’s eyes went wide in shock.” You mean the fast-rising cream company?” Smith huffed. “There’s nothing to be so shocked about. He’s eventually going down. Do you think he’s skilled in management?”
” He might not but he has people working for him. And he’s currently the supervisor of Protos Pubblicita. You told me that yourself.” She pointed accusing fingers at him. “Seriously?” Lucy looked up from the food he was eating. “What did I just hear about Grey? He owns Victoria Skincare?”

Lucy couldn’t stop thinking of the fact that Grey won the lottery and brought such an expensive wristwatch just to please him. The act actually earned his respect. “I always knew he was destined for something great,” Benjamin said suddenly. Einmacraned her neck to look at him, shocked for a moment. “Are you kidding? He’s kicking against us. Is this the right time to be saying something like that?”
“Mom!” Avery called, a bit annoyed.” Stop that.” She stressed, tiredly. Smith scoffed, “It seeins like someone is regretting a divorce,”
Avery gave him a dirty stare.” What’s that supposed to mean?”
Smith smiled softly, “You and I both know what I’m talking about.”
Avery felt a stab of annoyance. “You liad better shut your mouth or I will shut it for you!” She
