Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Regrets

It was impossible! How could a diamond like this be the fake one?

“Are you kidding me? Are you trying to scam me?” Avery yelled in anger.

“I’m telling you the truth, miss. We don’t scam here. Whoever gave you that knows it’s not the real diamond because no one can sell or buy that for even twenty million dollars. I’m only buying it from you. because I was fascinated by it but no one will do it. You will never get a buyer for it,” he stated.

Avery took her diamond from him and rushed out of the store. It was impossible! There was no way the diamond would be fake. The manager must be trying to extort money from her.

So, she decided to try her grandfather’s friend. Her grandfather’s friend would definitely do her well and he would never lie to her.

She should have thought of it initially instead of wasting her time.

She soon arrived at Lucy’s friend’s store. Avery didn’t know his name but she does refer to him as grandpa too.

There were days when Avery usually visited him. In fact, he gifted her a pair of diamond earrings for her tenth birthday. But recently, she had been too busy to even remember him. Not even when she was disturbed by the sudden marriage and the trouble from Smith.

Avery entered the store and saw him handling one of the chains. She hesitated.

Her grandfather’s friends have always lived a meek life. He had just one salesperson and he didn’t plan on expanding it. Though, he was slowly becoming popular as his diamonds have been entering auctions.

He looked up, “welcome. How may I help you?”

Avery smiled. “It’s Avery Robinson.”

Avery,” he repeated as if tasting the sound of it. Then, his straight face evolved into a nice smile. “Avery, the daughter of Lucy! My friend?”

Avery nodded briefly and moved closer.

Meanwhile, his son was uninterested in what he was doing. His son had a company in France and has been living there. Only his grandchildren visit him in Jacksonville every Christmas.

Though, unlike Emma, his son got married late and his grandchildren were still very young.

“It has been a long time. Why have you and your grandfather deserted me?” He joked.” Though, he was here a few days ago.”

Avery laughed. “I’m so sorry. I got caught up with work, I actually thought I would see you at my grandfather’s birthday party.”

“Oh, yes. I’m really sorry about that. I was out of the city already. I visited my grandchildren and took ill. My son decided to have me treated before I return.” He explained and gestured at the chair in front of him.
