Chapter 75: Inferior Grey had to wait in front of the door for the girls to finish up. It took a while as they were laughing and chatting. Grey groaned severally but he knew that Avery wouldn’t want to be late as well. She was currently the CEO of LN material company and she wouldn’t want to disappoint her grandfather. Truly, the door opened a few minutes later and Avery stepped out, still laughing with Chloe. “Good morning,” he greeted but the ladies were too busy talking that they didn’t even hear him or maybe they heard and didn’t want to reply, Grey couldn’t say.
Grey entered the room and tried to get ready very fast. As he was making his tie, his phone beeped. It was a message from Aphrodite.
Grey’s eyes went wide with shock as he read through. The Blue Diamond was really rare, that was what Aphrodite confirmed. In fact, only one of the diamonds was in the city at the time of the auction to that moment. It was because of this that Aphrodite desperately wanted to buy it. That was why she kept increasing the price until she couldn’t go any further.
Where did Chris get the Diamond then? When Grey got out, Smith was at the table which was very odd. He took his seat beside Him anyways since Chloe had taken his seat.

“What are you doing here, smith?” Emma bombarded him, she doesn’t seem to like him.
Smith smiled. “I’m at my uncle’s house. I think that question is a bit out of it.” Lucy nodded. “He’s right, Emma. He had equal rights as you and Avery,” he affirmed. Emma groaned, clearly unsatisfied by her father’s remark. Silence permeated for a while. “Lest I forget, Smith will be handling the contract with Protos Pubblicita,” Lucy said suddenly “What! Grandpa! I should be doing that!” Avery said quickly.
“Yes, she’s in charge,” Emma chimed in.
Lucy cleared his throat meaningfully and took a glass of water. He drank to his heart’s content. “Smith is handling the contract and that’s it!” He said in a voice
that left no room for more words. Avery’s face fell and everyone went silent. But there was a satisfied smile on Smith’s face.
Grey groaned inwardly. He wondered what Lucy was trying to do when he, as Hercules, stated that Avery must be the head of the team that would be involved with Protos Pubblicita.
Lucy and Smith left way earlier.
“I don’t believe my father can do this!” Emma fumed.
Benjamin, who has been quiet for a while, decided to talk.” I believe he had his reasons for this. I mean he’s not removing Avery as the CEO.”
“Until when?” Emma yelled angrily. “I’m sure Smith is talking into his ears. And this is all Grey’s fault!” She pointed an accusing finger at him. She was red as charcoal.
Grey stood up quickly. “I will leave now, bye,” he said quickly and rushed out of the room with his
briefcase.
He pulled a call to Jane the moment he pulled out of the Robison house. “Hi, Mr. Fox. Good morning,” Jane’s voice came from the other side, loud and clear.
“Protos Pubblicita is going to meet with LN material today right?”
“Yes, master. We are supposed to get into work today,” she explained. Grey shook his head once. “Alright, now if they send Smith over, we are terminating the contract.”
Jane went quiet for a moment. “Alright, master.”
“Yes, this contract will only carry on if it’s Avery Robinson that is representing LN material. Tell them this,” he ordered.
“Alright Boss,” Jane replied softly and Grey hung up.
