Chapter 77: Frustrate them all Smith walked into grandpa Lucy’s office with a sad face.
“I don’t know what’s wrong but Protos Pubblicita is terminating the contract.”
Lucy’s face took on a wry line as he regarded Smith. ” What do you mean? Everything was going well. Why would they terminate the contract?”
Smith shrugged slightly.” We need to sue them. Hercules shouldn’t terminate like that!”
“You idiot!” Lucy snapped at him.” How could you even think of something like that? Hercules is a prominent man in society. We might find ourselves falling into the mud. We should rather seek his favor rather than his wrath.”
“What should we do then?” Smith murmured.
Lucy looked away as he thought about it.” Does he state anything he wants?”
Smith thought quickly about the question and his eyes sparked.” He wants Avery to be in charge.”
“What?” Lucy couldn’t believe his ears. How did Hercules get to know Avery that he would be choosing her over Smith?
“I told you. I told you that Avery had been disgracing you secretly. I’m sure she must have seduced one of Hercules’ managers. Avery is always doing shit like what she did with Grey. If I didn’t call you over that day, she would have lied about it!” Smith had thought about it severally and realized the only way to take the company from Avery was to make him hate Avery. And Smith knew exactly what Lucy despised. Lucy’s eyes turned red at the revelation. “Are you sure of what you are saying?”

Smith nodded briefly. ‘im very certain. Why will I lie against Avery? She’s like my little sister.” Lucy nodded.” She is your little sister, Smith,” he corrected. Smith nodded. “Yes,” he admitted. “I’ve just not been able to catch her red handed these days but that will happen soon.” Lucy released a sigh. He felt really disappointed. He had not expected what Smith had been telling him until he met Grey and Avery at the hotel. So, if he was saying the same thing again, then he must be right.
“We will give Hercules whatever he wants. Avery will be in charge.” Smith opened his mouth to protest but Lucy cut in quickly. “I can’t afford to lose this contract.”
Grey got home earlier and realized that others weren’t at home. He was glad because of this.
He went for a quick shower, then made some pancakes for himself.
He then decided to see if Avery left the ring behind. He needed to compare it with his ring
He found the ring in the jewelry box. Grey took it and went into his car to get his ring.
Now comparing it, Grey saw the difference. Though, it was too little to be noticeable. Not everyone would see it anyways, except if the person was an expert when it comes to these famous rings.
