Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Confusion Grey turned away from him immediately and suppressed the emotion building up in him.

“Like you’ve said the other day, I did enjoy your wealth, I won’t deny it. Maybe it’s time I die. I mean what’s the essence? How could I live with the truth anyways? But one thing I won’t take is the fact that my father is truly dead. I saw his corpse. Even though he was burnt beyond recognition, I knew it was him,” he explained.

Grey sighed again and rubbed his face in frustration. Maybe it was true. Grey could have seen the wrong person. There was no valid reason as to why Leo would be alive.

He turned to look at Charles still on his knees. For a reason unknown to him, he wanted to believe him, just as he had believed Lan even though there were lots of possibilities why he shouldn’t. Should he follow his instincts? Well, he had always done so.

“Get up,” he muttered.

Charles got up slowly. “What are you going to do to me?” He looked up at him, his face hard with expression.

Grey released a sigh. “I’m not going to take your position as the elder but I don’t fully trust you yet. Maybe, just maybe you can work towards it. Goodbye,” he finished and without waiting for Charles’ reply hurried back to his car.

He wiped off the perspiration that had formed on his forehead. Was his eyes really playing tricks on him?

He laid back for a moment in quick thought. The spy was nowhere to be found and Grey still didn’t know who had killed his father. “Being the Hercules is as draining as something else,” he muttered and started the ignition.

A message popped up on his phone suddenly. It was from Lan. Grey read through and smiled. He placed a call to Don immediately.

“Hi Boss,” Don boomed from the other end. “I was going to call you after this last trip,” he announced. “I have some information on what you want.”

“Good, let’s meet by 3 tomorrow. We have to see Lan together. Then, you can fill

me on with everything,” he suggested. “That’s fine,” Don responded. And Grey hung up before he sped up. He was suddenly tired and very hungry. But he didn’t stop to get anything even though he knew there might not be any food awaiting him at home.

Grey hadn’t stepped in when he started hearing voices from the house.

“I have no time for this, sincerely,” Avery said softly.

The word enraged Smith. “Seriously? I knew this was what you were going to say! I was waiting for this! If this had happened to you, the world would have been the worst!” He yelled at her. “You would have cried your eyes out in pity but it happens to me and you don’t have the time for it?” He pointed out annoyingly. “What?” It was Avery’s turn to be angry. “Are you kidding me?” She regarded him for a moment. “Why do you even act as if you’ve never prayed for something like that to happen to me?”

She remembered what Grey had told her and somehow, the facts would always glare at her sometimes but she would choose to ignore it.

“Seriously?” Smith had this grim smile on his face.

The maid walked inside with a cup of hot chocolate but seeing the ongoing argument, she carefully placed it on the table and dashed off. “Yes!” Avery affirmed, standing up.”Just tell me you weren’t the one that goes around bribing top workers. Do you think I’m like you?”

“Are you any better?” He fired back.

Grey stepped inside at this moment but hesitated as he watched the two before he moved closer to Avery.

“What are you doing, Smith?” Grey asked as he stepped beside Avery. “Why are you torturing her? As if she has a hand in your misfortune,” he told him calmly. Avery looked over at him quickly, battling her lashes. She wondered how Grey knew about what had happened. Smith scoffed. “I can see that you’ve told your useless husband about it. You two must think you are a match for me, right?” “And what are you going to do about it?” Avery replied in cold tones.

Smith huffed. “Taking to your brother?”

Avery closed her eyes for a moment. “Now, I’ve had it all!” She opened them

again and stared hard at Smith. “You are not my brother. You don’t even act like one. You are not eligible to be one. Instead of you to repent, you go around blaming people for your misfortune and your mistakes.” “Stop it!” Smith screamed, in order to shut her up but Avery was like a cat that was just let out of the bag. “No, I wouldn’t stop!” She said stubbornly, her anger matching with Smith’s.“ You blamed me for what Jane did as if you didn’t approach Protos Pubblicita in the first place. Wait, can you even tell us how you made them sign the contract in the first place?”

“Yes, can’t you ever accept defeat? Protos Pubblicita chose Avery. Why should that be a problem for you? And why are you blaming her for it?” Grey questioned. “Yes!” Avery affirmed. “I didn’t do anything. You should be the one to sit and think it through. You should really reflect on yourself and stop blaming others. It’s not going-“ Avery didn’t complete it. Smith, fully enraged now, grabbed the cup of chocolate and aimed it close to Avery. He was very angry now and didn’t even see where his aim was set at.

Grey, sensing the danger at hand pulled Avery into a hug. His arms went around Avery, pulling her into the hard chest as he turned her around so that the chocolate would spill on his shirt.

Grey had initially taken off his suit and had just a shirt on. And the chocolate was still very hot. It went through his shirt and eventually burnt his skin, inflicting pain. Grey clenched his teeth against the pain from the burn. Avery pulled away from Grey quickly to look at Smith. “What have you done?” She screamed, then looked at Grey’s back, at the stain. “That chocolate was hot! Were you going to kill me?” Avery felt a surge of anger. Her heart made a sudden thud as the realization dawned on her. “Were you going to kill him?” She corrected.
