Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 19



Chapter 19: Tarnish in the image
The drive back to Lucy‘s house was slow and quiet. Grey still felt pains in his hands from having to beat fifty men. It was
something he hadn‘t done for a long time. He pulled up in front of the house and inhaled a deep breath before he got down. He
walked inside the house, slowly.
“I don‘t know if there‘s anything we can do about it then. Hopefully, we should wish that Ken would talk to Alfred, perhaps he
could help,” Benjamin muttered.
“We need to have the King‘s Corp support if we want to do this. Perhaps, we should ask the help of foxgreen holdings,” Emma
suggested.
“No mom! There‘s no fucking way we will try to meet Hercules. No one has ever seen him,” Avery argued.
“Perhaps Chris would help us then,” Emma said finally, with a hint of defeat. “Well, I will gladly finalize your marriage. What has
Grey done for us anyway?” She sneered.
Grey walked inside, wondering what was really happening. From what he heard, it seemed like Avery‘s company was having
issues.
“Greetings,” he greeted and everyone‘s gaze turned towards him. “Oh seriously!” Emma barked. “Greetings to you too Grey!”
She yelled.” Right timing!”
Grey looked over to Avery for a hint of what was happening. Avery sighed and looked away.
“Did I do something wrong?” Grey asked, skeptical. Benjamin took his phone from the table and pressed some buttons before he
stretched it out. Grey moved closer and took the phone from him. He stared with eyes gone gobsmacked. The video was about
him in the restaurant while he was beating the other man for disgracing him.
Realization dawned on him. It was at that time that he knew why they were being hostile to him again.
“I can explain_,” he started but Emma cut him off.
“Explain what? That you couldn‘t pay for the meal and you had to embarrass the young man to get away with it?” She raised
known brows at him and dared for him to argue.
“Why did you even go there in the first place? I thought you said you wanted to look for a job? “Avery asked suddenly, pained.

The video didn‘t capture Caramel and he didn‘t want to talk about her. He didn‘t want anything that would upset Avery the more.
“I don‘t believe we allowed you into this house, only to disgrace us,” Benjamin said sadly.” How could the husband of Avery
Robinson be caught behaving like thugs!” He spat with disgust.
“This video didn‘t capture it all. This man embarrassed me, I was with a_,” he stopped suddenly as he remembered that he didn‘t
want to talk about Caramel. He didn‘t want to add salt to injury.
“With who?” Avery required and held his gaze.
He sighed, unable to proceed. “I knew it! This guy is a filthy liar!” Emma yelled again. “He came here to brag and bluff but went
ahead to steal from this young man. He‘s so incorrigible!
” She contended and looked over at Benjamin.” Is this seriously who we want our daughter to spend her life with? When are
there more prominent men out there?” She shook her head in disgrace.
“Damn! This video has gone viral! What are you going to do about it?” Benjamin required.
Grey sighed but didn‘t say a word, he didn‘t even know what he was supposed to say.
“I‘m sorry but he deserved it.”
Emma lurched forward quickly and slapped him. “You better shut up while I‘m still asking you nicely. You better do it! You went
ahead to disgrace the whole of Robinson and you want to tell me you are right in what you did?” She raised a questioning brow.”
And we are supposed to welcome you with hugs in congrat on the achievement?” She was fuming in rage.
“You don‘t have a job and you have never thought of helping this family. What you could think of was bringing disgrace here?”
She barked.
” Emma, please stop,” Benjamin called her to a stop. Emma turned towards Benjamin again.“I need to talk to my father. He
wouldn‘t do this to me! Thank goddess the two aren‘t really married. We are going to stop it!”
Benjamin sighed, frustrated.” You do know how your father can be. He might not want to back off.
Emma shook slightly.” I‘m going to convince him that this Grey isn‘t the right one for her. Chris is and he will be the one to marry
my daughter.”
Avery looked up quickly at her mother. “Mom! I haven‘t given my permission for that!” She protested.

Emma looked at her and shrugged slightly. “You don‘t need to do it. I‘m your mother and I know what‘s best for you. There‘s
nothing Grey will give you in this marriage except pains and I‘m sure you don‘t want that. That aside, you need to help your
company. Without Chris, you won‘t be able to revive your company.” “But mom, I will speak with Alfred. He should be able to help
me,” Avery pleaded with optimism.” But I don‘t want to be with Chris.”
Emma held her hands around her waist.” So, would you rather be with Grey?”
“No!” Avery said quickly.” I don‘t want any of them.“. “What do you need Alfred‘s help for?” Grey asked out of nowhere, curious
about what the problem was.
” Avery needs help in terms of money to revive her company. Most of the shareholders have backed up,” Benjamin explained.
” Why are you explaining to him! Is there anything he can do other than fight like he did in the video?” Emma insulted him further
and walked closer to him.” Just know that your days as my daughter‘s husband is numbered. You won‘t get your deal with her!
She will be getting married to Steve!” She yelled finally before she stormed inside. Benjamin took his phone from Grey and
walked after her. Grey sighed and looked at Avery. “How much do you need?” “Partnering with P.K would be just fine but Alfred
doesn‘t want that because it wouldn‘t really benefit him.”
Grey sighed.” I will help you.” Avery looked up slowly.” Do you know that I hate you so very much? Now, you‘ve tarnished my
image in front of my friends and I hate you even more!” She stood.” And stop bluffing! Stop pretending you can do anything
because you can‘t. You couldn‘t even afford a suit before I met you. And I want right now for you to leave my life.” “But_,” Grey
started again. “Say more words and I will call thugs to deal with you!” She threatened.” Since fighting is your hobby, I might help
you tonight.“
