Chapter 551: Trick Grey caught her very fast. He didn't know what was happening but he was able to see Avery before she fell.
Avery blinked once as if she couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
"Are you alright?" Avery pushed him away as if he was dirt. "I'm fine!" Her voice was firm, unlike before.
And it felt weird.
Grey readjusted himself and took a step backward. "That's ok then, to know you are ok." Avery regarded him for a moment.
"You are Grey?"
Grey nodded once. "Of course, I am." Avery huffed. "Seriously? So, you ) didn't expect me to believe that, do you?" She chuckled. "I just wonder if all men are the same. You go around adhering to match-making as if you are some useless vase or you are merely trying to have a rich bride." Grey was taken aback. "Pardon me?" "You do know what I'm talking about, don't you?" "Well, maybe I do but you shouldn't talk to me in such a manner. I just saved your life." Avery huffed."Should I, because you saved my life, give you what you want?"
Grey gathered his brows in shock.
"What do you mean? What do I want?" Sa "Well, I know that you aren't my ex- husband. We've never been married before, I'm so sure of that!" She said stubbornly.

That aside, it was what Grey wanted anyways. So, he didn't need to bother much about her.
At least, it was currently guaranteed that she wouldn't be in his way in the future and she won't definitely be in
danger. Except she regained her memories in the future which he silently prayed doesn't happen-—— Grey shook his head briefly. "Alright.
But you should be in the hospital. I don't think it's alright for you to wander around like this." Avery rolled her eyes. "What I do is none of your concern," she muttered and walked into the coffee shop.
Grey regarded her for a moment before he walked to his car and got inside.
He pushed Avery's issue off his mind as more important thoughts resurfaced.
If he could lay his hands on the watch, it would really be useful. He could bring Giovanni down once and for all.
And he really had to be careful so it | doesn't get to Giovanni.
That aside, he couldn't help but think that Giovanni already knows where Alex was. Obviously, he would have searched every hook and nook of the town. Giovanni doesn't joke with his son.
Though, he didn't think that he was aware of the damage he had done to his son. He definitely wasn't. Or maybe he was. Maybe that was why he burned SU World.
He pulled out his phone and dialled Charles' number. He picked it up after the second ring.
"Hello, Grey. Is everything alright?" "Yes, but I have something to ask. I did
inform you and Alfred to have a spy around Giovanni." "Yes, you did," Charles confirmed. "Is there something wrong?" "I need to confirm something. Bring him to my house this instant. There's something I really need to check." "Alright boss," Charles responded and the line went off.
If what Grey was thinking was right, then Giovanni might have set a trap for them. They would really have to be extra careful to avoid it.
His phone rang suddenly. It was Aphrodite.
Grey hesitated for a few minutes before he picked it up.
"Hello, Novia."
Aphrodite let out a sigh. "Do you want me to come over?" "You have only one mission at this : moment and that is, following your heart baby girl. How are you doing recently?" "Fine, I just couldn't stop thinking about SU world. That company is one after your heart. I couldn't even imagine how sad you would be," she muttered.
""] have an auction to go to this evening. I will have to think of how to make a comeback when that is over. SU world has to come back stronger and better," he said with determination.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, Grey. Stronger not after Giovanni receives his punishment."
Grey nodded once. "Yes, definitely. He will." Aphrodite hesitated as if she had something more to say but didn't know if she could proceed or not.
"Is there something bothering you, Novia," "'] heard from Charles that Avery is very well now." "Yes," Grey's voice strained. "And better." { Aphrodite laughed. "That's good news.
I'm so happy about that," she went quiet for a moment. "I need to go now.
We will talk later." "Alright, bye," Grey muttered and the line went off.
He released an exasperated sigh.
The car pulled to a stop in the garage and Grey got out. Charles' car was in the parking space too. ales Grey walked inside and truly, Charles was waiting for him and with Don beside him.
Don bowed the moment Gey walked inside. "Boss." Grey moved to sit. "You can Site Charles and Don sat.
"What did you want to confirm?" Grey regarded Don for a moment. "Is there anything strange you noticed about Giovanni yesterday?" Don went still for a moment as if thinking about it. "Actually, it wasn't weird. It's just that one of Giovanni's men met with someone yesterday
night," he revealed.
"You don't know who he met?" Don shook his head briefly. "1 don't but I'm very sure he wasn't one of his elders." Grey sat back, as different thoughts collided in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion.
Charles had this agitated look on his face as he looked over at Grey for answers. "What is really wrong?" What if it's a trick? What if Giovanni is merely trying to lure us out before he would go for Alex?" Charles regarded him for a moment.
"Are you saying the watch might be fake?" "well, if he's trying to trick us, then
it's very possible. He needed us to stay away so that he would be able to take Alex." a
