Chapter 190: Bait “There are lots of reporters outside the company and they wouldn’t leave,” Violet
revealed anxiously. Maria raised skeptical brows,” what do you mean? Why are reporters here?”
Violet sighed. “They want to see Hercules. There’s news everywhere that Hercules is back.” “What!”
Maria exclaimed softly. Before she could say something else, Jones walked inside. “Miss Maria, we need
to do something. The reporters are currently in the lobby. Despite how much we’ve managed to pull them
back, they wouldn’t leave without seeing the Hercules,” she informed her.
Maria looked at Violet.” You and Jones should prevent them from moving further. I will speak with
Hercules and seek his intervention.”
Jones’s eyes widened. “What? Hercules? Is he really back?” Maria nodded briefly.” Did you think
Hercules doesn’t know what happens in this company? Go now!” She urged them. She waited for a
moment as the two ladies walked out before she moved out too.
She hurried towards Grey’s office. She knocked and waited for Grey’s permission before she walked
inside.
Grey was on the laptop. He was looking at the Victoria Skincare website and saw that it was really
moving faster. In fact, his words as Hercules did a lot to push the company forward.
Within a matter of days, the company was on the search list and also the trending cream company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomehow, it was now beside the popular Smooth Therapy. The thing looked pleasing to him and he
smiled.
“Boss, we have an issue,” Maria announced but Grey didn’t look up. Instead, he raised a hand as a
means for her to proceed. “There are reporters in the lobby, looking for you.”
Grey looked up at her, with raised brows.” What? Me?”
Maria nodded briefly, then shook her head again.” I mean not as Grey Fox, but as Hercules.”
Grey regarded her for a moment.” Why do they want to see me?”
“They heard you were alive. It must have been the steps you took yesterday. Anyways, everyone now
knows you are back and wants to see you,” she revealed.
Grey relaxed back in his seat, as different thoughts went through his mind. He finally settled on
something and looked up at Maria. “Inforin them that I went out of the country yesterday and would be
back soon. Tell them I would be back very soon and would visit the reporters for my identity reveal.
Maria felt alerted.” Isn’t that extreme?” She asked, concerned.” I mean do you plan on revealing yoursell
anyume soon? Also, do you think they would be convinced and leave?! mean that’s what Jane has
always told them.”
Greysmiled softly.” Don’t worry about the others, just do as you are told. They would leave.”
Maria slowly nodded.” Alright, I will do that,” and she walked out of the office.
Grey made a decision yesterday, even without the other elders. He was going to give it to Giovanni when
lie didn’t expect it.
Gregory was supposed to inform all the elders. Grey planned to expose Giovanni’s weakness to the
world. He wouldn’t give him the time to be the businessman or the wealthiest of the year. The award has
always belonged to Grey’s father anyways and well, Grey was only going to take back what was his.
His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts forcefully. He picked it up.”Hi, Jimmy.” “Hi, Boss.
I’ve sent it out.” Grey smiled.” Good. Well Done. You can go to Beatrice, she would give you something
tangible.”
Jimmy laughed, knowing Grey was talking about money.” Thank you so much, Boss.” “How is Lan?”
“Fine sir. He and his wife have been discharged. But they still need to go back to the hospital for
checkups,” Jimmy supplied. Grey nodded briefly.” Later then,” and he hung up. He knew that the
reporters would leave soon. He mentally made a count from 1-3. His phone beeped immediately and a
notification popped on his phone.
It read, ‘Shocking news! Pablo is Alex and he’s the only son of Giovanni.’
Grey smiled at this. Mission accomplished.
Maria was a bit shocked as the reporters left one after the other. Some of them moved to whisper into
each other’s ears while some only checked their phones and left.
Violet walked towards Maria, just as Maria’s phone beeped suddenly.
She stared down at the notification. She didn’t know who Alex or Pablo was but she was concerned that
Giovanni’s son was back.
“We have representatives from LN corporation,” Violet informed.
Maria regarded her for a moment, as she thought quickly about the reason why Smith would be in Protos
Pubblicita.

Smith was still fuming when Maria walked inside with Violet,
“Good morning, Miss Maria,” Mia greeted softly.” We need to discuss this as soon as possible.
There were three more people sorted in the meeting room.
Maria regarded them for a moment. “Yes, no problein,” she sat and looked up again. “Is everything
alright?”
“No! How can you even ask that?” Smith fired suddenly,
“We came here with a proposal which Hercules was supposed to fulfill. Why did we sign a contract in the
first place if he wouldn’t go into every detail?” Mia pressed further. Maria raised skeptical brows. “I don’t
know what you are talking about.”, Smith banged on the table suddenly.” Stop saying that, Maria but you
do know what I mean. Hercules was supposed to be our ambassador. Why would he be an ambassador
for Grey?” ” Because Hercules signed a contract with LX company and not LX corporation,” a deep voice
expressed and Grey stepped out. “There’s a huge difference between the two.” Smith looked up at Grey
and hot anger surged through him.”And why the fuck is he in here? Send him out! We are having a very
important meeting here!” He was enraged. Maria looked at him.” We can’t do that. Mr. Grey is the new
supervisor and he has every right to attend whatsoever meetings he chose to.”
Smith’s face fell. Only a question went through his mind. How did Grey rise to such a position? How
could he be the CEO of Victoria Skincare and still be a supervisor at Protos Pubblicita?
