Chapter 316: The hidden truth

Grey didn't understand at first until he concentrated really hard. "Wait, Do you mean someone forced your husband to pretend to be sick?"

Mercury shook her head briefly. "No, that's real and that's why I was leaving. I mean I'm tired. I don't think I can't do this anymore and what if they come back? What if they try to harm me?" She rushed the words and got Grey confused.

"Slow down, Mercury, and explain what happened to you. I don't seem to be able to make any bits from all you've just said." He muttered and looked right at her.

Mercury sobbed quietly. "Alright, I will tell you everything," she sat very well but her gaze was still everywhere but at Grey. "My husband and I actually fell in love with Victoria Skincare. He loved it from day one," she stopped talking and sucked in breath instead.

"Yes, go on," Grey egged her on. He was certain that the information Mercury was going to reveal would help Victoria Skincare and Linda. So, he had to be patient. That aside, he had nowhere to be at that moment. So, it was ok.

"Then, a man met with him. I didn't know either. I don't even know who they were. I merely thought he was one of his business partners. John refused to tell me anything, he kept it all a secret from me," she sobbed quietly but soon got over it. "I got home earlier that day when John started screaming."

Grey raised questioning brows at her and waited.

"They were three men with dangerous-looking faces. I asked him what was wrong but he forced me to go inside the room. I tried to listen to their conversation and got the hint that they were talking about me," she explained.

She was trying to take everything slowly.

"I questioned John about it after they left but he wouldn't tell me anything. I had to threaten him before he would."

"Yes, what did the men tell him?" Don asked impatiently.
