Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 244: Beneath the lies Grey looked away and smiled. âIâm still unable to confirm who the murderer is,â he looked up at Mattee.
But I will give you feedback when I find out about the truth.â
James nodded briefly. â Anyways, I will be ready for you.â
Charles let out a sigh as his hand around the glass of wine faltered but the others barely noticed âSo, you are waiting to take revenge on Alex?â
James nodded briefly. â Yes, but Giovanni will react. You know how much heâs protective about his son.
So, well this fight will involve them all. Iâm planning on relocating to Jacksonville for now. I will send you a message when Iâm around,â he informed.
Grey nodded once. âAlright, I will be waiting.â
âHercules needs to be back,â Francesco uttered suddenly as gazes turned on him. â Grey, you need to take up your fatherâs position openly. A Mafia boss needs to be answerable to his men. Iâm sure your men are wondering. You need to reassure them or they might lose trust in you,â he advised.
Grey nodded once. âI support that but Giovanni has some spies among my men. So, Iâm currently planning a huge surprise for them because I would like to show everyone who Hercules is. Itâs high time anyways and I donât want to prolong matters.â
Francesco clasped his hands, a wide smile spread across his face. â Iâm waiting! I will surely attend the party! You can count me in for anything that involves you.â
Grey smiled at this.â But the news might be shocking. Donât bother about it and wait for the result,â he hinted.
They both nodded.
âSo,â Grey smiled and relaxed in his chair.â May we talk about the reason Iâm here? I need to hurry back home if you donât mind.â
James laughed. â Sure, right. Though, Iâm still looking forward to having another drink with you when I get to Jacksonville.â
Grey laughed. â Sure, I will be expecting you.â
James drank his wine.â Caramel is your girlfriend, right?â
Grey eyes went wide for a moment. â You sure know so much.â
James laughed and placed the cup on the table. â Yes, I do and I also know that she has been communicating with Alex recently.â
âWhat!â It was Charlesâ turn to be shocked.â What do you mean?â
James regarded the two men in front of him for a moment. â Alex met with Caramel at Digital World.
And she sent him something that I was unable to find out. I think you should speak with Caramel or either stay away from her.â
Grey gathered his forehead, as he watch James.â Thatâs not possible.â
âWell, Iâm sorry to burst your bubble but Iâm sure about it,â James confirmed.
Well, Mattee is very skilled as Iâve mentioned earlier. Heâs very swift and he investigates very fast. He doesnât say what he doesnât know. He tells the truth and I think you should really act fast on Caramel as he had suggested,â Francesco advised.
Grey couldnât think clearly. What was James saying exactly? Was he trying to say that he had been betrayed by Caramel? But it was very difficult to conclude because Caramel has always trusted him. In fact, no one in the world has trusted him like how Caramel does. There was no fucking way she would betray him.
She doesnât even know who he was or does she right now?
M âAlright, thanks. Iâm here because I would like for you to employ someone in the shoe company.
Francesco nodded briefly.â You are free to do this, even without my consultant but may I know who is coming?â
âBlaze, Jamalâs son. Heâs challenged and I do hope you can help him out. Although heâs challenged and slow but he is quite talented in shoemaking. I will be glad if he can be encouraged at all times,â he explained.
Francesco nodded again. âIâve heard of Jamal but not his son. Tell him to come over to Italy, the job is his already but I will inform someone to monitor him so that he doesnât get into trouble with the managers and the rest of the team.â
Grey smiled. âI will appreciate that. Tha k you so much.â He expressed.
Francesco smiled. âIâm glad I could help. That being said, Iâve moved you into one of the best and big suites in Italy. Your safety is my main priority,â he laughed.
Grey joined in, even though it was almost fake. Grey was worried, disappointed, and confused.
Was Mattee right? Maybe he was because everything he had said about him that night was all true. But what could Caramel have given Alex?
âDo you want some hot girls!â Francesco asked suddenly, laughing.
Grey smiled and shook his head briefly. âI have to retire. I have a long journey, tomorrow.â
Since the matter has been resolved amicably, he planned to return the next day, especially because of Caramel and because he wants to discuss with the elders about the plan.
âRight. When next you come here, I will treat you even better,â Francesco promised and stood.
Grey stood as well and they shook hands. Then, he shook hands with Mattee too.
âSafe journey, Hercules.â
âThank you.â
âMy man will take you to the suite. You can drive after him.â
Charles and Grey nodded at the same time. Meanwhile, the same thing was running through their mind.
âWhat are you thinking of?â Charles asked suddenly while they were driving behind one of Francescoâs men.
Grey sighed and looked away, through the window. âAre you thinking of something as well?â
Charles sighed, perturbed. âYou arenât going to talk about your girlfriend?â
âI donât believe what James said. Caramel would never work with Alex. She trusts me,â she expressed.
âWell, anything could have happened. It could actually be a setup in the first place. Caramel must have gotten close to you in the first place while working with Alex. Itâs the only explanation for this thing,â
Charles explained.
Grey looked at him quickly, his face hardened all of a sudden. âDonât talk about her like that!â
âWell, we canât overlook certain things, right?â
âNot her!â Grey yelled.â She canât do such a thing! She canât betray me. I trust her!â
Charles went silent for a moment as if he was thinking about something. âMy father betrayed your father. Is there something more than that kind of relationship? And_,â he hesitated for a moment. â You told me that a man was trying to get a strand of your hair. What if what Caramel sent to Alex was a strand of your hair?â
Grey looked over at Charles, with eyes gone wide with shock
