Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 49: The truth âWho the fuck do you think you are? You canât just show up now and start claiming Hercules! Where were you all these years?â Charles yelled.
Grey stared at him for a moment, he didnât know if he was angry that he would be taking back his properties or if he was just concerned, âHey. Charles. You need to calm down! This is not the right time to do all this!â Aphrodite interfered.
Seriously? Charles smurked âLet him tell me the right time because Iâm not getting it!â
Aphrodite sighed, fed up already. She decided to call on Alfred, perhaps he could settle the fight between Grey and Charles âWhereâs Alfred? Is he inside?â
Charles looked at Aphrodite and nodded slightly. âHis documents and all other stuff are inside. I believe Iâm not needed here anymore and Iâm leaving! He snarled Aphrodite stormed inside, leaving the two men staring daggers at each other âNothing to say? Cat got your tongue?â Charles teased âIâm sure you were the one that just introduced yourself as Hercules now or was there someone else?â He turned around sarcastically.
âWhy donât you ask your father where I have been all these years?â Grey said suddenly, shocking Charles for a moment He whirled to look at Grey. There was a surprised look on his face. âWhat did you just say?â
Grey took a step closer, filling the gap between them. I just said you should find the right person to blame. It wasnât like I was out there, hiding away from my responsibility Wait, is that how it looked to you? * Grey pointed out. He was getting angry as well.
Charles blinked once, unable to fully comprehend what he was saying Grey clenched his teeth âYou know what? You shouldnât be the one angry, I should be because I watched your father shoot my father!â He yelled though he regretted talking about it the moment the words left his mouth.
CCharlesâseyes went wide with shock Though, if it was because of the revelation of her fatherâs wrongdoing or because he didnât know that Grey knew about the act, that was something Grey didnât know âWhat are you saying?â Charles stammered His voice went soft and low. He felt defeated *Ask your fatherl Grey yelled again. He had been keeping it in for a while and he thought it was finally good to let it out Though, maybe things would never remain the same. If Charles was the spy, then he might expect evil days sooner than later.
Charles cleared his throat meaningfully. âAre you saying my father killed your father before he died?â
Grey hissed.â Your father killed my father and shot me as well. Apparently, he wanted you to acquire my properties which is what you are currently doing. Or why are you angry that Iâm getting my properties back frorn you?â He accused, his blue eyes drilling holes in Charlesâs face.
Charles sucked in a breath, he turned away as he tried to assess the whole thing. He turned back to Grey again âYou mean my father killed your father? No! Thatâs not correct! Itâs not possible! How could that happen? They used to be friends.â He argued.
How else did you think I stood far away all these years? I didnât even remember who I was until I met Alfred Iâve been living in misery while you enjoyed my wealth So, why are you so angry?â Grey tried to calm down He was starting to lose it which was so bad Grey took in another deep breath before speaking again if you leave now, I will assume you know about The whole plan,â he looked up and caught Aphrodite He didnât know how long she had been there or how much she had heard âWhat is happening here?â Gregory said behind them suddenly The trio turned around to look at Gregory There was a bright smile on Gregoryâs face âDonât tell me the meeting is over, already âNo.â Grey said quickly. âWe are just going in,â he added and stared up at Charles as if daning him to say no âYesâ Charles chimed in âWell, welcome Gregory Itâs nice to see your face after avoiding me for months Gregory smiled âIâm busier than you.â
Aphrodite sensed the sensation between Charles and Grey but she didnât know what it was all about The last statement was the only thing that she heard and that made it look even weirder. Though, she knew at that point that there was something that both Charles and Grey were hiding They walked inside the spacious living room The chandelier, the color of the chairs, and everything about the room were in place Grey thought the building structure was beautiful but the inner decorations were even more beautiful âWelcome Hercules,â the elders in the living room chorused A wide grin spread across their faces as they poured themselves into wine âItâs been ten years We thought Hercules was lost forever,â Jayden laughed *I found him. I should be rewarded,â Alfred teased Grey grabbed a wine cup as well â Iâm so grateful,â he affirmed. But I think we will have a lot of time to do this later in the future I need to return to work,â Grey announced âYes, thatâs right I also have a flight to catch,â Aphrodite mentioned Yes, we should hurry up Grey is still under cover, we canât risk anything. Gregory added âI donât think Itâs the right time to let him come out as Hercules,â he suggested Everyone nods in agreement They decided to get busy drinking wine and chatting among themselves while Charles handed over Rioâs estate Only Aphrodite stood with Grey Charles nodded and looked at Grey He seemed a lot calmer now and ready to help. I will tell you everything I know. But the files to your fatherâs properties are in this safe,â he gestured to the small box on the table. Then, he moved closer and opened the box Grey stared at the files in it. Looking at its qualities, he concluded that his fatherâs documents were more than he thought. How could his father have so much but he had to suffer for ten years?
âThatâs so much! It looked like your father was busy acquiring wealth for you,â Aphrodite slated with a Wide smile A phone rang suddenly and Charles moved closer to Greyâllâs Jane thatâs calling.â he announced Grey looked up at Charles. The secretary of Protos Pubblicita?â
Charles nodded âShe probably wants to hint me on the contract they were supposed to sign this afternoonâ
Grey remembers the contract that Lucy was talking about âWait Could it be the contract between Protos Pubblicita and LX corporation?
Charlesâ brows creased How did you know about that?â
Though, the contract was supposed to be signed on Monday Grey sensed that something was wrong Pick it. Grey ordered, ignoring his question Charles clicked on the receiver and made sure the phone was on the loudspeaker âHello, how are you, Jane?â
A sweet soft voice emerged âFine sir, I want to let you know that the contract has been signed âWhat?â Shock spread across Greyâs face âThey were supposed to sign it on Monday Why today?â
Aphrodite gave him skeptical brows âHow did you know about the contract Grey smiled âLucy Robinson talked about it Aphrodite nodded âIâve forgotten you are married to Averyâ
âWhat Married? Charles blurted out, shocked, then shook his head âSorry about that Jane,â he added quickly I wasnt referring to you When did you sign the contract?
Avery looked up at Grey againThe contract has been signed already is something wrong with it?â
Smith Robinson was present, right?â Grey wasnt so sure Smith was supposed to sign the contract on Monday or perhaps it was Avery that convinced them to sign the contract today Alright. Jane but who was the representative that came from LX corporalion?
Jane went silent for a moment âItâs Smith Smith Robinson
