Chapter 574: Surprise? Grey poured himself some wine, took the cup, and gulped the content down ina go.

“Somehow, this wine tastes good." Charles laughed and walked out of the kitchen. He placed a plate of pizza in the middle of the table.

“Who would have thought you would let me make something today?” “Because I'm happy, Charles. Or I would never let you make my food.

Why will I even do that?” Charles laughed. “I want to treat your fuck up sometimes.” Grey smiled and looked at Jimmy and Mark. “What are you guys still doing there? Aren't you hungry?” jimmy looked at Mark and smiled softly. They walked closer.

“Oh, what!” Charles feigned surprise.

“You guys didn't join me in the kitchen, what makes you think I want you to eat my food? This food is mainly for Grey! Though, I might be the only one to eat the pizza,” he joked.

They all burst into laughter.

Charles removed the apron around her neck and sat. “The party is in three hours. So, let's have this.” Grey nodded once. “Let's do it. Oh, that reminds me, how is Aurora?” “She's around and she's coming to the party.’ “Wow, nice. You two should just get married already.” “same to you!” Charles laughed.

They started eating.

“Oh, before I forget,” Grey started suddenly. “We will need a skilled scientist. I'm trying to find one before I return to Jacksonville.” Charles looked at Grey. “What do you need it for?” “Well, it's concerning the experiment.

We will need a scientist to tell us what Giovanni was up to and if we can make use of the opportunity. If not, then we might be able to have something to charge Giovanni with. Maybe his son won't be the only ex-convict in his family,” he explained.

Charles nodded once. “I understand. I will look it up. Maximo should be able to introduce us to a very good scientist.” } \ Grey nodded once. “That's what I thought too. Let's speak to him after the party this afternoon.” Charles nodded in agreement.

In less than two hours, they were preparing for the party.

Grey got dressed in a blue tuxedo. He was tall and fit in it as if the tuxedo was designed mainly for him.

He checked himself in the mirror again before he finally stepped out, having dabbled his body with perfume.

He stepped out of the room and hesitated briefly. He hasn't spoken to Aphrodite, especially after the successful operation and he hasn't been feeling well.

He dialed her number instantly. ! Aphrodite didn't pick up until the second ring.

“Hello Grey!” Her voice came out sharp with a hint of excitement.

Grey smiled at this. He was glad that Aphrodite was at least happy.

“How are you doing, dear?” “I'm really happy. You've received the news right?” Grey nodded once and quickly remembered that Aphrodite wasn’t near. “Yes, I have. I'm really happy about the success. You did a great job.” Aphrodite laughed. “Thank you. When are you coming back by the way i Grey thought about it for a few minutes. “In three days max because I'm not sure if there will be any.other program with the mafia lords.” “Well, take your time. You need it. We can't take our chances now. It remains little for Giovanni to go down.” Grey nodded again. “Yes, right. By the way, I'm on my way to the party. Iwill talk to you later.” “Alright, dear. Take good care of yourself. Charles told me you weren't feeling that well in Jacksonville. Your health is very important.” Grey laughed. “Alright, I will. Bye, dear.” “Bye!” And the line went off.

Grey released a sigh of relief and walked into the living room. Charles, Mark, and Jimmy were waiting for him already.

“Are we set? Should we leave?” Charles inquired.

Grey nodded once. “Yes, I'm ready.” They stepped out of the house. There were a few of his men waiting by two of their cars.

They got inside the cars.

“You got a lot of gifts. I'm really impressed. These men are something!” Charles complimented.

Grey smiled. “Everyone is happy. | brought honour to them. Isn’t that something?”

Charles nodded once. “Yes, right.” Grey relaxed. “It's a great journey so { far.” Silence descended among them as they drove.

“Finally! We are here!” Charles announced suddenly with excitement.

Mark was beside Grey’s side of the car and opening the door for him.

Just as Grey got down, his head turned slightly and he stood rooted on the spot for a moment as he regarded the familiar figure getting down from the ca r as well.

There's no way he would have mistaken Avery for someone else.

What was she doing here again?
