CHAPTER 475: CAUGHT IN THE TRAP

Alex regarded the man for a moment.

"Strange men?"

"Yes boss," the man nodded once.

"Should we get them? We could question them what they are doing in our territory," he suggested.

Alex nodded once.

"Get the men to do that."

The man bowed slightly and walked out.

Alex took his phone and read through the message again.He found it strange.

Why would he inform him that Grey was in Italy and then, he’s saying it might be his lookalike? Surely, that could have been true but Alex didn’t want to believe, not yet because it kind of sounded somehow.

And that means he won't be telling his father until he has confirmed everything.

He dialled the number.It rang severally but no one picked it up.He rang it the second time before he gave up on it.Maybe he was asleep or perhaps he was at a nightclub.So, he decided to send him a message.

The door opened again and the man from earlier on walked inside.

"Boss, they left before I got out.They left in a hurry, according to the men outside.One of them seemed to have received a call before they all left," he explained.

Alex squeezed his face in concentration.

"Have someone to follow them and see where they go.I want every detail about the men," he ordered.

The man bowed slightly and walked out of the room.

Maximo woke up early that morning and got prepared to do his role in Grey's plan.

Though he was a bit scared he might fail or Alex might not believe him.But he still had to try.

"Boss, when is he coming back home?" Maximo grunted.

"When it's time.I won't let him put me into trouble and he would have to serve his punishment when he returns.But for now, let him be with Grey," he turned around and adjusted his t-shirt.

‘Let's leave now," he ordered.

They walked out to the parking space, with ten of Maximo’s men already waiting for him by the car.He contemplated quickly on whether to go with more men or not.He didn't trust Alex one bit but he had to make it look like he wasn't scared by him.

"Five of the men should stay back.Only five follow me," he muttered and entered the car.

The car pulled out into the street a few minutes later.Grey called him that morning before he left for Ravello.

And he also revealed to him that he was finally going to work for Avery.As much as he hated it, he couldn't help but admit to the fact that he wanted it as well.He wanted anything that would make Avery stay in Italy.

Without Grey, Avery would leave Italy very soon.But with him, she would be able to start a branch office in Italy which would enable her to be close to him.

Maximo loves Avery already.He was just waiting for the right time to let the cat out of the bag.

"We are here, boss," one of the men announced suddenly, jerking Maximo out of his thought.

He released a sigh and got out of the car.He hesitated as he looked up at the building.

Several men rushed out of the house and formed a defense position.

While Maximo's men were forced to stay behind Maximo in a defense position as well.

The men parted suddenly and Alex walked out from the door.

"Maximo?" Alex laughed. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"So nice to see you again." Maximo scoffed.

"Don't act as if you are pleased to see me again."

"Why? You haven't boldly challenged me, Maximo.Though, I'm looking forward to that.What are you doing here?" Maximo cleared his throat.

"I need to speak with you." Alex raised a skeptical brow.

"What for?"

"It's about Grey.I have some information for you about him." Alex regarded him for a moment as if he couldn't quite believe it.

"Come with me," he muttered, turned around, and walked inside.

Maximo followed him.

In the next few minutes, they were sitting opposite each other.

Alex poured himself a glass of alcohol.

"What about Grey did you want to tell me that made you come to my place so early this morning?"

Maximo released a sigh.

"After you called me about him.I decided to make a little investigation.I mean would Grey really be in this place without coming to see me?"Alex raised a brow and watched him.

"You said Grey was dead.Well, I didn't know that and he could have come over to me if he really was the one."

"So, what's your conclusion? That my men were lying?" Maximo shrugged briefly.

"I don't know about that, Alex but what I do know was that I found him.I found someone that looks like him."

"What?"

Alex felt alarmed.

"Is this supposed to be a play? Are you trying to play on my intelligence?"

"Does this look like a play to you? Would I come to your place so early in the morning just to play on your intelligence?"

Alex's eyes tightened on him.

"Tell me more."

"He seemed to be running.I don't know why or what his motive was but he was really on the way to the airport.My men traced him there before he disappeared again."

"How many men did you send after him?"

"Ten, I think.His location came suddenly and I didn't have the time to inform the other men."Alex regarded him for a moment before he burst out laughing.

"Are you kidding me? Are you saying ten men couldn't capture a single man? Do you think I'm a fool? You don't think I would know that you let him go on purpose?"

"Why will I do that? Even though I don't like you, I wouldn't want to get on your bad side.Besides, I have no idea who this man really is, except for the fact that he owns some shares in my company.And I don't really know how he escaped but he really did.The man seemed to know every hook and corner of this street," he explained.

Alex clenched his teeth in concentration.

"Did you send your men to this place last night?"

Maximo relaxed at this, a smile almost coming up to his face.It looked like the plan was really working.

"I couldn't take any chances.I had to search every part of the city to confirm your allegations because initially, I wasn't believing it."
