CHAPTER 486: TRUST ISSUE 

Chapter 486: Trust issue

When Grey returned home, Aphrodite was already asleep.He regarded her for a moment with a huge smile on his face before he moved closer to her and planted a kiss on her cheek.He walked out of the room again and placed a call to Maximo.

Maximo picked it up before the end of the first ringing.

"Hi, Grey."

"I was going to discuss the next plan with you, Maximo.As you've heard, the special members have decided to work with me.The next thing I’m planning to do is lure Alex back to Jacksonville.Remember what we discussed?"

‘Very well, but are you going to actually take a plane to Jacksonville?"

Grey reasoned it for a moment.

"No, it shouldn't be me.Yet, I have to make it look like it was.Charles will do just fine.But yes, where will the announcement take place? How does it work?"

"Well, the place of the announcement is chosen randomly.The place will be communicated soon.At least, by tomorrow."

"This means that the special members will have to leave Italy tomorrow?"

Grey nodded once.

"We have to make sure the announcement is made in Jacksonville.It will make things easier for us.So, that means I would be going to Jacksonville as well for the announcement."

"Alright, when do you want this plan to go into place?" Grey reasoned it for a moment.

"It had to be the same day that I would be going back to Jacksonville as well because Giovanni might be banning the entrance to Jacksonville on the day of the announcement."

"Yes, that’s right.We could divert his attention that day.So, he would be focused on the one that Charles is in and won't know that I was in the other plane."

"That's the idea.So, find a great day for your return and message me.You don’t need to call me.I will get your message and act on it," he assured.

Grey released a sigh.

"Alright, talk to you later then," he finished and the line went off.

The fight was almost coming to an end.It would soon be easy for Grey.He would bring Giovanni down with the blow and ensure that Alex stayed right in prison.

Avery sank into the chair, a bit tired.She had dressed to the nine, thinking Grey would notice her but that didn’t seem to be the case.He seemed to be worried about something else that she couldn't figure out.

She took out the business card that she got that morning and dialed the number.It rang severally before a voice boomed from the other side.

"Hello."

"Hello, good evening.This is Avery, the lady you gave your business card to this morning.You told me to call you later," she explained.

"Oh yes, I remember.Miss Avery?"

"Yes.Is there a day you would be less busy to communicate with me? So I could tell you what you need to know to invest in my business?"

"Sure, let’s discuss tomorrow.I will be available by nine tomorrow, you can come and see me."

Avery was overjoyed.

"Thank you so very much.I will come over.I really appreciate it."

"Alright, goodnight." The line went off.

Avery whooped with delight.She was so happy by the news.

The only thing she would have to do was discuss with David about Charles.She placed a call to David.He picked it up almost immediately.

"It’s so late in the night.Why are you calling, Avery?"

"One of our potential investors wants me to meet with him by 9 tomorrow morning.So, you need to pick me up earlier.We can't afford to keep them waiting or can we?"

Grey released a sigh.

"Alright, I will pick you up by eight tomorrow."

"Nice.Don't be late, David.Goodnight," she finished and hung up.

She was a bit annoyed at the fact that David always seem offended.It was as if he didn’t like her.

Well, she would get the answer soon.

"What the fuck are you still doing, Richard.You are taking forever at this point.What's happening?"

Richard released a sigh.

"I told you, Giovanni, that I only found out the recipe.I have to work hard to get how it works.I've been testing it out on different people and I’m just not able to get the real steps." Giovanni grunted.

"For how long, Richard? I'm running out of patience already.I need this so much and you know that."

"I know and I’m working towards it.I just need time and maybe some help.I’m the only one working my butt out and I'm getting tired.I need someone to assist me.If that can happen, I’m sure I will be able to test every ingredient so fast and eventually arrive at an answer," he explained.

Giovanni groaned.

"Alright.I will communicate with some scientists that we can work with and get back to you.If you want extra hands, you will get them.Just finish up in time!"

He stood.

"I'm really running out of patience.I thought this could work before the announcement.I thought I could make use of its power but it turned out the opposite.I will have to develop a new plan."

Richard stood up.

"I'm sorry, Giovanni but this isn’t my fault.I'm working twice as hard but the results just aren't showing.Do you even remember the number of people whose lives have been lost in this? Well, I lost count already.This should show you how hard I’m working," he explained.

Giovanni nodded once.

"Alright.But I want you to double your hustle.If I don’t use this during the announcement, there will still be plenty of things to use it for."

"Alright," Richard nodded once. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Just get me the extra hands.I will deal with the rest.And don’t forget that I need more people to experiment on.Also, I need to clear my head and go to the club tonight.I've been working too hard all these days."

Giovanni nodded once.

"I will be at the club too.Have a day off while I get what you want," he muttered and stepped out of the room.

One of his men moved closer to him.

"Spy on Richard and report each of his details to me.I need to know if he's still on my side or not.He could have gotten the formula for the recipe but just lying for his benefit."
