CHAPTER 106
Chapter 106: Where’s Leo It was impossible, could the death have come alive? Grey found it strange to even imagine it. Alas! Behold, it was Leo, Charles’ father. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Even after he closed and opened his eyes, he saw the man as he turned around and started towards the elevator. Grey hurried closer to him. If it was true and Leo was alive, then, he must speak with him. He must ask him why he killed his father and attempted to take his life as well.
One of the maids pulling a serving tray rushed out from the room beside Grey, obstructing him for a moment. When Grey reached the elevator, he saw that Leo had taken the ride to the last floor.
Greg rushed to the second elevator as well. His heart was thumping madly in his chest.
He made a calculation, a hard thought at why Leo would be alive and the elders wouldn’t know about it.
Alfred told him that he died in the accident. Even though, he knew that it wasn’t an accident and something fishy was actually happening somewhere.
Damn, he needed to find out. The moment the elevator door opened, Grey hurried out and moved to the second elevator, only to discover it was going up. It seemed like Leo had walked out of it. Grey grunted and turned around, his eyes searching for Leo. He sighed with frustration when he saw lots of people moving around the restaurant. Just then, he caught the glimpse of that familiar clothes, the ones that Leo was wearing earlier when he saw him. Grey released a sigh and dashed closer to him. His phone rang suddenly, and he stopped unconsciously to retrieve it. It was Lan. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Grey’s heart made a sudden thud. If Lan was calling him at that time, then it must be very important. When Grey looked up again, the man was gone. He sighed with frustration and raked his fingers through his hair. Why must Lan call at a such a bad time?
He hurried out of the restaurant anyway since he still needed to pick up Lan’s call.
When he got into the car, the phone had stopped ringing. Grey waited for his call. It didn’t take up to a minute before Lan called back and Grey picked up immediately. “Hello Lan, how are you doing?” “Fine but I’m in a tight place. I just had to get you this news,” he revealed.
“Alright, I appreciate that. And, shoot,” he encouraged. “Alright. So, Audrey is currently speaking with Giovanni. I think he’s planning to betray you. I don’t have the details right now as only Jude was allowed entrance. But I will gather as much information as I can and give your feedback later,” he announced. He knew that Audrey was likely to take such steps. He didn’t even disappoint him.

“Where should I send the pizza to?” “Home, at Audrey’s place. I will call you before you do so,” he pointed out.
Grey nodded once.” Before you go, I want to ask you something. Do you perhaps have any idea where your family might be?”
Lan went silent for a while as if thinking about it.” Some of the men think they aren’t in the city currently.”
“You mean Audrey has flown them out of the country? Is that even possible?”
“I don’t think it’s right anyways. I mean my wife and daughter don’t have what it takes to travel out of the country. Same as some of the men,” he explained. Grey’s head made a thud as the words sank in.” Are you saying it’s not only you? Did Audrey take the family of the others?” There was a reshuffling. “I will call you back. I have to go now,” he notified and hung up immediately.
Grey sighed and got down of the car. He hesitated, thinking back to the man that resembled Leo. If he had caught up with him, it would have been easy for him to realize who he really was. Then, he
wondered if Charles knew something about it. Definitely, he would. If his father was really alive, then he would.
Grey didn’t know if Leo didn’t recognize him when he stared at him the other time but he stared hard enough. What if he was the one? What was he even saying? He saw the man and the similarities he displayed with
Leo.
A headache set in suddenly. Grey knew he had to head home.
He hurried back to the restaurant and handed over his black membership card as a payment for the orders.
After that, he went to the room and signaled Maria closer to him. “Boss, is everything alright?” Maria noticed the worried expression on his face. Even though she was smiling, it soon transformed into a frown after she saw the expression on his face.
“Just a headache. I think I should go home. Meanwhile, I paid for the order. You guys can have fun,” he declared,
Maria observed him for a moment. “Do you want me to get something for you?” Grey shook his head previously. “No, I’m fine. I will pass. See you at work tomorrow.”
“Alright, boss,” she took a short bow.
Grey let out a sigh as he stepped into his car. Just as he started the car, a destination slipped into his mind. He took his phone immediately and dialed Charles’ line. It took a while before he answered.
“Where are you currently?” He didn’t even go through with exchanging pleasantries. He just didn’t have the time for it.
“In the city, why?” “I need to see you right away. Send your address to me,” he ordered and hung up without waiting for his feedback. A message popped up on his phone as he pulled out into the street. Grey went on full speed, his mind was reeling. He had questions. He needed answers.
A car was moving slowly in front of him and Grey overtook it, pressing even harder on the accelerator. Grey soon pulled up in front of the mansion that must have belonged to Leo
seeing it was an old design, though still in Vogue. Grey sent him a message to tell him that he was outside before he stepped out of the car. The gate automatically withdrew on its own and Grey stepped inside, his fists
clenched beside him.
He walked to the front door. However, the door opened before he would get there.
“Grey!” Charles called with a wide smile on his face. Grey wore the same dark expression he had been having. “Where’s Leo?” His voice was deep.
Charles’s smile vanished slowly.” What do you mean?”
“You heard me, Charles. Where is your father? Where’s Leo?” Charles’s eyes went wide and dark with shock.
