CHAPTER 136
Chapter 136: Break down “Should I let them do their work? Or am I supposed to call them?” Grey inquired as they settled down. He brought Aphrodite to a nearby restaurant. They were in a VIP suite, so they had the chance to discuss anything without getting spied on Aphrodite took from the Cajun Shrimp and Chicken pasta in front of her and chewed silently.” I think we should let them do their work. Even if you would be calling, then I think the elders should be aware. They should decide if you should go for it or not, “she advised. Grey regarded her for a moment.” Isn’t this my inheritance? Why do I have to involve the elders?”
Aphrodite looked up.” Because it doesn’t only have to do with the shoe companies. There are other mafia bosses involved in it. You do know that Italy is the home of the mafia. And I guess your father hailed from there,” she hinted.
“How many shareholders?”
“I think three. However, Hercules has spread beyond. So, if you are really in partnership with these people, you would easily win the next award.”
Grey laughed and chewed silently.” Did you say Award?”
Aphrodite nodded quickly, took a cup of water, and sipped slowly.” Giovanni won two awards last year and three years ago. It has been difficult with Charles,” she explained. “What awards are those by the way?”
“The businessman and the wealthiest.”
Grey smiled and continued to eat. It was at that moment that he wondered if Avery had gotten the money that he sent her. He didn’t want her to start thinking about how he got the money, so he sent it anonymously.
At least, she could use it quickly before grandfather Lucy would discover the situation of things.
He didn’t need her to be grateful to him. He didn’t even do it because of it. He just wanted to help and well, he was starting to get familiar with staying in the shadow of a poor man even though he had the money to buy a lot of people.
“You should laste Italian Grill, chicken Bryan when you come to Italy.” Aphrodite said suddenly, jerking, Grey out of his thoughts.
He smiled, hoping everything would turn out the way that he wanted it to.
“Do you know about Hattie?”
Aphrodite pulled to a stop suddenly. “Hattie Maxwell?” She asked, shocked.
Grey nodded briefly. “How was she? I heard she was always getting awards.”
Aphrodite nodded once.” She took the wealthiest and businesswoman. She’s the most crafty woman I have ever known,” she stressed.
“Seriously?” Grey raised a brow.
“Well, she took after Giovanni. She’s his aunt. A very crafty and proud woman,” she noted angrily Grey regarded her for a moment.” You look angry.”
“I mean this woman has been having these awards for years. Was she really wealthy? I highly doubt it. She could have been bringing some of the judges. I mean everything changed for her ever since Giovanni took over the business world. He’s the leading king of the city,” she revealed, a bit disturbed.” This was all because your father died,” she expressed sadly.
“You seem to know a lot of things about my father,” Grey laughed sadly. It was painful that he didn’t know much about his father. He didn’t even know much about his parents.
Aphrodite smiled. “Yes, I do. I heard a lot from my mother before she passed away. Your father had never given Giovanni the chance to take the awards from him but from the moment he died, Giovanni has been shining so bright.”
Grey’s face squeezed unconsciously. Was it Giovanni that killed his father? Was it the one that sent Leo? It doesn’t make sense anyways. Leo wouldn’t have worked with Gio, it was very impossible.
“Seriously?”
“Yes,” Aphrodite relaxed in her chair. “It was as if Giovanni was anticipating your father’s death. He took the awards from him the following year to this point. You seriously need to get the awards from him this year. You should get back your father’s awards,” she muttered.
Grey nodded once. “I will, it’s business after all.”
Aphrodite nodded as well. “And with the shoe company, you would be able to attain the highest position. Giovanni has always been the king of the cities but you will be the king of the world. It’s what belongs to you anyways,” she declared.
Grey continued to eat. “When are you returning to Italy?”
Aphrodite thought for a moment. “In a week. I will phone Alfred and discuss with him so that we can schedule our meeting as early as possible.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Grey nodded once.” That’s great. So, what do you know about Giovanni’s son?”
Aphrodite looked up again and finally pushed the plate aside.” That’s another question, Grey. He’s adopting our method. That’s why I said they are so crafty. And something kept telling me he was plotting something. There was no other way to explain why he would hide his son’s identity,” she pointed out. “And you guys haven’t gotten any hints these days?” “Not even one. I sincerely don’t have a guess,” Aphrodite agreed.” Alfred thinks he could be the spy we have been looking for. The sad thing about this is that we would never be able to fish him out because we don’t even know what he looks like,” she explained.
Grey relaxed back in his chair. “Do you know who Pablo is then? Have you seen what he looks like?
“Pablo?” Aphrodite looked confused. ” Who is that?”
Grey smiled.” That’s why you guys haven’t seen Giovanni’s son. You will never do it unless you go to his clubs or bar. There’s no way he would be able to stop going to his father’s bar or
clubs.”
A flicker of emotion passed through Aphrodite’s eyes. “You are right in that aspect.”
Grey chuckled.” Of course, I am right. Now, here’s it. I thought I was going to tell you guys together but there’s no harm in letting you know beforehand. I’ve found out who Giovanni’s son is.”
Aphrodite’s eyes went wide with excitement.” Seriously?” Grey nodded once and moved nearer as if he didn’t want anyone else to hear what he was about to say as if there was anyone around. “We need to find Pablo. We will know who Giovanni’s son is after we found Pablo,” he relaxed back in his chair. “If my guess is correct, then Pablo is Giovanni’s son.”
