CHAPTER 220

Chapter 220: The dead among the living

Grey didn’t reply and instead, pressed on the accelerator. The road wasn’t that crowding and Grey overtook some of the cars until he arrived in a secluded place.

He pulled up and stared at Chloe. “Why did you send the letter?”

Chloe’s eyes went wide and dark with shock as she regards Grey for a moment It was at that moment that she noticed how handsome he actually looked, especially with his new hairstyle

Grey was the Hercules? The most richest and influential man but he pretended to be a lowly live-in son-in- law. And someone like her, who could not look at his face on a normal day, who could not afford the less expensive thing in his house abused him.

It was all more reason that he would want to kill her And well, the funniest thing about it was that no one might press charges. Hercules wasn’t only the richest, he was a mafia boss

“Answer me, Chloe. You didn’t think I would get it’s you? How did you even get to know about Caramel’s kidnap? Were you stalking me? Did Giovanni send you? And how did you get to find out where Caramel was?” He asked in a deep voice

Chloe released a sigh. “I will answer your questions but can you take it slowly? You are going to kill me, I know but I will tell you everything you want to know,” she said sincerely

“I came to your company that day. I mean you should remember because you paid for my room and even ordered for me,” she explained.

Grey nodded briefly. He remembered vividly. He actually saw her when he entered the suites. And since she didn’t want to come forward for her phone, Grey decided to repay her in another way.

“And I saw your friends talk about Caramel’s disappearance before they entered the special room. Well, I didn’t hear much but I heard Hattie and I just had to join the figure together. I didn’t understand at first,” she looked away as if trying to remember it all. “Then, I tried to contact Caramel. When I couldn’t, I knew my intuition was right. So, I visited Hattie ”

Grey raised confused brows at her.” You did?”

Chloe nodded briefly. “I was able to get where Caramel was. I was a model. So, I was very close to her and others. So, I sent you this letter to inform you about it. I didn’t know if Hattie had spies around me. So, I didn’t want to step forward,” she revealed.

Grey regarded her for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “So, who do you work for?”

Chloe shook her head. “I don’t work for anyone.”

“Then, why did you help me?”

Chloe thought for a moment. “To repay you for forgiving me. I was able to save my job, thanks to you. So, I decided to repay you,” she expressed truthfully.

Grey pulled back and went silent for a moment.

Chloe was still looking at him. “Are you really going to kill me?”

Grey shook his head briefly.” If my elders know about this, you will die. So, try your best to keep your mouth sealed. No one must hear of this, not even Avery or Caramel.”

Chloe had this shocked look on her face. Caramel doesn’t know?”

Grey nodded once. “I’m only going to let you go because you helped me concerning Caramel but I will

still be watching you. If you fumble, you will die. Is that clear?”

“Y_yes boss!” She stammered, fear overwhelming her.

“Great, I will take you back to the hall then,” he took the mask and wore it.

Chloe wanted to say a lot of things. In fact, she wanted to ask him why he was hiding his identity but she couldn’t dare talk. So, she kept mute as Grey took a U-turn and drove towards the hall.

Grey let Chloe get down before he decided to look for a parking space for his car.

He walked out of the car and locked it. Just as he turned around, he stopped immediately as his eyes centered on a man that was also watching him from afar.

It wasn’t just any man, it was Leo.

Grey couldn’t move for a moment as he continued to stare at Leo. Leo was also watching him as if he couldn’t guess who was staring at him. It must have been because of the mask.

And suddenly, Leo started moving towards the entrance of the hall.

Grey hurried towards him but he was near the door.

Before Grey could reach the hall, he had entered and mixed with the guest. His gaze searched around quickly as his blood boiled with anger.

Frustration reeled his eyes as he searched everywhere for him. He wasn’t sure the other day he saw Leo but he was damn sure this time that it was Leo. He couldn’t have hallucinated about him.

Charles and Richard hurried towards Grey. “Boss!” They chorused at the same time. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Grey ignored them and entered the hall, with his gaze still searching around for Leo. When he couldn’t find him, he moved closer to where the elders were.

“You didn’t see him?”

Everyone raised skeptical brows at him.

“See who?” It was Alfred that spoke.

“I saw Leo enter this hall. You guys didn’t see him?” He was getting even more frustrated.

“What?” Charles stressed, confused. “My dead father?

Grey looked at her “Fuck! Yes! That was what I said! I saw your dead father!” His voice raised slightly and Charles jerked backward

Thank goodness for the music playing or it might have been a disaster.

“Calm down, Grey,” Alfred soothed “Wait, let’s calm down and discuss this. You saw Leo or do you think you did?” He was doubtful.

Grey tried to calm down. Well, he couldn’t believe it as well. There was no way he would be seeing a dead person Could Leo have been alive all these years? Why did he stay away from the elders? And

importantly, does Charles knows he was alive?

“I saw Leo enter the hall. I didn’t think, I really saw him,” he confirmed.

Everyone stared with eyes gone dark and wide with shock.
