CHAPTER 221
Chapter 221: Doubting Thomas
“What? He’s dead! That’s not possible! Charles uttered, clearly shocked as well
Grey looked at Charles for a moment, as a feeling of doubt overswept him Was he supposed to trust Charles at that moment?
“We will need to check the cameras It would definitely show there I will go and check it out You all should enjoy the rest of the party. It will end soon anyways Gregory muttered
Alfred nodded, affirming his words. You should calm down. I will send some men around the hall too so that we can see if he’s really around.”
#
*I will release some men inside the hall so that they can search around for us. You needn’t worry. Hercules. We have it in control,” Jayden mentioned
Grey nodded forcefully. “Alright, no problem then, he tried to breathe out and that was when he remembered that he left Caramel in the hall the other time
Alfred, Jayden, and Gregory walked away, to make the request they had promised
Grey’s gaze searched around again for Caramel but she was nowhere to be found An exasperated sigh escaped him as he moved away from the table
He rubbed his head in frustration as he continued to look around for Caramel His heart made a sudden
thud at the fact that she might have been kidnapped again, by Hattie
He walked towards the mini rooms to check if she was in any of them
Then, he walked out and decided to try the second door. The moment he opened the door was when he saw Alex and Caramel They didn’t notice him So, he decided to watch them for a while
“I’m not interested in whatever you have to say, Alex. It won’t even change the fact that you lied to me.” Caramel pointed an accusing finger at him. She was angry and it was evident in her voice and expression.
“Just calm down, Caramel Give me the chance to explain It’s not really my fault that I had to do it,” he explained.
Caramel regarded him for a moment. “I don’t care, Alex. I’m just not interested in anything you have to say and you can’t force it on me,” she finished and made to leave but Alex pulled her back.
“I sure will, Caramel. If I have to make you listen to me forcefully, then I will do so
Caramel huffed. “So, you are going to be using force now? Right, since that’s what you grew up to see ”
Alex sighed and slowly let her go. “I won’t stop bothering you until you eventually give me the opportunity. I’m sure you will eventually succumb and you will hear me out.”
Grey’s heart took on a sudden beat as he closed the door and walked back to the hall. He couldn’t stop thinking of the fact that Caramel might even end up dating Alex.
Well, Caramel doesn’t know that Beatrice works for Hercules. And she didn’t know that Hercules was Grey. So, nothing was stopping her from dating him. Content is property © .
And that was what Grey feared the most.
The back door opened eventually and Caramel walked in. Grey knew at that point that he had to make Caramel his before he lost her forever.
Alfred and Jayden returned.
“My men are all around the hall and they would give me feedback when they find him. His pictures have been distributed to their phones,” Alfred explained
“Same here,” Jayden uttered
The back door opened and Caramel walked inside. Instead of staying, she walked out of the hall and probably home.
Grey slowly let out a sigh and turned to look at Charles. “I need you to help me settle the bills”
Charles nodded. “No problem.”
Grey gave him the card and he walked away. Then, he turned to look at the elders “There’s something I didn’t tell you guys. Though, Charles knows about it”
“What’s it about?” Alfred inquired.
Grey let out a sigh. I saw the culprit that killed my father,” he revealed
Another round of surprises passed around.
“Who did?” Jayden was anxious.
“We will need to have this conversation elsewhere.” Alfred suggested
Everyone nodded in agreement.
A message entered Jayden’s phone He checked through and looked up at Grey “The boss was right, one of the men saw a man that looked like Leo,” he announced.
“Fuck! Who is really that?”
“He’s heading towards the door,” Jayden announced again.
Alfred’s phone rang suddenly and he picked it up immediately. “Yes, Gregory. Oh, you’ve seen him Alright, we will pin him.” He finished and hung up. “I think the party has ended already because it’s time to leave. I think you should meet with the members of the Billionaire club while we capture the man that looks like Leo.”
Grey doubted it. He instead believes it was Leo but he didn’t want to argue at that moment. So, he nodded briefly. “I will do that. Just make sure you capture him. He must not escape,” he warned softly.
Alfred nodded once. We will not let him escape,” he promised. He and the rest of the elders walk out of
the hall.
Richard stayed back.
Grey promised himself that he was going to deal with Charles if it was true that he knew of his father’s existence, if at all that was his father.
The members of the club moved towards Grey, with their godfather.
“We knew we made the right decision of making you the new president,” the godfather stated happily.” We are glad you are here.”
“Well, the pleasure is all mine,” Grey replied.
The members nodded happily.
“We will have our first meeting soon. The PRO will communicate with you as necessary because we wouldn’t want to be disturbing you too much,” Nicholas, one of the members said.
Sure, thanks and I will be waiting.”
The godfather must have done wonders because none of the members were talking about the mask.
‘I will be leaving soon, I have things to take care of,” Grey apologized.
The godfather nodded once. “No problem, the party has ended already,” he informed and the members walked away.
Giovanni, Alex, and Hattie moved closer.
“The mask fits you so well. I’m sure you are going to be wearing it forever,” Giovanni expressed in a sarcastic tone.
Grey laughed. “Maybe or maybe not. The likes of you should be worried to their bones,” he glanced at Richard.” Let’s go,” he said and walked out of the hall.
Alex stared behind him in hot anger. He was really angry that Hercules stole his chance with Caramel and he promised within himself to get back at him.
“So, he’s Grey?” Alex raised skeptical brows.
Hattie nodded briefly. “Your father discovered his real name,” she explained.
Alex didn’t know why Grey was so common. He remembered Caramel’s friend also bearing Grey.
He furrowed his brows for a moment and looked at Giovanni. “What’s his last name?”
