CHAPTER 248
Chapter 248: A game
Grey blinked once, then twice. He didn’t believe what he was hearing. “You saw Alex?” He had to act as though he was shocked.” And you gave him something? What could that be?”
Caramel looked away for some moment. “Alex asked me who your father was,” she said softly. “And he wanted me to get your strand of hair. Though, I have no idea what he was going to use it for.” She explained.
Grey raised skeptical brows and waited. “What? You didn’t give my hair to Alex? Whose hair is with him then?”
“One of my entourage,” she confessed.
Grey was shocked. “But why? Aren’t you as curious as Alex was?”
Caramel smiled softly. “I used to be but not anymore. Well, I know you will tell me everything when it’s time to.”
Grey smoothed her hair slowly, with a smile dancing on his face. “Thanks for trusting me, it really means a lot to me.” Be expressed deeply and tilted his head to kiss her.
David was still angry. He could t stop thinking about the embarrassment that Grey had cost him. If Grey hadn’t done what he did, Hercules wouldn’t have fired him.
He still planned to humiliate Grey with whatever he was able to do. He resumed the new branch that day and he was more than annoying. He wasn’t even able to concentrate.
He was going to think of a better way to get back at Grey.
Charles walked inside the living room. Grey was with Beatrice as Caramel left an hour ago. Grey had to force her to leave or she might decide to stay the night.
“Beatrice, good day,” he greeted as he moved nearer to them.
“Good day, Charles,” Beatrice responded with a smile before she walked out.
They were having wine.
Grey regarded him for a moment. “Is something wrong? You could have called me before coming over but you didn’t. Why?”
Charles hesitated to pull out his phone. He went through it for a moment before he walked closer and stretched it out. “I’ve found Todd’s best space,” he said.
Grey stared down at the picture of a fairly old man. He had a smile on his face and he looked a bit older than Giovanni. Though he was more handsome and he had this nice smile on his face.
“And he’s in here already. I thought you might want to see him in person. He’s a funny man that knows nothing but playing games,” Charles explained.
Grey raised his brows at him. “Games?”
Charles nodded briefly. “Card games. He’s familiar with card games and he never loses.”
Grey sighed. “I can’t play card games.”
Charles laughed. “You don’t need to be able to play it. You can just use it to speak with him. He loves
having new people to play the game with.”
Grey regarded him for a moment. “Alright. I will get dressed. I will leave with Richard, call him over.”
“Alright, I will watch you from afar.”
Grey nodded once. He gulped down the remaining content of his wine before he stood, “Call Jimmy over and tell him to bring everything I told him to do,” he finished and walked inside the room to change.
He had a quick shower and found one of the designer clothes to wear. He had slept and rested enough anyways, it was time to resume business.
Grey doesn’t even know all of Giovanni’s elders and he was going to dive into the details. He needed to know them and everything about them. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Grey walked down the stairs with a pair of black glasses on his face.
Richard was waiting for him in the room already.
“I will be taking my car. Richard and Jimmy should go with you in your car,” Charles suggested.
Grey nodded and looked at Jimmy. “What about the information I asked of you?”
Jimmy extended a file to him as they both walked inside the car.
Grey flipped through the file as the car moved toward the destination. He saw the information about Tiana was true. He was right. Tiana was telling him the truth and it was right that she believed her and let her go. She was going to be a nice asset to him.
“Fred is closer to Todd?”
Jimmy nodded briefly, he was in the passenger’s seat. “He used to be his right man. Then, something happened and he was on his own again. In fact, Todd had a huge argument with Fred and it almost resulted in a court case,” he explained.
Grey huffed. “Seriously? So, what was true? That Fred was spying on Grey because he wanted to be on Todd’s good side or because they didn’t even fight in the first place?”
There was something there that Grey didn’t really know about. But if he was really going to put his plan into use, then, he would definitely make use of him.
Fred would spread the news about him to his enemies. Eventually, he would be able to show up as Hercules and not in disguise.
Grey remembered something suddenly as the car pulled off in the garage. He looked at Richard. “Call Don, Richard, and ask him about Samson Katz. He would understand what I mean.”
Richard nodded briefly. “Alright, boss.”
Grey walked inside the club with Jimmy while Charles gave them space.
Grey’s gaze searched around quickly and found him. Todd was around the table with three men and yes, he was playing the card game.
There was a huge smile on his face as he pulled over the money he had won.
“That’s Todd?” Jimmy said suddenly.
Grey nodded briefly. “Do you know him?”
Jimmy nodded briefly. “Yes, he used to be one of Aubrey’s clients,” he revealed.
Grey nodded again and continued to watch Todd. He wasn’t surprised anyways because he knew how dirty Giovanni was. And well, it was only cool that his men were also like that.

“So, who is ready to play with me?” Todd asked suddenly, excitedly. “I will give the person two million dollars if he wins!” He laughed.
Grey smiled softly. He might not know how to play but he knows some tricks.
