CHAPTER 61
Chapter 61: Speak with Hercules
Grey ordered a lot of food. He wasn’t going to pay a dime for it anyways, he was going to use his membership card
Maria was more than shocked and she kept stealing glances al Grey. And she kept wondering who Grey reaWy was Well, she suddenly started to have respect and admiration for him.
Grey’s phone rang suddenly and it was Charles. He ignored it. Il stopped ringing only for it to start ringing again This time around, it was Aphrodite.
Maria looked up at Grey.” Is everything alright?
Grey smiled, “Yes, everything is fine. I just need to use the toilet. I will be back in a jiffy,” he stood up quickly and went into the toilet
The phone was still ringing and he picked it up immediately
“Hello, Novia’
“Grey! You couldn’t call me! She complained,
Grey sighed. I’m sorry Novia I’ve been so occupied since you left”
Aphrodite chuckled.” You know that I can never get upset at you. I was just worried and well, I’ve been so busy as well
“So, when are you coming back?
Aphrodite went silent for a moment as she thought about Grey’s question, “Well, maybe in four months I’m so occupied with some companies here Do you know that there’s your father’s company in 11aly?”
Grey was shocked. My father has a company in Italy?
“A very wide one at that I think what your father was trying to do before he died was to make sure he has a company in all the countries Maybe that was why he was targeted,’ she announced and Grey’s heart made a sudden thud.
“Do you guys find anything about the murderer of my father?” Grey was so curious
Aphrodite went silent for a moment. – What Grey, your father wasn’t killed. He died in a car accident The car blew up and burnt him,” she explained
Grey went into another shock. He could still see the image so clearly, he could still remember it as if it happened the day before.
The men came out of nowhere It turned out to be Charles father and he shot his father
Grey clenched his teeth.”Luciano was in the car Why didn’t he die?
“Well, according to what I heard, it was the same reason as to why you didn’t die Have you forgotten you were in the same car with Luciano?”
“Nonsense!” Grey protested angrily. ‘My father was killed. He didn’t die in a car accident,”
What’Aphrodite yelled, shocked as well. ” What do you mean he was killed? The car exploded! He was burnt!”
1 know what I’m saying, Novia I was there I saw what happened before I lost consciousness, Grey affirmed
Aphrodiie weni silent again She was obviously thinking of what Grey had just told her,
“Who killed him then? Did you see the face of the murderer?”
Grey went still for a moment, as he contemplated if it was right to alert the elders or not. They were currently trying to find Giovanni’s spy. It would be too much to handle, especially for Charles if his father’s sin came into existence.
Not until Grey thought of what to do, he would keep the secret between him and Charles. He would watch Charles and see if he was trustworthy or just like his father. No innocent man would suffer.
“No, I didn’t see the face. He was so far away but I know that he shot me as well.”
Aphrodite let out a sigh. Don’t worry, the elders will handle this. We are currently looking for the spy. I’m sure we will find something by then,” she assured.
Grey nodded even though she couldn’t see him. “Yes, I think we need to concentrate on that.”
“But do you think the spy would be someone old or young? I mean it’s already been ten years since the death of my father,” Novia wondered aloud,
Grey thought for another moment. We can’t say. He might even be someone so close to us,” he muttered, “I’m sure we will fish him out soon.”
” Yes! That’s right. That aside, I have a piece of news for you,” she announced and her tone changed from a sad one to a happy one
“Yes, what’s it?” Grey urged softly
“So, I found the Patek Philippe watch in Italy. It has always been your favorite, remember?” owns all content.
Grey doesn’t really remember much from his childhood. The memories were only returning bit by bit and he knew that it would take a long time before he remembered them all.
“And this watch cost 11 million dollars. It’s one of the most expensive watches in the world. It’s stainless steel,” she announced happily.
Grey smiled.” That’s cool. You can bring it over for me when you are coming here. I will buy it from you.”
“No!” Aphrodite said quickly and laughed. “I’ve sent it over to my accessories shop. You should get it today. I’ve informed the manager that you are coming for it,” she voiced out
Grey laughed.” You are really outstanding. Novia. How do you plan all this? What if I had no time to go pick it up today?”
” Then, I will inform them, she laughed. ” But I only wanted to surprise you. Take the watch as a gift from me A gift to welcome you back in our midst, Hercules. A gift for a bright future!” She proclaimed
Grey laughed at this.” Thanks, Novia, I will get the watch today. I’m really grateful for this,” in return, he was already thinking of what he could get for her birthday. Novia shouldn’t be the only one sending gifts.
“Alright, take care. I have to go now. You know about the time difference,” she announced and the phone went off.
The phone started to ring almost immediately and it was Charles. Grey picked it up,
“Hi, Charles How was everything with Seth?”
“It was as we’d planned but Charles insisted I give him your phone number I think he believes I’m acting of my own volition.”
Grey laughed “Seriously? So, he would like to speak with Hercules?”
“Yes. Charles affirmed “I’ve not given it out but I want to ask you Should 1? Or not?”
Grey stared into space as he thought about it. What should he do?
