Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Weakness

Grey barely pulled to a stop in front of Don’s house when Don and Richard hopped in.

“Good afternoon Boss,” they chorused at the same time.

Don sat in the passenger’s seat while Richard took the back seat. “Do you want me to drive?” Richard offered.

Grey shook his head and pulled out of the parkway in a rough way that Richard almost knocked his head at the front seat.

“That’s rough, Boss,” Richard complained.

“Seat belt, Richard. Why are there seatbelts?” Richard muttered. He was in fact in a hurry to meet with Lan.

The message Lan sent the day before indicated that they had just a few minutes to speak and he didn’t want to waste time. “So, start talking to Don,” he urged. “Ok, we have good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?” Don jibed. “Goodnews should come first.”

“So, Audrey’s family isn’t in the city. In fact, most people thought he had no family. Guess what?” Don said excitedly.” I realized he’s trying to keep his family off his dirty business,” he revealed.

“Yes,” Richard chimed in. “I got some special information that he had a visitor this month but they had to leave the city immediately. Audrey must have forced them to leave. He must have been scared that others might find out,” he explained.

Grey nodded once.” That’s typical of him. For someone who holds another family hostage, he must have been scared of karma,” he muttered as he drove off the street, into a secluded road.

“And the bad news,” Don sighed. “We couldn’t find any traces of them. It was like they vanished into thin air. We could fish them out but I don’t think we would be able to fit into the quick plan,” he hinted. Grey thought for a moment.” Any hideout that belongs to Audrey?” “Yes,” Richard took it up immediately.” Audrey makes deals in his house’s

basement. Who knows what more goes on there.”

Grey nodded once.” That’s great. We have a place to check then.”

“But his family flew out already. They won’t be in the basement,” Don complained. “Yes,” he pulled to a stop suddenly in a clearing “We are not looking for his family, we are looking for Lan’s family,” he announced “But why are we stopping?” Richard asked, bewildered.

“Well,” Grey shrugged slightly. “We are here,” he declared.

The door of the back seat opened suddenly and Lan entered. “Drive please” Grey started the ignition and sped out of the vicinity until they were on the safer

ground again.

“We came here for Lan?” Richard asked, amazed.

“Yes, do you think we came here to drink?” Grey questioned and craned his head, turning his body slightly so as to look at Lan “How are you doing?” “I’m fine. Actually, I was able to get the reason for Audrey and Giovanni’s meeting yesterday.” “What!” Don exclaimed.” Audrey met with Giovanni?” “Yes,” Lan affirmed.” Hercules has always been Giovanni’s enemy but it still seems the same. And now, he’s overjoyed that he’s going to get your weakness soon,” he revealed.

Grey nodded and turned away.” I knew that would happen anyways.”

“Audrey already told him that he had seen you and he made a deal with Giovanni. Though I didn’t get what the deal was about, I know that Audrey would lay a trap for you soon,” Lan hinted. Grey let out a sigh.” Thanks, Lan. You can inform me if you have other information.”

Lan nodded once, with a smile. Just as he was about to open the door, he looked at Grey. “What about Naomi?” Grey raised skeptical brows. “Naomi?” “That’s the name of my wife. Belle is my daughter’s name,” he said softly with a voice laced with sadness. Any information about them?” There was hope in his eyes and Grey didn’t want to shatter them.

“Soon, Lan. I will find them soon. I promised you, didn’t I?”

Lan smiled.” I believe you,” he muttered and got out of the car. “Oh, that reminds me,” Grey said quickly as Lan turned to walk away. “What do you mean by what you said the other time?”

“Oh, about what Audrey did to me?” Grey nodded and Lan smiled again.” Audrey is a tricky man. He had it all planned out. Most of the men working for him are doing it with force. We all have our weaknesses with him. Audrey knew what he was doing and so, doesn’t let us see them,” he explained. “So, only a few of his men are working for him willingly?” Don inquired.

Lan nodded once.” Exactly. I have to go now. I should not extend my limit.”

Grey nodded once.” You can leave then but do you know what the trap will be?”

Lan regarded him for a moment.” They are going to use one of your men against you. Perhaps, they would lure you forcefully or maybe deceive you. Since it’s Audrey that knows what you look like, he has to be the one to do it,” he explained.

Grey nodded once.” Bye for now then.”

Lan took a short bow and turned around. Grey watched him for a moment before he drove out of the vicinity.

“Does Audrey think you are foolish? How would he be able to force you out?” Richard jibed. “He must have a perfect plan for it. We must not underestimate his power but does anyone here know Giovanni’s weakness?” Grey stated. “The visible one that we know is almost similar to yours,” Don stated.

Grey glanced at him.” What do you mean?”

“Just as you won’t reveal your identity, Giovanni is also keeping his successor’s identity a secret,” Don announced.

“What?” Grey was shocked. “Yes, no one knows or has seen his son. Everyone has been curious about this but it seems like Giovanni is up to something. He could even be the spy you have been looking for,” Richard said quickly. Grey thought for a moment.” And he is just looking for me as well. That’s why Giovanni is so eager for Audrey’s news.” “What are you going to do about Lan?” Don inquired. “Tell me about Giovanni. What type of person is he?” He asked, ignoring Don’s remark.

“Why do you ask?”

“Is there a way a notorious criminal son wouldn’t take his father’s traits?” Grey smiled softly.” We will get Giovanni’s weakness and use it against him.”
