Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Bursted Grey sighed as he read through the text. “So, I want you all to keep on watching. I will inform you whenever I have plans on finding Lan’s family,” Grey informed them.” Don should do what he had said concerning Pete while Richard should get a pizza to Lan,” he ordered. ” Yes boss,” they chorused at the same time.

Grey picked up his phone and dialed Alfred’s line. “You are both dismissed then.”

The two men in the back seat bowed slightly and got out of the car. It took a while before Alfred picked up. “Grey,” he said softly. “Richard told me everything and you’ve been so busy. When can we see?” Grey thought for another moment.” Tomorrow morning. I will come over to your place after I left the police station.” “Why are you going to the police?” He asked, surprised.

“Long story, Alfred but I will tell you about it tomorrow morning,” he promised. Alfred let out a sigh. “Alright, I will wait for you at home.” “Thanks,” Grey muttered and hung up.

When he pulled off at the front yard, he felt even tired. He couldn’t stop thinking of a way to find Lan’s family. Unfortunately for him, the solution refused to come to light. And he couldn’t take it lightly, who knows, they could be in danger. When he stepped inside the room, he noticed the strangeness in the air. It didn’t take long before he realized what was happening. Avery wasn’t in the room. It was already late in the night. If she wasn’t in the room, then it only meant she wasn’t even at home.

Where the heck was she?

Grey dialed her number immediately. It rang severally but she didn’t pick up and it kind of frustrated him.

He decided to go out in search of her, perhaps she was close by or something. The door opened before he could even walk to the door and Avery walked inside. “Where have you been, Grey?” She asked. Grey regarded her for a moment.” I should be the one asking that question. You are the one just coming in,” he reminded her.

Avery huffed. ” We are not married, remember? I can be with anyone I desire to be with,” she stressed.

Grey observed her for a moment and awareness sank in.” Were you with Chris?” Avery chuckled. “And so? You didn’t give me a ring anyways.” Grey knew that Chris was trying something very stupid and he planned to outsmart him.

Seth took a bottle of champagne, his breathing was coming out faster than it initially was. He managed to drive back home but he had not been able to stay calm since then. He couldn’t stop thinking about the whole thing, especially with the fact that he played into Hercules’ hands. He actually thought Audrey was very capable. Seth looked at the envelope on the table. It was the envelope he saw in the bag that was supposed to contain one million dollars.

When Seth counted the money, it was only $350,000. He didn’t even know if he was supposed to be grateful for the money or not.

Seth gulped down the whole content of the wine in the cup and hit it against the wall angrily. The cup shattered and the glasses scattered on the floor. His phone started ringing suddenly, and his heart made a sudden thud. He initially thought it was Hercules but it was Nora.

Ok, he decided to elope with Nora and he planned for that to happen. And he promised to call her tonight but his head was just too hot at that moment. He couldn’t even wrap his head around what had just happened.

The phone stopped ringing, only for it to start ringing again. Seth groaned and finally decided to pick it up. Who knows what Nora might do? She might even decide to come over to his house that night.

“Hello, Nora.”

“Seth! Where have you been? I’ve been calling your line!” She was stressed and disturbed.

Seth took another cup and poured himself some wine. “I was in the shower. I was about to call when I heard the phone ringing,” he lied. Nora giggled. “I know, right? I’ve been expecting you. You said you had a surprise for me. So, what’s it about?” She asked excitedly.

Seth sighed.” I will come over to your place for that.” “Seriously?” Nora squealed, “You are coming over?” Nora was shocked and happy at the same time.

Seth absentmindedly twerked the cup. “I am, darling. I only have to take care of some things here. I will be at your place soon and I will be staying over there.”

“Ok, I will be waiting,” Nora responded calmly. She knew she had made it big with Seth and was planning to keep him at all costs. And with Seth’s new decision, Nora knew Seth was serious with her.

Seth felt the blade of his heart squeezed. He had a lot to do with his life anyways. He was supposed to worry about himself before he start worrying about someone else. “Ok, dear. I will talk to you later. I need to make this zoom call,” he lied and hung up. He gently placed the phone on the table, before he reached for the envelope. He had been staring at it for a moment. Perhaps, it was a letter bomb. He laughed and tore it. A note was inside. It read; you sold the company for One million dollars, Seth. So, I divided your percentage and gave it to you. Don’t worry, I made it fair. I had just 70% share. So, I gave you the remaining 30% shares and some extras. Don’t forget that the police will come knocking on your door soon. Bye, Hercules.’ What of Chris’ shares? Seth didn’t even want to think about it. He had initially thought he could give Chris his share after the sale of the company but what was he supposed to do at that moment? And there would be police coming after him. Seth had a hard time believing the police part but Audrey did mention the same thing. Though, he wondered why Hercules was involving the police. Somehow, he couldn’t stop thinking he had heard the words from somewhere else.

LLLL

Then suddenly, realization hit him so hard that he nearly fell. Grey Fox!.

At first, it didn’t make any sense but with the last confrontation, Seth found it very weird.

Grey told him that he was sending the police over the next morning. There was no way it would be a coincidence.

There was only one thing he could conclude at that moment. Could Grey know Hercules?

Yes! It was the only explanation. Grey did talk differently to him tonight. He was so brave and certain. But how the fuck was it possible? How could Grey know someone like Hercules?

Seth’s head banged so hard that he had to hold his hands over it.

He arose at once, with a scream. He took the bottle of champagne and threw it at the wall, shattering it. His head was brewing hot steam.

Seth did try to harm Grey, it was the only reason why Grey would send the police. If Hercules cares so much about him, what could he be?

An assistant to Hercules? Or what? The thought of it was driving him crazy but he knew he had to make a decision soon. No! He had to call Smith and let him know the situation.

He had to tell Smith that Grey was connected to Hercules somehow.

As much as he didn’t want to believe it, the facts were staring right at him.

He had to leave that night if he wished to leave the city successfully. It also meant that his plans with Nora had been thwarted.

He picked up this phone and dialed Smith’s number quickly, his heart was beating so fast and his blood was boiling with anger. Just why didn’t he think of it earlier?
