Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 303

Chapter 303: Accepted invitation

Grey heart filled with gladness. 'You are awake!" He announced loudly.

Two men rushed inside at the voice.

"Is everything alright?" one of the men asked.

Grey turned to look at them. "Get the doctor immediately!" He yelled the order at them.

The men scampered out of the room while Grey turned towards Charles again.

He was glad to see him like he felt his spirit leap for joy.

"I thought I was dead when I woke up early but when I saw you, I got confused. I mean you weren't dead, so there was no way I would be seeing you," a smile spread across his face.

"You were fast. I was going to come and get you," Grey teased, a smile forming on his lips.

Charles tried to laugh because of the words but he started coughing. ‘Take it, easy man, I just woke up."

Grey smiled.

"I'm glad you are better. I'm so happy to see you again."

Charles nodded briefly. "Me too. But did something happen?"

Grey shook his head briefly. He didn't want to bother him. "It's ok. It's nothing to be bothered about."

Charles nodded again but looked away. "What's going to happen to my father?"

Alex was impatiently waiting for feedback. He heard everything that happened the day Hattie was killed rather too late. But it was a blessing that he found out where he was admitted to.

He didn't know all the facts actually because unfortunately for them, they currently have no spy with Hercules but he confirmed the fact that Charles lies in the hospital, half dead.

And he just sent someone to kill him. He needed to kill one of Grey and let him feel more pain. It was more like payback for killing Hattie.

Though He and his father have agreed to call in another mafia boss from oversea but he wanted to do something before his arrival.

He wanted to show Grey not to mess with him.

The door opened suddenly and the men he had sent over to the hospital walked inside. He slowly pulled off the hood and Alex saw that he was bruised and had blood all over his face.

Alex regarded her for a moment. "What happened? Is he dead?" He asked, sitting up.

The man went quiet for a moment as if he was gathering his thoughts. "I failed," he muttered.

"What!" Alex got up in anger. "Why did you just say? I mean how did it happen? It was supposed to go perfectly! The plan was great!" He yelled in frustration.

Alex had planned with some nurses and he made sure that the men staying guard in front of Charles's room would be able to leave for a few minutes. It wasn't supposed to be a failure.

"Yes, you were right. It was supposed to be a success but well, someone stopped me," he hinted and cast his face downward in shame. He had to run for his life. Maybe he would have been dead if he didn't do something like that.

"Who? No one was supposed to be in that room before you finished your job! And you didn’t even have to do much! You were just supposed to inject him with poison! How hard was that?" He said with fury.

The man bowed slightly. "I'm sorry, boss."

"Sorry for yourself!" Alex yelled. His muscles came out as he grew more furious that he kicked the table beside him. He tried to relax because it was so annoying that he lost a great opportunity to murder Grey's left hand. He relaxed eventually after a while.

"Who? Who intruded?"

"I don't know but Charles called him Grey. That was before I took off," he exposed.

"Grey?" Alex raised skeptical brows. "Grey was there?"

The man nodded briefly. "He was very swift and skilled. I couldn't take him down," he explained. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Alex hit his face slightly. He knew it anyways. He knew how powerful Grey was. Not just anyone can take him down. He was equally skilled. Though, Alex doesn't know who would have won if he and Grey fought.

He turned around and walked to the bar. "How could he have been there at the right time?" He took the wine and was about to pour some of the content into the cup when he stopped suddenly.

"Wait a moment, Charles is awake?"

"Yes boss, he is."

Alex couldn't move for a moment as his fingers tightened the more around the bottle. He yelled out suddenly and threw the bottle against the wall.

The plan had been thwarted. There was nothing he could do again.

Back at Alfred's house, Gregory bowed for Grey. "I'm sorry, Hercules. I mean if you had listened to me, Charles would have been dead."

Alfred sighed. Gregory had filled him in about what had happened. "This is why he’s Hercules and why you must let him do whatever he wants."

Gregory looked at Alfred. "Don't act as if you don’t know what I'm trying to solve. Grey is trying to act without thinking. Maybe we need to announce publicly that he’s Hercules so that we can have men around him already," he explained.

Grey smiled softly. "I'm done for now. But that doesn't mean I won't kill if I have to."

"But come to think of it, why isn't there any news around about Hercules? I mean if Giovanni knows about Grey already, then we should have heard the news or seen some around Grey. Why isn't he saying anything?" Jayden asked curiously.

Gregory shrugged slightly as he goes to his seat. "Maybe he's finally thinking."

"Or maybe something has happened," Aphrodite said quickly. "Something must have happened or he wouldn’t have done something like that. I’m sure of it."

Alfred released a sigh. ‘That's right. Something must have really happened or Giovanni wouldn't have tried to kill Charles."

All the elders looked at Alfred the moment the words had left his mouth.

"What! Someone tried to kill Charles?" Luciano questioned with shock.

Grey nodded briefly. "Which only means that Giovanni has finally accepted my invite to play Chess with me."
