Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 358

Chapter 358: No answer

Smith had this confused look on his face as he took in the information. He burst out laughing suddenly. "What are you talking about?” he took his cup of wine and sipped.

"You are so funny. How can you even compare the two? There's no way he's both. I mean Grey is just one poor boy struggling to achieve. Fine, he could have gotten closer to some important people in the society but he's nothing.”

Seth nodded briefly, with a smile on his face. "Sure, I was just kidding with you.”

Seth actually found out before he went. No, the first thing that happened was the fact that he was confused about him and then, he suspected he could be Hercules. And it turned out to be so eventually.

"I'm here for a deal with Hercules,” he announced instead.

Seth had wanted to let Smith know who Grey really was but that could actually be dangerous at that time. Figures, he doesn't even believe him. Come to think of it, who would? He found it difficult to believe as well until the facts were staring right at him.

‘That is what you should have said initially instead of what you started with. Even Hercules would be angry at you with such a comparison," Smith laughed.

Seth shrugged briefly. “Just saying. Anyways, let's talk about the deal because I figure you might need it as well. It's worth twelve billion dollars,” he announced.

"I will let you have four billion dollars."

Smith sat up, a smile forming on his lips very fast. He reasoned it quickly at the fact that he seriously needed money for the business. Although he came back to Jacksonville with some money, it wasn't enough to start a business of his choice. That was why he had to focus on Grey alone. If there was money, he would start a company and surprise his uncle, Lucy.

Smith nodded once. "I like that idea. Tell me about it?"

"Protos Pubblicita is the one with the deal and I'm working towards making sure that the deal becomes ours. And I must assure you that the plan is working perfectly fine. I came back this afternoon before I got to find out that the plan had actually worked,” he revealed. “And that's why I must tell you that Grey is dead."

Smith furrowed his brows. 'That's not true. I saw him in the afternoon yesterday when I went to the store to get some clothes.”

Seth hesitated for a moment. "That's not right.”

Smith smiled. "That's it, Seth but he will be no more after tonight."

Seth and eyes twitched slightly. There was something wrong somewhere. Richard called to inform him that Caramel had killed Grey. There was no way he would still be alive.

Yes, it was Seth that was behind it all. He seriously needed a raise to help with his company. Since Grey succeeded in taking his company, he had come up with another but he needed funds to put it forward. And that fund was with Protos Pubblicita.

But Grey would never let him have the order because of their unsettled issue. So, he decided to get it the other way. Well, he was ready to give it all it takes as long as the order would be given to him.

If Grey dies, Protos Pubblicita won't have anything against him or his company. And Caramel was just a tool in his work.

"May I have your contact? I will give you a call and we will be able to talk more about it. Whatever you do, don't forget to let me on with them. Who knows, you might need my help as well. As you know, I'm with two mafia lords and it would make things easier for me," Smith explained.

Seth nodded once, though his mind wasn’t with him. All he wanted to do at that moment was confirm the authenticity of what Smith had just said. There was no way Richard would lie to him.

Grey knew that Smith had a hidden agenda for his appearance in Jacksonville. And after what had happened that afternoon, he was just angry.

But Grey didn't know that his fame had spread all around, including Russia. He didn't expect the mafia bosses from Russia to fear him.

"Don't forget that we are going to pick Aphrodite up.” Grey reminded Jimmy.

Jimmy nodded and dialled a number on his phone to pass on the information.

Soon enough, they were in front of Aphrodite's house. Just as Grey got out of the car, Aphrodite walked out of the house in a red long gown that matched her skin colour so well and complimented her ruby hair.

Grey studied her expression as he led her to the car. The men stepped aside. "Are you alright?"

Aphrodite nodded once and got inside. "I am fine, why do you ask?"

Grey got inside beside her. "Because you left Alfred's house without a goodbye the other time."

Aphrodite smiled briefly. "It's nothing, actually. Where is Caramel?"

Grey sat well. "Home. I still don't know if I'm supposed to believe all she said about losing her memory."

Caramel looked at him. "What if she was just lying? Why would you do if she tried to kill you of her own volition?"

The question stuck at Grey's throat as he watched Aphrodite. Aphrodite could be a bit jealous but her questions were always directed at the truth.

But Grey had no answer to her question.

Seth had been calling Richard's number since Smith left but he didn’t pick up. It was the fourth time that he decided to retry. He was getting really frustrated when he picked it up.

"Where the fuck have you been?" Seth yelled with anger. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“I'm sorry boss. I wasn't with my phone until now and I have something to tell you," he informed him.

Set released a sigh to keep him calm. “What's it all about?”

“Boss, Hercules is alive and there are some men here looking for me," he dropped.
