Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 360

Chapter 360: The King’s award

Smith placed a call to Arnold again and cursed mentally when he didn't pick up. He didn't know what was happening but he had been calling nonstop and no one was picking up. And it was starting to annoy him.

No one was even informing him about the feedback. He didn't know what had happened to Grey.

Smith walked inside the living room of the house they got before coming to Jacksonville. Everywhere was empty and eerily silent. And a question lingered in his mind. Where are they?

Smith's phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. He called Seth earlier and they were supposed to discuss business later.

He picked it up. "Hello, Seth.”

Seth hesitated. “I think we have a problem and that's why I wanted to ask you about Grey. When can we meet?"

“Tomorrow is fine. I will text you, we can think of the location."

“Alright, till then.”

Smith knew something has happened but he needed to find out. Which was why he was going to Russia that morning. He would find Arnold and demand an explanation from him. There must be a reason why he left Jacksonville without a word. He didn't even inform him if their plan was successful.

Smith booked a flight immediately.

Grey regarded Caramel for a moment. "How are you doing?"

"Fine, I think. Why are you here?*

Grey smiled and moved to sit on the only chair in the room." You should try and regain your memory. There are a lot of things you need to remember. That aside, I really need to know what happened to Beatrice. What really happened?’

"She died, what else do you want to know?”

"And you believed I did it? Well, I just what you to know that there's no way I would do such. Beatrice is like my mother and I will never kill her,’ he said truthfully.

And yet. Caramel didn't believe him. In fact, she was already starting to think of a way to escape the house that evening and attend the billionaire's party. It would be easy to poison Grey at a such party. All she had to do was find a way to get inside the hall.

Grey waited for her reply and when he got none, he stood up. "I will leave you now. You can call on me whenever you remember anything.

Caramel continued to stare at him until he walked out of the room.

Grey didn't go to work that day because he had the billionaire party to prepare for. His phone rang suddenly, it was Alfred. Grey picked it up immediately.

"Hello, Alfred. Is everything going fine with the upcoming party?"

"Yes, everything is fine. Aphrodite would come over to your place with the invite. We will move in approximately an hour before the program would start, how is that with you?”

"Fine," Grey responded. ’But is that why you called?"

"No, I've actually found out who Richard is,* he announced.

“Tell me," Grey muttered.

"He's one of the thugs in Seattle. Though, I'm unable to find out if he has a boss or if he’s working independently. My men are on the verge of apprehending him. We would be able to question him very well by the," he explained.

Grey nodded once. "Good. Tell them to double up on their work. I want to see Richard as soon as possible in Jacksonville."

"Yes boss," Alfred said and the line went off.

Grey let out a sigh. He couldn't wait to find out who was behind those atrocities. He couldn't wait to avenge Beatrice. He would definitely kill whoever has killed her.

The door opened and Aphrodite walked inside. ’Hi, Grey.’

Grey looked up at her. "Are you attending the billionaire party?”

Aphrodite squeezed her face for a moment and walked past Grey to the kitchen. ‘I'm not. I will be at home. Alfred and Gregory are attending, that's enough."

Grey smiled slightly. ‘It's mandatory for you to attend. I will be attending as well. Where is your place?" He teased.

Aphrodite laughed. "I'm making something delicious. Would you be interested?"

Grey nodded quickly. "Sure. I will never miss your food for anything. Did you bring the invite?"

Aphrodite nodded and moved to the refrigerator. "Do you have vegetables? Besides, is Caramel staying in this house?"

Grey nodded once. "I don't know about the vegetable but it's a yes for Caramel. She hasn't remembered a thing. So, I don't even know what really happened to Beatrice."

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment. "Should I make her dish as well? I would like to have a word with her," she announced.

Grey raised a brow at her. "What for?"

Aphrodite burst into laughter. "Don’t give me that face. I'm only trying to help but it's ok if you don't need my help.”

Grey shook his head slightly. “It's ok, Aphrodite. I was only kidding. You know that you are always welcome everywhere and anywhere.”

Aphrodite smiled slightly and turned around to whatever she planned on cooking.

"The billionaire clubs from all the parts of the countries are into giving out an award to two people from the clubs every year," She started suddenly but she didn't turn to look at Grey.

"What's it all about?"

"The king and Queen of the world. Giovanni was the king last two years and last year was from Italy, I think. I was too busy to attend or even note them. But one thing I am sure of is that the Queen and King are not selected from the same state or club."

Grey nodded once. "So, that's why it was painful to Giovanni for making him leave the group. He's using it for his selfish gains."

"Yes," Aphrodite admitted and eventually turned around to look at him. "He has been growing so big before you show up. I mean isn't that why it's so difficult to bring him down? He has root in some places,” she revealed.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Grey smiled softly. "But he has failed this time because the crown belongs to me. I will cut off his arms and root until it's easy for me to kill him," Grey swore.

Aphrodite smiled. “I look forward to the day Giovanni would die. Though I know it won't be an easy battle but I believe you can do it.”
