Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 49: The truth
“Who the fuck do you think you are? You can’t just show up now and start claiming Hercules! Where were you all these years?”
Charles yelled.
Grey stared at him for a moment, he didn’t know if he was angry that he would be taking back his properties or if he was just
concerned,
“Hey. Charles. You need to calm down! This is not the right time to do all this!” Aphrodite interfered.
Seriously? Charles smurked ‘Let him tell me the right time because I’m not getting it!”
Aphrodite sighed, fed up already. She decided to call on Alfred, perhaps he could settle the fight between Grey and Charles
“Where’s Alfred? Is he inside?”
Charles looked at Aphrodite and nodded slightly. “His documents and all other stuff are inside. I believe I’m not needed here
anymore and I’m leaving! He snarled
Aphrodite stormed inside, leaving the two men staring daggers at each other
“Nothing to say? Cat got your tongue?” Charles teased “I’m sure you were the one that just introduced yourself as Hercules now
or was there someone else?” He turned around sarcastically.
“Why don’t you ask your father where I have been all these years?” Grey said suddenly, shocking Charles for a moment
He whirled to look at Grey. There was a surprised look on his face. “What did you just say?”
Grey took a step closer, filling the gap between them. I just said you should find the right person to blame. It wasn’t like I was out
there, hiding away from my responsibility Wait, is that how it looked to you? * Grey pointed out. He was getting angry as well.
Charles blinked once, unable to fully comprehend what he was saying
Grey clenched his teeth “You know what? You shouldn’t be the one angry, I should be because I watched your father shoot my
father!” He yelled though he regretted talking about it the moment the words left his mouth.
CCharles’seyes went wide with shock Though, if it was because of the revelation of her father’s wrongdoing or because he didn’t
know that Grey knew about the act, that was something Grey didn’t know

“What are you saying?” Charles stammered His voice went soft and low. He felt defeated
*Ask your fatherl Grey yelled again. He had been keeping it in for a while and he thought it was finally good to let it out Though,
maybe things would never remain the same. If Charles was the spy, then he might expect evil days sooner than later.
Charles cleared his throat meaningfully. “Are you saying my father killed your father before he died?”
Grey hissed.” Your father killed my father and shot me as well. Apparently, he wanted you to acquire my properties which is what
you are currently doing. Or why are you angry that I’m getting my properties back frorn you?” He accused, his blue eyes drilling
holes in Charles’s face.
Charles sucked in a breath, he turned away as he tried to assess the whole thing. He turned back to Grey again
“You mean my father killed your father? No! That’s not correct! It’s not possible! How could that happen? They used to be
friends.” He argued.
How else did you think I stood far away all these years? I didn’t even remember who I was until I met Alfred I’ve been living in
misery while you enjoyed my wealth So, why are you so angry?” Grey tried to calm down He was starting to lose it which was so
bad
Grey took in another deep breath before speaking again if you leave now, I will assume you know about The whole plan,’ he
looked up and caught Aphrodite He didn’t know how long she had been there or how much she had heard
“What is happening here?” Gregory said behind them suddenly
The trio turned around to look at Gregory
There was a bright smile on Gregory’s face “Don’t tell me the meeting is over, already
“No.” Grey said quickly. “We are just going in,” he added and stared up at Charles as if daning him to say no
“Yes” Charles chimed in “Well, welcome Gregory It’s nice to see your face after avoiding me for months
Gregory smiled ‘I’m busier than you.”
Aphrodite sensed the sensation between Charles and Grey but she didn’t know what it was all about The last statement was the
only thing that she heard and that made it look even weirder. Though, she knew at that point that there was something that both
Charles and Grey were hiding

They walked inside the spacious living room
The chandelier, the color of the chairs, and everything about the room were in place Grey thought the building structure was
beautiful but the inner decorations were even more beautiful
“Welcome Hercules,’ the elders in the living room chorused
A wide grin spread across their faces as they poured themselves into wine
“It’s been ten years We thought Hercules was lost forever,” Jayden laughed
*I found him. I should be rewarded,’ Alfred teased
Grey grabbed a wine cup as well ” I’m so grateful,” he affirmed. But I think we will have a lot of time to do this later in the future I
need to return to work,” Grey announced
“Yes, that’s right I also have a flight to catch,” Aphrodite mentioned
Yes, we should hurry up Grey is still under cover, we can’t risk anything. Gregory added ‘I don’t think It’s the right time to let him
come out as Hercules,” he suggested
Everyone nods in agreement
They decided to get busy drinking wine and chatting among themselves while Charles handed over Rio’s estate Only Aphrodite
stood with Grey
Charles nodded and looked at Grey He seemed a lot calmer now and ready to help. I will tell you everything I know. But the files
to your father’s properties are in this safe,” he gestured to the small box on the table. Then, he moved closer and opened the box
Grey stared at the files in it. Looking at its qualities, he concluded that his father’s documents were more than he thought. How
could his father have so much but he had to suffer for ten years?
“That’s so much! It looked like your father was busy acquiring wealth for you,” Aphrodite slated with a Wide smile
A phone rang suddenly and Charles moved closer to Grey’ll’s Jane that’s calling.” he announced
Grey looked up at Charles. The secretary of Protos Pubblicita?”

Charles nodded ‘She probably wants to hint me on the contract they were supposed to sign this afternoon”
Grey remembers the contract that Lucy was talking about “Wait Could it be the contract between Protos Pubblicita and LX
corporation?
Charles’ brows creased How did you know about that?”
Though, the contract was supposed to be signed on Monday Grey sensed that something was wrong
Pick it. Grey ordered, ignoring his question
Charles clicked on the receiver and made sure the phone was on the loudspeaker ‘Hello, how are you, Jane?”
A sweet soft voice emerged ‘Fine sir, I want to let you know that the contract has been signed
“What?” Shock spread across Grey’s face “They were supposed to sign it on Monday Why today?”
Aphrodite gave him skeptical brows ‘How did you know about the contract
Grey smiled “Lucy Robinson talked about it
Aphrodite nodded ‘I’ve forgotten you are married to Avery”
“What Married? Charles blurted out, shocked, then shook his head “Sorry about that Jane,” he added quickly I wasnt referring to
you When did you sign the contract?
Avery looked up at Grey againThe contract has been signed already is something wrong with it?”
Smith Robinson was present, right?” Grey wasnt so sure Smith was supposed to sign the contract on Monday or perhaps it was
Avery that convinced them to sign the contract today
Alright. Jane but who was the representative that came from LX corporalion?
Jane went silent for a moment “It’s Smith Smith Robinson
