Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 553: Failed plan Grey hung up and sent the address of the location to Titus.

"Is everything alright?" Alfred asked suddenly.

Gry looked at Alfred. "The governor is missing and it's almost time for him to get Alex to the designated location." "What!" Alfred exclaimed softly. "How did that happen?" "Titus said he received a call and he was suddenly gone.

"Could Giovanni have gotten hold of him?" "That could be the case but we need to do something very fast or we would

lose Alex." Alfred nodded briefly. "I will look for the governor. Make sure Titus gets Alex without any hindrance." Grey nodded once. "Do that. I will call Don. Everything will go accordingly.

But if Giovanni already had the Governor, we would need to fight for his freedom or the case would be withdrawn." Alfred nodded once. "Twill do all it takes. But make sure you don't miss the auction because of this." Grey nodded again. "I won't. Inform me of how it goes." Alfred bowed briefly and moved to his car, with two of the men.

Grey watched the car drive out of the garage before he got inside the car as 2m

well. He placed a call to Don just as the cars pulled out of the garage in order, Don picked it up immediately. "Hello, boss." "Where are you?" "T and the rest of the men are at the location. We are awaiting the governor." "Good. The governor might not show up but the FBI will. Just make sure they are able to get to their place safely." "Alright boss." Grey released a sigh. His phone rang suddenly, it was Charles.

Grey picked it up immediately. "Hello, Charles."

"Boss, I just received information from one of the men in the estate, Giovanni's men just attacked the estate," he announced.

"Good. I hope everyone is fine." "Yes, boss. Everyone is fine." Grey released a sigh. He was so glad that Jimmy and his friend were not at the estate when they invaded or they could have killed them. Giovanni would still be annoyed at them.

"Alright. Take care. I'm at the auction already. I will let you know how it goes when I'm done here," he assured.

"Alright boss. But do you want me to come over?" "That wouldn't be necessary. I have more than enough men. I will be fine.

Besides, Giovanni wouldn't try that am

nonsense." "Ok then. Later, Grey. Take care." : Grey hung up, just as the car pulled into the parking space.

One of Grey's men opened the door and Grey got out. He hesitated as all of his men got out of the car and moved to stay behind him.

They entered the hall together.

Several heads turned towards them as they walked to an empty seat.

The auction has started already.

One of the men moved closer to Grey.

"The auction started a few minutes ago. In fact, this is the first item," he revealed.

Grey nodded once, and gladness filled his heart. At least, he was still early. "Is a/1M

Giovanni around?" "Not yet, boss. He's not in the hall." "Sold! Chinese Snowflake Blue Yongzheng Vase goes to Mr. Donover!" The auctioneer announced.

There was a few minutes of silence.

"The next item is the Chinese Robin’s Egg and Gilt Archaistic Vase. The vase has an under base of a robin's egg blue glaze with gilt overlay and handles and features stylized dragons and bats. And it's going for 2 million dollars." 11 will take it!" Someone yelled.

"Two million, two hundred dollars." Grey groaned inwardly. He was curious and anxious about everything. He

couldn't even wait to lay his hand on the watch. He couldn't wait to have Giovanni arrested eventually.

With whatever evidence was on the watch and coupled with the fact that he killed some people for an experiment, Giovanni wouldn't be able to escape it.

"Boss, here comes Giovanni," one of the men said suddenly, pulling Grey out of his thoughts.

Giovanni walked inside with his men.

There was this aura of confidence around him.

At that moment, Grey couldn't help but think the watch might actually be real.

If it wasn't real, Giovanni wouldn't | have the cause to show up.

Grey pulled out his phone and dialled

Titus's line. It rang severally but he didn't pick it up.

He wondered what had happened.

Could the plan have gone wrong? He placed a call to Alfred. He didn't pick it up until after the second ring.

"Hello, Hercules." "Yes, is everything going well?" "2.5 million dollars," a deep voice said suddenly, and murmurs suddenly filled the air around them.

"No, boss. The FBI suddenly pulled back," he announced.

"What!" Grey exclaimed softly, unable | to believe it. "What happened?" | " can't say for now but I've changed

the plan and redirected my men to where Alex is. I'm currently in the Governor's neighbourhood and some of the police that work for Giovanni just stepped out. Something seemed off somewhere," he revealed.

Grey thought for a moment. "Could the governor have been threatened?" "It feels like it. Well, if that is the case, we will find out soon. They would probably have evidence of transfer that would prevent Giovanni from taking you the case in the future," Alfred explained.

"Do all you have to do. Alex needs to be captured by the FBI or all our plans would go to waste. We can't allow that." "Alright Hercules, I will get back to you," Alfred muttered and the line

went off.

Grey released a sigh and looked at Giovanni from where he was. There was this smile on his face that made it look like he was watching Grey as well.

While he was planning, Giovanni was also planning.

"The next item is Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010.

And it's starting with 21.19 million," the announcer's voice boomed, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.

It was the watch he was waiting for, his father's watch.

"22 million dollars!" Giovanni muttered suddenly, beating Grey to it.

Truly, Giovanni knew what the watch

-_ was about and needed it.
