NovelEnglishChapter 554: Fall again At that moment, Grey realised that Giovanni needed the watch as well.
"22.5 million dollars!" Grey announced and stretched out his card.
Giovanni looked over at him, with a smirk on his face.
Grey felt the urge to punch the smirk off his face. The anger he felt for him at that moment couldn't be measured.
He couldn't wait to get everything done with. He could wait to punish him for all he had done to him and his family at large.
But he knew that he would be as sad as he was when he saw Alex. He would never imagine what Grey had done to
him.
Without being tried, and released, Alex wouldn't be able to repair the damage he had done to him. He could spend half of his years being a one-eyed fellow.
That was something that Grey was proud of.
Giovanni opened his mouth as if to talk.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"23 million dollars," Grey interjected very fast.
"Yes! 23 million dollars from Mr. Grey.
Is there anyone that wants to go further?" He hesitated briefly before he hit the table. "The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime goes to Mr. Grey," the announcer declared.
Grey released a sigh and looked at
Giovanni. Actually, he didn't expect him to give up so easily. It looked like there was more that he didn't know about.
Giovanni had this sly look on his face.
He stood up, with his men and they walked out of the hall.
Grey stared down at the screen of the phone. Alfred hasn't called back and he was starting to be worried.
The rest of the biddings went quietly as Grey wasn't really interested in it. He had his eyes glued to the phone.
If there was something, Alfred hadn't called which meant things might not be going well.
His phone rang suddenly as he and the men made their way toward their cars.
It was Alfred.
A sigh of relief washed over Grey.
"Hello, Grey." "Yes, what is the current situation? Has the plan failed?" He inquired and anticipated the sad news.
"Well, we came in time. It was successful!" He announced.
Grey felt a surge of happiness.
"Seriously?" "Yes, Grey. Thank goodness we acted very fast. The governor pulled back and the file was going back to the police," he revealed.
One of the men opened the door and Grey got inside. The rest of the men got inside the car as well and they pulled out of the garage.
"Why? Is the governor working for
Giovanni? I thought he was supposed to be fully mine, as the king of the world," Grey uttered. — "Yes, he is," Alfred responded. "In fact, he's very loyal to you," he added.
"But he was threatened. His young daughter was kidnapped. If we had been any slower, we would have missed them. And now, he has agreed to have his family fly out of the city pending the time we are done with this case. So, they would be safe like that," he disclosed.
Grey nodded once. "I support that. I will speak with him when I have the chance to." Alfred hesitated. "And the watch?" ' have it with me," Grey grinned and stared down at the watch in his hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Where should we meet? Your house? Or estate?" Grey thought for a moment. "Let's meet at home. That will make everything faster." "Alright, I will be there soon," Alfred finished and the line went off.
Grey smiled again. He almost failed again. He texted some messages to Maria before placing a call to her.
Maria didn't pick up until after the third ring.
"Hello, Boss." "I'm so sorry for disturbing you tonight but I need you to do something for me." Maria tried to stifle a yawn. "Alright boss. What do you want me to do?"
yh MAL "I've sent you a message. That should be a headline for tomorrow's news." nai "Ok boss, I will do that." Grey hung up.
He released a relieved sigh. Giovanni wouldn't know what hit him.
His phone rang suddenly, just as the cars pulled into the garage. It was Charles.
"Hello, Grey." "Yes, is everything alright?" "Sure but one of the girls wants to talk to you." Grey raised skeptical brows. "You mean the girls I saved at Richard's hand? The human experiment?"
‘a_i EB tde add "Yes, Grey. But it's not something she can tell you on the phone. I think they will have to come over to your place or maybe you guys can meet in your estate." Grey has already wondered what they were using the experiment for and what they hoped to achieve.
Perhaps it was something Grey could use against Giovanni.
It came at the right time. Giovanni would fall before he learned how to stand again.
"Alright, I will come over to the estate.
I don't want them to fall into Giovanni's hand. We are still at war. We can't afford to lose focus," he explained.
