Chapter 255: Suspect
“So, are we accepting?”
Grey looked up at Jane and nodded briefly. “We are and we will be attending the interview.”
Jane nodded briefly.
Grey stood up. “I will leave then since there are no other things to attend to.”
The moment he walked out of the elevator, his phone rang suddenly. It was Beatrice.
“Hello, Beatrice.”
“Grey! Hattie has been arrested!” She announced. “It’s all over the internet,” she expressed happily.
Grey nodded briefly. “I told you. And even though Giovanni rescues her, there will still be some
leftovers of what she had done. That should keep her off for now.”
“Yes, later then.” And the phone went off.
Grey pulled a call to Maria and she picked up immediately. “Hello, Maria.”
“Good morning boss.” Maria sounded clear from the other end.
“There’s a piece of ongoing news about Hattie. You have to take your report because it must appear in
our magazine till CCS day.”
“Noted sir, I will send some people toward the location and we will start preparing the news asap,” she
responded.
“Alright, I will be in Protos Pubblicita soon. Take care,” he hung up and entered the car.
He placed a call to Jimmy. He picked up after the first ring.
“Hello, boss. Is there anything I can do for you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, there’s a piece of news currently on Hattie. I want you to spread it on the internet. Make sure
other websites take it
Though, I know Hattie will pay websites to take it down. So, you have to open several websites and
make sure it doesn’t link it to you because we won’t be taking it down until CCS day,” he ordered.
“Yes boss, I will do that,” Jimmy responded.
Grey nodded and hung up. His phone rang almost immediately. It was Charles this time. He picked it
up.
“Hi, Grey. Are you at Protos Pubblicita?”
“No, but I’m on the way. Is something wrong?”
“Not really. I will tell you all there is to it when I get to Protos Pubblicita,” he informed.
“Alright. See you there soon,” he finished and hung up.
Grey entered his car and drove right to Protos Pubblicita.
Charles pulled up at a parking space just as Grey did as well. It made it look as though they were
coming together.
“Boss,” Charles greeted when he was closer. “Should we talk in the car then?”
Grey thought for a moment and nodded briefly. “Let’s do that,” he invited him to his car. They entered
the back seat. ”
What’s it all about?”
“Well, Alfred called me over this morning to tell me some things.”
Grey raised his brows at him. “What is it all about?”
“The elders discussed overnight concerning what you told us and we’ve finally decided on what to do,”
he hesitated. “We’ve decided to go on with the plan. Everyone is counting on the success,” he
announced. Grey regarded him for a moment. ”
Alright, but I will need all your help.”
“Yes, what can that be?”
“Call me Gregory. We are all going to my estate together. Like I told you earlier, Fred is my instrument.
Now is the time to use him.”
“So, what are we going to do with him?” Charles asked, confused.
“I will tell you about it when Gregory gets here. Tell him to meet me at home after work. The earlier, the
better,” he decided.
Charles nodded briefly. “I will do that. Till then,” he bowed slightly before he got out of the car.
Hattie had a dark frown on her face as she entered the car. She was fuming with anger and it was vivid
on her face. Even though she didn’t spend more than an hour in the police station, she still felt angry at
the reporters that appeared at her company that morning.
It was as if someone set her up.
“I’ve told you severally, aunt, to be careful of where you place your drugs. It shouldn’t be in the
company in the first place,” Giovanni scolded angrily.
If it wasn’t because he didn’t want to abandon her, Giovanni might have pretended he didn’t hear
anything. He didn’t want anything that would stain his dignity to the whole world.
“I didn’t do it,” Hattie stressed.
Giovanni sighed. “Well, we have to find a way to stop the media and the internet from publishing more
stories about you,” he said, ignoring her remark.
Hattie shook her head slightly. “You don’t believe me?”
“Well, maybe I don’t. You told me you wouldn’t touch Victoria. In fact, after the pronunciation of her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdeath, you told me you had nothing to do with her. Eventually, it turned out that you killed her. Now, you
want me to believe you?”
Hattie huffed. “What? Are you trying to compare something like this? It’s way different!” She argued.
Giovanni adjusted his suit. “It’s not because you lied in both.”
“Well, I agreed that I lied about that one but I’m saying the truth about this. I had no idea how the drugs
got to my company. I left everything at home. In fact, Grey burnt some days back,” she explained.
Giovanni scoffed.
Hattie regarded him for a moment. “Is this still because of Victoria? You love her more than you love
me?”
Giovanni looked over at her. “It has nothing to do with her.”
“Of course, it doesn’t! I’m your sister and
Victoria chose Hercules over you. Rio over you! Remember that!” She expressed it strongly.
The words seemed to get to Giovanni and he went off for a moment before he released a sigh.
“Who do you suspect? I mean who is courageous enough to have set you up?”
Hattie sat back and thought about it for a moment. “I have a grudge against someone but I don’t know if
he’s capable of doing this. Only Grey knows I do drugs.
Could it be Hercules?”
Giovanni let out an exasperated sigh. Grey doesn’t use police. Why would he do so? He’s a mafia lord.
Who is this first person you suspect?”
“Grey of Victoria Skincare.”
Giovanni looked at her. “Grey? Victoria Skincare?”
Both names sound familiar to Giovanni’s ears. Well, they all pointed at Hercules.
