Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 257: Suspiciously

Grey, Gregory, and Charles left the estate late so that Fred would be able to get as further as he could.

Gary went with him, so Charles noticed. Though, he knew it was Gary that would plan his escape out of

the spacious estate.

“So, it’s a success?” Gregory asked when they walked out to the car earlier the next morning.

Charles nodded briefly. “I think it is since

Gary isn’t even back till now.”

Gregory entered the car. “He probably wanted to make sure Fred arrived safely or to make sure it’s

believable.”

Grey nodded briefly. “I guess that’s the case. We should go back to Jacksonville and wait for the

result,” he suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement before they entered the car.

On the plane back home, Charles kept failing Gary’s phone but he wasn’t picking up. The job alone

was tiring, so at one point, he was frustrated.

He looked over at Grey. “Do you have an idea why Gary wouldn’t pick up?”

Grey darted at his watch. “It’s over five hours already and we will be arriving in Jacksonville soon. Why

does it feel like something is weird?”

Gregory’s eyes went wide with shock. ” What If he was caught? And Fred knows the truth?”

“Well, that’s dangerous,” Grey muttered. “Let’s give him a few minutes. In the next few hours, the news

should be all about it. If not, then we will realize something has really happened,” he finished.

Gregory nodded briefly.

When they got down from the plane and split, Gary still hadn’t replied to Charles.

Gregory went his way while Charles and Grey drove right to Beatrice’s house.

“I’m starting to think of this thing more than we discussed,” Charles said suddenly as they walked inside

the house.

Grey moved to switch on the TV. He placed a call to Jimmy which he picked up immediately.

“Hi, boss.”

“Yes, is there currently any news about Hercules?”

“No, boss. There’s nothing surfacing currently. Is there something you are looking for?”

Grey cleared his throat meaningfully.

Nothing, just stay watch. I want you to notify me if you see or hear any news concerning Hercules.

Make sure you are online!”

“Yes, boss!”

Grey hung up and looked at Charles. ”

Nothing. Everywhere is as quiet as a graveyard.” He muttered.

Charles raised skeptical brows at him. ” Do you think we got the wrong person? Perhaps we sent a spy

on a job instead?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, what if Gary is a spy as well? I thought I could trust him but what if he’s actually monitoring me

like Fred was doing? It can only explain the reason why

I haven’t heard from him all this while.”

Grey gathered his forehead. “Then, that means trouble. We might have to go for the second plan.”

Charles sighed. “What’s the second plan?

“If Gary is a spy, then we will have to rule out the initial plan. It would never be possible. I will never be

able to get what I want,” his expression became darker at this and he felt a surge of sadness. “But I can

make sure Fred and Todd don’t live, and that includes Gary as well,” he revealed.

Charles nodded briefly. “I understand. I will get some men to track Todd and Fred. I will get back to you

when I hear anything concerning them.”

He turned to leave but the ringing of his phone pulled him to a sudden stop.

Charles picked up the call.

“Yes, Thomas. Is something wrong?”

“We’ve found Gary, sir,” the man announced.

“What?” Charles exclaimed softly. He was too shocked at the news.

Grey walked closer. “Is something wrong? “He whispered.

Charles nodded briefly. “Where is he? Did he find Fred?”

There was hesitation. “Fred escaped, boss but Gary is in the estate already. Do you want us to come to

Jacksonville?”

Charles looked at Grey. “I will talk to you later. Wait for my order,” he finished and hung up.

Grey raised confused brows at him.”Is something wrong?”

Charles nodded briefly. “Gary is currently at the estate. Thomas just called me that Fred escaped but

Gary is back at the estate. Should we go back to the estate or let them come here?”

“Then why wasn’t he picking up the call? Grey asked.

“Maybe he lost his phone or he was in a place where he couldn’t pick it up,” Charles released a sigh.

“Does it mean that this plan is a success?”

Grey regarded him for a moment before he turned away. “I don’t think so. There’s too much

surrounding this thing and somehow it makes me feel even weirder.”

“What do you mean?” Charles probed in.

Grey thought about it for a moment and he couldn’t wrap his head around it. “It felt like something had

happened, something we didn’t expect. I mean why isn’t there anything on the news yet? It can only

mean that Giovanni doesn’t know about this yet or he doesn’t believe it.”

Charles reasoned his words for a moment. “You are right, Grey. I mean we had the thought as well.

What if no one recognized Gary?’

“Well, he should have been dead,” Grey looked over at him. “He wouldn’t be back.

“Then there’s something else to it that we don’t know, right?”

Grey nodded briefly. “Tell the men to come over. If Giovanni is trying to see if we are telling the truth,

then we have to give him the proof that he wants.”

“What?” Charles’s brows were raised.

“We have to make him believe what Fred heard. We need to act suspiciously. Tell the men to meet you

at your house here and call an emergency meeting with the elders. We must settle everything quickly.

“He expressed it strongly.

Charles nodded and placed a call to

Thomas. He picked it up immediately. Tell everyone to come to Jacksonville immediately,” he ordered.

“Alright boss, we will leave here immediately,” Thomas responded.

Just as Charles moved away to call the elders, Grey stared at the door with such force that it could

have broken if looks could harm.

What if Gary is a spy? What if what they did was a failure? Somehow, Grey couldn’t stop thinking there

was more to it.
