Chapter 244: Beneath the lies

Grey looked away and smiled. “I’m still unable to confirm who the murderer is,” he looked up at Mattee.

But I will give you feedback when I find out about the truth.”

James nodded briefly. ” Anyways, I will be ready for you.”

Charles let out a sigh as his hand around the glass of wine faltered but the others barely noticed

“So, you are waiting to take revenge on Alex?”

James nodded briefly. ” Yes, but Giovanni will react. You know how much he’s protective about his son.

So, well this fight will involve them all. I’m planning on relocating to Jacksonville for now. I will send you

a message when I’m around,” he informed.

Grey nodded once. “Alright, I will be waiting.”

“Hercules needs to be back,” Francesco uttered suddenly as gazes turned on him. ” Grey, you need to

take up your father’s position openly. A Mafia boss needs to be answerable to his men. I’m sure your

men are wondering. You need to reassure them or they might lose trust in you,” he advised.

Grey nodded once. “I support that but Giovanni has some spies among my men. So, I’m currently

planning a huge surprise for them because I would like to show everyone who Hercules is. It’s high

time anyways and I don’t want to prolong matters.”

Francesco clasped his hands, a wide smile spread across his face. ” I’m waiting! I will surely attend the

party! You can count me in for anything that involves you.”

Grey smiled at this.” But the news might be shocking. Don’t bother about it and wait for the result,” he

hinted.

They both nodded.

“So,” Grey smiled and relaxed in his chair.” May we talk about the reason I’m here? I need to hurry

back home if you don’t mind.”

James laughed. ” Sure, right. Though, I’m still looking forward to having another drink with you when I

get to Jacksonville.”

Grey laughed. ” Sure, I will be expecting you.”

James drank his wine.” Caramel is your girlfriend, right?”

Grey eyes went wide for a moment. ” You sure know so much.”

James laughed and placed the cup on the table. ” Yes, I do and I also know that she has been

communicating with Alex recently.”

“What!” It was Charles‘ turn to be shocked.” What do you mean?”

James regarded the two men in front of him for a moment. ” Alex met with Caramel at Digital World.

And she sent him something that I was unable to find out. I think you should speak with Caramel or

either stay away from her.”

Grey gathered his forehead, as he watch James.” That’s not possible.”

“Well, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but I’m sure about it,” James confirmed.

Well, Mattee is very skilled as I’ve mentioned earlier. He’s very swift and he investigates very fast. He

doesn’t say what he doesn’t know. He tells the truth and I think you should really act fast on Caramel as

he had suggested,” Francesco advised.

Grey couldn’t think clearly. What was James saying exactly? Was he trying to say that he had been

betrayed by Caramel? But it was very difficult to conclude because Caramel has always trusted him. In

fact, no one in the world has trusted him like how Caramel does. There was no fucking way she would

betray him.

She doesn’t even know who he was or does she right now?

“Alright, thanks. I’m here because I would like for you to employ someone in the shoe company.

Francesco nodded briefly.” You are free to do this, even without my consultant but may I know who is

coming?”

“Blaze, Jamal’s son. He’s challenged and I do hope you can help him out. Although he’s challenged

and slow but he is quite talented in shoemaking. I will be glad if he can be encouraged at all times,” he

explained.

Francesco nodded again. “I’ve heard of Jamal but not his son. Tell him to come over to Italy, the job is

his already but I will inform someone to monitor him so that he doesn’t get into trouble with the

managers and the rest of the team.”

Grey smiled. “I will appreciate that. Tha k you so much.” He expressed.

Francesco smiled. “I’m glad I could help. That being said, I’ve moved you into one of the best and big

suites in Italy. Your safety is my main priority,” he laughed.

Grey joined in, even though it was almost fake. Grey was worried, disappointed, and confused.

Was Mattee right? Maybe he was because everything he had said about him that night was all true. But

what could Caramel have given Alex?

“Do you want some hot girls!” Francesco asked suddenly, laughing.

Grey smiled and shook his head briefly. “I have to retire. I have a long journey, tomorrow.”

Since the matter has been resolved amicably, he planned to return the next day, especially because of

Caramel and because he wants to discuss with the elders about the plan.

“Right. When next you come here, I will treat you even better,” Francesco promised and stood.

Grey stood as well and they shook hands. Then, he shook hands with Mattee too.

“Safe journey, Hercules.”

“Thank you.”

“My man will take you to the suite. You can drive after him.”

Charles and Grey nodded at the same time. Meanwhile, the same thing was running through their

mind.

“What are you thinking of?” Charles asked suddenly while they were driving behind one of Francesco’s

men.

Grey sighed and looked away, through the window. “Are you thinking of something as well?”

Charles sighed, perturbed. “You aren’t going to talk about your girlfriend?”

“I don’t believe what James said. Caramel would never work with Alex. She trusts me,” she expressed.

“Well, anything could have happened. It could actually be a setup in the first place. Caramel must have

gotten close to you in the first place while working with Alex. It’s the only explanation for this thing,”

Charles explained.

Grey looked at him quickly, his face hardened all of a sudden. “Don’t talk about her like that!”

“Well, we can’t overlook certain things, right?”

“Not her!” Grey yelled.” She can’t do such a thing! She can’t betray me. I trust her!”

Charles went silent for a moment as if he was thinking about something. “My father betrayed your

father. Is there something more than that kind of relationship? And_,” he hesitated for a moment. ” You

told me that a man was trying to get a strand of your hair. What if what Caramel sent to Alex was a

strand of your hair?”

Grey looked over at Charles, with eyes gone wide with shock
