Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 256: A setup

When Grey got home, Gregory and Charles were already waiting for him. It took him a while actually

because he had to sort out some things at Protos Pubblicita.

They were having a cup of wine when he walked down the stairs after a change of clothes.

“So, may we know what this plan is all about?” Gregory started.

Grey nodded briefly, and poured himself a glass of wine. “A big plan, Gregory,” he took a seat beside

Gregory. “The three of us will have to go to my estate. We caught one of Charles’ men that was spying

on us and trying to find out how Hercules looks like.”

Gregory gathered his brows. “Seriously? We seems to have a lot of spies admist us.

“Yes,” Charles confirmed. “I didn’t know and I’ve been with him for some years now. It seemed like it

was planned,” he explained.

“So, Fred is still my prisoner. So, I plan to let him go. Actually, it would look like he escaped. It will be

staged,” he explained.

“So, you mean that Fred would be the first person that would spread the news about the dead

Hercules?” Gregory asked.

Grey nodded briefly. “We need someone to make it credible.

“But what position will that leave Protos Pubblicita and all the companies under it? “Charles demanded.

“Well, Protos will not take up any story concerning it. It would be as if Fred only saw a secret of our

group. So, We will act innocent about it. Though, I’m sure Alex and the rest would want to broadcast it.

I will be waiting for them anyways.

Gregory smiled softly. “I actually love this plan. When are we executing it?”

Grey thought about it for a moment. Tonight will be the best. It’s easier to escape when it’s late. We will

arrange it. But there’s something we have to note and that is, you guys should not mention my name.

Fred doesn’t recognize me, same as Todd. So, it would be easy i partake in this plan. ”

“So, who should we say is personating you?”

“Well,” Grey shrugged slightly. “Anyone. We can make up anyone that they don’t know.”

Gregory nodded and carefully placed the glass of wine on the table. “We should get going then.”

Grey nodded and stood.

“But Grey, why do you think Caramel is working for you? Does she know who you truly are?”

Grey shook his head briefly. “No, she has always been like that before we started dating. Let’s move!”

They arrived at the estate hours later and it was almost late at night.

Charles brought along some of his men. Gregory and Grey settled down to drink wine happily as if they

had no issues in the world to bother about.

While Charles pulled aside one of the men he trusted the most. This same guy have been his friend

since he was young.

Gregory doesn’t want to trust him but Grey decided to give him a trial.

“Do you understand?” Charles demanded. “I am counting on you for this.

The guy looked up at Charles as if he couldn’t believe the words coming out of Charles’ mouth.

“But this isn’t true right? The boss came to your house months back, right?”

Charles nodded briefly. “Yes, he did. The only advantage we have is that Fred wasn’t around then.

Gary, If you can successfully do this, the Hercules will reward you handsomely.

Gary nodded briefly. “I will do everything to make sure it works.”

Charles patted him slightly and walked to join Grey and Gregory. “Let’s go, Gregory.

Gregory nodded briefly and stood to follow him while Grey continued to sleep his wine.

Charles and Gregory walked towards the room. They hesitated in front of it and Charles signalled the

guards to leave.

Gregory turned to look at Charles. “What are we going to do?”

“Well, you do know there’s no Hercules anywhere.”

“Keep quiet!” Gregory said hurriedly.

What if the man in here hears us.”

“I sent someone inside few minutes ago and he said he was asleep. That aside, we will be eliminating

him soon. So, I’m not worried about that. All I want us to discuss about is the fact that Giovanni would

soon discover the truth. What will happen at that moment?” He opened the door and stepped inside.

Gregory stepped inside after him. “We should demand from this guy everything he knows. Then, we

can know how to defeat Giovanni.”

“Well, we need to do that because no one must know that Hercules isn’t alife. We need to protect the

position until we find someone else to replace him,” Charles replied and regarded Fred for a moment.

His head was hanging at the other side as if he was unconscious.

Gregory moved closer to Fred, took a bucket of water beside him and poured it all over him so that

Fred would jerk up. No one knew if he was listening initially or not.

“Boss_,” Fred stressed out.

“Should we kill this guy immediately? He seemed to have heard everything we discussed the other

time,” Gregory initiated.

“No!” Fred said hurriedly. “I didn’t, boss. I heard nothing.”

Gregory looked up at Charles, with a smile on his face. “Seriously? Why does it look like you heard

something? I’m sure you know that Hercules isn’t real already.

Fred kept mute, unsure of what to do. Please, spare me, “he said instead.

Gregory nodded at Charles briefly before he walked away from Fred. “You will tell us everything you

know about Giovanni.”

“I know nothing. I’m not really closed with Giovanni, I swear!” He yelled fearfully.

The door opened suddenly and Gary walked inside. He regarded Fred for a moment before he walked

closer to Charles and whispered something onto his ears.

Charles feigned surprise as he looked at Gregory. “We need to leave now!” He said and hurried out of

the room.

Gregory turned to look at Gary. “Guard him very well,” he told him before he walked out of the room as

well.

Gary smiled softly as they walked out of the room. He rushed towards Fred. “Now is the time you have

been waiting for,

Fred. Giovanni is waiting for this message.”

Fred looked up at Gary, skeptical for a moment. “Who are you?”

“I work for Giovanni and I’m here to rescue you. I will help you out of this estate. You should get to

Jacksonville as fast as possible and relay this messages to

Todd so that he could tell Giovanni immediately.”

Fred was still confused. “What message?” Gary hesitated. “That it’s all an act.”
