Chapter 318: Announcement
Alex hit his fist against the chair angrily. He couldn't stop thinking. And the fact that he had been staying
In the house for days wasn't helping at all.
He stood up all of a sudden as the door opened and one of his men walked inside.
"How is the situation outside?"
The man sighed. "It's nothing to write home about. The reporters are everywhere looking for you.
There's nowhere to run to," he explained.
Alex grunted and slumped on the chair again. How did the media get the pictures in the first place?
Though, he was sure that it was Grey at work. He just didn't know how he could think so far.
Well, it was all Jane's fault. If she hadn't kept the pictures in the first place, Grey wouldn't have seen it.
The thought of it was enough to drive her crazy.
The door opened suddenly. "Boss!" Someone yelled.
Alex looked up. "Yes, what's it?"
The man moved closer to Grey with a magazine. "You have to see this, young master." He announced
and stretched out the magazine.
Alex took it, a bit confused and scared at the same time. He stared down at the picture on the page for
a moment.
"What!" He yelled suddenly. "How did it happen?" He looked up at the guy." Does my father know about
this?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I can't say, young master as the boss had not exposed his whereabouts to us," he informed him.
Alex stared down at the image again, and hot anger surged through him.
Grey eventually found a solution to what they did to Victoria Skincare.
And he's not even allowed to leave his house and plan something out.
The anger burning through him could burn down a house.
But he knew exactly what to do. He knew the only solution was to stop the rubbish. He was going to
find a solution for the problem they'd landed themselves into.
And there was only one way out of it.
"I told you, Giovanni. I told you not to let us go this way. You should have dealt with Grey my way!"
Pablo muttered thickly.
Giovanni looked away. "I didn't know he was going to find the pictures. If he hadn't, everything would
have gone smoothly."
"You need to find a way to get out of the mess that you are currently in so that we could discuss my
plan."
Giovanni nodded briefly. "I'm working on it. I'm going to speak with the police today,' he revealed.
The door opened suddenly and a guy walked inside, "There's something you need to see, boss," he
announced.
Giovanni sat up and looked at the man. "What's this all about?"
The man didn't say anything, and instead stretched out one of the Protos Pubblicita magazines. "Page
3."
Giovanni regarded it for a moment with curiosity before he took it. He flipped through the pages until it
got to page 3. His eyes went wide with shock as he stared at the picture of Mercury.
What the fuck! How did Grey meet Mercury? And how did they prepare for an interview?
“Seriously?" Pablo read the news with a sarcastic smile on his lips. "I told you, you were seriously
going soft on him. How are you going to do it now?"
Giovanni closed his eyes for a moment as he thought about it for a moment. He looked up at the man.
"Tell him that I can't wait any longer.
We can either see now or I will come over to the police station."
The man took a bow and walked out.
Grey was at home when Alfred's call came through.
He picked it up.
"Hello, Hercules.“
"Hello, how is everything going?"
"Alex has made a move," he informed. "He just left the house."
Grey sat up. "Follow him and send me the location. I will be there in a jiffy."
"Alright, I will do that," Alfred finished and hung up.
Grey got up and made a change of clothes. He placed a call to Jimmy on his way to his living room.
Jimmy picked up immediately. "Hello, boss."
"Get ready, I'm picking you up now. You need to record something for me."
"Alright boss."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey hung up and moved to the fridge to get a soda. His phone rang again. He gulped down the
content of the sofa before he moved closer to the table on which the phone was. It was Beatrice.
He regarded it for a moment before he picked it up. "Hello, Beatrice. I'm in a state of rush at this
moment. Can we talk later?"
"Oh alright. Yes, let's talk later," she said and the line went off.
Grey hurried into his car. His phone made a beep and a message popped up on it from Alfred.
He took a turn towards Jimmy's house.
The commissioner of police shook his head briefly. "I don't really think so. You see, this is beyond my
power. The news is all over the city already," he explained.
"Well," Giovanni shrugged briefly. "Well, there's still more you can do. That is if you truly want to get
involved."
The commissioner of police thought for a moment before he looked up at Giovanni. "You said that Jane
is truly alive?"
Giovanni nodded briefly. "She is. Is anything the matter?"
"You need to bring her in. We will announce to the public that she's still alive. If the police do that, the
media will have no choice but to stay quiet. I think that's the only way."
Giovanni reasoned it immediately and smiled briefly. "I think I like that. I will send Alex to bring her over.
And it had to be this night."
The commissioner of police nodded briefly. "You don't need to worry. It will be tonight. Besides, we
have to stop the spread of the news as early as possible. So, yes, we will finish it all tonight." He
finished and stood. "I will be waiting for your call."
Giovanni nodded briefly and picked up his phone to call Alex. It rang but he didn't pick it up.
He called him for the second and third times, yet Alex wouldn't pick up. What was happening?
Had something happened to Alex?
