Chapter 124: Young Master Grey nodded briefly and turned away, as he felt a sick feelingovertake him.
He didn't want to talk about it.
He didn't want to give the elders unnecessary reasons to worry.
Leo was dead anyways, They just needed to find the spy and make life easier for him.
"Who? Do you know who it was?" Alfred probed in.
Rio had an accident that led to the explosion of the car.
They had to bury him with the car.
So, there was no way to track anything, not even go for his autopsy.
That aside, the elders wouldn’t want it.
Why? Because even Rio forbade it for Victoria.
Doing it for Rio would mean they disrespected him.
Grey sighed.
“I didn’t see his face,” he lied.
Well, he believed it was the best at that time.
It wasn't the best time to get everyone on edge.
He would tell them at the right time.
Alfred released a sigh.
“This is surprising.
Why didn't I think to that extent?" He looked over at Grey, noticing the change in his attitude.” Are you
ok? Will youcome down now?" Grey looked at him and nodded severally.
"Let's go." They got down from the car and Alfred retrieved some flowers from behind the car.
They walked through the path until they entered the cemetery, however, they still had to walk some
miles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVictoria and Rio weren't buried together, as they died in different cities.
Though, the elders thought Grey might be back soon to decide how he wants it to be.
Alfred stopped in front of a grave and dropped the flower beside it.
He started at it for a while.
“So, Victoria.
I brought your son," he smiled softly as if he was really speaking with her.
Then, he turned to look at Grey who hesitated before he moved closer.
"I will leave you for as long as you can manage.” He hit him slightly by the shoulder before hewalked
away.
Grey walked closer and regarded the names on the tombstone.
Victoria was his mother's name and he didn't even know.
There was so much that he didn't know about his mother because she died earlier.
And as the enemy would have it, he lost both his parents before he even reached fifteen.
The pain would have been very worse for him if he didn’t suffer memory loss.
Perhaps, he would have died.
Well, memory loss could also be a result of the shock.
The shock of seeing his father's friend kill his father and also shoot him.
Grey closed his eyes against the tears that threatened to fall from his eyes.
He blinked it back successfully.
Instead, he knelt in front of the tomb and slowly placed the flower on it.
He smacked his lips and got up eventually.
"Young master?" A soft voice reached his ears suddenly but he didn’t reply, thinking it was
probablydirected at someone else.
“Young master,” the voice sound nearer now.
Suddenly, a hand whirled him until he was looking down at a woman in her late thirties.
There was a confused look on her face as she beheld Grey.
"Young master," the word came out again, and her eyes went wide with shock that Grey wondered
what was really happening.
"Is it really you?" She stared down at him as if taking in his personality.
“Who are you?” Grey was more than shocked.
A stranger screaming 'young master' all of a sudden was very weird.
The woman smiled so brightly and it looked like she hadn’t done so in years.
She reached for his hand and engulfed it in hers.
"I'm Beatrice, your mother's closest maid," she introduced herself softly." I thought I would never see
you again.
I’ve always come here for the past ten years.
I thought I would never see you again.
I was going to die for not fulfilling my promise," she sobbed quietly.
Grey’s head made a flip.
"Wait, you are my mother's maid? The one closer to her? You were the one that went away the night
shedied? You killed her?" Beatrice shook her head slightly as the tears streamed down her face.
“I didn’t.
I would never hurt her or you or even anyone related to Hercules.
She told me to leave and never come back unless you are ready to continue her project,” she
explained.
Grey was still shocked.
" What do you mean? I don't understand you." Beatrice sniffed.
“I will tell you everything.

Well, I must do so." Grey regarded the woman for a moment and realized the weird dressing.” You said
you were waiting for me?” Beatrice nodded quickly.
"I've almost turned this place into my home but I knew that you would come.
I was going to wait until you came.
I didn't know you would have grown into this handsome young man.
I'm so shocked, I'm sure your mother would be happy," she started sobbing afresh.”I’m so happy.” Grey
came to his mother’s graveand should have been the one crying but he ended up consoling Beatrice.
He got a bottled water for her.
"Are you alright?" Grey asked as he sat beside her.
Beatrice nodded once.” I used to be your babysitter.
I mean I was very close with your mother and we moved closer,” she stated and stared into space,
witha smiling face as if she was looking at someone.
"What did you want to give me? Why are you always waiting for me?” Grey asked, skeptical.
Beatrice looked at Grey.” Your mother was killed.
She was poisoned.
She had been taking the poison without even realizing about it.
She found it recently but it was too late.
She didn't want to trouble you and well, she planned on telling Hercules that night.
But the poison took effect even that night." LUL Grey's heart made a sudden thud.” What? But why?
Who?”.
Beatrice sighed.
"Smooth Therapy was launching their products and Victoria had always wanted to create a cream
company.
She had workers and she did a great job in securing nice perfumed cream.
Hattie wants this.
She either has it or Victoria wouldn't be able to use it,” she revealed.
