Chapter 237: More
The door opened suddenly and Charles walked inside.
Grey turned to look at him. “Where’s Fred?”
“Caught. He’s in the other room, awaiting your order,” he responded.
Grey nodded briefly and looked at Cole. “I will soon be done here. It turns out I won’t need to waste my
time too much since Fred has been caught,” he muttered.
Cole groaned as he tried to regain himself.
“Has he said a word?”
“He’s acting stubborn. I need you to bring his child and wife here. Maybe he would talk by then,” he
teased.
Please, don’t take my family. I’m begging you,” he expressed.
Grey turned to look at Cole.” Why should I listen to you?”
Cole groaned. “Please, don’t hurt them. I’m begging you,” he cried.
“Then, I’m going to be asking you for the last time. Who sent you, Cole?”
Cole groaned inwardly. “I don’t know, I receive orders from the phone.”
Grey regarded him for a moment.” How did he collect your number? Who is the middleman?”
Cole groaned again. “Todd.”

“Todd?” Grey repeated. “Who’s that?”
“One of Giovanni’s elders. Is he back? I thought he was out of the city since the day you got missing,”
Charles explained.
Grey gathered his brows.” So, that means he’s as old as Giovanni?”
Charles nodded briefly. “He’s one crafty old man. I didn’t even know he was still alive but hearing from
Cole, I’m certain he’s in Jacksonville as we speak.”
”
“Do you think Giovanni sent him?”
Well, yes. He could even add monetary benefits. Though, Todd is closer to Giovanni as I’m supposed
to be close to you.”
You can’t bring down Giovanni. He’s very older than you and that’s experience. You are just so young.
You will eventually fail,” he rattled off.
Grey regarded him for a moment and shot him. “Send his head to Cole,” he hesitated. “Don’t touch his
family.” He finished and walked out.
Charles stared for a moment, shocked.
Grey was about to enter the other room where Fred was when his phone rang suddenly. He didn’t stare
down at the screen for a moment. Why was Maria calling his number?
He picked up anyway.
“Hi, Maria,” he took a few steps away from the door. “Is everything alright?”
“Not really sir. I have something to inform you of. You are at your estate right?”
Grey nodded once and remembered that she wasn’t near.” What is it all about?”
“Jones came in minutes ago to inform me that a strange man was asking about you from one of the
workers. When they heard that you didn’t come to work, they left. I sincerely don’t know who they are
but I had to warn you to be very careful. Something seems weird,” she explained.
Grey thought for a moment, as he let the words sink in. Maria was right. They couldn’t have been
someone he knew. They could have been sent by Giovanni or anyone associated with him. He was the
only one bent on seeing what he looked like.
“Thanks for informing me. I will get back to you,” Grey finished and hung up.
“Did something happen?” Charles asked suddenly.
Grey pocketed his phone and turned to look at him. “Not really. I will see Fred before I leave,” he didn’t
say more words and instead moved towards the door. He hesitated when his hand touched the knob.
“Are we leaving together?”
“No, I don’t think we can because of what you just asked me to do.”
Grey let go of the knob so that he would be able to look at Charles. “I’ve changed my mind. I’m leaving
now. I will come back for Fred. Send the men to fetch Tiana,” he ordered and started walking towards
the living room.
Charles watched him for a moment, skeptical and not even understanding his recent behavior.
Grey waited in the living room. It didn’t take up to a few minutes before Tiana walked out, clad in
black trousers and a tank top.

“Boss, I heard it’s time to leave.”
Grey looked up at her. “Yes, we have to leave now. It’s getting too late. You should be beside your son.
when he wakes up.”
Tiana smiled softly.” What you asked of me, would I start with it immediately?”
Grey shook his head slightly and stood, hovering above her by several inches. “I’m cooking something
up and I will let you know how it turns out. Do you have a cellphone?”
She nodded briefly.” But I must have dropped it somewhere.”
Grey nodded briefly. “I will get you a new phone so we can exchange numbers,” he informed me
and walked out.
Tiana followed after.Quickly, she was brimming with joy.They walked out to the opening,a car already
waiting for them.Grace slipped inside.Send me your account details andI will credit you with
something.Tiana nodded briefly and entered the passenger seat.Gray couldn't stop thinking of the plan
he had in mind.If he could use it, it would be efficient.But Charles was worried, and he didn't knowif the
elders would be as well.Though Alfred understood him very well, maybe he wouldhave to talk to him
first before the others.I won't be able to follow you tothe hospital, but I will definitely come afterwhen I'm
less busy, he promised.Tiana nodded again.Thank you so much.I really appreciate it.Gray nodded at
her.Instead, he sent a message to Jimmy.His phone rang immediately.It was Jimmy. Hello?Hi, boss.I'm
done with my research, Auntiana.Should I send it, or would Ibe giving it to you in person?I will be in
Jacksonville soon.I will collect it in person.Make sure the other one is ready too.All right, boss.The line
went off, andGray suddenly remembered something.He dialed Jimmy's line.He picked up
immediately.Hello, boss?I want you to find somethingon Todd, one of Giovanni's elders.I want to know
where he lovesto go and how to meet him. Uh.
