Chapter 106: Where’s Leo It was impossible, could the death have come alive? Grey found it strange to even imagine it. Alas! Behold, it was Leo, Charles’ father. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Even after he closed and opened his eyes, he saw the man as he turned around and started towards the elevator. Grey hurried closer to him. If it was true and Leo was alive, then, he must speak with him. He must ask him why he killed his father and attempted to take his life as well.
One of the maids pulling a serving tray rushed out from the room beside Grey, obstructing him for a moment. When Grey reached the elevator, he saw that Leo had taken the ride to the last floor.
Greg rushed to the second elevator as well. His heart was thumping madly in his chest.
He made a calculation, a hard thought at why Leo would be alive and the elders wouldn’t know about it.
Alfred told him that he died in the accident. Even though, he knew that it wasn’t an accident and something fishy was actually happening somewhere.
Damn, he needed to find out. The moment the elevator door opened, Grey hurried out and moved to the second elevator, only to discover it was going up. It seemed like Leo had walked out of it. Grey grunted and turned around, his eyes searching for Leo. He sighed with frustration when he saw lots of people moving around the restaurant. Just then, he caught the glimpse of that familiar clothes, the ones that Leo was wearing earlier when he saw him. Grey released a sigh and dashed closer to him. His phone rang suddenly, and he stopped unconsciously to retrieve it. It was Lan.
Grey’s heart made a sudden thud. If Lan was calling him at that time, then it must be very important. When Grey looked up again, the man was gone. He sighed with frustration and raked his fingers through his hair. Why must Lan call at a such a bad time?
He hurried out of the restaurant anyway since he still needed to pick up Lan’s call.
When he got into the car, the phone had stopped ringing. Grey waited for his call. It didn’t take up to a minute before Lan called back and Grey picked up immediately. “Hello Lan, how are you doing?” “Fine but I’m in a tight place. I just had to get you this news,” he revealed.
“Alright, I appreciate that. And, shoot,” he encouraged. “Alright. So, Audrey is currently speaking with Giovanni. I think he’s planning to betray you. I don’t have the details right now as only Jude was allowed entrance. But I will gather as much information as I can and give your feedback later,” he announced. He knew that Audrey was likely to take such steps. He didn’t even disappoint him.

“Where should I send the pizza to?” “Home, at Audrey’s place. I will call you before you do so,” he pointed out.
Grey nodded once.” Before you go, I want to ask you something. Do you perhaps have any idea where your family might be?”
Lan went silent for a while as if thinking about it.” Some of the men think they aren’t in the city currently.”
“You mean Audrey has flown them out of the country? Is that even possible?”
“I don’t think it’s right anyways. I mean my wife and daughter don’t have what it takes to travel out of the country. Same as some of the men,” he explained. Grey’s head made a thud as the words sank in.” Are you saying it’s not only you? Did Audrey take the family of the others?” There was a reshuffling. “I will call you back. I have to go now,” he notified and hung up immediately.
Grey sighed and got down of the car. He hesitated, thinking back to the man that resembled Leo. If he had caught up with him, it would have been easy for him to realize who he really was. Then, he wondered if Charles knew something about it. Definitely, he would. If his father was really alive, then he would.
