Charles swallowed even harder. “You were my friend. And I just had to do what came to my mind,” he looked away.” So, that was why I was shocked when I heard you say he was alive. I knew it wasn’t possible. In fact, we saw a burnt corpse and there was no one else in the house with him when I left,” he explained.
“What the fuck is this?” Luciano exclaimed softly.
“No! What are we supposed to do, Hercules?” Alfred demanded.
Grey regarded Charles for a moment.” That’s all?”
Charles nodded briefly. “That’s all I know, and I promise,” he said truthfully.
Grey released a sigh and looked away. “We need to hear from the horse’s mouth. The only person that can tell us what really happened is Leo,” he expressed.
“But he doesn’t remember anything. How are we sure he’s not suffering from dementia?” Jayden demanded, stressed.
Grey thought for a moment. “You guys need to take care of Leo. We need him to come back. Well, I have a lot of questions to ask.”
Alfred nodded. “I will monitor his health issue, you shouldn’t worry about it,” he assured.
Grey nodded once.” That’s ok.”
“So, what do we do to Charles?” Jayden demanded softly.
Grey looked over at Charles, and let out a sigh. “I will think of something later but it will be because he didn’t open up when he was supposed to. Aside from that, I don’t see his other crimes. What he did when he did to his father was because he was young. I will overlook it,” he stood. “I don’t want anyone to know about Leo just yet until he’s alright.”
They all nodded.
“So, what do you plan on doing about your company?” Alfred asked suddenly as Grey was about to step out.
Grey turned to look at him again, with raised brows. “I don’t understand your question.”
Alfred stood. “I mean you already attended the Billionaire club party with a mask. Why don’t you use this. tactic for Protos Pubblicita? I mean now that it shows you are back, it should also reflect on Protos Pubblicita. Even if it’s once in a while, it would be ok to keep the employee in check,” he advised.
Grey reasoned it for a moment, and when the idea sank in, he smiled. He didn’t even think it to such an extent. A lot has been on his mind.
