Chapter 270: Triggers
"What?" Caramel saw his hesitation but was already curious as to what he was going to say. She didn't know if it had anything to do with the strand of hair that she sent to him instead of the real one.
Or could the one she sent match with whoever Alex was trying to compare it with? That would seriously mean trouble for Grey and she couldn't wait to alert him.
"Grey has been lying to you a lot, to me."
Caramel huffed. "You lied to him too, remember? At least you didn't tell him you were Giovanni's son."
'Well," he hesitated fora moment. "Do you know it was Grey that actually exposed my identity?"
Caramel stared at him for a moment as the words sank in. "What do you mean?”
"Grey tricked me and made me expose everything to him for the sake of a friend. I thought he was my friend but instead, he exposed me to the world."
Caramel sat well. "I sincerely don't understand all you are trying to say. What’s your point about Grey exactly? Because I trust him more than I trust you. Do I even trust you? I doubt that.”
Alex felt hurt for a moment and his face showed a display of emotion but it soon disappeared and Caramel had to wonder if she really saw anything.
"Grey has been the one impersonating Hercules," Alex dropped the bombshell that left Caramel dumbstruck for some minutes
When she finally regained her voice, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Are you kidding? Is this a form of prank? If this is a trick, stop it. I'm not in the mood," she protested in a hatred-filled voice. She was starting to get irritated. Alex lied to her before and she knew he would do it again.
"You don't believe me?"
Caramel snapped. 'Thank goodness you asked. I'm sure you don’t think I'm dumb to that extent. There was no fucking way I would believe you."
"Have you seen Grey with Don? The guy that patrols Megaphone Attitude club?"
And her head did a little flash as images appeared in her head. She remembered vividly when she had issues in Megaphone Attitude Club. Grey had to deal with Don and his men. Though Grey denied anything and told her that he gave them his salary. Caramel still felt it was a lie as she overheard tiny pieces of their conversation and it looked as though Don feared Grey. Caramel knew he had a form of power but she couldn't figure it out and she had to stop searching or probing.
But Wait! Alex said he was impersonating him which means Grey wasn't Hercules.
"How do you know all these? I mean it's not positive. Why will Grey impersonate Hercules? Grey doesn’t even have any money. He’s a lonely and poor man. Are you jealous of him?"
Alex regarded Caramel for a moment. He got pissed at her words but he pretended otherwise. Well, some things could be very difficult to believe. And besides, it would Favour Alex so greatly if Caramel hates Grey. It would give him the chance to move back with her.
"No, Caramel. Listen to me. You might have seen something but you just didn't reason it very well. Charles is closer to Grey."
