Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: A murderer on the ship

Gregory already got the ship ready. In fact, the men were already making their way inside the ship after getting tattooed when Grey arrived.

Alfred moved closer to him. "I need to ask you a question, Hercules."

Grey looked at him and nodded briefly. "What's it all about?"

Alfred sighed. "I wanted to ask about Leo. Should we-," he hesitated. "I mean, I don't know how you will take this in," he paused as he let out a sigh. "Should we take Leo in?"

Grey clenched his teeth unconsciously. "No. I don't want a murderer on my ship!" He muttered and walked away.

Alfred sighed and looked at him until he was out of sight. He knew that Grey wouldn’t agree to it anyways. Though, he still needed to take it easy. But he knew it wouldn't be so easy to forgive a man that killed one father.

Alfred didn't know if it was good to leave him at home alone. He had no idea what Giovanni would be upto. What if they check his house, find him there, and kill him?

Well, Grey wouldn't care about this. He's sure he wouldn't be bothered if Leo dies. He walked closer to Gregory.

"I need to speak with you," he told him and watched him round off his chats with one of his men. The men were still having the tattoo and entering the ship.

"Is anything the matter?"

Alfred nodded briefly. Tm worried about Leo. Grey doesn't want us to bring him over and I'm worried about leaving him at home alone. I won't be having any of my men over there because they would need to be tattooed," he explained.

Gregory thought for a moment. "That's right. But do you think we should really be protecting Leo?"

Alfred huffed. "I don't believe what you are saying. Are you trying to say we should leave him to die?"

"Well, he's partially useless to us now."

"Fuck Gregory, he's one of us."

Gregory shook his head briefly. "He's not. If he is, he wouldn't have killed Hercules."

Alfred sighed. "But we don't even know what happened that day. We aren't sure of everything."

Gregory shook his head again. "You are missing something here, Alfred. Grey saw him and Charles confirmed it. Why do you want another explanation? You know what, Alfred? I think we should forget about Leo."

"But I still think we should give him an audience. This is what Grey thought and why he let me keep Leo in the first place. He's just mad that he killed his father. We should talk to him about this," he tried to make him see the reasons.

Gregory regarded him for a moment. "How do you know he doesn't remember? For all I know, Leo might be trying to play us. He's always secretive and I thought it was because he was Hercules's right hand. What if he's trying to protect himself by lying that he doesn't remember anything?"

"Greg!" Alfred called in frustration.

"Don't Greg me, Alfred! I am mad about all this! I am as angry as Grey is. And I won't hesitate to kill the murderer of my friend. I know you won't either."
