Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Hidden achievement

It was actually surprising that Caramel knew Marco. Well, everyone knows Giovanni but not everyone knows his elders in the mafia group. Caramel got down from the car. “What the fuck is happening?”

Grey got out of the car too and stared at the men for a moment. They were not more than who Grey could deal with within a limited time.

“Is something wrong?” Caramel asked no one in particular.

One of the men moved out, wearing a thick expression. “Marco is dead,” he announced. “And I‘m here to avenge him.”

“What the fuck Max? We didn‘t even have a hand in his death,” Caramel spoke.

Max scoffed.” Everyone will have to pay for killing him. And well, the culprit is here,” he looked on to Grey as if he knew him from somewhere.

“Please, I don‘t know you and I don‘t want to. Can you just move out of the way?” Avery yelled at them, angrily. Max laughed. ” Seriously? She just upset me, get her!” He ordered and several men moved forward. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Grey yelled, pulling the men to a sudden stop. “You should

leave!”

Max laughed even harder. “Now, I‘m so angry. You guys should get them!” He barked. Smoke filled the air around them as the men moved towards Grey.

Grey was silently thankful for the smoke with the hope that Avery wouldn‘t see him fight. He still wanted to hide a lot from her, until it was the right time.

Avery screamed suddenly and Grey moved forward to help but several men were suddenly obstructing him.

One of the men launched an attack on Grey but he caught his hand in a swift and squeezed it harder. Cries of terror erupted from the man.

Grey smiled and kicked at another guy by his right. He punches two more of the men in the chest.

One of the men caught him by the waist and Grey hit him on the forehead. They fell to the floor and Grey stood up quickly to punch him. Another man caught him from behind and sent him reeling backward.

The police siren filled the air around him as he regained his stamina and launched an attack at a nearby guy.

“Shit! The police are here! Let‘s go!” Max muttered and soon, the cars started pulling away.

Grey caught one of the men and punched him in the face but someone pushed him away and he hit his head against the car door.

He felt a serious headache set in and he bent towards the ground while waiting for the

headache to ebb away.

Seriously? You were hiding?” There was a form of amusement in the policeman‘s voice as he regarded Grey for a moment.

Grey didn‘t explain and instead got up. “Where‘s Avery?“.

“She fainted.” Caramel said suddenly and came over to Grey‘s side since it was the driver‘s seat. “I need to take her to the hospital.”

“I will drive, you should go home,” Grey insisted.

Caramel accepted and went away with the police after they had taken her statement, Meanwhile, Grey took Avery to the hospital.

He called her parents to inform them about what had happened. Emma stormed in a few minutes later and at that time, Avery was awake but she had refused to see Grey. But the moment Avery‘s parents were in, Grey decided to enter as well.

Avery was sobbing, “I was so scared. I thought I was going to get kidnapped. Caramel hit the man that was pulling me away,” She explained and it still showed she was shocked.

Grey stood by the door and listened to her.

“I didn‘t know what had happened. I didn‘t even know who killed Marco but he insisted that we would have to pay for it,” she rattled off.

Grey remembered the man he killed while trying to save James. Max must have wanted to avenge his death and it looked like he recognized him as the man. Well, Grey spared a lot of lives and only killed Marco.

“Wait!” Emma cut in quickly. “You‘ve been talking for a while now. I heard Grey was with you when Max attacked you. What was he doing?”

Avery looked up slowly and stared at Grey. Their gaze held and locked for a moment. “He didn‘t do anything. The police just told me that he was hiding beside the car when they got to the scene.”

Grey‘s mouth dropped open in shock. “I knew it!” Emma took it up quickly.” I knew that good–for– nothing would do nothing. He‘s not only poor but also a coward.”

“Emma, can down,” Benjamin pleaded softly.

“No, Benjamin! Don‘t tell me you want to side with him! He‘s just a stupid boy! Imagine him leaving my daughter out of the mess he created,” she opined.

“Wait, Max didn‘t say he created the mess. He only wanted to cause trouble,” he opined.

” Yes, but who knows? Grey is a pauper and could have committed a lot of atrocities. I seriously don‘t believe this is the kind of man my father gave his granddaughter to?” She snarled.

Grey couldn‘t say a word, he didn‘t even know what to say. He walked back to the lobby instead

Caramel moved closer to him. “Hey, is Avery awake?” She demanded.

Grey merely nodded.

Caramel noticed a change in his countenance but didn‘t probe in. Instead, she walked toward Avery‘s room.

She spent a few minutes before she walked out again. Grey couldn‘t leave but he met with the doctor already who informed him that Avery could go home that evening as she only fainted due to shock.

Caramel sat beside Grey. “Are you ok?” Grey nodded but didn‘t look at her.” How is Avery? The doctor said she could go home today.” Caramel nodded.” She will leave soon, I think. Though, I will be leaving now.” Grey nodded again. Caramel regarded him for a moment.” But why didn‘t you tell Avery?” Grey looked back at her, confused for a moment. “Tell her about what?”

“That you fought the men,” she hinted. Grey eyes widened with shock. “You saw me?”
