Chapter 548
Chapter 548: Lost Wristwatch Grey's heart was beating faster as he drove. He pressed on the accelerator, increasing its speed.
Several cars horn while some passed insults as he zoomed past them. But Grey barely saw them.
His mind was ahead of him. What could have happened? How could the SU world have caught fire? There was no way that would have happened.
There was definitely something else he didn't know. Something was definitely wrong and he was sure of it. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
His heart went to Giovanni. Could it be him? He was actually the only one that he could suspect. Well, he was the only one that would do anything to free his
son.
His phone rang suddenly but Grey barely heard it as he sped off, driving as fast as he could.
He only stopped in front of SU world company. As Charles had said, there were firefighters everywhere, trying to quench the fire but it looked like the fire has done more harm already.
The documents, the files, and everything in the company are all gone.
Someone tapped him suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts.
He looked down at a boy of around ten age. He stretched out a letter to him.
Grey took it and watched the boy walk away. He entered his car and broke the > J1(
cover.
It was from Giovanni. It read 'Release my son or you will see more.’ What more was he supposed to expect? SU world was like his baby. Well, he was the one that carefully started and grew the company. What else was he going to collect from him that would be as painful as the SU world? He regarded the building for another moment and released a sigh. What was he supposed to do? His phone rang almost immediately. It was Alfred. Grey hesitated before he picked it up.
"Hello, Grey." Grey released a sigh. "Hi, Alfred."
"1 just heard about SU World. Are you alright? How did it happen?" Giovanni. He sent me a letter to release his son or he would do more," he revealed.
"Well, knew he was going to do anything to hurt you, especially because you have his son now. But well, I have something else to discuss with you. Are you at home currently?" "Not yet but I will be on my way now." Alright then, I will meet you at home," Alfred muttered and the phone went off.
Grey looked at the company again and he felt a purge of sadness. He could just kill Alex at that moment and end
everything. It wouldn't be so bad.
He drove out of the street. His phone rang again but this time, it was Charles. Grey didn't pick up since he was driving.
He placed a call to Charles after he has pulled off in his garage. Charles picked it up immediately. "Yes, Charles." "I'm in your house, waiting." When Grey got inside the living room, Charles was truly waiting for him.
"Boss, I'm sorry about your company but do you think we should release Alex." Grey shrugged it off and moved to sit.
"1t doesn't matter if I release Alex or not. Giovanni wants to get rid of me and he wouldn't stop until he has done 50," he explained.
Charles nodded once. "So, what do you plan on doing?" "Well, Giovanni has threatened me to release his son but I will do no such things. I think it's time for Jason to take over the case then," he announced.
"The FBI?" Charles raised a skeptical brow.
Grey nodded once. "That's the only way I can do it. It's not yet time for Alex to live as a free man. I will not let Giovanni rescue him." "Alright, that's good as well." The door opened suddenly and Alfred walked inside.
"Hercules," Alfred called suddenly as he moved closer to Grey. "I need to tell
you something." Grey looked at him fora moment. "Is this about SU World? Or Giovanni itself?" "Well, it's not really about Giovanni but it's definitely not about SU world.
It's about your father." Grey sat up with interest. "What is it all about?" Alfred sat in front of Grey. "It's about something that belonged to your father." "Well, I have everything that belonged to my father." "Not all, Grey. You definitely don't know about it. I'm talking about your father's silver wristwatch. The one he paid millions of dollars for the maker to make," he explained.

Grey regarded Alfred fora moment. "A silver wristwatch?" Alfred nodded once. "In fact, the funniest of this is that the watch has a kind of recorder on it. It can be a video or audio recorder.
Charles moved to sit beside Grey.
"Grey, youdon't remember?" Grey wasn't able to answer as some images went past his eyes quickly. He saw himself talking to his father and looking down at the wristwatch because his father was very tall.
Grey looked at Alfred again. "That small wristwatch contains hidden information?" "yes, Grey and I thought we'd lost ita long time ago.
Grey raise a skeptical brow. "So?" "Well, I've found it at last!" He announced suddenly. = Grey was a bit confused but he smiled nevertheless. "Where's it currently?" "An auction is coming up tomorrow's night. And it's part of the things to be auctioned," Alfred revealed.
Grey felt a stab of annoyance. "Why is my father's wristwatch among those things to be auctioned?" "I sincerely don't know," Alfred said sincerely. "But I suspected it has been with Giovanni all these while because the wristwatch holds a lot of secrets." Grey sighed. "If Giovanni has it. Then he would have erased all the secrets in
there? Why do you think it's worth bidding for at the auction?" "Because there's a huge probability that It has not been with Giovanni all these while. If it hasn't, then we could use the content to bring Giovanni down." "He's right," Charles chimed in. "I think we really need to get that wristwatch back. It's very important." Grey thought about it for a moment.
"Alright, let's do that. will call Jason tomorrow then so he could come and get Alex. Then, Iwill get my father's wristwatch tomorrow."
