Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 201: Preamble âYou have a company already, a big one at that, what do you want to use the recipe for?â Beatrice asked, still unable to wrap her head around the fact that she was being forced to choose between her daughter and her boss.
Hattie smiled slightly. âNot enough, and this recipe should have been mine. You cheated nature but thatâs over. You will get me the recipe because I promise to do all I can to achieve my aim,â she swore.
â You will not get away with this, Hattie.â Don expressed with hatred.
Hattie looked at Don. â Or what? Are you going to involve Grey?â
One of the men rushed inside and moved to whisper into Hattieâs ear.
Hattie looked up at him, with a shocked look on her face. âEscort our guests out, Henry,â she ordered and one of the men bowed in response.
Hattie stood and followed the guy out of the room.
Actually, Don wasnât able to mobilize the guys to check around Hattieâs house because her security men caught them the moment they parked.
Beatrice looked at Don. âDo you think Richard has found his way inside?â
Don looked at her, disturbed. âWhy would you think so?â
âDonât you think that something is up somewhere? Thatâs why Hattie left hurriedly. We need to get back to the car,â she suggested.
Don nodded quickly. âYes, letâs move.â
They both walked out of the place. Some men were moving towards the back of the house as they walked to the car.
Richard was standing in front of the other car with the men at alert beside it.
âDid you smell it? It smelt like something was burning,â Don observed.
Beatrice nodded briefly. â I thought it was Richard.â
Richard shook his head quickly. âNo, not me. I didnât do anything. I didnât even leave this place, whatâs happening inside?â
Don didnât answer and instead looked ahead. The two followed the path of his gaze.
âIs that not Jimmy?â Richard voiced out.
âJimmy?â Don was skeptical for a moment. âYou know him?â
âYes,â Richard nodded briefly. âHe used to be Audreyâs man but he now works for Hercules,â he explained.
Don looked at Richard as realization hit in. âDoes that mean Hercules is here?
Or is he the one inside the building?â he reasoned.
Beatrice shook her head slightly. âThatâs not possible.â she took out her phone to dial Greyâs number while Don and Richard moved closer to Jimmy.
Jimmy sensed that theyâd not seen him, so he quickly move back to the car, and picked up his phone to call Grey. He did say that Jimmy was supposed to call him after Beatrice and Don had walked out of the building.
Jimmy dialed the number several times but he didnât pick up.
âWhat are you doing here?â a voice jolted him out of his thoughts and he whirled around to look at Don and Richard.
Jimmy swallowed harder. âI-iâm s-supposed-,â his voice faded away.
Richard took his phone forcefully and looked down at the dialed number, âwhy are you calling Hercules? Is he really here?â
Jimmy sighed in defeat. âHe told me to call him.â
Don raised skeptical brows, âwho?â
Jimmy regarded him for a moment. âHercules.â
Beatrice moved closer, âwhere is he?â
Jimmy pointed at the building. âThere.â
âWhat!â Don yelled, âYou let him inside alone?â
Jimmy kept mute.
âYou fool! â Don launched towards Jimmy quickly and caught him by the collar.
âHow dare you!â
âThere I-is nothing I could have done. I donât have the power to stop Hercules after all.â he expressed and Don reluctantly let him go. Though, he was still boiling with rage.
âHe must have been the one causing the havoc,â Richard supplied.
âWe have to do something, what if heâs unable to escape?â Beatrice panicked.
Grey took one of the bags, which was burning already, and threw it outside the window.
His phone couldnât stop vibrating but Grey didnât want to pickup. He didnât have the time to anyways. He needed to get out as soon as possible.
There was sudden noise coming from outside and he knew that the guys had gathered together and were coming towards the room.
Grey raced back towards the dead men and fell flat in their midst.
The door opened suddenly and some men rushed inside. Some stopped around the burning bags.
âWhat the fuck! Do something!â he yelled in anger.
âWhere is he? Where is the intruder?â
And Grey felt soft footsteps advance towards him.
âHeâs here,â the voice responded. âBut I think heâs dead,â the voice added and continued to move closer.
Grey opened his eyes slightly and saw that the man was pointing a gun at him and was still moving closer.
The other men were by the bag of drugs and trying to quench the fire.
âHe has a face mask the other time. Is the mask still there?â someone asked from behind.
âHeâs still with the mask,â he responded. âIâm going to pull it over to look at his face,â he revealed and his hand touched the mask.
Grey opened his eyes and stared up at the man. He went into shock and the hand on the mask froze.
Grey held his hand and squeezed it quickly so that the gun would drop from his hand forcefully. He took it and realized that the others were pointing at him.
He pulled the guy closer to him as the guy fired the shot at him. They were with shotguns, so Grey knew it wouldnât be able to penetrate one body.
âKill him! â someone yelled with frustration.
Grey let them shoot again before he pushed the man over and shot at the guy next to him. The bullet hit the side, piercing through the skin and the man let out a loud cry.
He used the opportunity to make a run for it.
He climbed over the wall, just as Hattie showed up behind him. she looked up at Grey as if she could see through the mask.
Grey smiled, mocking her slightly. He knew how pained she would be by what he did.
Well, it was the preamble and he would do more if she laid a hand on caramel
