CHAPTER 83FINDING THE REAL CULPRIT “What do we do now, boss?” Mark asked Grey after a while of silence. He has never seen Grey in a dark and unexplainable mood like this. Only the terror in his eyes would be enough to smear one alive.Grey remained silent. Everything sounded unbelievable to him.“Boss, I'm still waiting for your response. What action would you like to take?” Mark asked again.With deadly bloodshot eyes, he peered into Mark's eyes and took a deep breath. “You know how best to handle this situation, right? Just make sure you don't take into consideration any relation that I and the woman shared. Deal with her accordingly,” Grey instructed and zoomed off with few words.At the Sims mansion, Elena was seated on the couch, drenched in tears as she held a frame of Cynthia in her hands while she thought of how life had turned against what she planned.“Don't worry, you'll soon be fine,” she mouthed to herself before jolting out of her thoughts when the door flung ope
CHAPTER 84ARE YOU MY EX WIFE Stepping into the Shuns mansion to take a quick shower before going to check on Mark and Elena, Grey felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. Reluctantly, he tossed his hands and took it out, and seeing the caller ID, his face flushed with a frown before he hissed and rejected the call after seeing that it was the same mysterious number who was calling.“What the fuck! Is this person crazy?” He mumbled to himself furiously when the number kept calling persistently.I think I need to warn whoever is doing this nonsense!” He mumbled and picked up the call with fury when the number called for the twentieth time.“Are you crazy or something? In fact, who the hell do you think you are to make me waste precious time just because I was stupidly waiting for you? You know what, you're just lucky that I don't know your address or anything about you; if not, I swear, I'll do everything in my power to find you and make sure that you're well dealt with! Nonsens
CHAPTER 85 HAPPENING TOO FAST “Fuck!” Grey screamed, breathing under his nostrils. He ran his hands over his head as he paused and placed a hand on his waist. “What the hell is going on? Why are all these things happening to me!” He lamented, and before he knew it, his vision was getting blurred as tears clung to his lashes. Immediately, he hopped into his car and headed straight to the rehabilitation center. Since the day Cynthia was taken there, he had never bothered stepping his feet there to pay her a visit. “What the hell is going on?” he rambled inwardly after waiting at the reception for more than thirty minutes since when the nurse promised to inform him. Cynthia has a visitor. “What do we do, doctor? You know how powerful this man is; I'm afraid he might sue us in court if he learns that his wife had escaped!” The nurse explained in panic. “Give me a minute,” ’the doctor said and left with confidence. “D—doctor, is everything okay? How's she doing? Where’s my wife?” G
CHAPTER 86 WE'RE WITHDRAWING OUR SHARES“Follow me,” Grey instructed the secretary as soon as he stepped out of his office. Marching towards the conference room, his mind kept racing, conceiving different thoughts regarding the urgent meeting. When he entered, all the members were seated with their faces tight up in a frown. From their expression, he can tell that the urgent meeting must have been arranged due to a pressing ugly event. “Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for coming late,” he said apologetically as he sat down while his secretary stood beside him. “You don't need to apologize, Mr. Grey. We were the ones that organized the meeting without your consent, so we should be the ones apologizing instead,” one of the men said courtly. “Alright. So to what do I owe this important invitation from my dear shareholders? Please, I'll love it if we can conclude the meeting on time so I can get back to the bunch of work on my table.” Grey said with a polite tone as he rolled his
CHAPTER 87LILA, YOU'RE ALIVE!The message beep sound of her phone jolted her out of sleep. “Everything is done, ma'am. We've all withdrawn our shares. Thanks for the payment.” The voice of the man echoed from the voice note he sent to her.Lila stretched her body as she stumbled out of the bed.In a nick of time, all the dramas that had been happening lately involving the Shun family flooded her head, and she couldn't keep away from smiling.She stood at the large mirror hung on the wall and smiled at how far she had gone with her revenge. Even though she had spent a lot to convince the shareholders to withdraw their shares, it is nothing compared to the accomplishment of her goal.Seeing Grey's face wrapped up with frustration was one thing that gave her the utmost joy.Without hesitation, she drew near the bedside table and grabbed her phone to place a call.“Hey, how's she doing? Is she still breathing?” She asked as soon as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.“Yes,
CHAPTER 88FIND HERJust as planned, Mark ensured that he convinced Grey to dump the old woman on the lonely, secluded streets.Almost suffocating from the dust of the unwashed sacks, Lila wasted no time storming out of the building an hour after the place became silent.“Fuck! I almost got caught! You need to be more careful next time, Lila!” She scolded herself.The ride back to the Shun's mansion lasted for thirty minutes. As soon as they approached the parking lot, Grey's phone began to ring.When he checked the caller ID, he wasted no time in picking it up.Mark's brows slightly furrowed in confusion. For the long time he had known Grey, he had never seen him pick a call from a strange number on that particular phone.“Hey, what's up?” He said that as soon as he picked up the call.“Were you able to trace her?” Her? he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.“Yes, boss. I'll send you pictures of her address now. I don't think that lady is who she made people believe she is.” Th
CHAPTER 89 IS THAT MAN MY FATHER? “Where is she?” Grey asked with a disgruntled look. “W—where is who?” Aunt Kendy replied wittily, putting up a look of confusion on her face. “Where is Lila, ma'am Kendy? Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!” Grey retorted, his voice rising to a higher pitch at every word she uttered. “Look, Mr. Grey, I still don't know what you are talking about. Have you started going insane? How can you barge into my house and start asking me questions about the same woman you betrayed and sent to her early grave?” Aunt Kendy ranted, threatening to call the police on him if he didn't disappear from her door. Her words sent a chill down his spine. Instantly, a wave of guilt blew over him. Every day of his life since the departure of Lila, he had been secretly living with that guilt of being the root cause of her death. Even though he never loved her, Cynthia has been unable to fill that space that she left. “Oh, are you still stan
CHAPTER 90HE KNOWS ALREADY. “Ethan, I said you should go inside. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m
CHAPTER 92THE DNA TEST“Mr. Brian, do you know that man? And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily.“Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time.“But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added.“What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital.“I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded.“Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she doesn't even have
CHAPTER 91Brian returned to his house early in the morning so that he could get ready for work. Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a
