Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 423

Chapter 423: New billionaire president

Linda was worried sick after hearing the news that Hercules had been killed.She had trouble sleeping the night before.She had even tried Grey's number but it wasn't reachable.

Could it be true? Could Grey really be dead? Linda couldn't believe what she had heard, and she prayed that it was just a rumor.

She knew that Hercules was a powerful man, but he was also a target for many of his enemies.

As she thought about the possibility of losing him, she couldn't help but worry about her daughter, Emily, who had fallen in love with Hercules.

Linda knew that Emily was aware of Hercules' status as a mafia lord, and she didn't want her to be involved in any of it.

She had tried to warn her daughter about the dangers of being with someone like Hercules, but Emily was head over heels in love with him.

Just as Linda was about to break down in tears, Emily rushed into the room, "Mom, are you alright?"

She hesitated as she read through Linda's expression.

Linda let out an exasperated sigh.

"I'm only thinking about Grey.How could he die like that? I don't feel good about it." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Her face beamed with excitement.

"Mom, guess what? Hercules isn't dead!"

Linda was stunned by this revelation, "What are you talking about, Emily? The news is all over the place.Grey was burnt to death! His car exploded! Why would you say he's not dead?"

Emily sat and looked at Linda.

"He's not, I'm telling you, mom.I know what I'm talking about.Grey would have died, alright but I saved him," she explained, "

"How did it happen? Tell me about it.Where is Grey at this moment."

"I don't know but the last time I saw him, he was at his house.Aphrodite and the rest of the elders even came to see him.Actually, this is what happened," she adjusted and waited for Linda to get prepared.

"I saw that some men were spying on him.So, I called him to tell him.I wanted him to fall in love with me after rescuing me.So, I planned to have some guys harass me and Grey was supposed to rescue me.Just as he walked out of the car, it exploded.

"Are you for real?"

Linda's eyes went wide with shock.

"You did what? Plan some men to harass you so that Grey would fall in love with you? That's not ok! How could you think like that?"

Emily rolled her eyes.

"Well, thanks to it, Grey is still alive.Were you not the one worried about him just now?"

Linda was relieved to hear that Hercules was alive and well, but she was also worried about Emily's involvement in all this.

She couldn't imagine what could have happened if Emily had been caught, but she also knew that her daughter was brave and resourceful.

For the first time, Linda was proud of her daughter and even though she hated what she did, she couldn't help but acknowledge her.

If she hadn't done that, Grey would be dead already.

Linda hugged Emily tightly, "I'm so proud of you, Emily.But please promise me that you won't get involved in any more of this.You could have been hurt, or worse."

Emily nodded, "I promise, Mom.I won't do anything like this again.But I just couldn't stand the thought of anything happening to Hercules.He's important to me too."

Linda smiled, feeling grateful for her daughter's bravery and loyalty, ''I know, Emily.He's important to all of us."

Emily has been thinking about it a lot.She even discovered that Aphrodite loved Grey.

Who knows, Grey could love her as well.

There was no need to get in between them.

Asides, it could actually cause her death because Aphrodite was very powerful.

And what position would she leave her mom if she died? So, she has decided to let Grey go.

He was beyond her reach anyways.

It was time for the billionaire meeting and Giovanni was very happy.

He would be able to be the new billionaire boss that day.

Jamal wouldn't be able to stop him, considering the fact that Grey was dead.

The driver pulled to a stop at the venue of the meeting.

One of Giovanni's men opened the door and Giovanni walked out.

He entered the hall and noticed that almost everyone was around already.

Only a few members like Jamal, Gregory, and Alfred were missing.

There were different expressions on their faces but Giovanni didn't care.

He went to his seat, calmly.

One of his men informed him that morning that Gregory and Alfred were in Italy.

They must be trying to get one of the mafia lords to side with them since Hercules was dead.

It doesn't matter, Giovanni would be waiting for them.

He would have devised plans to tackle them.

And after he became the billionaire boss, he would find a way to release Alex.

Once again, he would rule the city of Jacksonville.

A moment later, Jamal walked inside.

He didn't look at him as he moved to his seat.

"The meeting will start," someone announced.

Jamal turned to Giovanni.

"You called this emergency meeting.Could you start by telling us why you did that?" Giovanni nodded briefly.

"I understand.Though, I'm not expecting you to wait this long before you call this emergency meeting.We all know about the demise of our billionaire president.Are we supposed to stay without a president?"

"But it's not in your position to discuss it.You were banned from attending meetings until further notice," Jamal attacked.

Giovanni chuckled softly.

"Nice of you to say that but don't forget the key fact.The president is dead.So, whatever the president has decided is invalid the moment he dies.We are all living.We should discuss the way forward of this club and not otherwise or do you want us to still be headed by the dead?"

"That doesn't even make any sense!" Martin said at once.

"We need to move forward.The king of the world has to be elected from Jacksonville, from this club.We must work towards it."

"But Grey hasn't been gone for a few days.Why aren't we even giving it space?"

"Well, everything has to happen accordingly.We can't risk stopping this club because the president is dead," Gary muttered.

Giovanni smiled softly, glad that his plan was working well.

"Well, Jamal.I don't think you should stress yourself with anything.The majority has always carried the vote here.Why don't you start the vote and let's see what the members think."

Jamal knew he was lost at that moment.

He initially thought he could change everything but when it came to voting, he knew that Giovanni would win.He let out a sigh.

"Alright, we will carry a vote to determine the next decision of this club," he hesitated as he looked around.

The expression on the faces of the men spoke a lot of languages.

They might not even be satisfied by Giovanni's decision but there was nothing they could do about it unless Grey showed up at that moment.

Well, that can't happen because he was dead.

"If you want us to choose a new president, please signify," he muttered.

The men didn't wait for him to finish before they raised their hands.

Only a few people didn't signify.

Those few people weren't present at the meeting.

"See?" Giovanni laughed.

"You need to proceed."

Jamal looked at Giovanni.

"And who do you think should be the next president?"

"Who? Me of course? I should be the new president."

"Yes! He's right!" Gary said quickly.

"He's the new president."

"We should vote again," Giovanni said quickly.

"That will determine what we are to do, right Jamal?"

Jamal didn't respond.

"If you want Giovanni to be the next president of this billionaire club, signify."

Everyone's hands were raised in the air.
