Secretly The Billionaire Boss Chapter 417

Chapter 417: A friend

“You still don’t remember?” Maximo inquired.

Grey reasoned it for another moment.

“I don’t seem to remember.”

Maximo moved away from his men and walked closer to Grey.

“On a Saturday night, at Plankton restaurant, I was the one you gave your money to.Do you remember

now?”

Suddenly, Grey remembered it all.

It was indeed a Saturday night.It was at the plankton restaurant, where Grey used to work every night.

Then one day, a boy of his age robbed one of the rich customers.

In fact, the boy would have been taken and maybe whipped or taken to the police station if Grey hadn’t

come in.

He listened to his story and felt bad for him.

Grey rescued him and gave him all the money he had on him at that moment.

Grey had to starve for several days.

“That boy_,” Grey’s voice trailed off.

Maximo nodded briefly.

“That was me.You see how much I suffered? How then could you expect me not to take what belongs

to me the moment I discover it?”

“So, Ferdinand is really your father? Or are you just from the same mother but a different father?”

Grey was confused for a moment.

Maximo nodded once.

“Mattee is the illegitimate son and I am the legitimate son! I have the right to all my father’s properties,

but he doesn’t! Mattee’s mother deserves to die! They made me who I am today! I’m never going to

forgive him! Never!”

Grey sighed.

”Tell me about everything, I want to know.”

In the next few minutes, they were in Ex-Maximo with several drinks on the table in front of them.

Maximo seemed a lot calmer now but he was only with Grey and Aphrodite.

Charles and Aurora were suddenly nowhere to be found.

“My mom wouldn’t tell me anything about my father whenever I asked her.We were living in orange

park with barely enough food for myself.Who would have thought that my father was in Italy and one of

the strongest mafia lords here’’ Maximo released with a fist of rage? He had never been able to stop

thinking about it, about the fact that he could have lived a nice life if it wasn’t because of Mattee’s

mother.

“My mother was killed one night and I started sleeping on the street to survive.It was hard for me, I

stole to survive.I could steal money or food.I just had to do anything so that I could live which was when

you met me,”

Maximo sighed, took his cup of wine, and gulped down its content.

“I relocated to Seattle when I realized that people in Orange Park already recognized me.I was

kidnapped one day and nearly lost my life.So, I went to Seattle,”he stopped to look at Grey.

“That’s really touching, Maximo.No one should pass through what you did.”

“But I did.You aren’t talking about the fact that I did! It was in Seattle that I was able to meet one of my

father’s past workers.He told me everything I needed to know about my father but it was already too

late.My father was dead! He died thinking I was dead.I’m sure that Mattee wouldn’t be where he is

currently if my father knew I was alive.I own everything he has.So, tell me, why shouldn’t I get my

revenge?” Aphrodite sighed.

“Do you know that Hercules’s parents are dead? ” She asked suddenly.

Maximo nodded once.

“I know his father is dead but I wasn’t sure about his mother.” Grey slipped his wine slowly.

“His mother died when he was very young and his father died when he was barely fifteen.He lost his

memory and had to live like he was nobody,”

Aphrodite sighed again as if recalling how painful it was.

“We searched for him everywhere, Maximo.We couldn’t find him and his father had no other son.And

guess what? His father was killed by his closest friend.”

Maximo’s eyes grew smaller.

“And what did you do to him?”

Grey placed the cup on the table and looked at Maximo.

“The man that betrayed my father was the father of my right-hand man, Charles.He was the man you

saw here earlier,” he revealed and Maximo was shocked.

“What would you have done, Maximo? Would you have killed him and risked being an enemy of your

hand man? That aside, I was closer to Charles. Would I have done that to him?”

Maximo sighed and looked away.

“Your story is even more touching.So, what did you do?” Grey smiled softly.

“I punished him, especially when I saw that he was sober.He regretted his actions and well, it wasn’t

entirely his fault.It’s just like Mattee.His mother obviously did everything.Mattee shouldn’t suffer for his

mother’s sin.”

Maximo didn’t talk for a while as he drank more of his wine.

“What do you think I can do, Hercules,” he looked up at Grey.

“How could I even have a heart like you?”

“Will you spare Mattee?” Maximo nodded once.”You helped me once, I’m very much indebted to

you.So, I will do what I can but,” he hesitated for a moment.

“He still has to suffer.I won’t kill him, that I promise you.Grey smiled again.

“Thank you.By the way, I need something else from you.I won, remember?”

Maximo smiled, for the first time.

“Alright, tell me.What do you want? But you have to make me a promise as well.”

Grey nodded once.

“What do you want?”

“What do you want?”

“You go first, Grey.What do you want?”

“I want Aurora,” Grey revealed.

Aphrodite looked at Grey at an alarming rate.

“What?”

“Not for anything else, Novia,” Grey said quickly amidst laughter.

“I just want her freedom.I want her to study.”

Maximo regarded Aphrodite and Grey for a moment, a smile dancing on his face.

The two were acting as if they were dating.

“Done Grey.Now, it’s my turn.I want us to be best of friends.”
