In the opposite room, Zack inspected the room after leading Griffon in.
Seeing that the occupant of the room happened to be absent, Zack breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around to face Griffon and raised the card, a confident smile spreading across his face.
“My hacking skills aren’t too bad, isn’t it?”
Griffon gave him a firm pat on the shoulder to express his approval before his expression turned ice-cold.
“Zack, did you send someone to follow me?”
When Griffon’ hand was on his shoulder, Zack felt an invisible pressure that weighed thousands of kilograms on him.
His body was stiff, his face pale. Zack was so secretly guilty that he couldn’t even bring himself to look at Griffon. All he could do was maintain his head lowered as he confessed the truth.
“Ms. Davies was afraid that you’d expose your identity, so I had no choice but to send our men to follow you…”
Griffon’ thin lips parted slightly as an icy glint flashed through his eyes. “Don’t forget who you’re working for.”
The man’s cold reminder was undoubtedly a blow to Zack’s heart,
who couldn’t help feeling sorry for having disappointed Greyson.
Zack raised his head and vowed in a respectful tone, “I’m well aware that you are the one who saved my life, so there’s no doubt that your orders are mine to obey. I was afraid that you’ll be hunted down and murdered after you reveal your identity, sol took in Ms. Davies’ advice, Alpha Knight, you have to believe that I am only loyal to you in this life, and I have no second thoughts.”
Griffon naturally knew what kind of person Zack was. He did not blame him for it and withdrew his hand from Zack’s shoulder…
Griffon rubbed his fingertips, lost in thoughts about why Taya had gathered troops of police officers to arrest him all of a sudden when his personal cell phone vibrated.
Griffon took out his phone, swiped the unlock button, and seeing the message from Taya, his eyes filled with gloominess once more…
He stared at the message and hesitated for several seconds before typing his reply. “I can’t make it tonight, tomorrow at Nightshade, see you at eight.”
After sending his reply, he instructed Zack in a cold voice, “Go and check about why Neil knows that Greyson forced himself on Taya.”
He and Taya were the only ones who knew about the two interactions they had when he was disguised as Greyson. It was impossible for a third person to know about it.
Even Zack and Andre, who were always by his side, had no idea that he had gone looking for Taya with his identity as Greyson.
Plus, the two encounters happened few years ago, while Taya had known Neil for less than half a year, so she would never have taken the initiative to tell him about it.
Plus, if Taya had made up her mind to arrest him, she would have thrown him into jail right after she returned to the US with Rosalie’s identity.
Yet, not only did she not arrest him, she also blocked his contact after returning to the country.
Her actions clearly meant that she had decided to let Greyson go and that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.
After such a long period, however, she unblocked him out of nowhere and set up a trap to arrest him. It was clearly an odd scene.
After receiving his orders, Zack turned around and swiftly left the room.
Taya, who stood outside the door, had her face sunk when she saw Greyson’s reply.
It was evident that Greyson had agreed to her invitation but all of a sudden told her that they wouldn’t be able to meet and changed the location to his lair.
Could it be that Greyson had arrived, and seeing that she had brought the police along to arrest him, he changed his mind to change the location?
Her gaze raised as she looked around the floor. Apart from the fire escape exit, there were only two elevator s and two presidential suites.
There were two police officers in room 2203, and so was the fire escape exit in room 2204 blocked.
There wasn’t any possible spot for Greyson to hide. It couldn’t be that he had the ability to foretell and know it all in advance, could Feeling suspicious, Taya cast a look at the opposite room, wondering how it was too much of a coincidence for Griffon to appear there…
He had a private manor in Arcadia and was a total clean freak. No matter how luxurious the hotel was, he could never stay in it. How could…
While Taya couldn’t figure things out, Neil took a glance at her mobile phone.
“What? Greyson is not coming?”
The policemen who had wanted to return to guarding the fire exit halted in their tracks when they heard Neil’s startled voice.
“What happened?”
Taya explained to the police officers upon coming back to herself.
“Police officers, I’m sorry, but Greyson may have found out about our actions. He has informed us to change the time and location,
so he won’t be showing up today.”
After apologizing, Taya gave the police officers another bow. I’m sorry that your trip is in vain.
Although the police felt that it was a waste of police force, they did not blame Taya and Neil for it, and instead, reminded them to seek their help again should they face any issues.
After Taya and Neil expressed their gratitude to the police, the police followed by the crowd of hotel staff sca ttered away…
Neil and Taya then took the elevator to come all the way to the underground parking lot before getting into the car.
As Neil started the car engine, he inquired with Taya. “Greyson is very cu nning, will you be meeting him tomorrow?”
After setting up the huge trap and failing to capture Greyson, Taya was a little uncertain. “Nightshade is his territory, who knows if I may not be able to make it back alive.”
As soon as Neil drove out of the parking lot, he turned to glance at Taya sitting in the front pa*senger seat. “We got so many police officers to come for nothing today, and I’m too embarra*sed to get them to come with us again tomorrow, but if you want to arrest him, I’ll get a group of gangsters to back us up!”
Seeing how Neil had always been enthusiastically helping her out, Taya’s heart felt warm. “Thank you, Mr. Sherwood…”
Neil let go of his right hand which was initially holding the steering wheel and waved his index finger at her. “Don’t get me wrong, I just like catching criminals! It’s thrilling!”
Taya was at a loss for words.
She shouldn’t have expected anything from Neil’s “kindness”!
In the hotel, Griffon swiftly left the room after receiving the news. that those pacing outside the door had left.
He hurried into the elevator to go searching for Taya when Zack’s call arrived. “Alpha Knight, I found out that a month ago, someone impersonated you and injured Ms. Palmer with a knife in the underground garage of the hospital. That guy almost raped her too, and it was Neil who saved her.”
Griffon’ eyes which were on the descending number in the elevator turned chilly. “Who is that guy?”
Who was it that had the guts to impersonate him and hurt his woman, plus almost took advantage of her?
Zack’s respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Someone whose figure is very similar to yours!”
Griffon’ grip on the phone became tighter, his veins bulging. His face was so gloomy that ink almost flowed out of it.
Zack, who didn’t see Griffon’ face, could feel his monstrous anger through the phone, as his heart missed a beat.
Not only did he disguise himself as Greyson, but also tried harming Griffon’ woman!
Huh! Just how outrageous it was for that person to risk his life by provoking Greyson!
While Zack seethed, Griffon’ icy voice drifted into his ears. The address!”
After spitting out those words, Griffon hung up the phone.
He rushed out of the hotel and got into the sports car before starting the car engine and slamming on the accelerator.
The sportscar, at lightning speed, sped all the way to the abandoned factory in the suburbs…
