Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1023 Nature as Witness
A group of people were busy taking wedding pictures on the beach. There was a bride, a groom, and a photographer.The groom was clad in a sharp tuxedo, while the bride was dressed in a pretty white bridal gown. They embraced each other on a section of the coral reef along the shoreline, with the ocean serving as a backdrop.Belle nimbly leaped off the tree and told Grayson, "There's a boat over there. I think they came here specifically for pictures. The bride is so pretty."Grayson glanced at Belle, thinking about how she would look in a bridal gown. His heart began to speed up at the mere thought of it.Since their marriage was to be kept a secret, they didn't have a wedding or wedding pictures. All they had was a simple engagement party, and only Finneas and a couple of others had been invited.He had run away because he didn't want to get married, so he hadn't shown up at all.He hadn't gotten the chance to see Belle in her red dress.He was filled with regret at the thoug

After lunch, the two of them took a nap. Grayson asked Belle if she had enough fun, and if she wanted to go back on the boat or spend the night on the island.Belle asked, "Are you sure you don't have to go back to work?"Even though she would love to stay longer, she still had Grayson's job in mind.With a chuckle, Grayson said, "Of course. As long as you're having fun, I can take as much time off as I want."Belle was overjoyed and replied, "Since this is a rare opportunity, let's go somewhere else. We've looked at most of this island, so we can go explore other places.""Alright! Let's pack up and head back to the boat."They shared a kiss and began to pack up their things, planning to leave that very night.While they were packing, Grayson suddenly thought about the ancient tomb and then about the underground river Belle had mentioned earlier. He asked, "Is the underground river you mentioned just now actually underground?""Of course! It's called an underground river, afte
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1025 Number 027
Belle thought about it and stopped being suspicious of him. She replied, "You're just overthinking things. Don't you always tell me not to overthink and make myself worry over nothing? You should take your own advice."Grayson smiled. "I care too much to ignore it."Belle pressed her lips together and looked at him gratefully before replying, "I didn't find any ancient tombs there, but if you'd like to take a look, we can go there together and explore."Grayson instinctively thought about bringing Hunter along if they were going to visit.After all, he was the expert when it came to tombs.They continued chatting a little longer and began loading things back on the boat.Suddenly, Belle noticed something weird. "Grayson!""Yes?""Look over there. Is that a person?"Grayson looked where Belle was pointing and noticed someone lying on the beach. The waves rolled against their body, yet they didn't even flinch.Grayson frowned. "It looks like it. I'll go take a look."As he spo
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1026 What If It Wasn't a Hallucination
The policeman in charge of the case told Grayson, "027 is the one who suffered the most injuries out of all the kids. She had obvious trauma and was unwilling to talk to us after getting saved, and she didn't talk to the doctors or nurses either. She curled up in the corner of her room whenever she was awake. Her injuries didn't only affect her physically, but mentally as well."He sighed and continued, "She's also an orphan. She has no family coming to collect her, so we temporarily sent her to a mental hospital. The hospital director called me two days ago to tell me that she was missing, and we've been looking for her since to no avail. Have you found her?"Grayson asked, "How did she manage to escape?""She secretly escaped at night. The guards thought she was asleep after checking all the rooms, so they weren't paying as much attention.""Aren't there guards by the main entrances?""Yes, but she was acting very strangely that night. She usually never makes a fuss, but she fou
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1027 Danger is Here
Whoever pushed Hunter into Belle's life was definitely connected to the ancient tomb and the woman in the mural. Grayson glanced at the tent again with that thought in mind.In his opinion, there was something unusual about the way 027 had suddenly shown up.Unless he really was overthinking things, and it was actually a coincidence.Belle only emerged from the tent after a long time. Grayson put out his cigarette the moment he saw her.She didn't like the smell of smoke, so he had long stopped smoking in front of her as a habit.The frown on her forehead was a clear indicator of her frustration, so Grayson asked, "What's wrong?"Belle said in a low voice, "Her injuries are worse than whatever we've seen. She definitely was tortured before this. I don't know if she suddenly showed up in the ocean in an attempt to commit suicide or if she was tossed there by someone else."Grayson's expression was severe. If either of those two were the case, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

The police only arrived later in the night. By then, Belle was already asleep in Grayson's embrace.Grayson wanted her to go back to their own tent to sleep, but she was too worried about 027's condition and insisted on staying with her.Grayson couldn't argue with her and simply let her sleep in his arms.A whole group of policemen walked onto the beach. "There's light over there. It's probably Mr. Grayson and 027.""Let's go take a look."The head of the policemen hurried toward the tent and saw Grayson. He quickly called out, "Mr. Page—""Keep it down. My wife is asleep."The policemen all fell silent.They wisely stayed outside the tent, afraid to wake Belle up and subsequently anger Grayson.Most of the people who had joined them were Grayson's personal contacts from the station, and all of them knew about his relationship with Belle.Grayson looked down and gently called, "Belle, it's time to wake up."The policemen all stared at each other in shock. They never knew th
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1029 What Role is He Playing
"Yes. After those kids got rescued, we sent them all to the hospital for thorough check-ups. They were all terrified after what happened, and a lot of them couldn't stop crying or fainting. "Some of them also went mute and even lost their memories, but 027 was the only one who got diagnosed with bipolar disorder."One night, instead of sleeping, she was simply staring out the window with her hair in a mess. When the nurse asked her to go to bed, she simply turned and stared at the nurse without blinking. "The nurse didn't understand and approached her to see if something was wrong, and that's when 027 attacked her and began to choke her."The policeman shook his head and continued, "Luckily, other nurses on the same shift noticed and managed to pull 027 off the nurse. After that incident, the hospital refused to keep her, so we were forced to send her to the mental hospital."Grayson frowned. "What about after she was admitted into the mental hospital?""She became much quieter

The two of them were much faster on their way home than on their way to the island. After all, they had taken their sweet time to look at the scenery and the beautiful ocean around them.They sped up much more on their way back. After all, they were both worried about 027.They reached Maltford early the next morning, and Sam was waiting at the pier for them.The second Belle and Grayson got into the car, she told Sam to go to the clinic. She wanted to check up on 027.Grayson stopped her. "The boat with 027 on it isn't as fast. They're not here yet, but I just got a message from them a couple of minutes ago. 027 is in stable condition, so don't worry.""That means she's fine. She's probably going to make it now.""Yeah, so let's go home first and get some food. We should get some sleep, and then you can go to the clinic once they've returned.""Alright."The two of them reached their house. Sixteen started jumping up and down and barking excitedly at the sight of them.Sixtee

Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" Belle then held her face in her hands and pretended to cry.Sixteen immediately calmed down as it nudged Belle's hands with its paws, trying to comfort her. Belle broke character, revealing a grin. "Are you still mad at me?"Sixteen, appeased, finally got into her arms and launched into enthusiastic licks.Grayson watched the exchange with a hint of envy. "Hey, Sixteen!"Sixteen whimpered and offered Grayson a sheepish look.Belle scolded, "Why are you scolding Sixteen? You're a bad guy!"She then petted Sixteen on its head and stood up. "Let's go! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless. He felt defeated by the pet dog as he watched Belle and Sixteen skip and hop into the house.Meredith had already finished preparing dinner when they arrived. She put on a gentle smile as she watched Belle

After returning to the house, Ava asked, "Why did Xenia go crazy? Wasn't she fine not long ago?"Lena wiped her hands and handed the towel back to Ava. "Someone drugged her and induced hallucinations of her worst fears. She's been on the edge ever since. After all, she did commit all sorts of misdeeds." "Someone?""Belle Walters."Ava was shocked. "Why would Belle drug Xenia?"Ava and Lena had been moving from place to place, seeking a safe hideout ever since they picked up Xenia. They had only found a relatively safe place today, so Ava finally had the chance to inquire about the details.Lena shot her a look of disgust and proceeded to ignore her question.Ava dared not press further and changed the topic. "Now that Xenia's lost her mind, can we still get her to talk?"Lena continued to ignore her and went to scribble down a prescription. She had spent the entire day with Xenia in the basement but hadn't managed to extract any useful information from her. Ava sheepishly c

Meanwhile, Ginger, too, was grappling with confusion. She'd also offered Hunter money, only to be stunned into silence by the astronomical sum in his bank statement. Compared to him, she was practically penniless. The largest amount she'd ever held was a few million Gabriel had won in the lottery—a drop in the bucket compared to Hunter's wealth."Why do you think Mr. Sanders was so wealthy?" Ginger queried, seeking Gabriel's insight.Gabriel was similarly grappling with confusion and remained quiet. However, he was preoccupied with a different mystery. His mind was consumed by the deaths of Penny and Terry. He had taken time to visit the corpses and noted the peculiarity surrounding their deaths. Their autopsies revealed unusual injuries that baffled forensics.Both victims, young adults in their prime, looked as if they'd been scared to death.Aware of Hunter's ties to the Nightwalkers, Gabriel wasn't surprised by the inheritance. Compared to the wealth amassed during the Sanders f
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1268 Proud Of Him
Belle pondered aloud, "While Hunter isn't as averse to exploring tombs as Benjamin, they share a similar disposition. Otherwise, with his expertise, he could easily be making a fortune.""The Sanders ancestors might not have been saints," Grayson conceded, "but perhaps Hunter's grandfather started a positive trend. Like Benjamin, he likely tried to shield Hunter from their legacy. A truly evil man couldn't have raised such a kind son."As Benjamin grew, he remained kind-hearted despite his timidity. And now, Hunter has grown into an upright, kind, and courageous young man. His talent for exploration makes him the pride of his lineage."Belle nodded and sighed. "Money is crucial for a comfortable life today. With what Hunter has, financial worries shouldn't trouble him. He'll be well provided for."Grayson pulled her into his arms and responded, "Don't fret. While Hunter may still be in school, he's mature for his age. He can take care of himself just fine."Belle leaned onto his s

Hunter crouched by the bed, methodically clearing away the books until a single floor tile lay exposed. Prying it open revealed a dark hole just big enough for one person. Grabbing a flashlight, he squeezed through the narrow opening and emerged into a moderately sized room of perhaps about 130 square feet. Wooden boxes, weathered with age and adorned with simple designs, filled the space.Hunter made a beeline for a particular box, brushing off the dust before prying it open. The wooden box was filled to the brim with notebooks. Hunter sat down on the floor, picked up one of the books, and started reading it.This hidden chamber and its contents were discovered by a young Hunter, seemingly guided by destiny. Hunter's father, Benjamin, had buried them, driven by a desire to safeguard their knowledge from Hunter's curious gaze. Fear had gripped Benjamin after learning about the Sanders family's history, the expertise that had seemingly drawn them toward a dangerous path. He

Nora let out a long sigh. "It's fine. Just keep it with you! I don't really need the money right away or anything. Besides, an old woman like me won't be spending much in town even if I tried."Hunter stopped Nora as she was about to leave and took a wad of money from his bag. "I have 20,000 dollars right here. It's far from the actual price, but you can keep it for now. I'll pay you the rest when I can."Nora was stunned. "Where did you get so much money?""It's the money I gathered from donations for the funeral, mostly from Ms. Belle and Mr. Grayson.""Oh, that makes sense. Here I was, wondering how you managed to get such a huge amount from donations. I can tell your friends are really kind-hearted people. You should treat them just as well as they treat you, okay? Study hard and make a name for yourself, and then you'll be able to properly repay their kindness.""Yeah, I know. Anyway, the gold nugget weighs slightly over 17 ounces. So, its worth is about 37,500 dollars. I'll pay y

As the final step of the funeral, the townsfolk gathered for a meal after Benjamin's burial. After Benjamin was buried, Belle and Ginger approached Hunter, inquiring about his plans for the future. Belle expressed her desire for Hunter to stay with her and Grayson, mentioning that their house had plenty of spare rooms. The only drawback would be that it was quite the distance from his school, but they could always arrange a driver for him.Ginger also invited Hunter to stay with her and Gabriel as their house had just finished with renovations. They also had a spare room for Hunter if he were to join their house.Hunter was genuinely touched by their offers, but he still declined them both. "I'd like to stay in my school's hostel for now. I'll think about what to do next when I graduate."Belle and Ginger recognized that they couldn't sway Hunter's decision, so they ceased their attempts to pressure him into making a choice."If you run out of space for your belongings, you ca

Hunter detailed, "I recall every person who came to offer prayers for my father... However, it was during my trip to the restroom that the dogs began barking. Upon my return, I spotted some unfamiliar footprints. Without seeing anyone there, I dismissed it. But upon hearing about Penny and Terry's deaths this morning, I began to connect the dots..."Both Gabriel and Grayson were left speechless.Gabriel exchanged a glance with Grayson before turning back to Hunter. "So, you're suggesting that the stranger who came to town also visited your house to pray for your father before departing to exact revenge on Penny and Terry for Mr. Sanders' death?""Yes.""Why didn't he meet you then?""I don't know.""Any other suspects you have in mind?"Hunter shook his head. "My father and I don't have friends other than you guys. It's just the two of us for as long as I can remember.""Could it be someone else from the Sanders family?" asked Gabriel."I don't think so.

Belle, Ginger, and the rest of the group arrived at 8:00 am. They noticed the crowd alongside police cars at the entrance to the town. The two of them then squeezed through the crowd to make it to the house as soon as they could. "What happened, Hunter?"The policemen were stunned by their sudden arrival. "Who are you?""We're Hunter's friends. You can tell us about what happened."Hunter's eyes gleamed with hope as he greeted them. "Ms. Belle and Ms. Ginger!"Grayson's car stopped in front of the town alongside a truck filled with equipment for the funeral.Without Belle and Grayson's friendship, Hunter would have had to manage all the funeral arrangements alone, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Ginger.Sam remained outside to stand guard while Grayson and Gabriel entered the Sanders family's old home.The townsfolk and the police were shocked when they saw them.They didn't recognize Grayson or Gabriel, but they could tell at a glance that they were really special peo
