Chapter 1080 Deserved

Author: Flora Hopkins
Belle reached out to check for Ginger's breath and discovered she was still alive. Afterward, she removed her coat and gently covered Ginger before assessing her vital signs.

"Ginger! Ginger!" Gabriel rushed into the warehouse with bloodshot eyes.

"Her condition is stable now. It seems she was drugged earlier, but someone had already administered an antidote. It will take effect soon, and she's safe."

Gabriel, unable to speak, pursed his lips tightly. His entire body trembled as he stared at Ginger.

Observing Gabriel's intense emotional state, Belle realized how much anger he was suppressing. Belle frowned and said, "Gabriel, I need you to take Ginger to the clinic right away. Simon can conduct a thorough checkup to ensure she's okay."

Gabriel sniffled as he reached out to Ginger.

Belle quietly reminded, "She's not wearing any clothes underneath, so please be careful."

In an instant, Gabriel's gaze shifted toward Belle, his eyes a captivating shade of crimson that revealed a po

    Belle furrowed her brows as she gazed at the lifeless bodies. "We need to call the police, but… Can you keep the news under wraps for now? And find a trustworthy cop to handle the case. "I don't want the details of what happened here to reach the public just yet, and I don't want outsiders meddling with the investigation."How the men had died brought back memories of the kidnappers from Mount Moriah. She recalled seeing pictures of those kidnappers looking eerily similar to the corpses now sprawled out before her, seemingly scared to death.Belle was convinced that it must be the same person who had killed both groups of men. She also realized that Ginger's kidnapping this time wasn't just a coincidence.Belle wanted to keep the case confidential, within the hands of trusted allies, as it had somehow attracted the mysterious man from Mount Moriah.Tristan replied, "I've got this. I'll get in touch with my contacts within the police.""Let me know right away if they discover any

    "Gabe!" Belle's heart ached, seeing him fly into a rage like that. She pulled him into her embrace and choked out, "I know. I know, trust me. I understand. I want revenge, too, but the truth is that they're already dead. You have to calm down, okay? Think about Ginger. She would be terrified if she saw you like this."Gabriel rested his chin against Belle's shoulder and sobbed. "Belle, I feel terrible. I feel like a piece of crap. It's my fault for not taking good care of her. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left her alone at the airport. It's all because of me. It's my fault!"Gabriel's face was wet with tears and snot. He looked like an actual child.He leaned against Belle, his body trembling with pure agony as sobs wracked through him.Belle felt devastated, too. Her heart felt like it was about to break."Don't you dare say that," Belle said, "It's not your fault. It's all because of them and only them. Listen to me, Gabe. You can't leave her side right now. You're the cl

    Grayson responded, "Even if they did take it, it's alright. If they haven't exposed it, they likely have a motive. They might be holding onto it just to make a deal with us or Gabriel. They won't release it so casually if they're inclined to negotiate. So try not to worry about that."Belle felt much better after hearing Grayson's analysis. He did make a lot of sense.Her concerns were temporarily eased. She sniffled and asked, "Can you recall the appearance of the kidnappers in Mount Moriah when they died?""Why?""I took a few pictures of the warehouse where Ginger was taken. I've sent them to you. Take a look."After a brief pause, Grayson said, "These look a lot like how the kidnappers looked after they died.""I agree. I called Tristan when I left and told him to let the police officers handle it. I have a hunch that the individual who took out those kidnappers might be the same person responsible for the thugs in the warehouse."Grayson didn't reply.Belle stated, "I'm un

    Belle and Grayson chatted for a long time before finally ending the phone call. She knew he was busy with plenty of other things and didn't want to waste his time. Besides, she didn't want him to keep worrying about her.Nonetheless, the call did make her feel a lot better. She saw sense in Grayson's words, so she temporarily didn't have to worry about the memory card. She then began thinking about whether what happened to Ginger was purely bad luck.Did Ginger run into such a thing because of her bad luck, or had those people planned it beforehand?The surveillance camera footage she had watched flashed in her mind. Ginger had been attacked the moment she ran out of the airport. They looked as though they had already been there waiting for her.However, they didn't know Ginger, and Ginger had nothing to do with them. Why would they hurt her?The best explanation was that someone had paid good money to hurt her.Belle's frown deepened, and she got up to leave.When she got home,

    Why was Ava coming out of Colette's room?Did Lena have anything to do with Colette?If Ava was there, did that mean Lena was there as well?Belle turned to look at Colette's room with those thoughts in mind.She stared at the room window for two whole seconds. She chose to forget about Ava suddenly leaving for now and leaped onto the pillar next to the room.Belle looked around the room but failed to see any signs of Lena.Perhaps Ava had made the trip alone without Lena.Belle gave up on the search and quickly began to run after Ava instead.She was worried that she'd lose all of her leads. Whether Lena was there or not, it mattered more that she captured at least one of them.Ava was talking to Colette in the corner of a dead end right outside the main gates of the Simmons' mansion.Colette seemed agitated. "Didn't she say she would act today? Why has it been so quiet this whole time? We made a deal. What the hell is this all about?"Ava looked annoyed. "We held up our en

    The other person said something, and Colette fell silent before replying impatiently, "I know. I can ignore everything, but I want Belle dead. And I want to do it quickly! Once Mr. Page returns, I won't have the chance to do so anymore. "I've risked everything to get you out of jail for this! I don't care what you tell Lena as long as I can see Belle gone from the face of the earth before Mr. Page returns."Colette ended the call angrily. She cursed into the empty night air and turned to walk away instead of going back home.Belle chewed on her bottom lip and clenched her fists tightly. From Colette's phone call, she could finally gather that Colette wasn't the only one behind what happened to Ginger. Xenia was involved as well.She had already guessed that those two women had been behind everything. She just hadn't expected that Lena would also be involved.Ginger had gotten hurt because of Belle.Those two women were deliberately hurting the individuals close to Belle, with th

    Ava replied, "Don't worry. Ginger may be alive, but the damage has been done. Belle is devastated, which means Ms. Cahill did what she agreed to. She will complete the remaining two tasks as soon as possible. All you need to do is make sure you've prepared what you promised Ms. Cahill."Xenia took a deep breath. "Alright. Got it.""If you don't want anyone to find out you're involved with us, you'd better not contact us anymore. All you need to do is wait for the results," Ava said."Alright."Xenia let out another long sigh after hanging up. She hadn't anticipated anything going wrong during the very first task she assigned to Lena. She didn't expect so many people to die!Ginger was still alive. Why would that killer kill everyone but Ginger? What were they trying to do?They weren't Ginger's friends, were they? If they were, would they go after Xenia or Colette?After contemplating for a while, Xenia concluded that the likelihood of them targeting her was zero. Ginger was jus

    The crowd around Xenia was at a complete loss. "Hold her down! Don't let her move! Quick, give her a tranquilizer!"One of the nurses asked anxiously, "What's wrong with her? She was fine earlier this evening.""She's not completely conscious. It almost looks like she has lost her mind. Give her a tranquilizer so that she can calm down first, then hurry up and get someone from the neurology department to take a look at her."They forced her back onto her bed.Her eyes were wide as saucers, and she was doing her best to fight back. She was shivering all over, and her skin was pale and damp with cold sweat. It was as if she had just woken up from a nightmare or had just seen something terrifying. Belle was standing outside the window, peering inside. She scoffed coldly.She had injected a potent hallucinogen into Xenia. It magnified someone's deepest fears and was perfect to use against someone who had done many horrible things.Xenia must have hallucinated a terrifying scene.T

    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

    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
