Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1245 What's Wrong and Right
Hunter's surprise at Robert's mention was palpable. "Does this mean the Hannibal family has fallen?""Yes, we've caught their boss, and we've taken over Mandoria," Grayson declared. Hunter's excitement was evident. "Really? That's great news!"Despite his youth, he shared Belle's fervent disdain for Mandoria, yearning for its downfall.Sam had been waiting for them at the tent. He ran up to them upon spotting their return. "Mr. Page!""Where's Belle?" asked Grayson."She's still resting in the tent. Are you both alright? Any injuries?"Hunter shook his head and replied, "Nope.""You're amazing, Hunter! I heard that everyone who ventured underground died, yet you came out unscathed!"A blush crept up Hunter's neck at the sudden praise. He turned to Grayson. "Mr. Grayson, please keep the tomb's location a secret. The family within… they prefer their privacy. Besides, the journey's too dangerous for most folks."Grayson nodded his agreement just as Robert approached. "Don't wor

The elite soldiers dispatched to Mandoria had indeed been trained under Sean's tutelage, a fact Robert readily acknowledged as crucial to their success. However, honoring Sean with a medal, even posthumously, proved impossible.Everyone had their priorities. And now, with Sean gone, Robert would ensure his children were looked after financially.Moreover, Robert recognized the impracticality of harboring feelings for Belle. As Commander, his duty lay in safeguarding the nation, not building a family. His role was that of a knight, protecting Belle from all threats.Just like when he'd first accepted the mission—his sole focus was to keep Belle out of danger."Have the men pack up quietly and retreat. And ensure the tomb's location remains undisclosed," Robert instructed."Yes, sir.""And instruct them to make as little noise as possible. Belle's still asleep."Observing Robert's demeanor toward Belle, the soldier couldn't help but note its peculiarity.The Commander, a man rumo

Belle was still extremely furious. "You say that, but you still knocked me out cold just to stop me from going to the tombs! No, wait, you hit me… You actually hit me! Do you want to fucking die, Grayson Page?""Calm down, please. Sam and Hunter are gonna make fun of us," Grayson interjected, attempting to diffuse the situation.Sam, at the wheel, stiffened. "I'm not! I'm focused on driving, so I can't hear what you guys are even talking about! I swear!"Hunter shot Sam a bewildered look. "Should I pretend I'm deaf too?""... Are you kidding me, boy?"Upon realizing what was going on, Hunter awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Belle finally decided to stop her rampage. She angrily glared at Grayson as she asked, "Sam, what's going on in Mandoria right now? Where's Robert?""Robert's troops are mopping up," Sam explained. "Just a matter of time before they round up the remaining criminals. The Rolands and Hannibals are still fighting, but the other families are out. "Rob

Meredith came out of the house. She had been staying there caring for Sixteen in Grayson and Belle's absence. Her eyes welled up at the sight of Belle and Grayson. "Mr. Page, Ms. Belle!"Belle smiled back at Meredith. "Hello, Meredith.""Goodness... Come inside, it's chilly out there!"The nights were rather chilly in Maltford during April. Belle hugged Sixteen and kissed it on the forehead a few times before standing up. "Let's go! I'll treat you to something nice!"With that, Belle dashed toward the house, Sixteen close behind.Grayson watched their joyful reunion, a tear escaping his eye. The scene would have been perfect, he thought, with a child of their own in the picture.He sighed—a sudden urge to have children blossoming in his chest. The thought of cradling his own baby brought a smile to his lips.His reverie was interrupted by a bodyguard's abrupt appearance. "Mr. Page!"Grayson's annoyance was evident. "What is it?" he snapped.Barry Mars said, "We're still conf

Grayson replied, "It's probably not hungry. Leave it alone and come have dinner already; Meredith's been waiting."Meredith had begun preparing dinner the moment she heard Belle and Grayson were returning home. She set the table and called out to Belle, "Dinner's ready, Ms. Belle!""I'm coming!" Belle patted Sixteen before reassuring it, "Relax, buddy. Just enjoy your meal, okay? I'm not going anywhere. What happened last time was a special occasion. I'm not going anywhere now!"Sixteen barked in response. Belle smiled. "Alright, I'm gonna have dinner as well. Play with you later."As Belle got up to leave, Sixteen followed her. It seemed more concerned about Belle's company than its meal.With a resigned sigh, Belle grabbed a piece of meat and tucked it under the dining table for Sixteen to munch on. Grayson's disgust was evident. He didn't want to have dinner alongside Sixteen. But before he could voice his disapproval, Belle cut him off with a sharp, "Shut up!"Grayson was l

Two hours had slipped by when Belle and Grayson emerged from the bathroom.Belle looked like a deflated balloon by the time she made it out. Wrapped in a silk nightgown, she buried her blushing face in Grayson's embrace. Grayson's pride radiated from his beaming face as he carried her to the bed. "Sit up straight. I'll dry your hair."Belle was too tired to do so. "No. I wanna lie down."Grayson affectionately pinched her cheeks and smiled. "Lazybones."He gently settled Belle onto the bed before fetching the hair dryer.Seated at the foot of the bed, Grayson cradled Belle's head in his lap, blowing warm air through her hair.Belle always found this ritual comforting and soothing, drifting off to sleep as Grayson worked.Once finished, Grayson set the hair dryer aside and tenderly laid Belle down on the bed. He then pulled the blanket over the two of them and went to sleep with Belle in his arms.It had been some time since they had the chance to enjoy a peaceful night. After

After a while, Benjamin's breathing stabilized as he stopped coughing out blood. But he was still barely able to speak. "Stop… Stop it… That's enough… I can't take it anymore…"Everyone in the room was visibly in anguish.Simon and the doctors had already predicted that Benjamin wouldn't make it out alive when they wheeled him into the emergency room. No one could survive against cancer in its final stages.When Simon called Belle early in the morning, it was just a last resort as well as to hope for a miracle to happen. But to be realistic, Simon and the doctors already knew that Benjamin could no longer be saved.Belle sniffed and replied, "Let me try again."Benjamin shook his head as his voice grew weaker and weaker. "Please don't perform surgery on me… I'm scared of the pain…"She tried her best not to burst into tears right this very moment. "Should I call Hunter over? He's just waiting outside.""I… I'd like to speak to you first…""Of course. What is it?"Simon told al

Graverobbing was already an illegal activity, let alone its high-risk nature of operations.The tombs of the wealthy were often filled with all sorts of treasures. Graverobbers could always sell them off for huge amounts of money without paying any amount of cost other than the effort and risk to move them out from the grave.There were plenty of folks who had tried their chance at robbing graves to strike gold.Anyone who had learned of Hunter's identity would surely target him or even threaten him to rob graves in their stead.Every single attempt to go underground was very much a lethal risk.Benjamin had always been worried about Hunter going underground. He was deathly afraid that Hunter would follow their ancestors' footsteps and that one day, he would meet his untimely end in the tombs.Hunter came face to face with Benjamin in the emergency room, and tears finally started flowing down his cheeks.He looked away and wiped his tears before going any closer. "Dad."Benjamin looked

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
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1267 Destiny's Guiding Hand
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. I'm an only child, and

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
