Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1257 Benjamin Has Left
Belle approached their car and leaned on the window as if about to ask something. Immediately, she frowned and chided, "What's with the smell of smoke? Have you guys been smoking in the car?"Gabriel hurriedly explained, "Mr. Grayson was smoking…"Ginger replied, "What are you so nervous about? I know you don't smoke."Gabriel averted his gaze to hide the blush on his face as he felt guilty.Grayson threw a glance at Gabriel but decided not to expose him. "I was just bored."Belle was furious. "Gabriel's in the car with you. Can't you at least be a little considerate with him getting second-hand smoke from you?"Gabriel was afraid that Grayson might expose him, so he quickly replied, "I'm fine, Ms. Belle.""You're not! Second-hand smoke is even worse than just smoking a cigarette directly. He's hurting you!"Belle then turned to Grayson and continued, "Never smoke in front of Gabriel again!"Gabriel felt a little guilty about the situation, so he decided to change the topic. "

The neighbors were all shocked. "What are you doing, Penny?"Penny Topps was visibly upset. "I won't allow the coffin to enter the house! It's going to lower the property's value!"The townsfolk were in disbelief as they scolded her. "This is his home! Hunter can do whatever he wants! Besides, where else do you want him to place the coffin?""Put it somewhere else. I don't care! Just don't bring the coffin inside!" Penny sat down in front of the door like a roadblock.Hunter pursed his lips and stared at her while holding himself back. He never expected Penny, of all people, to still be such a troublesome person after all these years.Hunter clenched his fists and calmly replied, "Please move aside, Ms. Topps."Penny glanced at Hunter for a second before turning away again. "I'm not trying to bully you or anything, Hunter. To be honest, it's because I've already found buyers for this place. The price is already set and all that. They're going to pull out if they ever hear about you pla
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1259 Troublemakers
There was a budding market for houses in rural towns. Potential buyers include residents from the same town, many of whom watched their children grow up and form their own families. However, some potential buyers were rich folks from the city seeking to retire at a more peaceful location. As a result, the property market value had significantly increased.Some had even attributed the rise of the value of the Sanders family's old home to Hunter's prestige as a model student.Penny might seem like a silly woman from the outside, but she was quite the marketing genius. She had constantly advertised the Sanders family's old home as a blessed property that would guarantee any family moving in to give birth to a prodigy.Plenty of folks were also convinced enough to offer high prices for the house.The property eventually reached a market value of millions. The most recent increase came from a business owner for the city believing that purchasing it would help turn his son's life around.
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1260 Robed Man
The police captain turned to Hunter and asked, "Are you the only surviving member of the Sanders family now?""Yes.""I see. I'm sorry to hear that."A few of the policemen helped Hunter with moving the coffin into the house before making a public announcement to the neighbors. "We're all family here, remember? Benjamin was a great man. It's a pity that he's left us so soon. Hunter's still young, and he's left all alone. Let us all help him with the funeral with whatever we can do."The neighbors leaped into action after the speech.Seniors soon stepped up to help organize the funeral while the youngsters helped with running errands. Some of the policemen even tried to make donations out of their own pockets for the funeral.Hunter declined their donations, but they insisted. "You can always pay us back once you make it big, son. And don't worry about Penny and her boyfriend, Terry, okay? Just call us if you need help. We'll always be around!"Hunter was extremely touched by the
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1261 Karma
Hunter woke up in the middle of the night for a trip to the toilet. The restroom was not located within the same building but instead nestled in a corner of the courtyard, following the layout typical of older homes.The robed man immediately hid himself when he saw Hunter stepping out of the door.Hunter glanced over at the corner but didn't notice anything unusual.The entire courtyard was gloomy, and the surrounding air had an indescribable odor to it. Hunter simply assumed that it was just an illusion created by his mind because of his depressed mood.As he entered the restroom, the robed man took the chance to enter the house.The robed man wore his customary floor-length robe, complete with a hood that could shroud his entire head. He stood extremely still in front of Benjamin's portrait seemingly in deep thought.After a few seconds of silence, the robed man took off his hood.A terrifying mask appeared from within the hood. He then took off the mask to reveal a clean, handsome
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1262 Peculiar Deaths
The police soon arrived at the scene, followed by a group of townsfolk.The townsfolk all had different opinions about what happened. Some claimed that Benjamin's ghost had killed Penny and Terry for revenge after she deliberately blocked him from coming home.Some even claimed that Hunter was the murderer. They believed Hunter was impulsive enough to have done so due to his young age. As the crowd continued to murmur with their own opinions, the police remained silent even after the initial investigation.The same few policemen who had made donations to Benjamin's funeral would be the ones questioning Hunter about the case. "Penny and her boyfriend, Terry, are dead. Did you know about it?"Hunter honestly replied, "I just heard about it from Ms. Stock.""The townsfolk claim that Mr. Sander's ghost is the murderer. I'm sure you're well-educated enough to know that's just bullshit. Anyway, our initial investigation points to the victims being killed."The policemen glanced over at Hunt

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
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1264 Burial
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 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
