The ugly woman said, "However, we could only know Dorothy's whereabouts due to the appearance of frostle pills. I really didn't expect that she would still be alive! She suffered such serious injuries back then … "No! She can't be alive! She must die! She knows about what happened back then, after all. We must find a way to deal with her quickly!" "I know." The young woman glanced at the clock on the wall. "I'm going to leave now. Take good care of yourself. Give me a call if you need anything," she said indifferently.The ugly woman was startled. "A-Are you leaving right now?'"Yes.""Are you going to Maltford?""Yes.""To find Grayson?""Yup.""However, I've heard that Grayson is already married. How do you plan to approach him?""I'll kill his wife first. Then, I'll approach him." The young woman had uttered such a ruthless reply in a relaxed manner.The ugly woman was rendered speechless.Seeing that the young woman was already heading out, she quickly called out, "Le
Grayson had a darkened expression after a while as he dragged Simon by his collar to the end of the corridor. With gritted teeth, Grayson pointed out of the window. "You'd better give me an explanation. Otherwise, I'm going to throw you out from here! I'll also take care of your funeral at that!"Simon was helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Your wife seriously isn't sick. If you don't believe me, I can perform a comprehensive examination on her right before you."Seeing that Grayson was still suspicious, Simon added, "If I'm lying to you, I'll curse myself that Sabrina will ignore me for the rest of my life."Upon hearing that, Grayson furrowed his eyebrows. He believed Simon.Sabrina Yanez was the person that Simon cared about the most. He loved her to death. Thus, he wouldn't make jokes about matters concerning himself and Sabrina.This meant that Belle was really not sick.Grayson could finally relax. However, he soon furrowed his eyebrows again.If Belle wasn'
Simon was surprised. "I remembered you bought some half a year ago. Did it stop working so quickly?""Yup."Simon's expression turned serious. "It's not feasible for the duration of the scent to last shorter and shorter. It's like smoking and drinking. Once you get addicted to it, it's hard to quit. Next time, ask the scented sachet seller if there's anything wrong with it." Grayson always had poor sleep quality. Thus, he relied on the scented sachets to sleep for many years.The scented sachets were an unexpected purchase when he went abroad years ago. He didn't expect them to work so well, either. He even had Dorothy check its ingredients. It turned out that its ingredients were safe, only containing some sleep-aiding herbs. However, one scented sachet could last him about two to three years when he first bought it. As time went on, its duration became shorter and shorter. This time, it lasted only six months before losing its effectiveness.Before Grayson could reply, Simon
Grayson furrowed his brows. "He's talking nonsense! I didn't say anything about that!""If you didn't, why did Dr. Sylvester say you did?""He was deliberately trying to make me angry!""Aren't you guys best friends? Why did he want to anger you? What did you do to him?"Grayson furrowed his brows. "It has nothing to do with you!"Belle pursed her lips. "Since it has nothing to do with me, don't get me involved. Gossip spreads easily, but clarifications are hard to make. We have nothing to do with each other. You're not allowed to discuss me behind my back!"Grayson was rendered speechless.After saying that, Belle cleared her throat and continued, "Although you seemed to be cursing me by saying that I had a terminal illness, your attitude touched me. Thank—""Don't be so presumptuous! Although I did worry about you dying from terminal illness, it's not because I like you. I was worried that if you died, I wouldn't be able to explain it to my grandfather and your grandfather!"
Grayson discerned the sound of rats when he listened carefully.He wondered when the rats had entered their house.Grayson turned on the light, sat up and proceeded to investigate. He followed the sound and found it coming from beside the bed. Grayson was stunned.The rat-like sound was coming from Belle's mouth.After carefully observing for a while, Grayson rolled his eyes. Belle was grinding her teeth in her sleep!Grayson felt extremely disgusted and headed back to the sofa. He turned off the light and continued to lie there in contemplation. He couldn't fall asleep right now. But at least the sound of Belle grinding her teeth couldn't affect him anymore. However, Grayson couldn't help but lament about Belle. She had a poor tolerance for alcohol, had a hot temper, was disobedient, and was a lousy sleeper. She even snored and ground her teeth. How could she expect Grayson to fall in love with someone like her?"Grayson!" Belle suddenly yelled.Grayson quickly averted
Grayson's breathing grew heavier and heavier.At some point, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes showed a glint. As he stared at Belle lying on the bed, he was tempted to go over and subdue her. He wanted to tease her until she begged for mercy, her eyes swollen from crying.However, he ultimately restrained himself. Grayson had to consider their future if he slept with her.One should have only one partner for the entire life. Grayson was a traditional person. If he slept with her, she would have to be his wife for the rest of her life, and Grayson didn't like her.He could never love her when all she did was to piss him off. With that thought, Grayson turned toward the bathroom with a darkened expression. He went to take a cold shower.Just as Grayson entered the bathroom, his phone rang, awakening Belle.Furrowing her brows in irritation, she pulled the blanket over her head. Although she tried to ignore the sound, the phone kept ringing.Belle was annoyed.
"Belle! Shut your mouth if you know what's good for you," Grayson replied angrily.However, Belle one-upped him. "My fists know what's better for me!""You … Do you really think that with Grandpa protecting you, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you? Who do you think you are? Not a single person in Maltford would be so daring!""Hah! You still act like you've done nothing wrong after waking me up in the middle of the night. Who do you think you are? Not a single beast in the mountains would be so daring either!"Mountains? Beasts? Grayson was confused by her words."What are you talking about?""I said, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""You—""Are you still trying to argue? Have you lost your common sense that you don't think it's your fault for waking someone up in the middle of the night?"Grayson was infuriated by his wife. Throughout his life, he had never encountered anyone so arrogant and audacious."Belle Walters!""What are you shouting? Do you want to see who's b
Grayson's expression turned for the worst. As he glared at Belle, his chest heaved with anger. She had exposed his naked body! He muttered under his breath, "That bitch!" He couldn't help but feel molested. "Belle Walters!"Grayson's furious roars reverberated through the house.However, Belle remained tightly cocooned under her blanket. She covered her ears and pretended not to hear his cries.She was too embarrassed to face him after what had just happened. It was also the first time she had witnessed such a scene.It had been too much of an excitement. Grayson clenched his teeth in anger before returning to the bathroom to finally put on his boxers. He then rushed back to the bed."Belle, get the hell out!""No way!"Belle saw no point in emerging from her cocoon of blankets to continue their quarrel. She was still embarrassed by what she saw.She couldn't help but think that she had taken advantage of Grayson's body. She believed that he would surely seek revenge.
