Grayson didn't answer Finneas' phone call. Thus, he decided to call Belle instead."Belle, are you with Grayson? He didn't pick up his phone," Finneas said."I'm not with Grayson right now. I'm outside. Do you need something from him?"Finneas hesitated for a moment before asking, "Belle, I heard that Richter's fiancée has been teaching you how to dance. Are you getting along well with her?"Belle immediately guessed the reason Finneas called her. Finneas must have heard about the news of Grayson kicking Xenia out. However, Belle wasn't sure which version of the story Finneas had heard.Belle thought for a moment and then said, "It is Grayson who asked her to leave.""Why did he do so?" Finneas asked. Finneas was puzzled because Grayson was smart and knew how to act appropriately. Grayson ought to know that Xenia had people backing her and wouldn't try to get on her bad side.Belle struggled to find the right words. Grayson's reason for kicking Xenia out was very absurd. S
Tristan was surprised to hear Belle's aggressive tone coming from the other end of the line. No wonder Grayson had come to the bar to drown his sorrows with alcohol. Belle didn't seem like someone who could be easily tricked.Tristan thought that this would be the perfect chance for him to meet Belle."Hello, my sister-in-law. I'm Grayson's friend. My name is Tristan Saunders," Tristan said in a cheerful tone.Belle was puzzled at that. It was not Grayson who called her but one of his friends.This was the first time she had interacted with Grayson's friends in over half a year. Belle didn't like Grayson and thus, by extension, didn't hold a favorable opinion of his friends. Nevertheless, she toned down her aggressiveness slightly."Is there something you need from me?" she asked."Well, here's the thing. Grayson is a little drunk and won't be able to drive himself back home. Would you be able to come pick him up?" Tristan said while maintaining his cheerful tone.Belle was
Did good people possess long lives? What about Belle's parents, then? They were upright and kind, but they died a horrible death. The only silver lining was that their daughter had survived and remained healthy. Perhaps Belle being healthy was God's reward to her parents.Dorothy sighed silently and lovingly stroked Belle's cheek."Hurry and go pick up Grayson," Dorothy said."Yes, I'll come by again tomorrow. You shouldn't stay in the hospital for too long. Please go back and rest early. You looked drained lately," Belle said to Dorothy."Alright, I'll do as you say," Dorothy said while smiling. However, Dorothy's expression immediately changed as soon as Belle left. She furrowed her brows and stared intently at the chemicals before her. Her expression turned serious.Dorothy's maid, Ethel Cole, walked into the room with a jacket. "Mrs. Slyvester Senior, it's late at night. Perhaps you should go home and rest?" Dorothy shook her head while keeping a serious expression on
Belle took a taxi to the Liquor Den.When Belle arrived at the entrance of the bar, she was prohibited from entering because she looked like a minor. Belle didn't have her identification card to prove she was already 20 years old. Thus, she could only explain the situation to the bouncer, "Someone named Tristan Saunders called me to come pick up Grayson Page. They are drinking inside the bar. Could you please ask them to come out?" Tristan Saunders and Grayson Page?Belle's casual mention of these famous names drew lots of attention from the onlookers. After all, these names were not ones that people would casually drop in public.The bartender didn't dare to deny Belle's request and quickly informed Tristan that she had arrived.Tristan then phoned Belle using his own phone."Hello, Mrs. Page. This is Tristan. Have you arrived?""Yes, I'm at the entrance.""Alright, I'll come out with Grayson now."After hanging up the call, a group of people surrounded Tristan and aske
Tristan was about to take a closer look when Belle approached them first.Belle carried herself with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, not sad nor happy. She didn't put on airs, nor did she appear immature. Her tone was very calm as she said, "Hello, I'm here to pick up Grayson."The group of people looked at her in shock!Was she really Grayson's wife? The woman who was supposedly fiercer than a tigress?She looked nothing like what Grayson had described!Belle looked so adorable that she couldn't possibly be a person with a fierce temper. She seemed like the type of girl everyone would love. The group of wealthy young men stared at Belle in astonishment. They seemed to have forgotten how to speak.Tristan was the first to recover from the shock. He asked, "You are Grayson's wife?""Yes," Belle replied.Tristan's expression was complicated as he glanced at Grayson, feeling a twinge of jealousy.Grayson was already 29 and turning 30 in a few months, yet he
Belle furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Grayson, who was still on the ground. Grayson isn't reacting at all. Could he be genuinely drunk? If he weren't drunk, he would have scolded her if she made him fall on purpose.Belle was still deep in thought when Tristan and the others helped Grayson up and said to her, "It's normal if you can't lift him because you're so slim. We'll take him to your car. Which is your car?"Belle was delighted because she didn't want to touch Grayson at all. She pointed to a taxi parked by the roadside and said, "That one."The others were stunned by her words. "You don't have a car?""Grayson is too stingy, and he doesn't want to buy me a car," Belle said.Upon hearing this, Grayson's friends immediately started condemning Grayson again."Grayson is really out of the line. It's been half a year since you two married, and he still hasn't bought you a car. When he wakes up, we'll make sure to scold him.""That's right! We won't let him off
Grayson was clueless. But after venting her frustrations, Belle felt better. She had a rough day because of him.Grayson had made a big fuss during the dance practice in the morning. Hence, everything ended unpleasantly. In the evening, while Belle was studying medical cases, she had to put everything down to pick him up. Belle was utterly annoyed. She could not poison him to cause his death. So, she had no choice but to release her anger with words. She felt good after badmouthing him. As Belle happily talked bad about Grayson to the driver, Eric, something unexpected happened. The tires emitted a squeaky noise as Eric slammed on the brakes. In the next second, they collided with the car in front.Grayson and Belle's bodies lurched forward, then backward. For a moment, they lost their balance. Grayson frowned and opened his eyes. He looked ahead as displeasure and alertness appeared in his eyes.Meanwhile, Belle also focused on what was happening in front of her. She di
Belle recalled her first time at the police station. She immediately felt that it was safer to go somewhere else.She could not afford to get arrested for assault again. Otherwise, it would cause her more trouble. Hence, Belle said, "Since you're so kind, I won't hold back, then. But I can't leave my husband with this man. I need to take him with me."Hearing that, Alex narrowed his eyes. "I don't think it's nice for your husband to witness certain things, right?" "He'll be fine.""Do you really want him to witness it?" Alex asked once more. Belle replied, "Yes, there won't be any problem if he watches us." After all, Grayson knew she was a good fighter. After saying that, she turned and headed toward the taxi's back door. Belle wanted to help Grayson exit the cab before asking Eric to leave.To her surprise, two more men got out of the car the moment she turned. They even blocked her way. The two newcomers assessed Belle. It was evident that they were recklessly indiff
