Belle had transformed from her usual sportswear and ponytail into a stunning cold-shoulder dress. Her long, silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, while the other side was pinned back, revealing her alluring ears.Her earlobes sparkled with ruby earrings, complemented by a matching necklace and bracelet that added to her air of affluence. This transformation made her appear extraordinarily feminine compared to her usual childish demeanor. Coupled with her displeased expression, Belle seemed even more noble and unapproachable to the common folk.She seemed like a queen.She seems more like a proper, pompous princess, given her overall figure.All in all, Belle seemed like a completely different person.Grayson was undeniably charmed by his wife's noble appearance.The daily quarrels might have left Grayson with a distaste for her personality, but he couldn't deny that her appearance and charisma were exceptional.He realized the word "beautiful" wasn't enough to describe B
The slap had left Grayson dazed. He stared at Belle for a solid few seconds before coming back to his senses. He had lost the mood to marvel at her beauty. He frowned."What is your problem?"Belle did not reply. The anger building up within her heart over the recent days began to surge up to the surface.She wanted to hit him hard. And so she lifted her arm once again. Grayson reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist. "Belle Walters!"She tried pulling her arm away from his grasp to no avail. Enraged, she lowered her head and bit down hard on his arm.He immediately retracted his arm and hissed from the pain.He became enraged when he noticed his arm was nearly bleeding from her bite. "Belle Walters! Are you an animal?""You're an animal! Your entire family are … No, wait, you're the only animal in your family!"Grayson was furious as he sat upright. "What the fuck is your problem today?""You pissed me off!""I pissed you off? When? What did I ever do to piss you off?""You
With the car coming to a halt, Sam turned his head around sheepishly. "Mr. Page, we … we've arrived.""Then let's get out of the car!" Grayson yelled at Sam.Sam shivered from Grayson's shout. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.However, Belle was elated to see how angry Grayson was because of her antics.She took the opportunity to throw him some sass. "Do you plan to attend Mr. Page Senior's birthday party with that attitude?"Grayson clenched his fists in anger. "Belle Walters, you will be the death of me."I'll handle your burial for you when you do. No need to thank me."Grayson was left speechless.Soon after, Yolanda called his phone. He glared at Belle for a moment before picking up. "Hello, Mom?""Where are you guys now?" asked Yolanda."We're at the entrance. We'll be coming in.""Alright, hurry up and come in.""Yes, Mom."Grayson took a deep breath after hanging up. He turned to Belle and reminded her once more. "Put on your best behavior!
The women resumed their praises. "Marrying into the Page family is like having divine fortune itself, don't you think? So where is Belle, anyway? Can we have a look?""Please don't worry. She will make her debut in the first dance with Grayson. You will be able to feast your eyes on her then."Yolanda resumed the hearty conversation with the group of upper-class women. On the other side stood Melanie, who stared at Yolanda with jealousy.Melanie could tell that the group's friendly demeanor was just an act and that they were just trying to curry favor with Yolanda.However, She was jealous of the simple fact that the upper-class women had ignored her and only surrounded themselves around Yolanda.Melanie had assumed that Yolanda would have her face turned for the worse after taking the froston pills. To her surprise, the pills had worked as intended and revitalized Yolanda's appearance.And now, despite Yolanda being older, she seemed younger than Melanie."My beautiful skin is
"Xenia." Melanie walked to Xenia's side with a loving face.Xenia never really looked up to Melanie. She felt that Melanie was lesser than Yolanda, both in terms of intelligence and power within the Page family.But Xenia intended to maintain a great relationship with Melanie, seeing that Melanie was her stepping stone into the Page family."Mom."Melanie smiled heartily and nodded. She held Xenia's hands and said, "You've been standing here for a while now. You should take a break and leave the rest to Dawson."Xenia did not intend to rest just yet. She wanted to continue greeting and welcoming guests to show off her position as Mrs. Page.Although she was not married to Grayson himself, she was still married to someone from the Page family. To be able to enter the Page family was by itself already a top-notch achievement.Her thoughts were confirmed by the envious gazes of various affluent ladies at the party.Xenia smiled and replied, "Mom, I'm fine. I should be more hospita
The crowd of women continued their gossip. Melanie and Xenia could catch a few of their words from time to time.The two of them appeared calm, but their heart was pounding relentlessly.They suddenly came to a realization of why Finneas had paired Grayson and Belle together.Finneas and Grayson's relationship seemed perfect on the surface, but the gossip they heard also made quite a lot of sense!Finneas was a shrewd man. It might just be possible that his plan of pairing Grayson with someone like Belle was to keep Grayson from accumulating power beyond his own.Melanie began to realize the possible alternative where she could become the matriarch of the Page family with the help of Dawson as the successor.Xenia also began to visualize the future, where she maintained her position as Dawson's wife while she seduced Grayson. If she could maintain a relationship with both men at the same time, she could have both brothers of the Page family wrapped around her fingers. And that
Grayson and Belle's appearance instantly attracted the entire venue's attention.Belle appeared with Yolanda's custom-made dress, paired with the expensive set of ruby jewelry. She held onto Grayson's arm as the couple walked into the lobby. She put on a natural smile for the crowd. At this very moment, she seemed nothing like the rumored description of a country girl. She seemed more like a genuine princess descending from her palace to meet with the common folk.The crowd was completely stunned."So that's Mr. Page's girlfriend? She's absolutely beautiful!""That's right! And the rumors claimed that she had come from the countryside. She seems more like an angel on Earth!!""She's like a painting, holding onto Mr. Page's arm! They're a match made in heaven!""I really thought Ms. Xenia was the most beautiful woman of our generation. I was wrong!"The women surrounding Yolanda were flabbergasted. "Madam Quigley, is that Mr. Page's girlfriend?"Yolanda's smile radiated with
"You've met? How could you have met her when you're always in the squad?" asked Scott curiously. "Maybe I recognized the wrong person," said Robert."Let's put this aside for now. Do you like her or not?"Robert looked at Scott with displeasure.Scott said, "I'll be your wingman if you like her, but if you don't, then I'll be my own wingman."Robert frowned and warned him, saying, "Stay away from her.""Why should I if you don't like her? Why are you gatekeeping her if you don't like her?"Robert said, "Settle your beef with Grayson yourself. Don't drag others into it."Scott narrowed his eyes and said, "Something's not right about you. I'm sure you have feelings for her! Although she's Grayson's wife, they don't love each other. Go for her if you really like her!"Robert looked at him helplessly and said, "Know your place. Help your dad with the company now that you're back. Don't just sit around like you did last time and only focus on causing trouble for Grayson. Your fath
