Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 212 Drama
"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
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 216 She Is From the Aspen Family
A look came into Finneas' eyes, but he kept a smile on his face. "What's the matter, Phil?" Xenia's grandfather, Phil Sanchez, stared at Belle and burst out, "Is … Is she an Aspen?"Everyone in the booth lost their calm at the mention of the name "Aspen". The old folks frowned and stared at Belle. Finneas narrowed his eyes, but his expression gave nothing away. "You must be mistaken. Her surname is Walters, not Aspen."Phil said sternly, "I was there back then. I saw that woman's face even though I was standing at the back. The two of them look similar. Besides, that woman's child would be around Belle's age if it had survived."Finneas knew that Phil was referring to that incident. He said calmly, "It's not surprising for someone to have doppelgangers. Besides, Belle's age does not fit the picture. She's already 20 years old. If that child were still alive, she would only be 19."Someone else immediately agreed. "Exactly! Belle must just resemble her a lot. The baby couldn
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 217 Havoc
Tom smiled at Finneas and said, "Me? I've never thought about it. Haha."Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere grew awkward. After all, nobody dared to relax at the mention of the Aspen name.After a while, Tom chuckled and said, "We should leave it to fate. If they really are still alive, someone else will take action. It's not up to us to be concerned. We've gotten old now anyway. Don't you guys think so?"How could they not be concerned? Havoc would break out if they were still alive! If Maltford went into chaos, every one of them would be involved. Nevertheless, nobody dared to rebuke Tom because he held the highest position among them. He almost ruled Maltford! The three most powerful families in Maltford were the Page family, the Strauss family, and the Quinn family. The Page family was wealthy, and the Strauss family was influential. The Quinn family was also very wealthy because they did business internationally. Other families like the Sanchez family were nothing c
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 218 Fall For It
Xenia, Dawson, and other couples got their turn to dance on stage after the opening dance. However, nobody paid much attention to them because they liked watching Belle and Grayson more.Nobody admired Xenia even though she danced with all her soul. When she got off the stage, she received no compliments. She only heard other people praising Belle and Grayson."They're such a perfect match!""They're a match made in heaven! Grayson has such good taste.""It's no surprise that Grayson fell for Belle. She's so mesmerizing. They're made for each other.""I thought it was a pity that Xenia married Dawson. I thought she and Grayson made a better match, but it seems like Belle suits Grayson even more.""Did you guys see Grayson smiling at Belle during the dance? I think he loves her very much."Xenia's expression darkened when she heard what the women were saying. She felt even more jealous when she saw them striking up a conversation with Belle.She had the urge to drag Grayson onst

"Belle even told me that she likes Robert, but he's indifferent and doesn't like her. Thank goodness he doesn't, or he and Grayson will dislike each other even more."A thought struck Melanie. Wouldn't it be good for her if Robert and Grayson had a further misunderstanding?The enemy of an enemy was a friend! Melanie narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's give her a hand if she likes Robert."Melanie whispered something into Xenia's ear. Xenia understood that Melanie was trying to use her to set Belle up.Nevertheless, Xenia pretended to be shocked. "Huh? I don't think we should do that. You'll get into trouble if Finneas or Grayson find out.""You silly girl. Of course we'll do it secretly so that they won't find out.""But …""You're too naive. You don't know the dark side of rich people. Don't try to be friends with Belle. You two are never meant to be friends, just like how Grayson and Dawson can never get along!" said Melanie.Xenia frowned and put on an innocent expression.

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.

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
