"Hey! Hey! It's not my fault. We're both victims here. Fortunately, they saw nothing because I covered us in time."Grayson still didn't know why Belle was mad at him. He tried to defend himself, but his explanation was laced with a hint of arrogance. It was as if Belle owed him a thank you.Belle glared at Grayson. Before Grayson could remove the sheet on him, Belle made a run for the dressing room. She grabbed whatever was within her reach, regardless of whether she liked it or not, and covered herself.The red marks on her body were mostly covered. But the ones on her neck were still on public display. The neck and the collarbone alone had seven to eight patches of hickies! Enough to prove how rough Grayson was just now.Belle was flustered and angry. Her face was scarlet. She cursed at Grayson a million times before tying a scarf around her neck. She then bolted out of the dressing room while waving her fists.Her experience today told her that she stood no chance against
The knife was mere inches away from his family jewel! Grayson was too stunned to breathe. He gulped.Just like that, his source of pride wilted in a second. Moments ago, it stood proudly. Now, it retracted back into its shelter.The blade slowly disappeared from his sight. That could only mean that Belle was preparing for the second stab.Grayson lifted his head and gripped Belle's wrist. "Belle, what the fuck are you doing?"Who in their right mind would go for someone's genitalia just because their love-making session was interrupted? That was uncalled for. Did Belle not want it anymore?Belle gritted her teeth and refused to speak. She couldn't pry away Grayson's grip. So she tossed the knife, changed its direction, and aimed at Grayson's wrist.Grayson was freaking out. He immediately let go of Belle.Due to the sudden movement, the sheet on Grayson's body slipped to the floor. Grayson's muscular frame was in Belle's full view. She had seen it before, but she kept looking. I
Belle immediately forgot all about Grayson and ran toward the door. She had to get to Syl Hospital as soon as possible! The room door creaked open, but Belle didn't even spare Sam a glance. She hurried toward the elevator. However, the elevator was still on the first floor, so she rushed to the emergency staircase. Sam stared at her in confusion.Then, his eyes widened in shock when he peered into the room. Grayson was wearing nothing but his underwear, and his face was a mess! There was a long scratch across his face and a large bruise under his eye. It was obviously the result of a punch. Who had scratched and punched him? The answer was so obvious! Had Belle beaten his boss up? Sam gulped. He dared not ask any questions. "Mr. Page, I'll wait for you in the car downstairs." Sam closed the door behind him and left hastily. Meanwhile, Belle rushed down the stairs and left the hotel. She didn't care even when people stared at her. She stood by the road, hailing a taxi
Dorothy knew that the mother and daughter duo were more cruel and powerful than anyone else. Other people's lives meant nothing to them.That was why she was afraid! She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid of them finding out about Belle.If Belle got found out, then her life would become a nightmare.The duo had already ruined the Sylvester family's reputation, and Syl Hospital would close down. Dorothy felt sad but glad at the same time. She was glad that Belle had worn a mask and acted like an ordinary nurse when she had visited the patient at the hospital. It meant that the duo hadn't found out about Belle yet. That was why she could not meet Belle during this time.However, she couldn't let Belle know about this yet. She had no choice but to use doing research as an excuse to stop Belle from meeting her.As long as they did not meet each other, the duo would not be able to find out about Belle through her. Belle would be able to live peacefully for a little longer.
Dorothy had her own reasons. The duo was targeting her. Perhaps if they killed her, then they would let the other members of the Sylvester family off the hook. However, if the Sylvesters continued thriving in the medical field, then the duo would be tempted to ruin them! After all, Dorothy had learned her medical skills from Belle's mother. Belle's mother played a huge role in all the medication and treatment methods used by Syl Hospital.The duo were psychopaths. They most likely wanted to ruin the Sylvesters! The Sylvester family had a higher chance of surviving if they quit the medical field. Being a doctor or not wasn't important at all compared to their lives.What could be more important than survival? Dorothy's head was filled with thoughts, but she couldn't explain them to Simon."Just take my advice and don't ask any more questions," she said.He was better off not knowing about some things. The more he knew, the more dangerous it would be for him. "There's somet
Grayson had already arrived at the hospital when Simon got back. He was smoking in his car.He asked Simon to get in and did not allow him to be at the scene. He was worried that Simon would get attacked by the victims' families if he showed himself.He wasn't good at comforting others. However, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Simon in low spirits. He was evidently worried about him.He passed Simon a cigarette and said, "Sam is already investigating what happened."Simon took the cigarette and lit it. "Get some rest at home. You don't have to deal with this," he said."But can you deal with it yourself?"Simon sighed helplessly and made a call on his phone. He told his assistant what Dorothy had told him and asked his subordinates to be on standby. Then, he hung up and said, "I was at my grandma's. She told me to just cooperate with the police. Syl Hospital will be closed down."Grayson frowned and said, "The Sylvester family will be ruined if you do nothing at this po
Melanie still denied it. "I didn't! I really didn't…"Yolanda pursed her lips and brought two people forward. One of them was a girl who worked at a nightclub, and another was the waiter who had served Belle's drink.She even played the surveillance camera footage of Melanie buying the aphrodisiac and the part where she whispered with her maid after her maid came downstairs.There was solid evidence to prove Melanie's evil scheme! Melanie was left defenseless.Her husband, Kent Page, was also left tongue-tied, eyes wide in disbelief. Silence enveloped the room for a moment before Finneas slammed his hand on the table in a fit of anger.Melanie and Kent were so terrified that they nearly peed their pants. Finneas breathed in deeply with a look of disappointment on his face.He did not raise a hand at them but instantly put all of Melanie's shares under Belle's name. Melanie and Kent were shocked out of their wits!This punishment was way more painful than any other. It felt like
That night, Grayson and Belle arrived home at almost the same time. Grayson had taken off his coat and was about to drink water in the kitchen when Belle walked in. They went blank for a moment when they saw each other and frowned. They were focused on the Sylvester family's issues during the day and hadn't bothered each other. They weren't very pleased to be face to face with each other now. Belle looked away first and changed into house slippers. She was no longer as angry as she had been at the hotel. She no longer felt like beating him up or castrating him. She only wanted to take a shower and lie down to think the Sylvester family's case over. She was slightly displeased because she still wasn't able to find out anything about the new virus Dorothy had told her about.She would have spent the night at the place she rented if she hadn't promised Finneas not to spend the night with Grayson separately. She wouldn't have come home till morning because she was still doing rese
