Belle said, "It seems like an allergy, but I can't determine the specific allergen. You'll need to go to the hospital to check for the allergens. Do take note and be more cautious in the future."Robert frowned as he wondered what Patrick was allergic to.It was Patrick's first allergic reaction after so many years. This meant that he had only come into contact with the allergen today.Robert tried to recall the new things Patrick might have been exposed to today. However, nothing in particular came up for the moment."I'll get someone to investigate once I get back. Does he still need to take any medicine?"Belle shook her head and replied, "No need for now. He's just frail and needs some rest. If he experiences anything like this in the future, he can continue taking the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Jenkins Senior. Her prescriptions are reliable." "Okay!" Robert added after a moment, "I'll keep in mind that I owe you a favor. No matter what you encounter in the future, you only
Watching Robert's leaving figure, Scott yelled, "I'll go and snatch her up if you don't make a move. She's one-of-a-kind. She's pretty, capable, and even kind-hearted too. "She risked exposing her secret to save Patrick, not even asking for compensation. Honestly, Grayson doesn't deserve her. They're a terrible match. If you don't want her, don't mind if I do!" Robert turned and looked at Scott. "Stay away from her," he warned.While Robert had articulated his statement with composure and lacked any visible anger, the firmness in his words indicated he was speaking with utmost seriousness.Scott pursed his lips. "Look at what kind of person he is. He won't make a move himself, yet he won't allow others to do so either," Scott told Simon after seeing that Robert had left.The corner of Simon's lips couldn't help but twitch uncontrollably.Scott was the only person in this world who dared to be so rude to Grayson, even announcing he wanted to steal his wife.Scott and Grayson
Tom and Robert stood before the Sylvester family's courtyard.Tom started, "You've seen your younger brother's condition for yourself. His body is frail. Although we managed to save him this time … I'm not sure when … Well, I hope he'll be healthy. "However, we can't control some things, such as sicknesses. Some families have been restless since your younger brother got into an accident a few months ago. They've been keeping tabs on us. "I know that you value your family and love Patrick a lot. That's why I announced Patrick as our family's heir early on. "However, Patrick can't talk. The other families are bound to oppose if he takes over. Just look at ancient times. Has any mute managed to become a king?"Robert frowned and said, "Patrick isn't a mute. He just doesn't want to talk.""It doesn't matter why he can't talk. In the end, he still can't speak a word. Even Maltford's citizens wouldn't agree to him governing the country, not to mention the other families who are vyin
Meanwhile, Belle had called a taxi to her rented apartment in the urban village.Not knowing what a big deal it was to save Patrick, she didn't take it to heart.She quickly switched on her computer after heading inside. She dug out all the information about the Sylvester family and other pharmacies.Belle still believed that someone was deliberately trying to undermine the Sylvester family. She needed to capture the perpetrator!Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything despite staying until dusk. She didn't even have someone she suspected!Belle returned home in exasperation at night.Although Grayson was sitting on the sofa and playing with Sixteen, he was actually waiting for her.Belle saw him and the dog when she entered the house.Although Belle felt delighted to see the dog, she soon became annoyed after seeing Grayson.Belle didn't say anything as she took off her shoes.Sixteen was extremely excited upon seeing her. It shook its head and wagged its tail. Belle smi
The next day, Grayson received a call from Finneas early in the morning.Finneas, aware that it was Belle's first day at work, called Grayson to offer some advice. Finneas began, "I have a good understanding of Belle's personality. She responds better to gentleness than confrontation. "Try not to oppose her too often, and don't react with anger right away if she upsets you. Take a moment to consider if your actions might have caused her distress. "Regarding what transpired the other day, it's her decision not to hold you responsible, but you should take the initiative to do so ..."Despite his annoyance at Finneas siding with Belle, Grayson couldn't help but ponder over his words after ending the call.Grayson had removed Belle's clothes the day before yesterday at the party's lounge. Plus, he had almost slept with her!Although they didn't proceed further, Grayson had seen, touched, and even kissed her entire body. So, he must take responsibility!Grayson considered Finneas
Belle explained, "I'm a newcomer, and it's my first day at work. That's why I don't have an ID card."The two receptionists didn't seem to believe her.After all, the company would immediately issue an ID card once someone joined. They would receive it before they started work.Someone would inform the front desk in advance if there were any special circumstances. However, no one had given them any prior notice today. As such, they didn't believe in Belle's words.One of the receptionists was called Henrietta Adler. She was pretty but a spiteful person.Being a native of Maltford, Henrietta held a sense of superiority. Among the front desk staff, she was known for causing office politics. She was also a snob who loved to scrutinize people.Henrietta asked, "Miss, may I ask which department you're from?"Belle was caught off guard by the question. Grayson didn't tell her the specific department yesterday. "I'm not sure which department. I will only know when I get inside."Upon
Belle was shocked. "You're sending me away before even checking in with Human Resources? Are you sure?"Henrietta glanced at Belle condescendingly and proceeded to ignore her.Belle was upset. She was right on the money that offices and corporate hellholes were not compatible with her. She would rather just return to her cozy little rental house.Belle frowned as she pulled out her phone to call Sam for help. However, she paused the phone call as she came to a realization.She finally caught on to the irony of the situation. She had never wanted to work in the office. And yet, she was actively looking for solutions after being denied proper entry by the receptionist. Belle latched onto the silver lining that she had an alibi for her absence if Grayson were to question her whereabouts.Her mood improved drastically as she put away her phone and left the premises.Henrietta began gossiping with her coworkers as she stared at Belle leaving."I've seen my fair share of suitres
Sam pressed on, "Where have you been then, Ms. Walters?"Belle nonchalantly replied while on the way to her rental house. "I had actually gone to the office, but I left.""You left?" Sam thought Belle had left work early, so he reminded her of office protocol. "Ms. Walters, I'm sorry, but our lunch break starts at 11:30 am."Belle replied, "I went to the office but was denied entry. You should ask Grayson about the details."Grayson's patience finally wore thin as he drew the phone closer to him. His tone betrayed hints of anger as he tried to restrain the volume."Ask me? What about? The company isn't some playground that you can come and go as you please! I'm warning you right now. Get back here and go to work!" He hung up the phone right after finishing his words in a rage.He returned the phone to Sam and said, "Your only job today is to wait for Belle to come back to the office and lecture her on the company's rules and regulations!"Sam swallowed once out of fear. "Mr. P
