Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 265 Three Thousand Dollars
"How could some random 20-year-old woman with no background whatsoever suddenly get hired as a secretary? This is just suspicious … She must be in cahoots with some higher-ups!"Ginger could tell Henrietta was gossipping about Belle. She frowned and questioned Henrietta on the spot."Whom among the top brass are you gossipping about now? The only person managing the Secretarial Department is Mr. Page himself. Are you perhaps slandering him?"Henrietta realized her mistake and quickly defended herself."Watch your mouth! I was not slandering anyone! I was just explaining the fact that there was no way that Mr. Page would have personally recruited some country bumpkin like her!"Ginger replied, "I don't know if Mr. Page and Ms. Walters are acquainted. But I sure as hell know that she is closer to him than you will ever get to be.""At least Mr. Page recognizes his secretaries. You may spend the rest of your life as his receptionist, and he would never even know about your existence
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 266 She's Dead
Sam had Belle briefly introduce herself before appointing a senior to show her to her desk.The male colleagues within the Secretarial Department were all charmed by Belle's beauty. They had truly never seen a beauty of this degree. And for someone her age, to boot.Everyone, however, kept their distance, as they surmised that Belle must have relations within the Page Corporation to be able to join the company as a 20-year-old woman.At the same time, Lena had arrived at the summit of the mountain behind the Sylvester Residence.A small courtyard had been constructed at the summit of the mountain, serving as Dorothy's preferred retreat during her periods of solitude.Lena narrowed her eyes and scanned the courtyard to find no traces of human activity.She was wary of triggering any traps as she walked toward a house within the courtyard. She pretended to be a passerby and asked for help."Hello? Anyone in there?"No one responded.Lena shouted once more. "Anyone in there? I ju

Lena put away her phone and scanned the courtyard one last time before heading down the mountain. Meanwhile, Dorothy had already known about Lena going up the mountain to look for her.She had installed surveillance cameras in the corners of the house. The moment Lena entered the house, she had been watching her from the computer screen. Lena's face was unfamiliar, but her gaze terrified Dorothy. Dorothy locked eyes with Lena across the computer screen, and memories came flooding in.Dorothy concluded that the woman on the computer screen should be Belle's cousin.She was especially certain that Lena had gone up the mountain to take her life and then pry into the whereabouts of Belle.The very thing she had feared for decades had happened. The Cahill mother-daughter duo were coming for her.Ethel was standing beside Dorothy and took notice of her agitation."Mrs. Jenkins Senior, please relax."Dorothy closed her eyes. Her shaking body finally calmed down after pushing Lena o
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 268 Your Boss
Belle had no knowledge of her lineage, nor did she know about the existence of the Cahills. As such, she was oblivious to the history and cruelty that had happened back then.She didn't know about the dangers that were creeping ever closer.At this moment, Belle sat at her desk and listened to her seniors yapping about Grayson.Sam feared that Belle would quarrel and embarrass Grayson at the office. And so, he had arranged for a senior member of the secretarial team to instruct Belle on the company protocols. Sam had appointed Rosa Byrd for the task. He never mentioned the relationship between Belle and Grayson, only that Belle was a new hire.Rosa had been working as Sam's direct subordinate for a decade. Whenever Sam was busy working directly for Grayson, Rosa was the one who handled the daily operations.She was in her late forties, a kind and meticulous woman. She also had a daughter around the same age as Belle. As such, she had taken an immediate liking to Belle and was en

The pantry included pre-made coffee. Just as Belle was about to pour it into a cup, Rosa appeared to stop her."Not this one, dear. This is for us. Mr. Page prefers freshly grounded coffee."Belle frowned. "Why can't he just drink the same coffee as we do?"Rosa was speechless.Belle continued, "I think he's just being fussy!"She saw no reason to waste time grinding coffee when there was already a readily available option.Rosa stared at Belle for a while before advising her, "Belle, allow me to remind you that you have to be respectful toward Mr. Page! He is the most powerful individual in Maltford."You may have been used to being served at home, but please restrain yourself at work! It doesn't matter if you have a powerful background or relations. None of it matters when you're working for Mr. Page!"The implication from Rosa was that no matter how Belle managed to weasel her way into the Page Corporation, no one should be so daring as to offend Grayson himself.Belle pout
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 270 Not Human
Inside Grayson's office, Belle had contemplated the idea of throwing the coffee right into his face as a display of power.However, she was completely captivated by his office the moment she entered. His office was a completely open room of approximately 3200 square feet. She was taken aback by how spacious Grayson's office was and had already forgotten about her initial plans.She began to compare her tiny office in the rental house with Grayson's spacious one. Grayson's office was not only spacious but also exquisitely decorated. A row of large windows flooded the room with natural light, giving it a bright and airy ambiance.The wooden bookshelves displayed an impressive collection of books and antiques, showcasing the owner's refined taste.Even the sofa and potted plants in the room appeared to be custom-made, reflecting Grayson's attention to detail and aesthetics.Grayson's office was entirely different from everything Belle had seen within the Page Tower.She realiz
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 271 Unappreciative
Belle retorted, "Thanks to the sweets, I do not want to quarrel with you. But I will make it clear right now, I'm here to work, not to serve your lazy ass! If you keep this up, I'll show you who's boss! Seriously, just get someone else to do this for you."Grayson was in disbelief. He countered, "You're working as a secretary. Serving drinks to me is simply part of the job."Belle pouted."I've heard that only a select few people are allowed into your office. You're deliberately toying with me on my first day on the job!"Grayson's lip started to twitch as he was rendered speechless by her apparent lack of appreciation. He had called her in without ill intentions and even prepared her favorite sweets in advance.Seeing her turn ungrateful, even biting the hand that fed her, was beyond his expectations."Plenty of people dreamed of entering my office, and you're out here complaining about it. What an unappreciative woman!" Grayson scolded her.Belle replied, "What do I care? As I
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 272 What Is Your Relationship With Him
Belle was frustrated. She couldn't believe Grayson did all that just for something so minor.He could have just sent her a WhatsApp message to inform her. He didn't have to call her out in front of everyone specifically. Now everyone knew that he knew her.Moreover, it wasn't his business whether her buttons were fastened or not.Belle thought in frustration, then lowered her head to look at the button on her shirt. She didn't find anything wrong with it. Everyone else wore it like that.Even Rosa didn't fasten the topmost button on her shirt.Annoyed, Belle ignored Grayson's words. She left her topmost button unbuttoned as she returned to the secretarial department.The Secretarial Department was in chaos.Everyone had noticed that Grayson kept staring at Belle during the meeting. Also, when the meeting ended, Grayson called out Belle's name and told her to stay back.That could only mean that Belle had something to do with Grayson.Everyone knew that Belle had connections. B

Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" 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. "Are you still mad at me?"Sixteen, appeased, finally got into her arms and launched into enthusiastic licks.Grayson watched the exchange with a hint of envy. "Hey, Sixteen!"Sixteen whimpered and offered Grayson a sheepish look.Belle scolded, "Why are you scolding Sixteen? You're a bad guy!"She then petted Sixteen on its head and stood up. "Let's go! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless. He felt defeated by the pet dog as he watched Belle and Sixteen skip and hop into the house.Meredith had already finished preparing dinner when they arrived. She put on a gentle smile as she watched Belle

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

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
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1265 Gold Nugget
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.

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
