There was a cafeteria at Page Corporation. The employees usually had their lunch there.After Belle and Ginger arrived at the cafeteria, Belle took the flowers to the bathroom. She placed them on the basin as decoration.She thought that it was much better than throwing the flowers away.Then, she found an empty spot with Ginger and sat down. She opened the takeout boxes one by one.A delicious smell wafted out of the boxes. The food smelled delicious.When Ginger caught sight of the logo printed on the takeout boxes, she froze. She was scared stiff.Belle asked, "What's the matter?"Ginger said, "It's from Dynasty Delicacies!""And what about it?"Ginger's hands were trembling. "It's a restaurant where a bowl of soup costs 100 dollars, and bread costs 90 dollars! Ordering breakfast alone would cost you hundreds of dollars!"When Belle heard that, her eyes widened as well. She didn't dare imagine how much the food in front of her cost. They filled the whole table, after all.
Because of the incident with Scott, the two ignored each other when they arrived home. They didn't even speak a word to each other.The next day, when Belle clocked in, she realized that she had been transferred to the front desk."Transfer" was a nicer way to put it. In less decent terms, she was demoted to the front desk.Working in the secretarial department should be much better than at the front desk.Without a doubt, Grayson was behind this.Belle didn't mind it at all. She felt that working at the front desk was much better than being in the secretarial department.She would get the same pay, and she would be working further away from Grayson. This was a better deal.When Ginger saw Belle appearing in front of her in the secretary's work attire, she was shocked."Belle, why are you at the front desk?"Belle said, "The secretarial department doesn't suit me. The higher-ups transferred me to the front desk."Ginger was speechless.Henrietta was surprised when she saw Be
Scott quickly said, "Come on, let's eat out."From his easygoing tone, Belle could see that he didn't take Grayson's warning to heart.Belle was about to decline when Scott said, "Robert is here too. He came here mainly to treat you to a meal. "While it's true that he came here to treat you, he also wanted to talk to you about Patrick's illness."Belle couldn't decline it this time. So, she had no choice but to agree.After hanging up, Belle told Ginger, "I can't have lunch with you later. I have to go out for some business.""Alright. Don't forget, we resume work at 1:30 pm.""Okay."As soon as Belle walked out of Page Tower, she saw Scott and Robert.Scott's outfit was high-profile, as always.In comparison, Robert was much more modest. He wore a well-tailored dark suit. His expression was slightly gloomy, and he looked like a successful and upright man.Spotting Belle, Scott greeted her enthusiastically. "Hey, sister!"Belle rolled her eyes at him.Robert glared at him
Sam didn't know what Grayson was trying to do. Lunch break had started a long while ago, but Grayson still hadn't gone for lunch. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you hungry, Mr. Page?"Grayson frowned, but he didn't say anything.Sam asked again, "Should I get some food delivered for you?"Grayson frowned again. Unable to bear it anymore, he asked, "Where's Belle?"Sam was stunned for a moment. "I-I have no idea."Grayson was upset. "Tell her to come here!"Sam fell silent.He ran out, but he quickly returned after a while. He said, "Mr. Page, Ms. Walters isn't at the company.""She's not at the company? Where did she go?""I heard a receptionist say someone was looking for her, so she went out.""Who was looking for her?""I don't know.""Don't you even bother to find out if you don't know? Go and figure it out!" Grayson roared."Yes, sir." Sam hastily nodded. Then, he called someone and told them to locate Belle's whereabouts.He soon received information. Belle was h
Grayson was furious, holding Belle in his arms while he fought Scott.Sam and Scott's bodyguards stood watch at the entrance, but none dared to stop the fight. After all, they knew that anyone who tried to stop the fight would get caught in the crossfire.Even if they were hit, they still couldn't stop the fight.The only way for the two to stop fighting was when they grew tired and gave up on the fight themselves.Belle was stuck between the two. Grayson refused to let go of her, and Scott didn't dare act recklessly in case he accidentally hurt her. Hence, their fight was quite awkward.In the end, Robert grabbed Grayson's arm."If you want to fight Scott, go ahead, but don't harm the innocent! She might get hurt if you hold onto her like that!"When Grayson heard that, he was even more furious. Reaching up, he punched Robert. "Don't concern yourself with my wife!"The punch was so sudden that Robert couldn't dodge it in time. A bruise appeared on the corner of his lips.Seei
Grayson tossed Belle into the car. Then, he got into the driver's seat and drove home.No one spoke on the way there. Grayson kept smoking while Belle seethed in silence. Once home, Belle was about to argue with Grayson when she received a call from Finneas.Suppressing her rage, she answered the call. "Hello, Grandpa."Finneas asked anxiously, "Did Gray and Scott get into a fight again?"Belle's lips moved a little. "Yes."Finneas was furious. "Did those kids not have enough? I bet they'll celebrate it when they finally become the death of us."They keep getting into fights outside, and they're both almost 30, for goodness' sake. How shameless are they?"Belle didn't say anything.Finneas asked, "Were they both hurt?"Belle replied, "They were both injured."Finneas shouted in fury again. He even insulted Scott, so it was obvious that he saw Scott as one of his own."I heard that you were there as well. What started the fight this time?"Belle said sheepishly, "I think i
Grayson decided not to talk about Scott anymore after taking a few puffs of the cigarette. He switched the topic back to Robert."You said you didn't like Robert, but I could see you're very nice toward him. When you saw him for the first time, you kept staring at him!"Belle didn't hide anything today. She said, "That's because I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. He looks like someone I once knew.""Someone you once knew? Didn't you grow up in an uninhabited area in the mountains? Why would there be someone you used to know?"Belle was exasperated. "Can't I get to know people just because I grew up in the mountains?"Grayson fell silent. He suddenly felt jealousy burning in his heart.It was too coincidental for Robert to look like someone Belle used to know."So, is he the person you knew in the past?" Grayson asked.Belle shook her head. "No."Robert didn't know about Lovy, so he couldn't have been that person.When Grayson heard that, he felt a little better. He h
"Can't you just listen to me for once, Belle? Do you think I'd harm you?" Grayson couldn't help saying.Belle replied, "You won't harm me, but your thoughts are weird."She trusted Grayson's character and knew he wouldn't hurt her. But it was also true that his logic was peculiar."You hate Scott, so what does that have to do with Robert? Moreover, you can just steer clear of them, so why would you ask me to do the same? Grayson, what are you thinking? What are you trying to do?"Grayson couldn't explain it himself. He simply didn't like the thought of Belle being with Robert.He couldn't provide a reason, so he decisively gave her an order instead."You can't talk to him because I said so!"Belle was mad. "Who do you think you are? Stop ordering me around!"With that, she angrily went back to the bedroom.Grayson was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Belle.Hence, he directed his anger toward Scott and Robert.He went to the study with a foul expression on his face
