Looking at the door, Robert asked, "Who is it?"The door creaked open.Patrick was standing at the entrance.Robert and Scott looked toward him at the same time. Scott hastily grinned, saying, "Patrick? Come on in. Let me hug you."Patrick carefully entered the room. He stared at the injuries on Scott's and Robert's faces for a few seconds. Then, he stuffed the band-aid he was holding into Robert's hand. He dashed away.Robert and Scott were speechless.After Patrick was gone, Scott said, "He quickly gave us a band-aid when he saw that we were injured. He knows stuff in his head but just refuses to talk."Robert frowned slightly, heartache and helplessness written all over his face.Scott continued, "Patrick will be turning seven soon. If he still doesn't speak by then, someone might cause trouble at the birthday banquet."Robert frowned deeply. "No one touches the Strauss family on my watch!""It's not like anyone can touch the Strauss family if they want to. I'm not scared
Rosa was there as well. She said in a small voice, "Belle, how can you talk about Mr. Page like that? You're such a worrisome child."Belle was mad, too. "It's not my fault, anyway. It's all his fault.""He's paying your salary, and you are surviving because of him. Even if he's at fault, you must endure it.""But he has gone too far, and I can't stand it anymore. Moreover, I'm not depending on his money to survive."The people in the secretarial department didn't dare let her into the office. When they saw how impulsive she was, they were even more convinced that she mustn't enter.They took turns convincing her, and it looked like they were coaxing a small child.Belle was young, and she had a straightforward attitude. She also looked extra sweet and pretty.So, the people in the secretarial department liked her very much. They treated her like their daughter or younger sister.But Belle refused to hear a word of it. She insisted on going in to talk to Grayson. Right then, Gr
It was Belle's turn to widen her eyes. The kiss was so sudden that she didn't expect it at all. It caught her by surprise.She was stunned for one second. Then, she hastily let go of Grayson, taking a few steps back.Grayson frowned a little. He looked like he hadn't had enough.A blush was appearing on Belle's face. Frowning, she glared at Grayson. She was both mad and disgusted as she wiped her mouth with all her might. She looked extremely disdainful.Grayson was even more upset when he saw that. He didn't like being treated like some dirty thing.Before he could say anything, Belle was already insulting him."Grayson, you're so shameless! You're a pervert, a good-for-nothing, a beast, and a jerk!"Belle was mad, wiping her mouth as she shouted. All the negative words she could think of were thrown at Grayson. She looked furious.Grayson's expression darkened. As he gazed at Belle's yapping mouth, he not only wanted to kiss it, but he also wanted more!As Belle shouted at h
"You … Do you even know what's on the computer? Do you want me to go bankrupt, and then we'll both be eating ramen noodles every day?""No one's eating ramen noodles with you! Go and eat them yourself!"With that, Belle threatened to flip the desk.Grayson hastily stopped her. "Belle, are you out of your mind?""You're the one out of your mind!" With that, Belle quickly climbed over Grayson's desk, delivering a punch to his chest.The punch hit hard. Grayson felt as if she was punching a hole through his chest.He was about to shout when a huge blow was dealt to his vital spot. He was in so much pain that he hissed.Through gritted teeth, Grayson said, "Belle!"Belle didn't even bother about him as she continued her attacks.She was very mad. She hadn't settled the score with him for what happened last time, and he had kissed her today. Not only that, he also refused to admit his mistakes. He even shouted at her!If there was a way to describe his actions, he could be describ
"What?" Belle widened her eyes and said, "You won't acknowledge it? It's written in black and white in our marriage contract. "Do you need me to show you? You forced me to sign it but won't acknowledge it now? How could you be so shameless, Grayson?" Grayson's expression was stormy. If Belle hadn't brought up the contract, he would have totally forgotten about it! He acted as if he hadn't heard her and said, "Stop making a fuss. Cut all ties with Robert if you don't want to be in the janitorial department. If you want to keep seeing Robert, then go and sweep the floor now!"Grayson let go of Belle and spoke up before she could hit him. "Put your needle away! Don't think you can hurt me with it. How will you explain yourself to my grandfather if you do hurt me? "Are you going to tell him you hurt me because of Robert? You won't just be embarrassing me but also Grandpa if you hook up with other men during our marriage!"Belle was furious but didn't know how to get back at him.
Belle was shocked to find out that Grayson had such a large lounge in his office. She immediately knew what he meant when he said he would show her that he was a man when he started tugging off his coat and tie. Belle quickly sat upright on the bed and warned him."Grayson! I haven't dealt with you for what you did last time. I swear you'll regret it if you touch me again. I swear I'll hurt you!"Grayson ignored her warning and started unbuttoning his shirt. He seemed hell-bent on having sex with her! Belle didn't wait for him to finish taking off his clothes. She would strike first.However, her phone started ringing in her pocket. She wanted to ignore it but accidentally clicked the answer button. Not only had she answered the call, but she even put it on speaker. An unfamiliar and elderly voice sounded out."Hello, is this Belle Walters? Hello … Can you hear me?"Belle frowned and fished out her phone. "Belle here. How can I help you?""I'm from Page Corporation's jani
Grayson would deal with Scott and Robert if he couldn't deal with Belle! Sam said hastily, "I've checked everything. There's no problem."The previous night, Grayson had ordered Sam to make everyone in the Game Development Department work overtime. He wanted them to double-check the game that was already in post-production.The company planned to release the game after the New Year's because Scott's new game had just been released. It was dominating the market, so it wasn't the right timing for Grayson to release his new game.That was why Grayson had scheduled to release it next March. Grayson tapped his cigarette against the ashtray and asked, "Can we release it any time?""Yes, sir.""Release it today!"Sam went blank for a moment and exclaimed, "What?""For free!"Sam's eyes bulged as he said, "Sir, do you mean that everything is for free? Including the special inventory and skins?""Yes, everything."Sam blinked in shock. If everything were for free, they would earn no
Belle was about to hurl insults at Grayson when she entered his office, but she saw someone else inside. A well-dressed man was seated opposite Grayson and discussing something with him.He looked at her when she came inside. Belle went blank for a moment. She had never seen anyone else in Grayson's office the last few times she was there, so she was at a loss for what to do now that he had a guest.She didn't know who the man was or how he was connected to Grayson, so she dared not behave rashly. She was worried that she would give the man a bad impression of Finneas.Grayson frowned and pretended like he didn't know her. He said, "What are you doing? Am I paying you to do nothing? Hurry up and clean the lounge!"She bit her lip and tolerated it. Then, she went into the lounge with her mop.The lounge was spick and span, so she didn't know what to clean. She started mopping the floor.She heard the man ask, "Is she from your company's janitorial department?""Yes," said Grays
