Belle quickly hid herself behind Yolanda and stared back at Grayson like a timid animal."Your Majesty, why is he always glaring at me? I'm scared!"Yolanda then glared back at Grayson."You brat, are you just trying to piss me off?"Grayson had wanted to ask who was pissing who off but kept his mouth shut out of respect. He was annoyed that his innocence was being questioned by everyone present.Yolanda continued to console Belle. "Don't worry, Belle. No one would dare bully you with me around."Belle responded with a couple of endearing blinks and hummed to show her acknowledgment.The doctor had initially planned for the observation to occur at the hospital. However, Belle insisted on returning home and staying close to Yolanda to avoid being admitted.Since then, Yolanda had been staying with the couple at their house instead of returning to her home out of concern for Belle's health.That night, Yolanda spoke to Belle."Belle, relax and rest well. He would never hurt you
Grayson angrily took off his shirt and left it on the floor as he entered the shower, ignoring Belle's demands.As the water began to flow down, Belle's figure could be seen outside the glass door."Sir Grayson! Are you there? Come out right now! Or else I'll call for Her Majesty in five … four … three—"Grayson was furious, but seeing that she was about to call for help, he quickly turned off the faucet and rushed out of the shower.His first action was to shut her up as he pinned her against the wall and covered her mouth.He did not want Yolanda to give him a lecture in the middle of the night.Belle stared at him with her eyes wide, as he was naked at the top at the moment.Droplets of water dripped from his hair and forehead as his eyes reflected his wild allure. "Just what the hell do you want?"She was slightly shaken but quickly tried to resist.Grayson, however, held her tightly in place.He warned her menacingly. "I'm going to actually murder someone tonight if yo
Belle could finally enjoy the blow drying session at peace as it felt way more comfortable in the 'low' temperature settings.She was no longer yelling from pain, and the bathroom quieted down.Even Grayson's anger had slowly calmed down.He stared longingly at their reflection in the mirror. He had never wanted to blow dry her hair in the first place, and yet he became sucked in the more he touched her hair.His desires were slowly being fanned as he combed his fingers through her hair. Over time, even his anger was blown away.He started to reminisce about the memories they had never experienced as a couple while relishing the sight of themselves engaged in a warm and affectionate activity.Grayson might have rejected Belle as his partner, but he was not planning to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.When he was younger, he had promised himself that he would give his partner the best in life, that he would love her, protect her, and even spoil her into becoming the happie
During breakfast, Grayson noticed that Belle's habits and preference for sweets never changed. She would even add sugar to her milk as usual.When Belle was chatting with Yolanda, she appeared just as normal as she could be, with no signs of craziness.Grayson's suspicions had only piled on ever since. He unconsciously began to look at her with sharp, judgmental eyes.The hostility was also apparent for the receiving end, although she simply ignored him. She still had her thoughts filled about the scented sachets.Belle realized that she did not smell the usual medicinal odor last night, even though Grayson should have been using it as usual.Or perhaps he had simply chosen not to use them last night. Belle had wanted to ask about the scented sachets but refrained from doing so for fear of exposing her crazy act.She thought it would probably be best to check out the scented sachets secretly."What are you glaring at?" Yolanda suddenly reprimanded Grayson.Belle snapped back
Melanie leisurely sat on the sofa, scanning Belle while muttering to herself, "Haha, I can't believe this is actually real. She's really gone crazy."This would be what they call karma, isn't it? All her sins have finally caught up to her! Hahaha!"She was overly excited and did not even attempt to hide her joy from watching others suffering.Yolanda's expression instantly turned grim. "What audacity … I would be kicking you out of the house if not for Finneas' sake! Mind your tongue!"Melanie was neither scared nor angry by the threat."Oh, Yolanda, I'm merely speaking the truth! Karma comes for all, one way or another. Why else would your dear Belle suddenly succumb to insanity?"Her great mood only amplified further as she continued without giving Yolanda a chance to reply."Oh well, I understand that you are angry right now. I would be angry too if I were you! I'm sure you're furious! How could this happen to dear Belle, the very girl you chose as your very own successor!"
Grayson stepped forward and grabbed Belle by her wrist. "What are you doing?"Belle was still mounted on Melanie, her other hand still pulling on Melanie's hair."This fucking bitch had insulted Her Majesty right in the face! I am simply dishing out appropriate punishment for her insolent behavior!"Grayson's eyes flashed with agreement, but he still tried to break up the fight for the sake of Finneas."That's enough, stop it!"The relationship between the two Page families had become increasingly frosty since Belle's appearance. Grayson tried to maintain neutrality and tried to ignore the other family despite all the unwarranted aggression just because he did not want to cause worry for Finneas.Finneas had always been one to value harmony within the family above all."Stop what?! Get out of my way! Don't try to obstruct my deliverance of justice!"Belle freed her hand from Grayson's grip and proceeded to punch Melanie once more."Do tell me if you would still dare to insul
Kent attempted to call in his bodyguards, only to be stopped by Finneas."You would blame Belle when she is currently a person with an unstable mind?"Kent explained with a grim expression, "So you would just let her run around and be a danger to others? I don't believe that she is actually crazy! Why else would she target only my family alone and not anyone else?"Grayson stood at the side while he unanimously agreed with Kent regarding the suspicion.Belle deliberately knocked down all her enemies while her allies were spared.He wondered how Belle would have known who was her friend or foe if she had been truly crazy.Grayson stood in anticipation of Belle's attempt to explain herself.Finneas, too, was left speechless. He stared helplessly at Belle as he pondered his words. Belle, however, would be the first to speak up."Do tell if you would still dare to bully Her Majesty! I will be getting an answer from all three of you by force, regardless. Anyone is welcome to chall
As soon as Grayson entered the kitchen, he pulled out his phone to call Simon, and they talked for some time.Half an hour later, Simon would appear at their house, all flustered."Will this be too risky? What if—""Don't worry about it. This is the best way to find out if she had been pretending to be crazy. The real Belle would be able to tell it apart right away."Simon had a worried look on his face. "It's a sound plan … But I'm just afraid that her life may be endangered."Dorothy had entrusted him with Belle's safety before going into seclusion. He was reminded daily that he was to protect Belle, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.And yet, he would now be serving poison to the very person he swore to protect.What he was about to do was the opposite of his promise. Simon was almost paralyzed by the multitudes of emotions raging within him.He understood that Grayson held no intent on murdering Belle. But he could not help but imagine the absolute extreme of possib
