Grayson finally snapped back to his senses and cursed at Belle. "Belle Walters! Are you fucking crazy?""You're the crazy one! How dare you! I'll beat you to death as punishment!"Belle would act recklessly on the grounds that she had gone "crazy".Grayson grabbed and held tightly onto her arm as his expression turned for the worst.Simon tried to mediate the fight. "Ms. Walters, please calm down. We can talk about this.""I am the king! I have no idea who Ms. Walters is supposed to be."Simon quickly corrected himself. "Ah yes, pardon me, my king. Please refrain from killing your loyal subjects!""Hmm. You're right. The man before me is Sir Grayson himself! Then why did he attempt to serve me poison? He must be plotting to usurp my throne! I shall exterminate your bloodline for treason!"Simon tried his best to suppress his emotions. "The soup wasn't poisonous!""It isn't? Then why did he knock the bowl away?""Ah well, it's because … Because the soup was bitter, and he was
Grayson sat at the study table, smoking. His expression was dark.He firmly believed that Belle was faking her madness. But she wouldn't have dared to drink that poison if she truly was faking it.To make it real, he didn't even change the contents. He had given Belle real poison, and she drank it without even thinking!She would have consumed the poison if he hadn't reacted quickly. She was so fast that even Simon couldn't stop her.Simon said, "Belle has gone mad for real. What do we do?"If Dorothy knew about it, she would be devastated!Grayson took a deep drag of the cigarette, staying silent.Simon sensed that Grayson wanted to be left alone. He also feared that he would turn into a real knight if he stayed behind. So, after a brief exchange with Grayson, he hurried away.Belle's voice rang out from downstairs. "Sir Grayson! Come forth!"Grayson's expression darkened as much as it could, but he still got up and went downstairs.Belle was still sitting on the couch, munc
While Grayson was getting pomegranates, Belle rushed up to the second floor.She dashed right into Grayson's study. Then, she began to search for it.The sachet wouldn't be in their room when Grayson wasn't sleeping. She suspected that Grayson had kept them in the study.But oddly enough, she didn't smell anything medicinal in the study.The sachet had a piercing smell, so if it were in the study, she would have caught a whiff of it right away.It wasn't in the bedroom or the study. She didn't know where else Grayson could have hidden it.Also, it was just a sachet to treat insomnia. He had no reason to hide it, anyway.Before Belle could figure it out, she heard Grayson coming up the stairs.Startled, Belle hastily closed the drawer and looked for a hiding place.She had just convinced Grayson, so she couldn't afford to rouse his suspicions again!As for the sachet, she decided she could only do something about it after Grayson fell asleep. After all, he would use it every t
After finding the sachet, Belle took a whiff of it. There wasn't anything off about it.But when she opened the sachet, she almost fainted from the smell of medicine.Belle hastily closed her eyes, frowning as she took time to recover herself. Then, she opened her eyes. Enduring the discomfort, she shook out all the contents of the sachet.As she studied it earnestly, her frown deepened. She found that there was indeed a deadly poison among the mix in the sachet! Belle was stunned.She couldn't believe it. With a grave look on her face, she studied it again for a longer while. In the end, she was sure that her findings were correct. There was indeed a deadly poison in this sachet!It was also the highly toxic sort. A person could turn powerless after using it for only a month!Belle looked in disbelief at the sachet in front of her. This wasn't some miracle drug. Instead, it was a deadly poison that could kill!That would explain why her sleep was abnormal after the sachet appea
"Ms. Walters, where are you?" Meredith's voice sounded from the door.Belle was stunned. She didn't expect Meredith to come over at that moment.She feared that Meredith would notice that she had touched Grayson's sachet. Then, Meredith might tell Grayson about it when he came back. So, Belle hastily put away the sachet as she found it.Belle had just finished putting it away when the door opened. Meredith walked in.Belle hastily pretended to be sleeping. Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "Are you looking for me?"Meredith was anxious when she saw Belle. She hastily approached Belle, saying, "Why are you here? You frightened me. I thought you had gone missing."As Meredith spoke, she helped Belle up. She said, "Mr. Page called me and said he will return late tonight. He wants me to come over and keep you company."Upon hearing that, an odd look flashed across Belle's face.If she hadn't discovered the sachet, she would have caused trouble for Grayson. She would tell him to come bac
In Grayson's eyes, Lena was a miracle doctor!If Lena could cure Belle, Grayson's days would get much better.Hence, Grayson took out his phone again and called Lena.Lena was living in a small house in an urban village. The sky hadn't turned dark yet, but her room was already shrouded in darkness.She liked dark surroundings, so she would draw the curtains even during the day. She felt more secure that way.Her phone screen lit up, turning into the house's only light source.Frowning, Lena took her phone and glanced at it. When she saw that it was a call from Grayson, she immediately sat up.She thought the sachet stimulated Grayson too much, so she got very emotional. After picking up the call, she asked, "Do you feel any discomfort, Mr. Page?"Grayson said, "Sorry for bothering you. I'm not the one feeling discomfort. It's my wife."Lena instantly frowned. An upset look flashed across her eyes, but still, she asked calmly, "What happened to your wife?""She fell from the s
Meredith called Belle downstairs for dinner. Belle pondered while she ate.Before dinner was over, Grayson suddenly came back early.Belle was stunned as she looked at him.He said he would be returning later, but he came back before 6:00 pm! She couldn't escape if he was back already.Belle was deeply troubled.She glared at Grayson unhappily. Grayson also glared at her, upset.He was forced to return because he was bombarded by calls from Finneas and Yolanda!Finneas said, "Grayson, be good and listen to me. Don't think about work for now. Just stay at home and focus on keeping Belle company. You can only return to the company when Belle has recovered. This is an order!"Yolanda said, "Grayson, you scoundrel! Belle is still sick, so how can you leave her alone at home? She's your wife, so you should take responsibility for her and take good care of her. Go home right now!"Alfred said, "True love is revealed in the face of trouble. Maybe Belle will be touched after this inci
The intensity in Grayson's gaze shifted in the blink of an eye!He frowned deeply, looking at her feet, hooking at his legs. He gulped.In his eyes, Belle was seducing him!He had always desired Belle's body. So, he was completely vulnerable to her seductions. He was very sober then, and he knew he shouldn't humor her.But she was using her feet to toy with him. He couldn't possibly resist that!Grayson gulped in secret as he lowered his gaze at Belle's feet.Belle had dainty feet and seemed to be a size six at most. They were slender, long, and very fair as well. Those feet probably hadn't seen much sun, so they were extremely fair.They were like high-quality porcelain dolls. A mere glimpse of them stirred a strong desire in Grayson. He wanted to own them!Grayson didn't know what Belle was trying to do. If she were truly out of her mind, she wouldn't have seduced him in such an obvious way.He didn't know why she wanted to seduce him, either. She didn't like him, after all.
