Grayson fell asleep very early that night because Belle hadn't only put the antidote in the soup but also sleeping pills. She needed a way to examine him to see how seriously he had been poisoned.Belle checked his pulse and found that his condition was worse than she had expected. Grayson was gradually becoming weaker.It definitely had something to do with the scented sachet! He would get himself into deep trouble if he continued using the sachet.Belle frowned as she stared at him. He didn't frown while he was asleep, so he looked more gentle than he did when he was awake.Belle thought he was quite good-looking when he wasn't in a bad temper. He had nice facial features and good skin.However, when she thought of how he behaved every day, she felt like there was nothing good about him again. Belle let her thoughts run wild for a while before deciding that she would help him! She would do it for Finneas and Yolanda's sake! While he was asleep, Belle gave him an injection and
Robert frowned and replied, "Why are you pretending to be crazy?"He had been trying to contact his senior lately to confirm Belle's identity but to no avail. He had been so focused on this matter that he hadn't heard of Belle becoming mentally ill.Belled said, "Mainly because I want to get out of working at Grayson's company, but there are other reasons. Now that you know I'm just pretending, you don't have to worry. Keep this a secret.""Okay."Robert stared at their chat after their conversation ended, and there was a spark in his eyes. If Belle was willing to share secrets with him, it meant that she treated him as a friend.He already felt happy, although he hadn't discovered her identity yet. He looked at the list of unfamiliar herbs and called someone to purchase them in the middle of the night.Grayson was not in the bedroom the next day when Belle woke up. He had woken up early and gone to work out as usual.Belle quickly washed up so that she could leave the house whi
Belle narrowed her eyes and gazed down below. One of the men pointed his gun at Grayson and said, "You don't have to know who sent us. All you have to know is that your death is near!""Sure, let's see if you have what it takes to take my life," said Grayson. Then, he dashed to the man and broke his arm with a loud snap! "Ah!" wailed the man as he dropped his gun. Grayson gripped him by the throat and looked at the other men."I'll give you guys one last chance to tell me who sent you," said Grayson. The men looked at each other. Finally, they still chose to bite the bullet and fired their guns at Grayson at the same time.Grayson picked up the man's gun and dodged behind the tree. Three shots sounded out.The three men got hit in the knee and collapsed to the ground. Then, a group of people dressed in black surged forward.They were swift and skilled, just like professional assassins! Grayson engaged in a gunfight with them, and soon, his gun ran out of bullets. Belle felt
Grayson hadn't expected this turn of events, and he shook off Belle's grip with a frown. "What did you put in my mouth, and what are you doing here?" he demanded."Fools die because they talk too much. Shouldn't you be running for your life? Why do you have so much to say?" retorted Belle.Belle was about to pull him forward again when Sam appeared. Belle asked in shock, "What are you doing here?""I …" Sam scratched his head awkwardly because he did not know how to explain himself. He looked at Grayson and said, "Mr. Page, those people have been subdued. They are all unconscious from Ms. Walters' poison, so I can't interrogate them."Grayson turned to Belle. He didn't know if he should scold her or compliment her. He wanted to scold her for jumping out and ruining his plan, but he also felt like complimenting her for saving him when he was in danger. Besides, the thing she had fed him must be an antidote. He ended up saying indifferently, "Give Sam the antidote."Belle took
Belle cursed him out in her thoughts and said, "I came here for a walk!"Grayson didn't buy it and said, "How could there be such a coincidence?""I don't know either. Why did I have to bump into you even on a walk?"Grayson pursed his lips and stared directly at her. A thought struck Belle as she watched his expression. She must have given herself away for pretending to be crazy when she had jumped from the tree and saved him! She had been so focused on going to his rescue that she had forgotten about pretending to be crazy.She blinked and tried even harder to act mentally unstable. "I saved your life! Let go of me before I bite you!"Grayson was already 99% convinced she was just pretending to be crazy. However, the fact that she had saved him diverted his attention. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you save me?""I've already said that you're like a son to me. What's wrong with me saving my son?"Grayson was speechless. He looked at her for a moment longer and let go
Belle was extremely annoyed with the way Grayson was speaking. She calmed herself down before saying, "If you treat me well, I'll give you anything you want, but if you don't, I'll kill you and your family!" "Is that so?" Grayson said, challenging Belle. Belle was not used to being challenged by Grayson. She said, "It is so if I say so!" "Please tell me. What do you want me to do?" Grayson whispered into Belle's ear. He almost bit onto her ear while speaking. Belle shuddered at that. She blushed and turned away. "What are you doing?" Grayson trapped Belle in front of the sink and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" He was trying to seduce Belle. Belle's heart beat faster. She didn't know what to do. Belle remembered what happened at the hotel that night and blushed even more. She didn't know what Grayson was thinking. She stuttered, "You … just need to do what I say. I'll be pleased if you listen to me. Then, I'll give you what you deserve.""So, I just need to liste
Grayson's hand glided up and down Belle's body. Belle shuddered as her mind went blank. Grayson felt as if he had lost control. His emotions run high. He lost control of his strength, and he grabbed Belle too tightly. Belle felt pain, and she got angry at Grayson. She bit down on Grayson's lips till she could taste the blood. Grayson stopped what he was doing as he felt the pain. He stopped kissing her and frowned instead. Belle took in deep breaths immediately. She was going to slap Grayson, but Grayson reacted faster than her. He grabbed her wrist and kept her pinned down on the bed. Belle was furious at that. She yelled, "You ungrateful piece of shit! I saved you, and this is how you repay me? I'll kill you! If not for Grandpa, I would have killed you a thousand times!" Grayson stared at Belle as his chest heaved up and down. He was furious at himself. He knew that Belle didn't love him. After he found out about that, he tried to control his desire for her. He sw
Belle was pouting as she looked toward the door. She felt guilty that her act had made the people she cared about so worried. She felt even worse after listening to what Grayson said. She was quite distraught by the event. Belle got up to take a shower and changed. Grayson had torn the pajamas she was wearing.Grayson was still not back in the room even after Belle was done showering. Belle thought that he was not going to come back. So, she got into bed to sleep. However, she just couldn't seem to sleep. She didn't know whether it was the fact that she was distraught or because of what Grayson did to her. She didn't feel the urge to punish him at all. Belle thought about how her body had intertwined with Grayson's just now, and her heart beat faster. Her body grew warmer, and her face flushed. She pulled the blanket over her head as if she had done something to be ashamed of. Belle was under her blanket when Grayson returned to the room. She peeked out of the blanket a
