Grayson tugged at his tie as if venting his frustrations.

Belle did not notice his abnormal mood as she was deep in thought about the situation with Robert.

Some time had passed before Grayson finally broke the silence.

"Robert fell for you when you were a woman, and he still fell for you after you disguised as a man. It seems like his feelings for you are genuine."

Belle stared back at him in shock. "Who said anything about Robert falling for me?"

"No one. I have eyes."

Belle replied, "You'd better not be making up stories about me."

Grayson was furious.

"You think I made it up? Think about it—Robert treated you differently from other women when you were Belle Walters. And now, he still treats you differently when you're Mr. Bunny. Why else would he be so biased if he had not fallen for you?"

"The Strauss family has been in a slump since Patrick had gotten into the accident. Robert going out of his way to meet you personally at the police station in the middle of the night, o

    Grayson finished his barrage of questions in one go.Belle was stunned as she had deliberately tried to dismiss all of them.She was worried that exposing her medical skills would result in Noah extending their marriage."Do you think that I can't be trusted, or is it because you think that I can't help?" Grayson continued his pursuit for answers.She hurriedly shook her head. "No, it's neither.""Then what's the big deal?"Belle stared at Grayson for a moment in silence. "I … just don't want to talk about it."Grayson just silently stared back at her in disbelief.Upon returning home, she went straight to cleaning up and removing her disguise. Grayson, meanwhile, went straight to his study for a smoke.By the time Belle was finished and came out of the bathroom, Grayson remained cooped up in his study.She realized that her keeping secrets from him had inadvertently upset him. She was simply afraid that revealing the truth would result in extending their marriage as per her

    Belle began her story."I grew up learning medicine from my grandpa. As a result, I've been proficient in detecting poison as well as concocting them."The opponent for my boxing match today had poison planted on him. And the same poison was also present in all my opponents back then, from Alder to Wayne. "It would be impossible for the average person to tell that poison was at play. Furthermore, it would have been fatal with just a single touch."I first witnessed the poison from Alder, and I simply brushed it off, thinking that he was willing to use any means to achieve victory.""Next came Wayne Quarles, and surprisingly, he also had the very same poison planted on him. I immediately surrendered with an excuse to avoid fighting him. "I became suspicious, thinking that it was all a setup. Someone out there was testing to see if I was truly able to detect the poison."I chose to surrender in order to hide my medical skills and began to keep a low profile.""And finally, toda

    Before Belle could reply, Grayson quickly added, "Know thyself, know thy enemy. We need to learn more about Lena before we can deal with her. Be patient about your revenge for now."Belle's lips twitched as she could not wait to bring Lena to justice. But she also understood that Grayson was speaking the truth.Their knowledge of Lena was limited, but they were aware that she was a formidable adversary with exceptional medical abilities and a willingness to kill without hesitation. To confront someone like Lena, they needed to comprehensively grasp both her strengths and vulnerabilities.They were eager to uncover the motives behind Lena's sinister plot against the Sylvesters, especially Grayson. Belle, in particular, yearned to ascertain whether Lena held any personal grudges against her.Belle sighed and nodded her head. "I understand."Grayson replied with a gentle tone, "Tell me when you encounter problems, and tell me if you need help. I'm your husband and your closest ally

    Ava continued, "Because of Mr. Page's interest in Mr. Bunny … I'm afraid it's way more troublesome than we expected." Lena asked, "What happened to the incident last night?"Ava replied, "The police had initially caught Mr. Bunny at the crime scene. Mr. Page followed Mr. Bunny to the police station, and Robert was subsequently notified. "Nobody knew what happened within the station, but Robert released Mr. Bunny. My guess is that Robert did not want to get into trouble with Mr. Page.""Mr. Bunny went along and got into Mr. Page's car the moment they exited the police station. We never discovered their destination. Our fear of Mr. Page's concealed bodyguards scattered throughout the city deterred us from attempting to tail them."Lena frowned at the mention of Robert.She had to secure her relationship with Robert, now that Grayson was no longer a pawn under her control.She did not have the time to deal with Robert just yet.

    Daniela paused for a while before replying, "He must die if he is no longer a pawn under our control. But if he had already realized the truth, it would be impossible to finish him off."Lena replied, "I'll find a way."Daniela sighed and continued, "I suggest you hold off on your plans for meeting him."Lena did not answer.Daniela understood her daughter best. Lena's silence was akin to having made up her mind, in this case, to meet up with Grayson.Daniela realized that her words could no longer detract Lena from action.Silence held up the call until Daniela decided to change the topic."I've heard about Mr. Bunny. He is possibly related to the Aspens. Do you think that mother and daughter pair would still be alive?"Lena remained silent.Daniela continued, "Their existence would be the biggest threat to our own. They would never forget and forgive us for what happened. That Wendy Brooks bitch is especially hard to deal with, and you know what her daughter has—""What her

She went to bed late yesterday, so just let her sleep in for now."Meredith hurriedly nodded. "Of course."Grayson headed to the office after breakfast. Given that he had not been there for a while, his employees were surprised to see his reappearance.Ginger was at the receptionist's desk as he walked in.

    Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" Belle then held her face in her hands and pretended to cry.Sixteen immediately calmed down as it nudged Belle's hands with its paws, trying to comfort her. Belle broke character, revealing a grin. "Are you still mad at me?"Sixteen, appeased, finally got into her arms and launched into enthusiastic licks.Grayson watched the exchange with a hint of envy.

    After returning to the house, Ava asked, "Why did Xenia go crazy? Wasn't she fine not long ago?"Lena wiped her hands and handed the towel back to Ava. "Someone drugged her and induced hallucinations of her worst fears. She's been on the edge ever since. After all, she did commit all sorts of misdeeds." "Someone?""Belle Walters."Ava was shocked. "Why would Belle drug Xenia?"Ava and Lena had been moving from place to place, seeking a safe hideout ever since they picked up Xenia. They had only found a relatively safe place today, so Ava finally had the chance to inquire about the details.Lena shot her a look of disgust and proceeded to ignore her question.Ava dared not press further and changed the topic. "Now that Xenia's lost her mind, can we still get her to talk?"Lena continued to ignore her and went to scribble down a prescription. She had spent the entire day with Xenia in the basement but hadn't managed to extract any useful information from her. Ava sheepishly c

    Meanwhile, Ginger, too, was grappling with confusion. She'd also offered Hunter money, only to be stunned into silence by the astronomical sum in his bank statement. Compared to him, she was practically penniless. The largest amount she'd ever held was a few million Gabriel had won in the lottery—a drop in the bucket compared to Hunter's wealth."Why do you think Mr. Sanders was so wealthy?" Ginger queried, seeking Gabriel's insight.Gabriel was similarly grappling with confusion and remained quiet. However, he was preoccupied with a different mystery. His mind was consumed by the deaths of Penny and Terry. He had taken time to visit the corpses and noted the peculiarity surrounding their deaths. Their autopsies revealed unusual injuries that baffled forensics.Both victims, young adults in their prime, looked as if they'd been scared to death.Aware of Hunter's ties to the Nightwalkers, Gabriel wasn't surprised by the inheritance. Compared to the wealth amassed during the Sanders f

    Belle pondered aloud, "While Hunter isn't as averse to exploring tombs as Benjamin, they share a similar disposition. Otherwise, with his expertise, he could easily be making a fortune.""The Sanders ancestors might not have been saints," Grayson conceded, "but perhaps Hunter's grandfather started a positive trend. Like Benjamin, he likely tried to shield Hunter from their legacy. A truly evil man couldn't have raised such a kind son."As Benjamin grew, he remained kind-hearted despite his timidity. And now, Hunter has grown into an upright, kind, and courageous young man. His talent for exploration makes him the pride of his lineage."Belle nodded and sighed. "Money is crucial for a comfortable life today. With what Hunter has, financial worries shouldn't trouble him. He'll be well provided for."Grayson pulled her into his arms and responded, "Don't fret. While Hunter may still be in school, he's mature for his age. He can take care of himself just fine."Belle leaned onto his s

    Hunter crouched by the bed, methodically clearing away the books until a single floor tile lay exposed. Prying it open revealed a dark hole just big enough for one person. Grabbing a flashlight, he squeezed through the narrow opening and emerged into a moderately sized room of perhaps about 130 square feet. Wooden boxes, weathered with age and adorned with simple designs, filled the space.Hunter made a beeline for a particular box, brushing off the dust before prying it open. The wooden box was filled to the brim with notebooks. Hunter sat down on the floor, picked up one of the books, and started reading it.This hidden chamber and its contents were discovered by a young Hunter, seemingly guided by destiny. Hunter's father, Benjamin, had buried them, driven by a desire to safeguard their knowledge from Hunter's curious gaze. Fear had gripped Benjamin after learning about the Sanders family's history, the expertise that had seemingly drawn them toward a dangerous path. He

    Nora let out a long sigh. "It's fine. Just keep it with you! I don't really need the money right away or anything. Besides, an old woman like me won't be spending much in town even if I tried."Hunter stopped Nora as she was about to leave and took a wad of money from his bag. "I have 20,000 dollars right here. It's far from the actual price, but you can keep it for now. I'll pay you the rest when I can."Nora was stunned. "Where did you get so much money?""It's the money I gathered from donations for the funeral, mostly from Ms. Belle and Mr. Grayson.""Oh, that makes sense. Here I was, wondering how you managed to get such a huge amount from donations. I can tell your friends are really kind-hearted people. You should treat them just as well as they treat you, okay? Study hard and make a name for yourself, and then you'll be able to properly repay their kindness.""Yeah, I know. Anyway, the gold nugget weighs slightly over 17 ounces. So, its worth is about 37,500 dollars. I'll pay y

    As the final step of the funeral, the townsfolk gathered for a meal after Benjamin's burial.  After Benjamin was buried, Belle and Ginger approached Hunter, inquiring about his plans for the future. Belle expressed her desire for Hunter to stay with her and Grayson, mentioning that their house had plenty of spare rooms. The only drawback would be that it was quite the distance from his school, but they could always arrange a driver for him.Ginger also invited Hunter to stay with her and Gabriel as their house had just finished with renovations. They also had a spare room for Hunter if he were to join their house.Hunter was genuinely touched by their offers, but he still declined them both. "I'd like to stay in my school's hostel for now. I'll think about what to do next when I graduate."Belle and Ginger recognized that they couldn't sway Hunter's decision, so they ceased their attempts to pressure him into making a choice."If you run out of space for your belongings, you ca

    Hunter detailed, "I recall every person who came to offer prayers for my father... However, it was during my trip to the restroom that the dogs began barking. Upon my return, I spotted some unfamiliar footprints. Without seeing anyone there, I dismissed it. But upon hearing about Penny and Terry's deaths this morning, I began to connect the dots..."Both Gabriel and Grayson were left speechless.Gabriel exchanged a glance with Grayson before turning back to Hunter. "So, you're suggesting that the stranger who came to town also visited your house to pray for your father before departing to exact revenge on Penny and Terry for Mr. Sanders' death?""Yes.""Why didn't he meet you then?""I don't know.""Any other suspects you have in mind?"Hunter shook his head. "My father and I don't have friends other than you guys. It's just the two of us for as long as I can remember.""Could it be someone else from the Sanders family?" asked Gabriel."I don't think so.

    Belle, Ginger, and the rest of the group arrived at 8:00 am. They noticed the crowd alongside police cars at the entrance to the town. The two of them then squeezed through the crowd to make it to the house as soon as they could. "What happened, Hunter?"The policemen were stunned by their sudden arrival. "Who are you?""We're Hunter's friends. You can tell us about what happened."Hunter's eyes gleamed with hope as he greeted them. "Ms. Belle and Ms. Ginger!"Grayson's car stopped in front of the town alongside a truck filled with equipment for the funeral.Without Belle and Grayson's friendship, Hunter would have had to manage all the funeral arrangements alone, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Ginger.Sam remained outside to stand guard while Grayson and Gabriel entered the Sanders family's old home.The townsfolk and the police were shocked when they saw them.They didn't recognize Grayson or Gabriel, but they could tell at a glance that they were really special peo
