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
Meredith was idling as she had already finished preparing breakfast. Upon seeing Grayson coming downstairs, she asked, "Has Ms. Walters gotten up yet?""Not yet. 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. Noticing that he was in a good mood, she mustered the courage to approach him.Other employees were shocked, thinking she was looking for an early grave.She seemed almost suicidal, trying to block their boss' way.Henrietta was hounding over the scene, waiting for tragedy to unfold. Grayson, however, calmly inquired Ginger about her actions."What is it?"Ginger could not help but shiver in the face of such a divine figure before her. She steeled her resolve and asked, "Mr. Page, may I ask if you know anything ab
As she was being followed, Belle decided not to head for the diner to avoid involving Ginger.She wandered around the city for a while and noticed no hostility from her stalker. She began to wonder if it was just the security personnel assigned by Grayson that was trailing her.Belle decided to give Grayson a call.Grayson was in the middle of a meeting with the upper management of his company. Work had accumulated due to his absence.He was not in the best of moods due to the underperformance of his company. As such, his grim-looking face was sending fear into everyone's heart.Other than the executive currently giving a presentation, everyone else tried to keep even their breathing to a minimum so as not to risk annoying Grayson.Grayson had positioned his phone with the screen facing downward. As per his meeting protocol, his phone, along with everyone else's, was set to silent mode on the table.As a result, Belle's call could not reach him.Belle decided to call Sam instea
After Belle had hung up, Grayson remained lost in thought.He felt dissatisfied as he had not yet had enough of her voice.He returned the phone to Sam and picked up his phone. He switched off the silent mode and left it face up on the table to avoid missing her calls again.He then turned to Sam and whispered orders to withdraw all the security personnel assigned to Belle before resuming the meeting.The executives were utterly confused after witnessing Grayson showing such a gentle side of himself.Meanwhile, Belle had put away her phone and took a taxi to the diner.She was relieved after confirming that her stalkers were actually just Grayson's men.She was also surprised by Grayson's actions. Although she hated it, she still found his goodwill endearing.She felt that Grayson had been treating her well since Dorothy's incident.In fact, he had been treating her really well.She assumed that he was just returning the favor for saving his life.Although she never expected
Ginger was unaware of Belle's actual meaning behind her words."I know what you mean! Nobody likes going to work, honestly. I would rather lie around at home all day if I could. But then again, everyone has to go to work to make a living. So, you might as well make a living doing something you like, in some place you prefer. And for that, I've chosen Page Corporation!"Belle was stunned by her words, particularly about finding a job that she would like. She thought about what she liked.She liked surfing the internet, tinkering and developing medicines, fighting in the boxing ring, and researching.She thought about the broad category of hobbies she liked, which made her realize she did not need to work for Grayson."You're right. I should be doing what I like to do."After having lunch with Ginger, Belle headed straight to the office to find Grayson.Grayson was delighted to see her, but Belle had come to make amends."How do I resign from working here?"Grayson frowned. "You
Grayson replied, "I'm free. When do you want to meet up?""How about right now?" Lena responded. "Sure. Should we meet up at the café as usual?""Why don't we meet up at your house? You've mentioned that you also wanted me to examine your wife. It will be the most convenient option."Grayson quickly became suspicious of her words. He began to wonder if Lena just wanted to meet with Belle.He would not have cared less if Lena just wanted to survey his house. But he would not risk bringing any trouble to Belle.Fury blazed in Grayson's eyes. He would give Lena hell if she had her sights on Belle.Noticing Grayson's silence, Lena added, "Is that not a good idea?"Grayson replied, "It's fine. I just can't guarantee whether or not my wife will be at home tonight.""That's alright. I'll be in Maltford for the next few days. We can shift the appointment to some other day. Just let me know."Grayson continued, "It's fine. Let's just meet up tonight. You can skip the medical checkup
Belle met up with Yolanda at the shopping mall.Yolanda was thrilled when she saw Belle. When she was younger, Yolanda had always wanted a daughter. During her pregnancy, there were widespread rumors that consuming spicy food would lead to having a daughter. Consequently, she started eating spicy food every day.It wasn't until the child was born that she discovered it was a son.A male heir was great news for the entire Page family, while Yolanda cried on her lonesome.She did not hate her son but simply wished for a daughter who could have been her best friend.She never intended to have a second child. So, her wish for a daughter would never become a reality.Now that Yolanda had a daughter-in-law, she naturally became very close to Belle and treated her like the daughter she never had.Yolanda's love and affection for Belle was genuine. Over time, Belle reciprocated her feelings and became extremely close friends with Yolanda.Belle felt and cherished the motherly love fr
They went hunting for Belle to settle the score. Xenia furrowed her brows as she followed suit.She felt slightly responsible for Monica being bullied by Belle.She had stopped troubling Belle ever since Finneas' birthday party.Xenia went overseas to keep a low profile to avoid being caught and had only returned to Maltford after receiving news that Belle had gone crazy.She believed that ample time had passed for her attempted poisoning of Belle to have been forgotten.She also assumed that Grayson would have abandoned Belle due to her presumed madness and, therefore, saw this as the ideal opportunity to return to Maltford.She did not expect something like this to happen on her first day back home.Xenia concluded her thoughts and then turned her attention to Monica. "Monica, was Belle acting normal?""What do you mean, normal?"Xenia whispered, "I heard that she had gone crazy.""Gone crazy? Is that real or just fake news?""I'm not very sure myself."One of their frien
