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—"

    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.

    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

    Are you still taking the medicine from Dr. Sylvester?" asked Lena."No, I've only taken it once when my condition worsened. I've never taken it ever since. Simon mentioned that he had given you a video call about it. I've only taken his medication that day as he was worried that it was an emergency."Lena frowned in response. She could not comprehend why and how Grayson managed to remain healthy if he had stopped taking the Sylvesters' medicine.She wondered if the medicine from Simon had helped create antibodies within Grayson's body that rendered him immune to her poison.She frowned and replied, "May I check your vitals?""Of course."Grayson cooperated with her as she began her work.She maintained her calm expression as she continued checking Grayson thoroughly while panicking within.The examination revealed that Grayson's body was in excellent health, showing no signs of potential illnesses.

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. "Hey, Sixteen!"Sixteen whimpered and offered Grayson a sheepish look.Belle scolded, "Why are you scolding Sixteen? You're a bad guy!"She then petted Sixteen on its head and stood up. "Let's go!

    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.

    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. I'm an only child, and

    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
