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
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. He appeared to be even healthier than the average person, confirming that the
Grayson narrowed his eyes in suspicion."You've just explained that I was healthier than ever. Why change to a new formula now?"Lena explained, "Insomnia is considered a chronic disease. You may feel better now thanks to the medicine from Dr. Sylvester, but your body may collapse again once its effects wear off. "Treating your insomnia will take some time, so I've adjusted my scented sachets to resume your medication."Grayson knew that Lena was giving him a newly developed poison.He remained calm and accepted her poison with gratitude. "Thank you, Lena. You're always looking out for me."He then kept the new batch of scented sachets in a bag while making sure Lena caught on to his actions.Meredith then approached Grayson."Mr. Page, the meals are all ready. You may have dinner whenever."Grayson turned to Lena. "We've known each other for so long, yet I've never invited you for a meal. If you don't mind, please join us for dinner."Lena hesitated for a moment before agre
