"I don't believe you! The two of you definitely have secrets." Simon smiled smugly.Grayson glared at him angrily, but Simon just laughed it off."Alright, alright. I won't tease you further. But for real, your wife is a great catch. She has quite a nice physique. What is it about her that you don't like anyway? Or perhaps you're not into women?"Grayson glared at him again while flicking his cigarette."The person I want to marry isn't her."Simon was shocked. "You … You have someone in mind? No, wait. When did you even fancy someone? How come I've never heard of this?"Grayson did not reply, so Simon continued questioning him."I know! Was it that young lady from way back? I remember visiting you after you were rescued, and you mentioned meeting a young lady. You said you would marry her once you grew up. I thought you were just joking at the time. Could it be her?""It's not!" replied Grayson. He stopped talking to Simon after that. No one knew if his answer was truthful.B
Belle did not make a police report. She had insufficient evidence that June and Ingrid wanted to kill her.She calmed herself down in the rental house for a while. She turned on her computer, hacked into June's official website, and posted an announcement."In just one hour, a press conference of great significance will take place. We extend a warm welcome to all reporters."She turned off the computer after making the post and went home.She took a shower and put on exquisite makeup.She applied a rich, deep red lipstick and carefully curled her hair. Her choice of attire was an elegant, long black dress adorned with exquisite jewelry. She selected her most luxurious handbag to complete her ensemble. She paired it with towering skyscraper heels before leaving the house.Meanwhile, during a phone call with her agent, Craig Lovett, June was left in a state of shock."Press conference? When did I ever announce we're holding a press conference?"Craig replied, "You posted the an
Ingrid immediately shut her down."Absolutely not. If anything were to go wrong, we would be exposed! It's not worth it to kill her with our own livelihood. There has to be a better way where we can get the best of both worlds!""What idea do you have left anyway? It takes a long time to come up with a new idea. I can't wait any longer. "I don't want to wait even a single day more. I want her to die as soon as possible. The more miserable, the better!"June's eyes turned red, reflecting her ruthlessness.Ingrid frowned and kept silent for a while."Alright, alright. Stop worrying about Belle. You only have to focus on Grayson. Although our plan failed, at least we were not exposed. "Grayson and the others haven't suspected us yet. You should get going for your press conference. I want to calm down for now."June pouted and left to do her makeup.At this moment, the internet was exploding with discussions.June had been absent from the public eye for a considerable period. H
And because Belle said that she was June's backer, she became the center of attention! The atmosphere became even more heated, and the reporters gossiped among themselves. "Isn't June's sugar daddy a guy? Why is it a woman?""I know, right? June just said that her sugar daddy was wooing her. Could they be … lesbians?" "Huh? It can't be. June said that her sugar daddy is a guy!""Then who exactly is that? What's going on?"The crowd was in an uproar. June also widened her eyes in shock. "It's … you?"If she hadn't recognized Belle's voice, she would never have associated this person with Belle! In her memory, Belle always wore sportswear and tied her hair in a ponytail. She didn't wear any jewelry. She always dressed like some dull student. Meanwhile, the girl she was looking at was decked out in luxury brands and jewelry. She looked like a scioness and a girl boss with her charisma!June bit her lip and switched off her microphone. She lowered her voice and hissed through
June bawled her eyes out. "You'll regret treating me this way!""If he thinks I'm in the wrong, he can talk to me. I would agree to a divorce any day. However, it's up to us whether to separate. If you dare interfere with my life again, I'll make you regret it!"Belle left with her high heels clicking loudly against the floor. The crowd went into an uproar. News of June being someone's mistress immediately spread like wildfire. Grayson was going over some documents in his office when Sam came in to tell him what happened. Grayson couldn't believe his ears until he watched a livestream of the press conference. He was very shocked. He was also so used to seeing Belle's gentle and innocent side that he was surprised to see this domineering side of her! She was the direct opposite of her usual self! He frowned once the shock passed. Belle had ruined June's acting career with this whole fiasco. June was going to fall from fame and become a nobody. His peace would be disrupted ag
Grayson flung the phone at June and said, "Explain this!" June had just stood up, but her knees buckled, and she fell again. "I … I … I don't know what to say. I …"Grayson looked furious. "I'm giving you one last chance to explain yourself!" He did not raise his voice, but his tone was threatening. June was so scared that she trembled. " I… I … I never thought I would hurt her. I'm innocent …" She denied everything. "How dare you lie!" Grayson burst into rage. Even Belle raised her head to look at him.June was so terrified that she dared not say another word. She wept on the floor, and her sobs carried through the entire house.Belle pursed her lips and said to Grayson, "I think you should talk to her mother. She would know more." June was an idiot. Everything must have been Ingrid's idea. Ingrid's plan was perfect because she got away with everything, even hurting Belle.June was obviously not the mastermind. She wasn't that smart! Grayson frowned and phoned Ingrid, tell
Grayson couldn't stand June's crying. He yelled, "Shut up!" He didn't even spare her a glance. He said to Ingrid, "Take her home. She can't stay in the country anymore. I'll make arrangements for you two to leave the country."June widened her eyes and said, "I'm not going! I won't leave the country!"She couldn't make Grayson love her even when she was so close to him. If she left the country, she would lose all chance of being with him."I won't go abroad no matter what!" June sobbed and threw a tantrum like a madwoman. When Ingrid noticed veins bulging against Grayson's temple, she quickly dragged June off. Peace finally returned. Grayson and Belle were the only ones left in the living room. Grayson was frowning, and he looked angry.Belle also looked displeased while she chewed on her potato chips and glared at him. Grayson thought she looked like she wanted to punch him. He knew he was at fault, so he said, "I'll let today's incident go. You …""No! You can't let it g
One day, Belle caught wind of a new supplement called frostle pills going around Maltford. It had very good anti-aging and beautifying effects.Women who ate it looked ten years younger. The supplement was all the rage in the circle of wealthy women. Everybody wanted it, but the pill was very rare. Even money couldn't buy it! Belle wondered if it was really so magical. What herbs was the supplement made of? If Belle could manufacture the supplement, wouldn't she become filthy rich? Hence, she joined the people who were nuts for the supplement. They wanted it for its effects, but she wanted to study its formula.That day, the biggest auction house in Maltford announced that they would be auctioning two frostle pills three days later. When Belle heard the news, she immediately started preparing for the auction. She would win the auction no matter what. On the day itself, she dressed up elegantly and arrived at the auction. The crowd mostly consisted of wealthy women decked
