Jake nodded expressionlessly and walked forward.He walked toward the nearest guy and knelt down. Without giving him a chance to speak, Jake grabbed his wrist and crushed it. A loud snap echoed in the air. The man's scream was bone-chilling.Jake didn't even blink. He simply walked to his next victim.The crowd could only stare in shock.Tristan's eyes were huge from surprise. He wanted Grayson to come and break them apart, not make things worse. Beating up Trent's subordinates in front of Trent was a huge insult to him. If it was someone who didn't know who he was, it might still be a light offense.However, Grayson was intentionally embarrassing him in front of a huge crowd. Trent would definitely hold a grudge."Calm down, Grayson," Tristan said.Grayson didn't listen to him. He held Belle's hand as he glared at the people writhing in pain on the floor. He looked exactly like an angry husband who was getting revenge for his wife.Even though Belle hadn't been hurt, he wa
The sound of bones breaking and loud screaming echoed through the bar. Trent stayed quiet.No one knew exactly how strong Grayson was. Trent was on the dark side, but Grayson wasn't exactly the most innocent person. Trent didn't dare to underestimate Grayson.All he could do was admit defeat after hurting the apple of Grayson's eye.He knew Scott and Grayson weren't on the best terms.If Trent only settled things with Scott, he could protect his pride.Trent said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Page. My men were foolish not to recognize you. They deserve to be punished by Mr. Page. I must apologize to you on their behalf."Grayson ignored him with a frown.Trent looked at Scott. "Should we settle our differences between us, Mr. Quinn?"Scott's bodyguards immediately surrounded Scott at the sound of that.Without waiting for Scott to reply, Grayson said, "You can't touch him either."Trent frowned. "What do you mean? I don't understand.""What I'm saying is, you can't touch my wife, and yo
Belle wanted to push him away, but Grayson's grip was too tight. She couldn't shake him off and called out to Robert, "I'll be going now! Call me if anything happens."Robert nodded. "Alright."He only turned to look at Scott after Grayson and Belle left. "Are you okay?"Scott replied with a sour expression, "I'm fine. It's just a scratch.""We'd better go for a check-up."Robert looked at Tristan. "Sorry, Tristan. I'll pay for all the damages."Tristan sighed. "That's nothing. The problem here is the rivalry between Scott and Grayson. They really are sworn enemies. They're both so aggressive! Belle is also terrifying. Birds of a feather really do flock together. "Neither of them care much about consequences, do they? They fight at the smallest inconveniences."Scott frowned. "If he dares to start anything, I'll guarantee his downfall! I don't think he'll be invincible against everything money can buy. There are plenty of professionals who are willing to be hired."Tristan sh
While Scott got his check-up done, Robert was getting the rundown of everything that happened. He was also checking the surveillance camera footage from the bar.He hadn't imagined that Belle would be such a good fighter. Her technique strongly reminded him of Mr. Bunny.Mr. Bunny had used the exact same techniques the other day in the fighting ring.Grayson had also defended Belle exactly like how he defended Mr. Bunny the other day.What if?Robert wanted to assume that Belle was Mr. Bunny, but after quite a few tests, he'd proven that Belle wasn't the person he was looking for.Robert didn't know where the problem lay.Grayson and Belle were already on the way back home from the bar.Grayson was furious because Belle had helped Scott fight. He was also pissed because of the last thing she had said to Robert. His expression was sour the whole way home. He didn't speak to her at all.Belle looked at Grayson, not knowing what he was angry about.After they had been on the r
Belle said, "They can't hurt me. Also, it was their fault in the first place. It was bad enough that they were talking shit about Robert, but Patrick's just a kid. Why would they say things like that about him? I'm on Scott's side. He did nothing wrong.""If you thought they were being unfair, you could've called me!" Grayson said. "You're just a girl. What are you doing running headfirst into a fight like that?""It's not like I couldn't handle it. Why would I call you? You make it sound like I'm weak and incompetent.""If you could handle it, then why are you injured?""Am I? I'm not injured."Grayson held up her hand. "It's red!"She remained silent in disbelief. "Is this really an injury?" she thought.The corners of her mouth twitched. She felt as if she had really become a weak, fragile little lady in Grayson's eyes."Is this what the Page family deems an injury?"Grayson glared at her with a frown.Belle pressed her lips together. She knew Grayson was simply worried ab
Phil frowned and sighed. "There's nothing to be afraid of. The Aspen family was wiped out by them back then. She's the only one left. What can she do?""Still, you know what happened that year. If the mysterious families want her, that means there has to be something valuable about her. I'm worried that she has some kind of superpowers. If she has powers, she'd be a very dangerous enemy."Phil replied, "Everyone was talking about how mysterious the Aspen family was back then, but no one knew why. No one's ever seen the Aspen family in action. Maybe all those rumors are really just rumors. Maybe the Aspen family are just normal people like you and me.""That's not entirely unlikely, but I'd rather believe that they are truly powerful," his confidant replied. "After all, the mysterious families shouldn't be taken lightly. If they really didn't have any powers, they wouldn't attack all at once."Phil sighed again. After a minute of silence, he said, "Let's not think about the Aspen fa
Belle had just met with Ginger.She had no idea that Xenia and Monica were planning to ruin her reputation."Over here, Belle!" Ginger called out excitedly when she spotted Belle.Ginger was still dressed in the uniform of Page Corporation's workers. She had obviously rushed out of the company without going home to change clothes.It was probably because she was super excited to find the brother she had lost for years.Belle walked over to them. Her glance shifted from Ginger to Ginger's "brother". His stare made her feel uncomfortable. She felt like there was more to him than met the eye.That didn't necessarily mean that he was a bad person, though. She didn't think too much of it and asked Ginger, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"Ginger said with a bright smile. "No, we just reached. Here, let me introduce you guys. This is my brother. He's 18 this year. Gabe, this is my best friend. I talked about her this afternoon. Her name is Belle, and she's 20 this year, so she'
Henrietta frowned. It was just a random lie she'd come up with, so she didn't have a name.Besides, even if it was the truth, she wasn't about to expose any real names of the higher-ups at the company.If she mentioned names, she wouldn't just be getting on Ginger's bad side. She would be offending a bunch of important people at the company. It was a bad move.Still, she wasn't about to give up her game. "You know better than all of us. Quit embarrassing yourself."Ginger scoffed coldly. "If you don't give me a name, I'm not leaving."Henrietta spat, "Are all whores this cocky nowadays? What kind of bitch asks other people for the names of people she fucked? I've seen shameless people, but you really take the cake."Ginger picked up the bowl of beef stew on the table, throwing it all over Henrietta. "Say it! You'd better give me a fucking name today. If you don't give me a name, that means you're just spreading rumors!"Henrietta hadn't expected that Ginger would actually do any
