Henry explained, "The Fleming family is one of the weaker ones compared to the rest of the mysterious families, but they hold a unique position as a neutral liaison of sorts that holds everyone together."They have two main sources of income. The first is that they're an information broker. The other is that they're a family of homegrown killers … They're hitmen for hire. It would seem that most of the murders among the aristocracy are done by the Flemings even though their price is high."Hiring the Flemings for help isn't easy either. They'll only take on a hit if the new client is recommended by existing clients. That's all I could find.""Mm, I see."Grayson hung up the phone and lit a cigarette.As he expected, the Flemings held a special role within the mysterious families. He believed that making a deal with them would kickstart their understanding of everyone else within this secret little social group.He began to think of ways to contact Gabriel.After some thought, he

Grayson tried to ease the troubled Belle."Go get some rest. You shouldn't be overthinking about anything when you're already tired, or else it's just going to end up in a cycle. You're really attached to Ginger, you know that?"Belle replied, "Of course, I am! She's my one and only female friend.""One and only? I thought you had two female friends?"Belle rolled her eyes in response."I can't believe you're stupid enough to believe that."She then stood up and headed upstairs.Grayson, surprisingly, was not angered despite being called stupid. "Had dinner yet?""Yeah, I already ate."His lips twitched in response, but he did not probe further.He had been waiting for her return to have dinner together, only to be surprised by the fact that she had already eaten.Grayson lost his appetite as he watched Belle head back into the bedroom. He could no longer enjoy having dinner by his lonesome.He decided to skip dinner and headed upstairs as well.He went into his study an

Finneas let out a long sigh."You're right. The Sanchez family doesn't share our values. I'll talk to Kent about it.""Okay."Grayson lit up another cigarette after hanging up.He then went into the bedroom after finishing his cigarette.Belle just came out from the shower, and her hair was still dripping wet.He habitually walked into the bathroom to help Belle blow dry her hair.As he approached her, Belle frowned in disgust."Have you been smoking again?"Grayson asked, "You could tell?""Of course, it's very obvious."He lifted up his arms and sniffed around. "I don't smell anything."Belle replied, "It's smelly as hell! You're just too used to it. What's so fun about smoking anyway? Just quit already!""I can't.""What do you mean, you can't? Everyone knows that you shouldn't smoke if you want to conceive a child. You'd better quit now or it might be too late."Grayson narrowed his eyes with excitement."You want to bear my child?"Belle almost choked to death fro

Belle continued, "I've asked Simon for recommendations, but he never found anything good. If you know some places, let me know.""I don't," answered Grayson.Belle pouted. "Why can't you help at all? I used to think that there was nothing you couldn't do."Grayson wasn't angry after being mocked. "I'm only human, after all."He would rather do the opposite. He would hinder her progress on resigning from his company and opening up a clinic.As of right now, he just wished for her to stay by his side.Sudden thoughts about New Year's popped into mind as he changed the topic."Have you decided where to celebrate New Year's with your grandpa?""Oh … I've completely forgotten about it. I'll give him a call now. Stop the hair dryer for a moment."Grayson did not comply. "Just a bit more. Your hair's still wet.""It's fine, it's fine." Belle stood up and headed to the balcony.Grayson stared at her, beginning to wonder if this was what it was like to look after children.He did no

Before Grayson could react, Belle was also woken up. She shot straight up from his arms.Her abrupt movements out of confusion accidentally hit Grayson in the crotch without a hint of restraint.Grayson pursed his lips as he desperately held in the pain.The still confused Belle sat up on the bed with her messy long hair draped over."Huh? Who? Where? What's that noise?"She turned around to find the phone ringing on the nightstand. Rubbing her eyes, she frowned as she stared daggers into Grayson."Can't you put your phone on mute? It's early in the morning! God…"Belle angrily pulled over the blanket and lay back down on the bed with her back facing Grayson.He gritted his teeth in anger, still unable to make a sound.It took some more time for the pain to dissipate. When he could move again, he picked up the phone and went into the bathroom.His first course of action was to check on his comrade in arms. After confirming its safety, he finally let out a long sigh and picked

Grayson felt like he was drained of energy after working for a while, and all he could think about was Belle.He could hardly compose himself with the thought of her just being next door.He decided to leave the study and bring his laptop to the bedroom.He did not bother Belle. He simply sat on the balcony to resume working. But now, he could take a look at her any time he wanted.Grayson felt energized as he recalled how much she liked money.He wanted to make even more money for her sake.It was almost noon by the time Belle finally woke up.Belle started stretching as she sat up lazily while yawning.She was surprised to find Grayson working on the balcony."What are you doing over there?"Grayson looked up at her and replied, "Work."Belle was intrigued. "Why aren't you working in your study like usual?"Grayson casually came up with an excuse. "I like the air here."Belle decided not to probe further. She soon jolted wide awake when she saw the time."It's already 1

Belle remained skeptical. "Aren't you hungry from skipping two meals in a row?""I'm not dying from starvation just yet.""So you are, in fact, starving? If you're hungry, why didn't you just eat?"Grayson was at a loss for words and quickly went for a rebuttal."What's with the interrogation session? Sit down and eat!"Belle continued, "You didn't starve yourself because of me, did you?"Grayson replied, "What do you think?""I don't think it's because of me.""Then it's not!"Belle let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank God. I knew it. You gave me quite the scare."Grayson was annoyed by her remarks. "What do you mean? What are you even scared of?"Belle took a sip of milk before replying."If you were actually unable to eat because I wasn't with you, that would mean that you were lonely and you missed me. Well, this usually only happens between couples in love, so it's not something that we have to worry about."Belle continued without waiting for his reply, "I was afrai

"Why don't you appease Mr. Page a little? Because of you, Mr. Page hasn't even had breakfast yet," Meredith added.Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Belle glanced at the yard. Grayson was standing there, smoking with one hand in his pocket. He was frowning, looking quite upset.Belle thought for a moment. Then, she put down her cutlery and went out.It was winter, so the temperature outdoors was quite different from indoors. It was very cold, so as soon as Belle went out, she shrunk her neck against the cold.Grayson frowned when he saw her. He looked like he didn't want to humor her, but still, he spoke."Why did you come out? Go back in!"Belle wrapped her arms around herself as she walked up to him. Shivering, she asked, "Aren't you cold?"He was only wearing a shirt. Belle was wearing even thicker layers than him, but she felt unbearably cold.Seeing that she was trembling, Grayson put out the cigarette in his hands. Then, he dragged her inside the house."You have to

Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" 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! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless. He felt defeated by the pet dog as he watched Belle and Sixteen skip and hop into the house.Meredith had already finished preparing dinner when they arrived. She put on a gentle smile as she watched Belle

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. She had spent the entire day with Xenia in the basement but hadn't managed to extract any useful information from her. Ava sheepishly c

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
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1268 Proud Of Him
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
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1267 Destiny's Guiding Hand
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
