Chapter 544 Hot Temper

Author: Flora Hopkins
Belle got surrounded by a group of rich ladies before she could get far. They showered her with compliments and started talking about Grayson.

Belle felt tired of them, but it wasn't right for her to ignore them. She didn't know any of their names, but they looked familiar.

After all, Belle had attended many banquets with Grayson, and the circle of rich people was quite small. She had seen some of the women before.

For the sake of the Page family's reputation, she couldn't give them the cold shoulder. She had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

Meanwhile, the person who had approached Grayson said, "You're a very lucky man, Mr. Page. Your girlfriend is beautiful."

Another man said, "Mr. Page seems to be deeply in love with her. Just look at him. He can't take his eyes off her."

"Hahaha, are you worried that something will happen to her? Don't worry, Mr. Page. Nobody dares to bully your girlfriend."

"I'm just worried that someone will make her unhappy. She has a hot temper and is

    Trent kept quiet for a few seconds before he smiled and said, "I've always been unlucky. I've been bullied since I was a kid. I've cheated death countless times, so I'll never regret a path I've chosen. The worst-case scenario is just death, isn't it? Haha, I'm not afraid!" Trent's men started yelling too. One of them said, "Exactly! We peasants are nothing compared to the Strauss family anyway. It's so easy for you to kill us, but we're not afraid. We'll help the people of Maltford get the truth even if we have to risk our lives!"Scott was so angry that his face became as red as a tomato. He shouted, "Who gave you the fucking right to represent the people of Maltford? You're just a bunch of gangsters who do nothing but bully the citizens. Why are you playing the good guys now? Just tell me what you really want and stop using the people of Maltford as an excuse."The man who spoke earlier was struck speechless, and he was furious. He wanted to retort, but a look from Trent made

    Robert composed himself. "You don't have to get pissed off over them. Patrick's unwell, but I'm still here to protect the Strauss family. I accept the duty.""But… don't you have other more important duties on your shoulders?" said Scott.Robert glanced toward Belle again. "I have to keep up with the changes in the situation. It's still my responsibility."Scott didn't know that he was talking about Belle. Sighing, he patted Robert on the shoulder."Don't worry. I have your back. Once the Strauss family is in calmer waters, you can focus on doing your own matters. I most likely won't be leaving anymore. I'll help you take care of your grandfather, Patrick, and Mrs. Strauss," said Scott.Robert looked at him, feeling beyond grateful. Meanwhile, Belle was pissed off.She said, "How dare they come and cause trouble! It seems like they haven't learned their lesson from the previous time. They need a good beating!"Grayson cast a glance at Trent. Coincidentally, Trent's subordinate w

    Grayson didn't reply to Jake's text. He thought for a moment and said to Belle, "There's dessert over there. Help me get some."Belle looked at him in surprise. How was he still in the mood to eat at a time like that?Before Belle could ask, Yolanda scolded Grayson, "Can't you see that she's talking to us? Go get your own dessert."The other ladies laughed and teased Grayson."Goodness me, don't go poking your nose into young people's business." "Grayson only asked Belle to get him dessert because he likes her. He won't eat anything other ladies get him.""Exactly. It's a gesture of love, haha."Pursing her lips, Belle said to Yolanda with a smile, "It's fine. I'll help him get dessert. Carry on without me."Belle behaved elegantly, and she looked pretty no matter what she did. After she left, the ladies complimented Yolanda about how lucky she was.Yolanda said, "Grayson, I'm lucky to have Belle as my daughter-in-law, but I'm not the luckiest person yet."The ladies looked

    Phil Sanchez had arrived fashionably late. The atmosphere in the hall changed the moment he walked in. The sound of chatter ceased a great deal. Phil grabbed Belle's attention, and she asked with a frown, "What's he doing here? Isn't he on bad terms with the Page and Strauss families?"Grayson forgot his displeasure and said, "Even troublemakers like Trent were allowed entry, much less Phil."Frowning, Belle looked disgusted. As the person who was the most capable of taking that position in the Strauss family, he became the center of attention.The event was about to start. Phil had already arrived, but Patrick was still nowhere to be seen. People were starting to gossip."I'm here to attend a birthday party, but the birthday boy is nowhere in sight. What a joke.""Exactly. What's the Strauss family up to?""They're not up to anything. I think Patrick just doesn't have the balls to show up. I heard that he's not just mute but also autistic. He can't meet strangers.""He can't

    Tom said calmly, "Unfortunately, Patrick is sick and can't come today."Hearing this, the crowd began to discuss the situation again."He's sick? Is it so coincidental that he fell ill on his birthday?""Exactly! Is he really sick or is he just pretending?"Someone impatiently said, "He's had a condition all along. There's no need for him to pretend. Mr. Strauss Senior, we heard that Patrick is mute and also has autism. Please tell the truth in front of everyone. Are those rumors true?""Yes, give us a straightforward answer. If it's true, then we're wrong to offend him. If it's not true, then let us meet him."Scott was irritated, and he responded, "Mr. Strauss Senior said that Patrick isn't feeling well and can't come to the party.""It doesn't matter that he can't come. Just take a video of him so that we can see for ourselves!"Many others joined in agreement, and the discussions quickly escalated."Right, a video will be enough. We want to see for ourselves if he's alrigh

    Phil immediately furrowed his brows, and many of those who supported him did the same.Belle said, "If you want to seize power and take over, just say it out loud. You don't need to beat about the bush. You're already so old. Don't you have any shame? Don't you all feel disgusted after hearing what he said?"Phil exclaimed, "You!"Belle continued, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm about to throw up. He clearly wants to take Mr. Strauss Senior's position, but he insists on making it sound like he's very unwilling to do so and that he's stepping up in a time of crisis. How ridiculous is that?"She continued, "And even if Patrick isn't feeling well and isn't suitable for the position, don't we have Robert? If Robert doesn't want to take over as well, there are still other candidates, right? How can we elect an elderly person who's almost 70?""You!" Phil's face turned red, and he was so agitated that his breathing became irregular.Xenia couldn't remain calm either. "Belle, how

    After a while, Xenia said with frustration, "Don't drag Grayson into this. He's like Robert; he's never wanted that position."Belle lifted her chin and retorted, "What's your relationship with him that you can address him so familiarly? I call him by his name because I'm his girlfriend. Who are you to speak so familiarly of him?"Xenia was speechless.Belle turned to Grayson and asked, "Tell me! What's your relationship with her?"Grayson looked at Belle with narrowed eyes. "In that case, what's my relationship with you?"Belle was momentarily stunned, thinking she might have gone too far and angered Grayson.The next moment, Grayson reached out and pulled her into his embrace, saying, "We've already slept together, yet you're jealous of someone else."This statement couldn't have been more straightforward. Belle was Grayson's lover, while Xenia was an outsider.Belle felt her face turn as red as a tomato!Being the center of attention and in Grayson's embrace, as well as con

    Belle was standing on Grayson's side, her eyes widened in surprise. When Yolanda heard this, her eyes welled up with emotion. She couldn't help muttering, "This little brat has finally grown up!" Alfred was also very pleased and nodded in agreement with Yolanda, saying, "He's grown up." Tristan and his group were standing on the side, whistling and enjoying the atmosphere. Belle didn't know why Grayson said such things. He didn't even like her. Her heart raced uncontrollably, beating faster. Looking at her, Grayson said, "You don't need to restrain yourself to please anyone in the future. Just be yourself and do what you want. I'll be there for you no matter what happens." Her eyes blinked rapidly, and her heart was racing more than usual. A sudden, urgent ringtone interrupted this moment. It was Phil's phone. He furrowed his brows, and his expression was dark. He let out a sigh before slowly taking out his phone. After hearing what the other person said, Phil's eye

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. 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

    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.

    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
