As soon as the two walked out of the private room, they bumped into Tristan.Smiling, Tristan said, "What a coincidence. I thought that you would've finished your meal by now, so I came over to have a look."With that, he dragged Grayson to the side. He passed Grayson a small bag. "This is for you. No need to thank me!"Grayson asked, "What is this?""You'll know when you get home and open it. I promise they're useful. These are good stuff I picked out after testing them out myself."Grayson narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Tristan. He had somehow sensed what they were.He felt that he wouldn't need them, but still, he accepted the gift.Meanwhile, Belle had already run up to the pond. She was curiously looking at the blooming water lilies in the pond.It was deep in the winter season, so the water lilies shouldn't be blooming on such a cold day. But they were blooming vividly here, so Belle knew that a lot of money was spent on taking care of them.Belle was still looking a
On the way home, Belle received a call from Robert."We've already figured out the incident with the bomb."Belle was surprised. "So soon?""Yes …"Robert relayed to Belle all the findings from the investigation. Hearing that, Belle sighed."No wonder the blueprint was leaked.""I've already sent someone to deal with it.""Okay, so what about Patrick? Have you figured out who it was that put explosives on him?""Yes. It's a household staff in the house, but she has already passed away. A few hours ago, someone found her body at the beach. They said that she drowned."Belle frowned when she heard that. It was too much of a coincidence for the woman to drown now. Someone had probably silenced her."Do you have another way to find out who the mastermind was?""We're still looking into it. Don't worry about this incident. Rest well.""Okay."Belle asked about Patrick's condition again. When she heard that Patrick had already gone to sleep, she was reassured.But when she thou
Ginger hastily asked, "What's the matter?""Nothing. It's a call from my boss. I may have work scheduled for me again. I'll go answer the call first.""Oh, okay."Taking his phone, Gabriel went to a deserted corner. Then, he swiped to answer the call. "Hello?""We can't have Robert around any longer. He investigated Academia Maximus, and he captured quite a lot of people today. It'll be a tough challenge for us to get the blueprint from Academia Maximus again."Also, he has strengthened the management in his team. His people searched our last shipment, and we haven't sent out our current shipment even now."Those families are in a worse state than us. They've paid a high price to destroy the Strauss family."Gabriel didn't care about these things. He asked, "Alright, what's my mission?""Phil."When Gabriel heard that, he narrowed his eyes. "Got it."After hanging up, Gabriel put his phone away. He stood where he was and looked at Ginger, who was nearby.Ginger was still hol
When Gabriel arrived at Phil's bedroom, Phil was still sleeping.Gabriel glanced at him. Then, he boldly walked from Phil's bedroom into the study.Phil's study was connected to his bedroom. Gabriel looked around leisurely, and he didn't hide the noises on purpose.Soon, Phil was woken up by the noise. He immediately sat up on the bed. "Who is it?"Gabriel's eyes narrowed. "You're awake?"Phil stared at Gabriel in fear for a moment. Then, he realized what was going on. Pushing the blanket aside, he got out of bed."Mr. Fleming! What brings you here so late at night?"Phil was panicking. He had no idea how Gabriel waltzed right into his bedroom. Cedric never reported it to him.He was about to call for someone when Gabriel said, "No need for that. I came here in secret, so they don't know about this."Phil was nervous. "Are you visiting in the middle of the night for s-something?"Gabriel said, "It's an emergency, but not really."Phil subconsciously gulped. He asked carefull
Frowning, Gabriel stared at Phil. "Are you serious?""Of course. I'm not completely sure yet, but it shouldn't be far from the truth. Think about it. Remember Finneas' personality and Grayson's current position and status."They wouldn't let an ordinary woman get married into the Page family!"Gabriel said, "You can't say for sure. What if Finneas simply admires her character?""That's not possible! Finneas is a cunning old fox. He wouldn't force Grayson to marry a woman just because of her character and looks. Also, I have more evidence to prove it."Look in my drawer. There's a photo inside. It's a photo of Wendy, which I tried my best to get my hands on many years ago. She's also that woman's mother. Take a look!"Hearing that, Gabriel narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a moment. Then, he turned around and walked to Phil's desk.Taking out the photo, he glanced at it. His heart skipped a beat.The lady in the photo looked exactly like Belle!Gabriel asked Phil, "What's t
Even if Gabriel wanted to dodge the subject, it was too late. So, he could only grit his teeth and say, "It's nothing. I accidentally grazed my hand when I was moving the goods."Ginger was very worried. "Is the wound deep? Let me have a look."Smiling, Gabriel said, "It's just a small wound. I already had it treated over there. Don't worry, just go to work."Ginger wanted to check the wound, but Gabriel didn't give her a chance to. He took the cutlery to the kitchen.Ginger followed him in and snatched the cutlery from his hands. "Your hand is injured, so you shouldn't get water on it. Let me do it.""Ginger, I'm fine.""You can't treat it like it's nothing. Take care when you're showering later."Seeing how worried Ginger was about him, Gabriel felt upset. He didn't know what Ginger would think of him if she knew that he had killed tons of people.Gabriel didn't dare imagine it. Turning around, he went to the bathroom. With a frown on his face, he washed away the blood on his
Belle was worried about the Page family and the Strauss family. She could tell that the massacre was most likely headed for them, especially the Strauss family."Let me know right away if you find anything.""Yeah."Belle frowned as she got out of the car and walked toward the office building.On the way, she overheard some discussions."The Strauss family is truly ruthless. They even went so far as to kill a three-year-old child! Even if they held a grudge against the Clark family, that's too extreme!""They even killed two pregnant women of the Sullivan family. This is beyond evil. Why rope in innocent women if it's just a grudge between the men? It's too cruel.""Are you sure the Strauss family did it?""It's either the Strauss family or the Page family. Everyone who died was all in opposition of them, while members of their own are safe and sound. I personally think it's the Strauss family doing most of the work!""My god, I thought the Strauss and Page families were kind
The factory that had been abandoned for over a decade seemed as bleak as one could imagine. Creepy sounds coming from insects and loose iron swaying from the wind were the only things Belle could hear.As Belle went deeper into the factory, she quickly noticed that she was being watched.She tried to ignore their gaze from the shadows as she ran straight to the center of the factory to confirm that Ginger was safe.She quickly arrived at her destination, only to find Ginger gagged and tied to a chair.Ginger's eyes widened in shock when she saw Belle. She then frantically shook her head, as if telling Belle not to come closer.Belle just frowned and ran toward Ginger.She was then interrupted by a stranger's voice. "Greetings, Ms. Walter."She looked over to find a man in a mask. He was staring at her with nothing but ill intentions.Frowning, she asked, "Are you just doing this for the money? Or are you doing this to hold someone hostage?"The masked man smiled. "For the mone
