Belle furrowed her brows. "Next time, stay away from her and avoid direct confrontation. People who use poison as their weapons are poisonous all over their bodies. Even the air around them might be toxic. It's very dangerous for you.""Understood," Jake replied.Jake's younger brother, Sam, was also in the ward. He was irritated. "What should we do, then? She's our enemy. We can't just keep avoiding her, can we? What if she comes to harm Mr. Page Senior? How do we deal with her then?"Belle thought for a moment and said, "I'll work on an antidote later so that you're protected from her.""Okay," Sam quickly agreed. He had a deep-seated hatred for Lena because she had once poisoned Grayson. He had been prepared to kill her that day but was stopped by his brother. However, he was also fearful of Lena's poisons.Grayson was still lying on the hospital bed. He didn't show much interest in Lena's actions. Instead, he turned to Jake and asked, "Who did you encounter today, apart from L
In the ward, Sam stood before the window. When he saw Belle getting into the taxi, he quickly told Grayson, "Mr. Page, Mrs. Page has left in a taxi."Furrowing his eyebrows, Grayson leaned against the bed and pondered.Grayson suddenly thought of something after staying silent for a while. "Where's Gabriel?" he asked Sam.Sam froze for a moment. He didn't expect Grayson to suddenly bring up Gabriel. "Gabriel? I don't know. Why?"Grayson turned to look at Sam. "Isn't Gabriel the one who fought with you?"Sam stayed silent for a moment. "I don't know. I haven't fought with Gabriel before. Do you suspect …""It should be him! Get someone to follow Belle! I'll be right over!"While saying that, Grayson pulled off the covers and was about to get out of bed. Sam quickly ran over to support him. "Mr. Page, slow down. Your health should come first. You can't go out when you've just undergone surgery! Besides, what does Gabriel have to do with this?"Grayson roared, "Stop talking no
Although Grayson was unsure if Belle went to Ginger's house, he knew she had gone to look for Gabriel.Ginger was the only one involved with Gabriel!Not daring to delay, Sam rushed to Ginger's house.Meanwhile, Belle was just about to return Grayson's call after ending the call with Gabriel. However, her phone had powered off.Belle could only tuck her phone away. Then, she looked up and was about to tell the driver the new address Gabriel had told her.Suddenly, she realized that her surroundings seemed unfamiliar. At that, Belle narrowed her eyes.Belle sat in the back seat and stared at the driver's side profile for two seconds. Without giving the driver a chance to speak, she placed her hand on the driver's neck. "Where are you bringing me?"Belle's voice was calm, pleasing to the ear, even. However, the driver couldn't help but shudder upon hearing it.When the driver attempted to resist with one hand, Belle swiftly locked his throat. "You'd better behave if you want to
The police soon arrived. Thankfully, the incident happened at night when there were fewer cars and pedestrians on the road. Thus, nobody was hurt.A few of the police officers recognized Belle due to the incident with Xenia. As they knew her relationship with Grayson, they didn't dare give her a hard time. They let her go after recording a simple statement.When Belle left, she saw that the driver was still crying. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if you get an unexpected sum of money, you should consider if you'll live long enough to spend it," she couldn't help saying.After finishing her sentence, she hailed another taxi to head to the address Gabriel had told her.Along the way, Belle wondered who was trying to hurt her.Belle wondered if it was Lena. However, she couldn't understand why Lena would want to harm her and the Strauss family. If it was not Lena, who else could it be?Belle couldn't think of anyone she suspected. Thus, she decided to put the matter asi
Gabriel paused for a moment before replying, "My boss."Belle looked at him and asked, "Who's your boss?""I can't reveal that.""Is your boss the one who told you that Phil's belongings contained information about the Aspen family?""Yes.""Why do they want to investigate the Aspen family?"Gabriel replied, "Anyone who knows something about the Aspen family would want to find out about their secret.""Do you also know about their secret?""I don't know, nor do I care about it. I only care about my sister."After saying that, Gabriel looked at Belle meaningfully. "This is also why information about you hasn't reached their ears yet. You should thank Ginger. Otherwise, I wouldn't be hiding you from them."Belle's mouth twitched. She knew about this very well.Gabriel added, "This is why I hope you can keep this secret for me. I don't want her to worry about me, nor do I want her to know about the Aspen family. The more she knows about them, the more dangerous it is for her.
Downstairs at Ginger's house, Sam was showing information about Ginger."The little boy called Gabe in the information should be Gabriel. Weird enough, he's from the Fleming family. Why did he grow up in Ginger's hometown?"Grayson didn't look up from the information in his hands. "Are you sure the information is correct?""It's correct. I even called the person to double-confirm the information. However, the census record shows that Gabriel is already dead."Grayson didn't reply.Sam added, "Looking at their upbringing, he should be quite close with Ginger. He even bought a house for her a while ago."Grayson knew that Gabriel was indeed very close to Ginger.From how Gabriel reacted just now, he cared a lot about her.However, Gabriel's identity was very confusing. Since he was from the Fleming family, he should have been brought up by them. However, he had spent his childhood elsewhere instead.Grayson wondered why Gabriel was brought up elsewhere. Could it be that Gabriel
Grayson replied, "Ginger was being hunted down by someone.""What?" Belle was shocked.However, Grayson was calm. "I went to find Ginger when I couldn't get in touch with you. I wanted to see if you had gone to Ginger's place to look for Gabriel. By coincidence, I saw someone chasing after Ginger with a knife. "She was screaming for help while running. So, I ended up saving her just like that."Belle's eyes were wide open. "On the streets?""Yup.""How daring of the person to attempt to kill someone on the streets!""Nobody could see the person's face clearly as it was so dark. Plus, Ginger lives in quite a remote area, which made it a good spot for the assailant. The person ran away after seeing us. I've already sent someone to go after them."Belle furrowed his eyebrows and fell deep in thought.Based on her memories, Ginger didn't have many enemies. Henrietta was the only one who held a grudge against her. Ever since Henrietta died, Belle never saw Ginger having any unplea
"Where's the person who went after my sister?" Gabriel asked.Just as Grayson was about to reply, Jake knocked on the window.Grayson wound down the window.Jake noticed Gabriel at a glance. The two just had a brief encounter not long ago. Although Gabriel was wearing a mask, Jake recognized Gabriel at a glance.Jake didn't say anything and turned his attention to Grayson. "The person is dead. I've already sent information about him to your phone."Grayson felt shocked to hear that. "Got it." He then furrowed his eyebrows.The car window rolled up again. Grayson fell into deep thought when he looked at the message Jake had sent.Realizing that something was off, Gabriel asked with a darkened face, "Who died?"Grayson didn't hide it from him. "The person who wanted to kill Ginger."Jake was stunned. "They're dead? How did they die? Did your men kill them?"Instead of explaining, Grayson handed him his phone.On the screen, there were photos and videos that were clearly taken
