"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
Gabriel shot a meaningful look at Grayson. He knew that the group of people didn't like Grayson and Robert.The reason why the Strauss family had so many incidents going on lately was because of them.If Grayson and Robert weren't capable enough, they would've been dead a long time ago!The group of people was secretive and autocratic. They kept themselves concealed, not letting outsiders know anything about them. At the same time, they were always vigilant about the happenings in the outside world. If anyone served as a threat to their influence, they would go to great lengths to eliminate them.After staying silent for a while, Gabriel said, "You said it yourself that I'm from the Fleming family. Why would I help an outsider like you?"Grayson replied, "I didn't ask you to help me. I want to make a deal with you.""What can you offer me?""Ginger's safety."When Ginger was brought up, a hostile look flashed on Gabriel's face. "Are you trying to threaten me with her?"Grays
At this moment, Gabriel could see how grim Ginger's expression was. "Ginger, don't be afraid. I just got the news that the culprit has been caught," he lied while sitting beside the bed.Ginger was stunned. "He's been caught?""Yes. Grayson's men caught him. He's now with the police."Ginger quickly asked, "Did they interrogate him thoroughly? Who's that person? What grudge does he have against me? Why does he want to kill me?"Gabriel replied, "He doesn't have a grudge against you. He just has a mental problem. The nurse accidentally lost sight of him, and he escaped from the psychiatric hospital this afternoon. "He was holding a fruit knife when he ran away. According to the hospital's nurse, he used to sell fruits and loved cutting fruits. Half of the fruits in the hospital were cut by him."Ginger was suspicious. "I'm a human, not a fruit. Why did he hunt me down to cut me up?"Hearing this, Gabriel answered, "The head of the hospital said he probably wanted to talk to you.
Ginger smacked Gabriel. "You brat. What are you saying? You don't live in Maltford, so you don't know Grayson's status here! I'm not trying to scare you, but he's so influential here that nobody can match his power."Gabriel scratched the back of his head and pouted. "You actually hit me because of him. Do you admire him that much? Who's more important to you in your heart? Me, or him?"Ginger pursed her lips. Then, she pinched his slender cheek like he was a child. "You, of course! You're all I have. However, Mr. Page did save me. So, we still need to respect him and not call him by his name. "You need to refer to him as Mr. Page, okay?""Okay. I understand. Ginger, I'm hungry. Please cook something for me." Gabriel tried to divert her attention by giving her something to do.Once Ginger's attention was diverted, she would stop thinking about that incident. Soon, she would also stop fearing it.Ginger heaved a sigh and said, "I'll go and do it right now."Pulling off the cover
Ginger inquired, "Is everything sorted out?"Gabriel affirmed, "Yes, we can move in now."Ginger remarked, "I should talk to the landlord here. It's not appropriate to leave so abruptly.""Don't worry," Gabriel reassured. "I've already informed the landlord.""What? When?""When you were cooking just now. There isn't a single surveillance camera in here. It's way too dangerous. Also, after we leave, we can keep an eye on the renovation of the new house."Ginger still felt like it was much too rushed, but she couldn't argue with Gabriel's reasoning.She was oblivious to the fact that the landlord for their new place had requested an additional 50 percent in rent, citing the urgency of the move, and she was also unaware that Gabriel had only recently found the new residence. Additionally, she remained unaware of the half month's rent that Gabriel had forfeited for their old place due to the urgent move. All Gabriel desired was to relocate Ginger from that old, dilapidated hous
"You-You bastard! Beat him up! Teach him a lesson!"As the individual on the other side of the call shouted, Gabriel soon found himself enveloped by a cluster of burly men."Apologies, Mr. Gabriel."During the exchange of words, they initiated a barrage of punches toward Gabriel, who skillfully ducked and dodged their attacks. In retaliation, he fought back vigorously. By the conclusion of their skirmish, Gabriel bore a few bruises and scratches. Nonetheless, he emerged victorious. While his opponents collapsed, he remained standing, undefeated by any of them.Clearly, the individual on the other end of the conversation had a way of seeing everything that transpired. "Bastard! You bastard! You'd better not step out of line. If you go overboard, you'll never see Ginger again. I'll ruin the rest of her life!" the caller shouted. "You'd better not cross me either!" Gabriel yelled.Suddenly, a woman's crying voice emerged from the speaker. "You guys haven't been fighting recen
Grayson spotted Belle's pictures almost immediately. He zoomed in and noticed that they had all been taken secretly.Phil had done a thorough investigation on Belle. He had even written down some pertinent details about her background. "This has to be fake. Finneas would never let Grayson marry some village girl. She looks just like Wendy and is probably her long-lost daughter. She's the girl everyone was looking for back then."Grayson frowned at the long hand-written paragraph and continued reading.Phil's documentation of the events from that time closely aligned with Finneas's account.Back then, the news of the Aspen family had been accidentally leaked and caused an upheaval among the mysterious families.Various different organizations from across the world began to attack the Aspen family. They were all looking for the same person—a little girl named Bethany.Apparently, she wasn't built like a normal human being. If they could get their hands on her, they could rule the
Belle didn't mention that she was the victim. She just said that her friend had gotten into trouble.Henry didn't know that Belle was his boss' wife. He didn't think to make the connection between Belle and Grayson after watching the video.After sending all the information, he sent a text. "Whoever attacked your friend is a very intelligent professional. She had picked a very good place and avoided every surveillance camera nearby. "That's why we couldn't see who got into her car first. However, I spotted a very familiar silhouette near the accident site. She's likely the killer. I've captured a screenshot from the footage. It's not very clear, but I hope it's useful.""Alright. Thank you." Belle texted back."No worries. You don't need to stand on ceremony with your senior," Henry replied.Belle didn't reply anymore. She kept rereading his messages and looking at the two pictures he had attached after his message.The pictures were taken at different places. One of them was f
