Grayson was momentarily stunned after hearing what Belle said. "Who?""Stop acting! I'm talking about Xenia Sanchez! Did you think I wouldn't notice? She's been secretly giving you flirty looks the whole time. Something must be going on between you two!"Grayson felt wrongly accused by her. "What could possibly be going on between me and her?"After saying that, a thought crossed his mind. Then he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you jealous?""Haha!" Belle burst into laughter upon hearing his words. "I don't even love you. Why would I be jealous?""If you're not jealous, are you being nosy about your husband's affairs then?"Belle replied, "I'm not. I just don't want her to be the next June. I can see she's brighter than June, so it'd be better if you clarified our relationship with her."She added, "I don't want her to get jealous and give me a hard time. I'm not easy to mess with, you know."Grayson was almost at a loss for words. "But there's nothing between us!"Belle ca
Moreover, she was also skilled in makeup. Other girls use makeup to make themselves look prettier. But clearly, it was different for Belle. It seemed like she used makeup to disguise herself. With that, it was easier for her to conceal her identity whenever she went out.Grayson thought Belle was a girl with many secrets but also exceptionally talented. In certain aspects, he admired her. But how could one explain Belle's past 18 relationships?How could an extraordinary girl like her be so easygoing in relationships?Grayson felt that there was a possibility that the information he received was false. If Belle liked dating around, why didn't she find a partner? After all, she had been in Maltford for several months. However, Grayson had gotten the information from Henry. Thus, it should be correct. Grayson looked at Belle and frowned slightly. Back then, he could not be bothered with her. But now, as he became interested in her and started paying attention, Grayson re
June got mad and yelled, "Do all of you know who I am? How dare you stop me? Listen, I'm a celebrity, June …"Before she could finish her sentence, she remembered about her recent situation.Then June immediately changed her tone. "I've got an appointment with Ms. Jordyn Sylvester. Please let me in now."The Sylvester family's security guard remained polite. "I'm sorry, miss. But Mrs. Sylvester Senior has instructed us that she'll not receive any guests these days. No one can enter the Sylvester Residence without her permission.""I have an urgent matter!" June snapped. "Please call Mrs. Sylvester Senior then. I won't stop you if she gives you the green light."At that point, June was fuming. She took out her phone and called Jordyn. Soon, Jordyn rushed out of the house while looking apologetic. "I'm sorry, June. I just found out about my grandmother's orders."June got mad. "Is it because you don't want to sell it, or do you want to keep the pill yourself? Jordyn, you must
June was incredibly proud. She was confident that she could secure Dorothy's frostle pill.She believed she would be even more beautiful than Belle after taking it. After that, June wanted to see what rights Belle had to compete with her for Grayson's attention.Who did Belle think she was? She had no power or influence in an unfamiliar city. Once she left Grayson, she would surely become a nobody in Maltford. The more June thought about that, the happier she was.Since she was in a good mood, she invited Jordyn to a beauty salon together.As soon as they left, Belle arrived at Sylvester Residence.The security guards at the entrance thought she was there for the frostle pill. They stopped her and said, "We're sorry, miss. Mrs. Sylvester Senior is not entertaining visitors today."Belle took out a small box before replying, "Do you mind passing this to Mrs. Sylvester Senior? I'll wait here."After a moment's hesitation, the guard accepted the box.Meanwhile, Dorothy was kne
Grayson was just rushing toward Sylvester Residence. Just when he was almost there, he received a message. Belle was competing at the boxing gym again!Grayson was stunned. With Belle's standing in the local boxing gym, nobody would dare to challenge her.Grayson wondered if the person challenging her was not a local.At that, he furrowed his brows. He never liked foreigners who boxed. Not only were they arrogant, but they also liked to use dirty tricks to win!"Go to the boxing gym!" Grayson told Sam."Yes!" Sam immediately turned the steering wheel. At that moment, the boxing gym was in a mess.The competition was scheduled at the last minute. Thus, many wealthy people called to ask and reserve their places once Liam announced the match. Although Belle's competition ended fast, it still garnered the most attention. She was capable, after all.Belle and Grayson reached the boxing gym almost at the same time. While one went straight to the VIP private room on the second floo
"I give up!" Belle said suddenly.Wayne was confused, and so was everyone. At that moment, Belle put a hand over her stomach, looking desperate. "I ate some hot wings before I got here, so I have a stomach ache. Just consider me the loser. I'll give him ten million later on!" she told the referee.The match would only stop in the boxing ring if one gave up, not if one felt sick halfway through. Upstairs, Grayson was also confused. Hot wings? In the afternoon?She was lying! They'd eaten only healthy and nutritious food for lunch, so there was no way she'd get a stomachache. But why was she lying?Grayson unconsciously focused on Wayne. He had a nice face and a straight back, so he could be considered handsome. Did she fall for this guy so hard that she didn't want to hurt him anymore?Grayson frowned. Was Henry's intel true? Was Belle the type who acted weak to lure men and didn't care who took the bait? But she didn't like him, so … Meanwhile, in the restroom, Belle sat
Wayne was stark naked on the bathroom floor with his eyes wide open, clearly dead.The cleaning lady was scared so badly that she shrieked over and over again. Meanwhile, Belle frowned and walked over before stooping down to examine Wayne. He'd been poisoned. Had Wayne been competing with all this poison in his body? But he'd never said anything about an antidote! Was he unaware of the poison? Belle's face fell. Now, she was even more suspicious that someone was using Wayne to test her.She didn't dare stay here for too long, so she discreetly removed her bug and tried to walk away. The water had washed away the poison. Even if someone else touched Wayne's body, they wouldn't be poisoned."Miss, please stay here!" The hotel manager suddenly blocked her way.At the same time, Grayson was sitting in a luxurious car downstairs with a murderous look, glaring in the hotel's direction.He'd already known something was wrong when Belle suddenly lied about a stomachache in the rin
Belle pouted. "I wasn't the one who called you over. You don't have to help!""Why, you—Why are you still being stubborn at a time like this?""Am I wrong? If you think I'm annoying, just go. I'll figure something out myself," Belle grumbled.She had already formed a plan. If push came to shove, she could always call Finneas.If that didn't work either, she'd just reveal her skills and tell them she was a doctor who only followed Wayne because she noticed he'd been poisoned.After all, her grandfather did say that there were a bunch of bad men in society, but most cops were good people.Grayson was pissed off at her attitude. "You're going to get it once we're home!" Then, he turned to the police officer next to them and said, "She's innocent."Belle whipped up her head to look at Grayson, surprised by what he had said. She had initially thought he was annoyed by her. Combined with what happened with June, she thought he hated her enough to throw her in prison. Instead … he wa
