Chapter 869 The Jealous Duo   

Author: Flora Hopkins
Gabriel tucked his hands into his pockets. He could tell that Grayson was jealous.

He raised an eyebrow, ready to enjoy the show.

Grayson could feel his eyes on him and glared at Gabriel in annoyance.

Gabriel began to look even more interested.

It was hard to look away since Gabriel had never seen this side of Grayson before.

Belle glared at Grayson and repeated, "Bare minimum? Are we looking at the same thing? I think you should get your eyes checked."

Ginger couldn't help but blurt out, "It really is beautiful! You're very talented. I'm much older than you, yet I could never paint something so pretty. The art really does take after the artist. Your art is as good-looking as you are!"

Gabriel's expression immediately soured after that.

It was his turn to be jealous.

He watched as Ginger stared at the painting with stars in her eyes. She was full of surprise and admiration.

Gabriel fell silent.

What was so good about the painting?

It was just some paint on a canvas!

    Since Ginger drove to the clinic, they decided to drive her car to the restaurant. Ginger beckoned for Hunter to get inside, but he said, "You guys can go ahead, Ms. Belle. I'll keep my dad company."Belle said.,"Don't worry. We have a canteen in the clinic. A nurse will accompany your dad while he gets lunch."Ginger said, "Let's go eat! If you don't go, I can't accept your painting anymore."She liked Hunter's work, and she really would love to have one in her study.Hunter hesitated for a second before finally getting into her car.When they asked him what his favorite food was, he said he was fine with anything.When they asked him what he was in the mood for that day, he also said he was fine with anything.Belle and Ginger knew that he was just too shy to say anything, so they both chose a popular restaurant nearby.It was less than 15 minutes away from the clinic and was quite a nice place, except for the fact that it was extremely crowded.There were so many people in

    The people at the next table were also discussing the cases. "It's obvious, isn't it? So many children going missing definitely has something to do with the fact that Robert Strauss is gone. Why didn't they go missing while he was around?""Yeah, I agree. Everyone knows how powerful he is. Those criminals are scared of him too, and while he was around, no one dared to make waves like this. The moment he left, these problems started popping up.""Robert is the only one in the Strauss family who can actually do anything worthwhile. All the others can do is pay to have the trending searches deleted."Ginger couldn't help but argue quietly, "The Strauss family might not have done that to get rid of their responsibility. They probably just didn't want to cause panic. It must be scary for those with kids at home." She sighed and continued, "The families who can afford it have already started to drop off and pick up their kids themselves. Even the ones who live right next to the schools

    Hunter's change in expression caught the attention of the man with his legs up on the table, who scoffed and walked over. "Hey, brat. What are you looking at? Does this table belong to you?"Hunter didn't say a thing and immediately turned away.The man had already approached their table. Instead of continuing to egg on Hunter, he changed his target to Ginger and asked with a large grin, "Hey, baby. Is this your brother?"As he spoke, he put his hand on her shoulder and began to rub his finger on the strap of her bra teasingly.Ginger instinctively slapped his hand away and yelled, "What do you think you're doing?"The man immediately roared, "What the fuck? How could you lay your hands on me? You're all witnesses, okay? She hit me first, so whatever I do, it's self-defense!"He shook his fist in her face, but instead of punching her, he threatened, "Hey, bitch. Would you rather get beaten up or would you like to get to know each other a bit more deeply in my car?"Get to know e

    Belle didn't reply. Instead, she said to Ginger, "Keep an eye on Hunter."Getting up, she walked out with clenched fists.The men had just walked back in from outside and started yelling the moment they saw Belle. "Bitch! I'll fucking—"A series of loud slaps, punches, and bodies slamming against the ground rang out."Ouch!"In just a matter of minutes, all of the burly middle-aged men were bleeding in some way or another.They were staring at Belle in shock and disbelief. They clearly hadn't expected her to be such a good fighter.They finally realized that they were in trouble, and some of them scurried off with their tails between their legs. They didn't even want their meals anymore.Belle turned and looked at Ginger and Hunter. She was pissed.If she had been in the mountains, she would have strung those guys up and given them a thorough beating for three days and three nights straight. She would never have let them leave so easily.However, she couldn't do that. She had

    Simon listened to Ginger explain everything while he finished writing up the prescription. He was furious as well. "Have you guys called the police?""Yes, but those guys already ran off. I don't know if the police will be able to find them, since they don't sound like they're from around here. Hunter got pretty seriously injured to protect me. I hope nothing happens to him."Ginger was extremely worried about Hunter.Simon consoled her and said, "Don't worry. Ms. Walters is an excellent doctor. She won't let anything happen to him."Half an hour later, Belle walked out of the operation room. Ginger hurriedly asked her if Hunter was okay.Belle replied, "He'll be fine. His bone wasn't broken; it was displaced. I've already helped him fix that up, and apart from that, he has a couple of external injuries. But they're nothing more than a scratch or two."Ginger finally relaxed and said, "Thank god he's okay."Belle got the nurse to push Hunter into his father's ward. She explained

    Belle panicked and asked, "Your heart hurts?""Yeah."Belle took Grayson seriously and frowned anxiously. "Describe it.""It just hurts.""Alright. Lie down and I'll do a check-up on you."Grayson looked at her with a dark expression without moving.Belle was incredibly worried. "Hurry! Heart pain isn't something to joke about. Go and lie down."He couldn't bear to make her so worried and mumbled, "You know what? It doesn't hurt anymore."Belle stared at him. "It doesn't hurt anymore?"Grayson said with a dark expression, "My pain isn't physical. It's psychological.""What do you mean?"Grayson was about to accuse her of what she had done when a nurse suddenly shoved the door open. "Ms. Walters! You have to come quickly. An old man just fainted outside. His heart stopped!"After she spoke, she noticed a beat too late how close Grayson and Belle were standing. She became even more nervous.Belle's stare hardened, and she shoved Grayson away before rushing outside. "Take me

    Belle chuckled and teased, "How old are you? Why are you getting jealous over a kid? This is so petty of you."Grayson asked her, "Do you think Hunter's painting is nicer or mine?""Yours, obviously! Hunter's painting is beautiful, but obviously, your brushstrokes are more experienced! Yours is the work of a professional.""Whose do you like more?""Yours."Belle wrapped her arms around Grayson's neck and tiptoed to look into his eyes. "I like you."Grayson wanted to stay calm, but he couldn't do it.His wife had just confessed to him. What else could he do?He couldn't hold his smile back and held her waist with one arm, pulling her close enough to kiss her."Don't praise other guys in front of me ever again, okay? Not a word!"Belle chuckled. "You're so petty.""Did you hear me?" he said. "Yes, I did. I'll never praise another man in front of you again. You're the only man I'll compliment."Grayson said fiercely, "You can't compliment them behind my back either!""Oh,

    Belle got nervous at how serious he was being and tried to soften the atmosphere. "If I really was the sun, you'd be burnt to a crisp by now. Anyway, I'm starving now. Let's go eat."Grayson stared at her. He wanted to ask if she could stay with him even after their time was up. He wanted a proper answer from her. However, he was worried that he wouldn't like her answer.He exhaled slowly and ruffled her hair lovingly. "Let's go."Once they reached downstairs, Grayson took the dinner he had prepared long ago out of the insulated lunch boxes he kept it in. They started eating together.While they ate, Belle suddenly thought about the missing kids and asked Grayson, "Have you heard about the missing cases in Maltford?""Yes.""Are the rumors real?""Some are real, and some aren't. The news about the kids going missing is real."Belle frowned. "A child is a family's greatest treasure. If they lose their kid, the family is done for.

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! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless.

    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. I'm an only child, and

    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
