More than an hour later, Meredith knocked on the guest room door."Mr. Page, I've bathed Mrs. Page."Grayson had already put on a fresh change of casual clothes. Walking out, he said, "Thanks."Meredith hastily said, "It's my duty. Mrs. Page is resting now. I've prepared some hangover soup and put it in the thermal pot. Mrs. Page can drink it as soon as she wakes up.""Alright."After Meredith left, Grayson returned to the master bedroom.Meredith had changed the bedding and cleaned up the bathroom. The stench was gone from the room, and only the usual smell of air freshener remained.Grayson felt much better.He wasn't a clean freak, but he liked to be tidy. He couldn't stand odd smells or dirty things.Seeing Belle sleeping on the bed, Grayson frowned. It was his turn on the bed tonight.He would have let her have the bed if he were in a good mood. But not today.He was very upset today. He was already being merciful to her by not forcing her to sleep in the bathroom.Gra
Belle was so pissed that she wanted to beat him up, but she couldn't. So, she could only shout angrily, "You're shameless! You took advantage of me! You villain!"Grayson gritted his teeth. "What did I do?""You … You … You're a pervert!"Grayson was exasperated. "I'm a pervert? I'm shameless? When did I take advantage of you? And I'm a villain too? Who was the one who got drunk first and tried to take advantage of me yesterday?"Thinking of what had happened in the car, Grayson was sure that she was taking advantage of him.Also, there was that time when they fell on the bed. She had been lying on his chest as she touched him with her eyes closed. She even touched his throat and lips. Wasn't she harassing him?"I got drunk and took advantage of you?"Before Grayson could say anything, Belle rambled on, saying, "It's not like I've never gotten drunk before. I can handle alcohol well, so I won't ever go crazy when I'm drunk. "And I definitely wouldn't take advantage of you! I d
Belle still hadn't understood anything when Grayson came downstairs. He was wearing a dark tailor-made suit. He looked handsome and sprightly.There wasn't a trace of emotion in his well-defined features. He looked very much like a king.When Grayson saw Belle, he frowned. He was still mad. Then, he spotted June. His frown deepened. He was annoyed.He didn't want to meet either of these women, for he would get mad at them on sight. But they just had to appear at the same time.He was both mad and annoyed. His mood was quite foul."Grayson!" But June was elated. When she saw Grayson, she quickly changed her expression. She ran over to him happily, then showed herself off."Grayson, look at my face. My skin is in extremely good condition! Touch and see!"With that, June tried to take Grayson's hand to guide it to her face. Shoving her aside, Grayson spoke in a cold voice, "Who let you in?"His tone was fierce. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.But June was quite shameles
In other words, Grayson was the one who bought the froston pill from Dorothy for 50 million dollars.Upon realizing that Grayson was that idiot who bought the froston pill, Belle scoffed inwardly. This world truly was unpredictable.Her nominal husband had spent 50 million to buy a pill she had developed, then gave it to the homewrecker.Belle was speechless at this revelation. Putting down her spoon, she grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth. She left without saying anything.June thought that Belle had left in jealousy. She was elated.Grayson frowned as he watched Belle leave. Then, he turned to look at June. "You can delay your overseas trip by a few days, but stop causing trouble. Don't even think about messing with Belle!"June was glad to hear that. She immediately swore, "Don't worry, Grayson. I won't cause trouble for you."With that, she asked him, "Grayson, did you buy the froston pill from the Sylvester family?"Grayson didn't say anything. He simply looked at he
When Belle saw June, she narrowed her eyes. She ignored June.She strode right toward Sylvester Residence. June furiously blocked her path."You're here to buy the froston pill too, aren't you, Belle? You should just go home. With me around, Mrs. Sylvester Senior would never sell it to you!"Noticing June's arrogance, Belle asked out of curiosity. "Do you know Mrs. Sylvester Senior?"June replied, "Of course! We're both from wealthy families, so of course, we know each other! Also, the froston pill is trending right now because of me."Mrs. Sylvester Senior is extremely grateful to me right now. So, if I stop her from selling it to you, you won't ever get your hands on it!"Belle was speechless. She wondered how confident June was that she could be this delusional.Belle was the one who developed the froston pill. Why would she need to buy it?Belle had never met anyone as stupid as June. June was beyond saving!If June weren't so evil, Belle might even like her. She would be
Belle remained unaware that June and Ingrid were already scheming against her, and she spent a day with the Sylvesters concerning the froston pill.With the current explosive rise in popularity of the froston pill, Belle would not be far from becoming the richest woman in the world.The next evening, she bid goodbye to Dorothy and went home in good spirits.When she arrived home, Grayson had already showered and was lying on the bed. He was reading a financial magazine. However, he seemed especially distracted today.The more he warned himself that he shouldn't have weird thoughts about Belle's body, the more he thought about her. Throughout the entire day, his mind was filled with the luscious image of Belle lying on the bed in her negligee.He even went so far as to take a cold shower during his lunch break.All in all, Belle stayed in his thoughts for the entire day. He had lost his usual composure as a prestigious CEO and seemed more like a lustful pervert.Seeing that Bel
Grayson's state of being triggered continued. He even began picking fights with Belle while they were in bed later that day. "Put your hands under the blanket!""Stop exposing your feet!""Cover up your neck!""Don't wink at me. I won't fall for that!""Do you have no shame? Can you be more reserved as a woman? Why are you winking at me in the middle of the night?"Belle eventually snapped from the constant complaints as she sat back up on the bed. "Grayson Page! Have you had enough yet?"Her good mood had now been completely ruined at this point. "Are you planning to complain about everything I do tonight instead of sleeping? Whether I want to use the blanket or not is none of your business."If you have something to say, just man up and say it directly! Stop picking all these silly little fights with me just because you're in a bad mood today."Grayson's expression turned grim. "Are you finished with your tricks? How many times do I have to tell you this so that you'l
Jordyn explained herself with an apologetic smile. "I had been distrustful of your presence and treated you rudely. "Over time, I realized you are actually a good person. I hope you don't mind my past actions too much. From now on, I hope we can be on good terms."Dorothy was relieved to hear her words. "Jordyn sure has matured."Belle then thanked Jordyn and accepted the bowl of soup.Jordyn urged Belle. "Try it and see if you like it. It's Grandma's favorite mushroom soup. Our old cook prepared it."Dorothy agreeingly chimed in, "This soup tastes amazing, and it helps strengthen your body too. Belle, have a try."Belle nodded and took a spoonful. Right as she moved the spoon to her lips, she paused and stared at Jordyn with suspicion.Jordyn and her guilty conscience were completely on high alert after being stared at by Belle. "What's wrong?"Dorothy was puzzled as well. "What's wrong? Do you not like the smell?"There was something in the soup.Belle could tell that the
