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
Two hours had passed. Belle turned to Dorothy and said, "His life is safe for now. But it is up to chance whether he will wake up again. My condolences, Mrs. Sylvester Senior."Dorothy's eyes were red as she stared at the bedridden Richter, who remained unconscious.Even if Richter was not her favorite grandchild, he was still her kin. It was truly a tragedy that he had become a vegetable.Dorothy wiped away her tears. "This is his fate now. It was already a miracle that he survived."After that, she remembered something and turned toward Ethel. "Bring Jordyn to me."Jordyn soon came into the room, still sobbing uncontrollably. She took a look at Richter and then turned to Dorothy. "Grandma, Richter, he … he …"Dorothy was losing it. "It's all your fault that he might stay a vegetable for the rest of his life!""Huh?" Jordyn lost her remaining strength and fell to the floor crying. "How … How did this happen? I only put in some laxatives. How did it turn out like this?"Belle
Belle told Grayson what had happened."I went to the Sylvesters for dinner tonight, and Jordyn tried to serve me laxatives. But the laxatives turned out to be a lethal poison!"From what I could tell, Jordyn simply disliked me. She didn't bear any hatred toward me. The thing was, Jordyn was very close with June, and they hung out daily."Grayson was shocked. "You were poisoned? When did this happen? Are you hurt?"Belle, too, was slightly stunned. She did not expect him to be caring for her safety first and foremost instead of June after she told her story.That was quite a surprise for her. She was slightly cheered by this."No, the poison was drunk by Jordyn's brother, Richter. His life is not in danger at the moment, but he has been left unconscious as a vegetable. Luckily, the Sylvesters' home had materials for a makeshift antidote, or he would have surely perished."Grayson was speechless.If Richter had not taken the fall, the person being a vegetable now would have bee
