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

    In the following days, Belle worked diligently at her rental house in the urban village. In addition to the froston pill, she had also managed to develop affordable medical creams to be sold under the Sylvester name.As for Grayson, aside from his daily work, he had spent most of his time investigating the poisoning attempt on Belle.On that particular evening, when Belle returned home, she was taken aback to find Grayson sitting on the first-floor sofa. It was a rare sight, as he usually confined himself to his study or their bedroom whenever she came home.She didn't say much about it. She changed out of her shoes, took off her jacket, and hung it in the closet before heading upstairs.Grayson, however, called out to her. "Come here."Belle was intrigued and came to a halt. "What's up?"Grayson looked grim. "I want to talk to you about the poisoning."She curiously asked, "You found anything?"She walked over to sit on the sofa opposite him. Sixteen immediately ran over t

    Both Belle and Grayson were jolted awake at the same time.Grayson took the lead and went outside, with Belle following behind after she put on a jacket.On the first floor, the unmistakable sounds of June sobbing reached their ears.Sam was present as well. He nervously looked at Grayson and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Page. Ms. June wouldn't listen to us and insisted on speaking with you directly. We were afraid of hurting her. She got into a taxi when we weren't paying attention, and so I—"Grayson was understandably pissed off. "Bring her in!"June's behavior struck him as audacious and unreasonable. Who in their right mind would be sobbing outside someone's house in the middle of the night?Soon, June entered the room, her tears still flowing despite her drenched appearance."Grayson, you can't just send me away! I don't want to go. I want to stay by your side! I don't want us to be separated!" June continued her cries.Grayson's face turned red from anger."I'm just sending

    Grayson's expression had turned for the absolute worst. His furrowed eyebrows appeared to smolder with anger, and his chest heaved with every breath. He stared June in the face and spelled out his frustrations."I am undeniably related to your father's death, but I am not the one who killed him. If you wanted to use his death as an excuse, you should have asked your mother about how he died. Sam, take her away! Make sure I won't see her again for the rest of my life!"Grayson was genuinely livid, with veins pulsating on his forehead and clenched fists. His countenance was nothing short of terrifying.When Lionel met his demise years ago, June and Ingrid were left devastated. Grayson felt sorry for the pair and took great care of them.He treated June like his sister, giving her the absolute best for everything in life. He didn't expect that she would grow up to be so unreasonable.June was terrified. "Grayson—""Begone!"Sam hadn't seen Grayson lose his temper in a long while.

    Once Belle had finished bandaging Grayson's wounds, she got up and made her way to the kitchen. She returned with two cans of cold beer.She tossed him a can before opening one for herself.As she was about to take a sip, Grayson immediately snatched her can of beer away and admonished her. "You shouldn't drink this!"Belle glared at him. "Hey now, I was just trying to keep you company.""Even so, you shouldn't be drinking this," explained Grayson as he drank half of his can in one go."Why not?" asked Belle."You're bad with alcohol."She was left speechless.Recognizing that Grayson was injured because of her actions, Belle opted not to argue further and exchanged her beer for a can of cola. She sat down beside Grayson and engaged in small talk."You never really liked June in the first place, did you?"Grayson didn't deny her observation and took a drag from his cigarette.Belle pressed on with her questions."You could have told me about it. I misunderstood for so long,

    Belle looked at Grayson through narrowed eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"Grayson also looked surprised. He looked at Xenia with a frown and said, "What are you doing here?"Xenia looked even more surprised than they were. "Didn't Alice tell you she had urgent business overseas, so she sent me to teach Belle? I thought she informed you."Grayson checked his phone. There was indeed a missed call and a text from Alice. The text said, "Sorry Grayson. I have to go overseas on some urgent business. I'm so sorry I can't give Ms. Walters her dance class. "But I've already told Xenia to help me out. She's free lately. Don't worry, she's very good too. Ms. Walters will definitely put on a good show at Mr. Page Senior's birthday party!" Grayson frowned. Alice Sandler was his childhood friend. Although they didn't keep in touch frequently, they were still friends.She was a professional dancer and the best dancer in the city. That was why he had asked her to teach Belle dancing. He h

    Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" 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.

    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.

    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
