Chapter 3 You're Not Worth Being My Wife

The nurse was busy at the workstation. She was annoyed by the questions.

But when she looked up and saw Grayson, her expression immediately changed.

What a handsome man!

The nurse blushed and said, "Yes, we have a patient by the name of Belle Walters. Are you looking for her? What's her relationship with you?"

Grayson frowned, which made the nurse think that she had asked too many questions.

She hastily explained, "Please don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't prying. Ms. Walters just said that she doesn't have any family or friends here.

"She said she had a fiancé, but he had an affair with a married woman. He was beaten to death by the husband, who caught them in the act.

"That's why she signed the forms herself."

Grayson's expression darkened.

"I had an affair with a married woman and was beaten to death by the husband?" he thought incredulously.

Fuming, Grayson turned around and left. He refused to bother about Belle anymore.

…

After the surgery and getting an IV drip, Belle left the hospital against the doctor's advice.

It was true that she was gravely injured. But she had never cared even when she suffered worse injuries in the mountains.

She wasn't a pampered woman who'd overreact to things.

When Belle arrived home, she saw Grayson on the phone.

Seeing that Belle had returned, Grayson frowned. There was a sour look on his face.

He said gently over the phone, "Don't think about it too much. Listen to the doctor and rest well. I'll call you later."

Belle didn't have to ask. She knew that he was talking to June.

As soon as Grayson hung up, his expression immediately changed. His tone was so cold that he sounded like a different person.

"Why did you hit June today?"

Belle was upset. She was going to tell him to keep an eye on his woman so that she wouldn't bother her. But he accused Belle first.

"Why? What do you think? Because she deserved it!"

"You … She's an actress, and her face is her greatest asset. How can she film with a face like that?"

"What does that have to do with me? She needs her face to survive, but she didn't protect it.

"Instead, she ran up to me on purpose and asked for a beating. She deserved it!"

Grayson pursed his lips. He was furious.

"I thought you were just a little plain, but I never thought you'd be so rude! You don't deserve to be Mrs. Page!"

"Hah!" Belle was so pissed that she laughed.

"Old man, have you misunderstood something? Do you think I want to be Mrs. Page? I wish I could call off the marriage!

"Don't believe me? Come on, try doing it!"

Grayson said, "Do you think I would get engaged to you if it weren't for my grandfather?"

Belle sneered. "Do you think I would get engaged to you if it weren't for MY grandfather?"

The room suddenly fell silent.

They were both forced to get married. Neither of them liked each other.

"How can you be so bold after hitting someone in public?" Grayson was furious.

Belle refused to back down.

"And she isn't at fault for insulting me in public, is that it? If there's nothing wrong with insulting people, how about I curse your family?"

"You … You're impossible to reason with! I've never seen a woman as immature as you!"

"I've never seen a man as shameless as you, either. You're so old, but you still want to marry someone so young. How shameless!

"Also, you like June, don't you? Then tell Mr. Page Senior that you want to call off the marriage and marry her!

"You're so useless that you can't even marry the girl you like!"

"Shameless?" Grayson thought. "Useless? Me?"

Grayson roared, "Belle Walters!"

Belle shivered. This man was quite terrifying when he got angry.

"Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf."

Grayson's breaths were uneven as he stared at Belle with a dark expression.

A long while later, he spoke up. "You'd better stay away from June. Don't mess with her anymore!"

With that, he went upstairs to the study and slammed the door shut.

Fuming, Belle shouted up the stairs, "Who's messing with who now? You'd better tell June that if she dares mess with me again, I'll hit her a second time!"

When Belle had finished speaking, she scowled and went to the guest room. She slammed the door even louder than Grayson had.
