Semua Bab Powerless Against His Feisty Wife: Bab 1221 - Bab 1230

Yelena flinched in fear at Belle's sudden reaction. Belle lunged at Yelena, grabbing her by the collar. "You drugged me?"Yelena, visibly shaken, stammered, "What… What are you talking about?""Don't play innocent with me! I can tell—" shouted Belle right before she fainted.Yelena patted her chest to calm her racing heart before kicking Belle's body twice. "Fucking bitch! She almost hit me! I was so scared!"Mikkel was both surprised and panicking as he rushed over to her. "Are you alright?"Yelena shook her head and exclaimed, "She scared me! She very much nearly killed me when she grabbed my collar! Why were you just standing there doing nothing? Is this how you're supposed to protect me? By standing idly by like a mannequin?"Mikkel's lips trembled. "Sorry, it was too sudden… And I was confused."Yelena snorted at him and turned away.Mikkel hurriedly continued, "Should I get the doctor?""I'm fine! It's not like she actually hurt me or anything. This fucking bitch! If s

"Send someone to look for Hunter. His lineage thrives underground, so I doubt he's truly dead. Dead or alive, I need him here! I want him brought before me if he's alive, or his remains if he's not! And one more thing, figure out a way to extract Hunter's father from the clinic.""Huh?" Mikkel was taken aback. Capturing Benjamin hadn't been part of their initial plan when they went after Hunter. "What's the point? The man's practically on death's doorstep already, and he's still holed up in Belle's clinic. "Simon and Grayson's security detail are keeping a tight watch. It'd be next to impossible for us to infiltrate, let alone sneak him out."Yelena's irritation flared. "Use your brain and devise a scheme to extract him if he's alive!""Why the sudden interest in Hunter and his father anyway? We've already found the treasure."Yelena shot Mikkel a disdainful glance and pursed her lips. "Nobody designs traps like the Sanders family. We'll need another plan if Hunter's truly gone."

Grayson had already arrived in front of the equipment room. He hid in a nearby corner and thought about getting through the heavily guarded entrance.Forcefully breaking inside would sound the alarm and alert Mikkel and his men.Grayson didn't want to take such a risk with Belle still in their hands.As he was still coming up with a plan, a maintenance worker in orange overalls just so happened to pass by.The maintenance worker was a man in his 40s, and Grayson could tell that he was also Quelorian.The man was surprised when he noticed Grayson in the corner. "What… You scared me! Why are you just standing here in a corner? Shouldn't you be on guard duty or something? Are you alright?"Grayson narrowed his eyes with intrigue as he carefully examined the man and their surroundings, confirming that they were alone."How about a smoke?" replied Grayson as he handed one to the maintenance worker.The man was somewhat terrified, but he quickly calmed down after realizing he was tal

Yelena said, "It's extremely rude to show up in someone's home uninvited, my friend."Grayson's expression sank as he realized that he had been fooled.He removed his mask since there was no need to keep the disguise on.Mikkel smiled at Grayson. "It's good to see you, Mr. Page. Here I was, wondering why my security guards hadn't been doing their job. As it turns out, the intruder was none other than Grayson Page himself. I guess my men weren't able to keep up with you."Grayson ignored him and turned to look at the container.Belle was soaked in the container with her eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.Grayson was starting to get emotional as he stepped toward Belle.Yelena immediately fired a shot and warned, "I advise you to stand still, Mr. Page— Ah!"Yelena's wrist was suddenly struck with a heavy force, causing her to scream as the gun slipped from her grasp and clattered to the ground.The guards inside the room swiftly drew their guns while the remaining researchers i

Yelena began to panic, offering frantic excuses. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm just a secretary! The boss is the guy out there! You can ask Dr. Sandford if you don't believe me!"Belle rolled her eyes and turned to Grayson. "I was suspicious from the moment I met them today. The boss already knows who I am. He would have likely chosen to speak with me alone, at most assigning two bodyguards. But when I entered, I encountered this secretary as well."Think about it—not even the boss' lover would typically be permitted to listen in on such critical discussions, let alone a mere secretary. Moreover, she showed no surprise when Mikkel attempted to prove his credibility as the boss by displaying his official seal. It's as if she's accustomed to it all.""Why would she be allowed near such an important item? It doesn't align with the boss' usual caution. I played along to uncover their true intentions, planting trackers on both of them before feigning unconsciousness."Yelena
