Belle stared at Grayson with her eyes wide and blinked. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.The last thing Grayson had said gave her a strange feeling, but the feeling faded before she could identify what it was. Besides, the look in his eyes was too gentle.Belle composed herself and looked away. Coughing softly, she said, "I've always known that you don't like Robert, so I never thought you'd help him."Grayson narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's for the bigger picture."Belle couldn't help but look at him again. A person who looked at the bigger picture always held a charm that made people look up to them.It suddenly grew quiet in the car, and Belle felt awkward for some reason. She had never felt like this when she was with Grayson before.Gulping, she looked out the window. Grayson looked at her affectionately and found something to say. "Just focus on enjoying the food and drinks tonight. Be careful of people who might want to hurt you and don't worry about anything

Belle was about to ask more questions when she heard a familiar voice call out her name."Belle!" Scott greeted her enthusiastically the moment he saw her. He was greeting guests by the entrance. Robert was beside him.When Belle saw Robert's gaze linger on her and Grayson's interlocked hands, she understood immediately. Grayson was using her to make Robert jealous.Belle pursed her lips and ignored Scott. She looked at Grayson instead. She had no words for him. He knew that there was nothing going on between Robert and her, but he just had to cause drama.He just loved to overthink. He didn't like her anyway, so Belle was really starting to suspect that he had a crush on Robert! Belle cursed him out in her thoughts before greeting Robert. She asked, "Did Patrick come?"Robert stared at her with a complicated expression. Excitement, nervousness, and panic were mixed in his gaze. He felt happy and relieved too. He was tongue-tied for a moment because he was overwhelmed with

Trent kept quiet for a few seconds before he smiled and said, "I've always been unlucky. I've been bullied since I was a kid. I've cheated death countless times, so I'll never regret a path I've chosen. The worst-case scenario is just death, isn't it? Haha, I'm not afraid!" Trent's men started yelling too. One of them said, "Exactly! We peasants are nothing compared to the Strauss family anyway. It's so easy for you to kill us, but we're not afraid. We'll help the people of Maltford get the truth even if we have to risk our lives!"Scott was so angry that his face became as red as a tomato. He shouted, "Who gave you the fucking right to represent the people of Maltford? You're just a bunch of gangsters who do nothing but bully the citizens. Why are you playing the good guys now? Just tell me what you really want and stop using the people of Maltford as an excuse."The man who spoke earlier was struck speechless, and he was furious. He wanted to retort, but a look from Trent made

Grayson didn't reply to Jake's text. He thought for a moment and said to Belle, "There's dessert over there. Help me get some."Belle looked at him in surprise. How was he still in the mood to eat at a time like that?Before Belle could ask, Yolanda scolded Grayson, "Can't you see that she's talking to us? Go get your own dessert."The other ladies laughed and teased Grayson."Goodness me, don't go poking your nose into young people's business." "Grayson only asked Belle to get him dessert because he likes her. He won't eat anything other ladies get him.""Exactly. It's a gesture of love, haha."Pursing her lips, Belle said to Yolanda with a smile, "It's fine. I'll help him get dessert. Carry on without me."Belle behaved elegantly, and she looked pretty no matter what she did. After she left, the ladies complimented Yolanda about how lucky she was.Yolanda said, "Grayson, I'm lucky to have Belle as my daughter-in-law, but I'm not the luckiest person yet."The ladies looked

Tom said calmly, "Unfortunately, Patrick is sick and can't come today."Hearing this, the crowd began to discuss the situation again."He's sick? Is it so coincidental that he fell ill on his birthday?""Exactly! Is he really sick or is he just pretending?"Someone impatiently said, "He's had a condition all along. There's no need for him to pretend. Mr. Strauss Senior, we heard that Patrick is mute and also has autism. Please tell the truth in front of everyone. Are those rumors true?""Yes, give us a straightforward answer. If it's true, then we're wrong to offend him. If it's not true, then let us meet him."Scott was irritated, and he responded, "Mr. Strauss Senior said that Patrick isn't feeling well and can't come to the party.""It doesn't matter that he can't come. Just take a video of him so that we can see for ourselves!"Many others joined in agreement, and the discussions quickly escalated."Right, a video will be enough. We want to see for ourselves if he's alrigh
