    Chapter 290 Merciless Woman


    Grayson scoffed. “You say this all the time, but have you ever kept your word? Someone died because


    of you this time!”


    Danie’s body trembled. “I’ll follow your orders and ask for your permission next time, Grandpa.


    Please save me!”


    Grayson grew irritated seeing Danie constantly cry. He sighed and told Neil, “Let this matter go and


    act like you haven’t heard anything.”


    Neil clenched his fists but remainedposed. “Alright, I got it. I’ll be back to help with the


    birthday party. Goodbye!”


    After N


    left, Grayson made calls to have Danie’s bodyguards interrogated and punished. His


    aim was to ensure Danie’s safety.


    Paige bumped into Alex in his car as she left work in the evening.


    Alex had been waiting for Paige in his car for a while. When he spotted her, he hurriedly exited the


    vehicle and called out, “Paige!”


    Ignoring him, Paige continued toward the parking lot.


    Alex caught up to her and walked beside her. “Are you still upset about the other day, Paige?”


    Paige nced at him. “Speak if you have something to say.


    “I’m here to apologize,” Alex said.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “I don’t need your apology. It’s too costly, and I can’t afford it,” Paige replied coldly.


    Seeing Paige walking away, Alex grabbed her arm. “I want to admit my mistake. I promise not to


    do it again, alright?”


    Paige reluctantly stopped. She scoffed and looked at Alex. “Ever heard the saying, ‘Once bitten, twice


    shy‘, my dear? If you can betray my trust once for your best friend, you’ll do it again without my


    consent! If your best friend is so important, why aren’t you spending time with him right now?“”


    Alex said, “If I can’t even defend my best friend, how am I supposed to treat my woman well in the


    future?”


    Paige said, “How you treat your wife in the future is none of my business.”


    “Have you forgotten that I told you I’d take responsibility for you?” Alex asked.


    Paige chuckled. “Take responsibility? You’re from the top three most powerful families in Angelbay, and


    I’m just a nobody! No one would believe you’d marry someone like me.

    “Also, don’t act as if I belong to you exclusively! I have plenty of male friends. Mr. Pierce, please


    release me. Don’t prevent me from going on a date, alright?”


    Alex’s heart sank, and his expression changed. “Who are you going to date?”


    Paige replied, “Younger, more attractive guys!”


    “No!” Alex objected firmly.


    Paige red at him. “Who do you think you are to decide for me?”


    “No, I can’t agree to that!”


    Alex was well aware he had fallen in love with this bickering woman. How could he tolerate her dating


    other men?


    Paige took a deep breath. “Are you really not letting go of me?”


    Alex replied, “Yes! Unless you agree- Aaargh!”


    Before Alex could finish his sentence, Paige drove her knee into his groin.


    Alex involuntarily released his grip and fell to his knees in pain.


    Ignoring Alex’s calls, Paige made a quick escape.


    ‘Paige! You merciless woman!” Alex looked at Paige with a frown.


    “Thank you for yourpliment!”


    Alex said, “Fuck!”


    Paige headed directly to Bayview Vi after getting into her car, She vented her frustration about Alex


    during the drive until she reached her destination.


    Upon reaching Caroline’s house, she took a moment to massage her sore arm, still feeling Alex’s tight


    grip. She then cursed again before stepping inside the house.
