Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 322 The Softness Of The Shell

"Child, come here. Sophia absorbed his despondent expression, her face wearing a mask of pain and heartache. This was the only grandson whom she could be proud of, even though there were times when he messed up. He was no saint, but to err is human! Although he had his own share of indiscretions, it still showed how much he valued his feelings and loyalty. He was worthy of being trusted by a woman for the rest of his life."

The key was that this woman must have a good eye to recognize his merits.

"She believed that Belle could be the one, and she also believed that her grandson was a good man who valued feelings and righteousness."

"Obediently, Calvin walked over and crouched down in front of her."

"Calvin, my good child, Your current state is giving me pain in the heart. Believe me, though Belle has already left this place, she would not be able to leave this earth. Now that the consumer media is so advanced, even if you can't see her, she will definitely see you from wherever she is. You have to bring out the manliness in you and step up your game in your career. Let her see your excellence. Use your abilities to convince her. Then, she would be willing to accept you and come back to you. From now on, don't sink into such a miserable state. Instead, you have to cheer up and make Harvey Group prosperous. Lead it to a better future, understand? She stroked his thin face and said pitifully, her words awash with encouragement and anticipation."

"Calvin looked out of the window, his gaze distant. Outside the window, the orange blossom tree had bloomed, painting an extremely dazzling and beautiful view. It was only now that he realized that winter was about to end, and spring was here to replace it."

A brilliant spring full of flowers was about to arrive.

"This seemed to infuse him with a glimmer of hope. Never a slow-witted person, he understood his grandmother's meaning."

"He slowly stood up, bowed to Sophia and Hudson, and then walked out."

"Back to the second floor of Fragrance Garden, in their bedroom, he held onto the pillow and fell asleep until the next morning. Finally, he could sleep peacefully."

"The next day, he returned to the Harvey Group office to work."

"After the New Year, Tristan's fall had caused Sadiva to quickly take the throne and was appointed the new mayor of A City."

"Through the preliminary promotion by Calvin, the number of tourists visiting Green Mountain Lake not only had not decreased, but instead had increased day by day. There was an important reason for this. It was that the love story of the young talent in A city, Calvin, had happened here, and it captured a lot of people's interest."

"At first, Calvin developed a few special tourism projects near Green Mountain Lake, and then re-developed the area around Green Mountain Lake. As a result, Green Mountain Lake retained its original charm and was also equipped with some stylish additions, making a name everywhere."

"Then, in the way of the Harvey Group, he proposed an application to preserve the natural environment. After that, he set off the whole of Green Mountain Lake's Camphor Tree Villa for a project and catapulted it into the market."

"In this way, the development of Green Mountain Lake brought huge commercial gains to the company. Soon, the Green Mountain Lake government once again applied to the municipal government to designate A City as its international tourism area. Sadiva, who had already heard about the story of the Green Mountain Lake, immediately set up the Cooperation Committee of the Border Town and the proposal was passed with a majority vote."

"In this way, the Green Mountain Lake transformed from a garbage dumping site to a tourism area under the protection of the local government. Soon, another subway going through it would be built. Overnight, the property value of the Green Mountain Lake rose sharply."

"As for Camphor Villa near Green Mountain Lake, it attracted the attention of many investors because of its unique charm."

"Calvin invested a handsome amount of money to create this one-of-a-kind Camphor Tree Villa. Their unique geographical locations and breathtaking cultural scenery made Camphor Villa a gathering place for VIPs, including banking families, local and abroad. In addition, the house prices Calvin had proposed were reasonable."

The Sunlight Building was an investment portfolio where the citizens were waiting overnight in lines looking for their chance to secure a property for themselves. It was a spectacular sight. Calvin wasn't satisfied with only expanding the property sector.

"In the Green Mountain Motor City, the largest car factory in A Clty, after Belle had hired Jersey to serve as the general adviser, he also brought with him his rich experience in automobiles and management skills."

"Soon, the Castle Peak Auto City's international presence was established."

Calvin had invested almost all of his energy into his work. He barely talked or laughed ever since the day of Belle's departure. His aloofness was growing.

"He promoted Aron to be the vice president of the company and became his right-hand man. He also restructured all the different sectors in the company and made great efforts to hire young talents. For a time, the Harvey Group fared well and its business flourished."

Both the properties and the company quickly expanded from the original tens of thousands of staff to close to hundreds of thousands at that moment.

"Not only did it speed up the development of the country by opening up more factories and branches, it even managed to expand into various countries. It crossed many milestones, and went international and global, all within a single year."

"Not only had he made into the top three on the global wealth list, but he had also overtaken the Atkinson Corp. His success had also been gradually exalted to a myth, a myth that no one could dispel." "However, the thing that remained mysterious through all of this was his private life."

"For such a handsome, noble and rich businessman, many women would imagine themselves dating him and become his dream lover. However, at this time, not only did he keep women at bay, there weren't any rumors of romantic affairs revolving around him. This left many women who wanted to get close to him feel resentful. More people whispered that he might be secretly sick in his mind, or that his sexual orientation had changed."

"There had always been only one man following him, and that was the expressionless Aron. Almost no woman had ever appeared by his side."

"Calvin was just as dashing, handsome, and charming as he had been in the past. He didn't care about the comments and remained calm in the face of criticism and slander."

"His words and actions were steady and cold. Now, he would never blow up as easily. However, if he did, something big would almost always happen. This side of Calvin gave his subordinates the chills. Therefore, they were all dedicated to their work, since everything was dictated by their achievements."

"Mr. Harvey, Castle Peak Auto City is steadily developing, and the supply couldn't keep up with the demand. What we lack now is a new model that could truly shock the world. This is a real headache. Even the group of high-caliber students we recently recruited were still not enough. Some of the designs look good, but they performed average in the market. The manager of the Castle Peak Auto City, Marquis, was standing respectfully in front of Calvin's desk, voicing very cautious suggestions."

"Ever since the truth behind Ethan's case had been revealed, Calvin found out that the engine of the Pranica had been sabotaged by the people sent by Calvin, who had been bribed by Lexie. He immediately became furious and drove Calvin away. He personally appointed the young and promising aristocratic student, Marquis Grint, as the manager of Castle Peak Auto City."

"Surely enough, Marquis was indeed talented. In just a few months after he had taken the position, he managed the Castle Peak Auto City very well."

"Calvin's handsome brows furrowed, his face expressionless."

"Holding his right hand so tightly under his serious expression, he slowly loosened it, and a delicate shell appeared in his palm."

"The shell had a car model painted on its surface with black paint. As Calvin stared at the shell in the center of his palm, a glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. A bright arc flitted across the corners of his mouth."

"That day, he had held the shell with his blood still flowing. In order to keep this shell, he'd fought with Rhys and finally obtained a thing that belonged to her, the only thing that belonged to her."

She had never given him any of her things. Just thinking about it was enough to send knives piercing at his heart. He could only imagine just how much she had rejected him in her heart.

"If it weren't for Ethan's death, she wouldn't have returned to Harvey Group, nor would she have returned to Harvey Manor. This was evident from her final departure."

"The colourful shell in his palm was warm, and the smooth lines on the shells were getting clearer and clearer. It seemed that there was warm liquid almost flooding his eyes, staring at the shells as his vision became gradually cloudier."

"He carried this shell with him all the time, until the corners of the shells were worn down by his hands. He looked at the shells, his eyes flashing with painful light."

"Marquis had been standing nervously in front of the office, waiting for Calvin's reply. However, after waiting for a long time, his response was none too forthcoming. Marquis raised his head, bewildered." The scene in front of him stunned him.

"The formidable man in front of him, the unwavering President Richard, staring at a shell in his hand, lost in thought. Were those tears in his eyes?"

This shell was obviously a woman's item at first glance. Was Mr. Harvey thinking of his lover?

"Ever since he entered the company, he had heard people mention his private life one after another, and he also knew the names of Belle and Lexie."

"Now there was a rumor that Mr. Harvey wouldn't come close to a woman and had lost interest in one. Some people even defamed him. They gossiped about him behind his back, but no one could tell what the truth was."

"Marquis stood there in a daze as well. Staring at Calvin's face, he made a guess. He only came back to his senses when Calvin's soft coughs resounded. When his eyes met Calvin's severely dissatisfied gaze, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He chastised himself in his heart. Since when had he become such a gossiper?"

"You can leave first. I already know about this matter, he said in a concise and short tone, waving at him."

"Marquis quickly took his leave as if he had received a decree. He was truly worried that if he stayed for one more minute, he might anger that almighty man and end up in serious trouble."

"One must know that to peek into the superior's privacy, the consequences would not be a light one. Currently, the Harvey Group was an ideal corporation for most young talents to apply for. He couldn't afford to lose such a coveted position."

"After Marquis left, Calvin immediately turned on the computer and drew the picture of the shell in his hand in its original shape. Then, he carefully reasoned that the model was something new, which suited a woman's tastes, but it wasn't all that elegant. After all, it was her unfinished work. If he improved upon it, it would become a hit in the women's goods market."

"While there were lots of men's cars in the market, there were very few cars which designs would tailor to women."
