Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 431 Malevolence And Murder

"Miss Yates, what do you mean? What she said was exactly what he had been worrying about for the past few days. Alarmed, he couldn't help but to press further for details."

"Alas, Mr. Harvey, you are smart and sharp. Don't tell me that you have no idea what I'm talking about. Zoella flashed him a smile, which sent a chill down his spine."

Where did you get this information from? Calvin frowned and asked with a deeper voice.

"A slow smile worked its way across her face and into her eyes. """Mr. Harvey, it's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. I have done my part. There must be a reason why I'm aware of this. Mr. Harvey, it's best if you don't probe any further. "

"Once she was done, her gaze fleeted across his face and a wry smile briefly touched her lips. She gave him a meaningful look and was about to leave."

"Mr. Harvey, I'll take my leave for now. Her lips held a faint smile and her eyes twinkled. She spun around, ready to leave."

"Miss Yates, wait a moment. Calvin recovered from the shock and called out to her. "

"Miss Yates, could you please tell me the identity of the person who wishes to harm me? His expression was grave and he studied her with sharp scrutiny."

"To his annoyance, Zoella glanced at him with a mischievous smile, looking very dazzling and captivating."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Harvey. I'm afraid I have to keep it a secret. She flashed him a quick smile and left.

"Calvin remained rooted to the spot. The scent of her perfume enveloped him. It was an exquisite scent, yet something seemed fishy. His brows knitted in a frown."

Did someone wish to harm him?

Who?

Could he believe her?

Who was he? He was the Young Master of the Harvey Family. Would he be afraid of something as silly as this?

There was a fierce determination in his eyes and a sneer spread across his face. There was no way he was going to believe something told by a random woman.

He took a step forward and headed towards the underground parking lot.

He did not notice Zoella who was standing silently in the shadows. A dark figure approached her.

How was it? Did you get his fingerprints? Zoella asked in a low voice. "Miss Yates, I have retrieved it from the doorknob, Octavia replied softly." Good job. Zoella chuckled. "Have you retrieved Belle's fingerprints as well?" "Of course, Liya has already given it to me, Octavia answered in a soft voice."

Wonderful. She looked up. A large grin split across her face. There was a gleam in her eyes and her smile was smug.

"Destiny did not bring her happiness or love. Her father died a miserable death. She must get her revenge, no matter what."

Calvin was in a hurry as he walked towards his car. He couldn't help thinking about Belle. The thought of her made his face light up with joy.

"It was getting late. He should give her a call. He recalled the night when she waited patiently for his return under the lemon tree and his heart was filled with warmth. Without further ado, he took out his phone and called her."

"Calvin, where are you? Belle's soft and sweet voice rang. His gaze softened and a smile touched the corners of his mouth when he heard her voice."

"Belle, I... Before he could speak, a glaring light blinded him and he caught a glimpse of a SUV coming at him at full speed. There was no license number on the vehicle.

"Sh*t. Calvin's blood ran cold but he came to his senses quickly and put away his phone. He had once trained among the special forces. In the nick of time, he acted swiftly and jumped onto a car parked by the side and landed on the hood. The SUV roared past and pulled away. It was a near miss!"

Darn it! Stop! Calvin bellowed in fury. How dare someone try to hit him! It was ridiculous! He broke out in a cold sweat as fear gripped his heart.

"If he had reacted one second later, he would have already been dead, in a pool of blood. "

He no longer cared about his safety and chased after the SUV after jumping down from the car.

"However, once he had run out of the parking lot, the SUV was no longer in sight.

"D*mn it. Anger welled up in his chest as he stood there, clenching his fists."

"

"Zoella had just warned him to be cautious. Whoever it was, the other party had already made their move.

Great. It Looked like it was time for a battle of wits.

"Wait, it had started long ago.

"

"Hey, Calvin... Calvin, what happened? Belle was talking to Calvin just a moment ago on the phone. She had barely finished her sentence when she heard the sound of a car roaring past. She then heard Calvin roaring in fury and fear gripped at her throat. "

What was wrong? What happened to him?

"Cold fear spiraled through her mind when he did not answer her, even though she cried out his name."

She couldn't help thinking about the bizarre events that had occurred in the past few days and her heart pounded rapidly.

She had no choice but to end the call. She then dialed his number again and he answered the call immediately. "Belle..." His gentle voice rang. He seemed to be pretty calm.

"Before he could finish his sentence, Belle interrupted him and demanded, """Calvin, what happened just now?""""

"Nothing, Calvin replied as he assumed an air of nonchalance."

"But, I... What he said failed to calm her down. She was sure that she had heard a car roaming past a moment ago. She was about to ask further when Calvin said, """Belle, I will be home soon. Get ready for dinner. I'm anticipating the meal you have prepared for me.'

IIIIII

"Okay, I'll wait for you, she answered gingerly. Still feeling uneasy, she ended the call."

"She walked out of the living room and came to the garden as she waited absent-mindedly for Calvin to return. Anxious, she paced back and forth until she heard the sound of an approaching car. She raised her head."

Calvin's slender figure appeared before her.

Belle heaved a sigh of relief.

"Calvin. She walked forward and examined him from head to toe, looking very anxious.

"Calvin glanced at her. For a moment, he forgot where he was. He had almost died just a few minutes ago. He was grateful beyond belief to be able to stand there before her as she looked at him anxiously. It was a blessing to be able to see her worrying about him. "

"Fear clutched at his heart with cold fingers. If he wasn't able to dodge the car just a few minutes ago, what would be the outcome?

He didn't dare to even think about it.

He dashed towards her and locked her in an embrace as he buried his head in her hair without uttering a single word.

Belle finally calmed down when he hugged her. Her heart fluttered and it went out to him.

She returned his affection and hugged him tightly as she stroked his back gently.

"Calvin, tell me, what's wrong? Her voice was soft and warm. There was a hint of concern in her tone."

"

"Calvin closed his eyes and breathed in her scent. She was the best thing in his life. He was so afraid of losing her. Back then, when the car dashed towards him, thoughts of her and Jerry raced in his mind. If he died, what would happen to them? He couldn't help wondering."

"It's okay, honey, I just miss you. After a long silence, he raised his head and caressed her silky hair as he spoke affectionately. "

Are you really okay? Belle's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, I am. Calvin smiled and nodded. He held her hand and said gently, """Honey, let's go. I'm ravenous."""

"Alright. Belle felt that something was amiss but Calvin seemed to be alright. He was not willing to spill the beans. Hence, Belle did not probe further and followed him inside. They arrived at the door." "Then, both of them spoke at the same time.'

Calvin. "Belle."

"Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they chuckled."

What do you want to say? They asked simultaneously.

It was so comical that they burst out laughing.

What perfect timing!

Go ahead. Belle stopped laughing and said quickly.

"Calvin looked at her. After a while, he shook his head. """Forget it. Let's talk about it later."""""

He then held her hand and was about to lead her into the living room.

"What do you mean? My curiosity had been piqued. Belle was indignant. How dare he leave the conversation hanging. It made her very uncomfortable. She had lots of questions for him about what happened back there. Hence, she stood there and refused to budge."

"Belle. Calvin was exasperated. He thought for a while before he pulled her into his arms and said softly, "My silly girl, don't wait outside for me in the future. Spend more time with Jerry. How can I be at ease i you wait for me every time?"""""

"His voice faltered and he sighed as he stared blankly ahead. "If you go on behaving in this manner, how can I be at ease if anything happens to me in the future. How will you live on?"" "

He was actually just being emotional and trying to advise her. It was meant to be words of comfort but Belle interpreted it differently. What he said made her blood run cold.

Her face grew pale. She pushed him away and stared at him.

"Calvin, what do you mean by this?"

She was on tenterhooks and her hairs stood on end.

How could he say something like that? He might not mean it but it still sent a chill down her spine. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she began sobbing.

"Calvin was shocked. To be exact, Belle's expression made his heart ache. He regretted saying that and stretched out his arms to hug her, attempting to give her some form of comfort. However, Belle pushed him away and broke free from the embrace. She steadied herself and bellowed. "

"Calvin, I won't allow you to say such words. Don't even think about it. I want you to stay by my side forever and pamper me with your love. I want you to bear all the responsibilities, so that my only job will be to raise the kids and I no longer have to worry about anything. Tell me, do you want to leave the burden of handling the family's business to me? Don't even think about it. I'm incapable of that. So, please, protect yourself. In short, I don't wish to hear anything like that in the future. Don't you dare say that again. You are a man. You must be responsible for me as well as Jerry. It's your duty to ensure that we live happily forever. Did you hear what I've said? I won't allow what you've said to happen. "

She cried as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was almost choked with sobs.

Calvin stared at her. His heart ached terribly and he was suddenly filled with agony.

Seeing her cry filled him with anguish. His heart went out to her.

He was filled with regret for saying what he did.

"He hugged her tightly and stroked her back gently in an attempt to comfort her. In a gentle voice, he reassured her that he was just kidding."

"For the first time in his life, he felt that his life was filled with responsibilities and it was indeed significant. Belle and Jerry had become part of his life. He must live an exciting and wonderful life.

His expression darkened when he thought of the SUV that attempted to hit him that night.

Who was it that wanted him dead?

Who asked him to go to the Sky Blue Restaurant that night?
