Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 550 Shocked

"Then, why don't you try and see if the media will believe you? I can ultimately order people to arrest you right now for the evil deeds you've done in the past. Would you like to have a try? Albie Williamson said lightly, smiling coldly while taking a step forward."

"In the end, Fadison only wanted to obtain some quick cash. Not to mention that he was seriously ill, he was currently alone right then. Even if what he said made sense, he still did not dare to do anything in the face of Hudson's dignified look. What was more, his daughter was the one pestering Calvin."

"Seeing that Hudson was slightly enraged and Albie Williamson, who was also dressed in his police uniform, was looking at him coldly, Fadison had long been afraid. Nevertheless, he was really thick-skinned. He immediately softened and smiled apologetically."""I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but I only have one daughter. Now that the wedding ceremony is about to begin, the groom still hasn't shown up yet. Of course, I'm going to be worried.""""

"Belle felt a wave of disgust when she saw Fadison, who had acted arrogantly at first, slowly turning to act like a slave. She also couldn't help but to feel sorrowful when she saw his sickly face." How could a rascal like him manage to pester Harvey Manor for so many years? It was really pathetic and ridiculous.

"Dad, don't worry. Calvin has never crossed the line when doing things. He must have been delayed by something. Belle thought about it and stepped forward to explain for Calvin's sake." "She sounded steady and flat, but the gaze she shot at Fadison was incomparably cold and fierce."

"When Fadison heard the way Belle addressed Hudson, he immediately understood who Belle was. It seemed that Belle was his daughter's groom's first wife, and right then, she was Harvey Manor's head of the household. Fadison thought for a moment and understood that his daughter would still have to confront Belle in the future. He forced a smile and said, ""Hehe, it's good if it's like that. However, the wedding is about to begin. We mustn't miss the joyous moment."""""

"Belle looked at his lowly yet strange self and shifted her gaze away from him. She then said respectfully to Hudson and Paige, ""Dad, Mom, let's go and take a seat first."""

"Alright. Hudson nodded in agreement. ""Let's go. Calvin will definitely come after everything is settled. Just as I said, our family is just taking in a second wife. There's nothing to make a fuss about.""""

"At that time, of course, Hudson knew the heavy responsibility on Calvin's shoulders. Right then, even if he did not come, as long as they, the elders, were present, that wedding could still be held smoothly. At least the atmosphere at the scene was evident, and it could be used as a cover to avoid people gossiping about it. That was the reason Hudson had asked Paige to show up at the wedding." "Then, Hudson led them towards the emcee on the stage."

"At that moment, the two emcees, who were on the stage, were so anxious that they were sweating profusely. The opportune moment had almost arrived, and it was their first time holding a wedding with the groom absent. They really didn't know how they were able to start the ceremony. It was not until Hudson, Paige, and the others were heading towards them did they feel somewhat relieved."

"The guests beneath the stage were all seated, and they locked their gazes on them as soon as they appeared."

"Hudson took the lead and sat down on the big, red, wooden chair in the middle of the stage."

"One shouldn't dismiss the fact that this was no ordinary chair, as it was made of fine rosewood. Usually, it was never brought out and was stored away, but it was moved out for the sake of making sure that the event that day was grand and respectable. Moreover, in order to protect the chair, they sent two security guards to move each particular chair."

"Paige also sat down on a smaller, expensive chair that was made of ebony."

"Those two chairs would usually not be moved out. Nonetheless, they were placed on that luxurious stage that day, and it made the ceremony seem noble and solemn."

"Belle stood close to Paige. Although she looked calm and peaceful on the outside, her heart was pounding wildly. She felt very uncomfortable, as if there was something in her heart that was broken."

"At that moment, she only wanted to see her husband, Calvin, but at the same time, she was afraid to see him. After that day, he would not belong to her alone. She felt as if someone had used a stick to twist her flesh at the bottom of her heart, which made her particularly uncomfortable."

The wedding song played in an impassioned manner.

The hopeful moment had finally arrived.

"Liya had been waiting behind the beaded curtains in the corridor which led to the stage, waiting eagerly for Calvin to come up and hold her hand and walk along the aisle, through the arched doors made of flowers, and go onto the stage to accept everyone's blessings."

"However, things didn't go as she expected. It was already time, but she had yet to see Calvin's figure."

"Her heart sank, and she tasted bitterness at the corner of her mouth."

"Now, we would like to welcome the bride. As soon as the joyous hour arrived, the emcee's voice rang out."

"At that time, Fadison, who was wearing a suit, stood in front of her and stretched out his hand. Liya extended hers, which were covered with white gloves. The duo walked out hand in hand, serenaded by the melodious wedding music."

"All of a sudden, the whole venue went silent."

"With Fadison's help, Liya walked down the aisle and towards the center of the stage. At first, she would have to stop in the middle of the pavilion while Fadison would hand Liya to his son-in-law, Calvin. However, due to the fact that Calvin hadn't arrived yet, they had to omit that step. In the end, Fadison brought Liya directly to the stage."

"Liya's face began to flush, and her eyes were welled up with tears."

"She had participated in other second wives' weddings in A City several times, and they all had a joyful atmosphere. Moreover, the bride and groom would happily participate in the wedding together, but she had never seen any wedding ending up like hers."

"Nonetheless, she couldn't just come to a conclusion that the Harvey family didn't attach any importance to her, as the wedding was held in a grand manner, to the point that it was even better than others marrying their first and legal wife.

"The moment she stepped onto the stage, she saw it."

"Hudson was sitting in the main seat while emitting a majestic aura while Paige sat next to him elegantly. Paige's aura was no less than any madam of other prestigious families. Belle stood elegantly and virtuously on the side. No matter how one looked at it, it was a very formal occasion. If one could ignore the groom's absence, then it would be a wonderful ceremony. However, the point was that everyone there could be neglected, except for the groom. After all, it was their wedding."

Liya stepped onto the stage.

The crowd began to kick up a fuss.

What were they doing?

"It was obviously a wedding. So, how could the groom not be there? How did they expect the bride to face all that? Even if she was only the second wife, they still had to see the groom!"

"In the main seat near the stage, Sergio sat there calmly and elegantly. His burning and quiet gaze had been fixed on Belle the whole time. He was constantly observing her face and her every expression, trying to see through that woman."

"What kind of spirit did she have to make her stand on the stage in such a calm manner? Even when facing the mistress, who was trying to rob her of her husband, she still could act so calmly and elegantly. Was she a saint?"

It wasn't until Calvin hadn't shown up when the momentous hour had arrived that he became alert and was slightly shocked. He thought that something was amiss.

A sense of unease began to rise in his heart.

"Surely enough, his phone soon rang."

"

"He quickly stood up, walked aside, and picked up the phone."

"Mr. Xanthe, we have bad news. The situation has changed. Reid actually came here with Evan. As soon as the man's voice sounded on the phone, Sergio's face changed drastically, and he almost roared out, """What? How didn't we learn about this until now? What is Edgar doing?""""

"Mr. Xanthe, we've been fooled around by Hudson and Calvin this time. Their main goal is to use this wedding to save Evan. It's very likely that they want to capture us all in one fell swoop. They successfully diverted everyone's attention with this wedding, and right now, no one there knows about this."

What?

"The voice of his subordinate made Sergio feel a chill all over his body, and his hands began to tremble."

D*mn it. He naively thought that Calvin was using the wedding to let Zoella and Liya fight each other. He did not think that Calvin had such an advanced motive behind his back.

"Calvin was killing three birds with one stone with that plan, even he was kept in the dark."

"However, the problem right then was, why didn't his father, Yadriel, know about such an important matter?"

"Although Reid did not know about what the Xanthe family had done in the petrochemical factory in Wullen Town, nor did he get hold of the Xanthe family's secrets, he should be aware of their actions. What about Evan? At the thought of that, his heart pounded with fear."

He quickly hung up the phone and dialed Yadriel's number.

"Dad, things are not looking good. Reid has already brought Evan back to Harvey Manor today. Do you know anything about this?"

"Yadriel was sitting in a spacious office, watching the wedding at Harvey Manor from the screen. His son's call made his eyebrows twitch, and after a while, he answered in a deep voice, """I get it. For Liya's happiness, now Reid isn't controlled by the terrorists at all. The night before yesterday, the terrorists had already sent more people to stop what he was doing, but it's a pity that the Tamaland military took action and disrupted all the plans.""""

"Yadriel's voice sounded desolate and helpless, but it could be considered calm and composed at the same time."

"Dad, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Sergio sounded mad and puzzled at the same time."

"Sergio, calm down. I've already sent Edgar over. Yadriel said in a sinister and definite voice, """This thing happened the night before yesterday, and my men only learnt about it not long ago. After learning abou it, I went ahead and notified the terrorists. Besides, it's useless to tell you this. I'm more afraid that you may act rashly and alert the enemy.""""

"He took a sip of water and adjusted his glasses as he controlled his voice to be as calm as possible. """Even if Reid knows something, he's just a small leader, and he won't know that much. Moreover, he and his men are just a bunch of outlaws. It's not enough to pose a fatal threat to our family."

What about Evan? Sergio asked anxiously.

"Yadriel, who was on the other side, pondered for a while before saying, """Sergio, let's put it this way. Evan is just a weakling. As he has been living in Africa all year round, he has come into contact with many people and is familiar with people from both sides. So, he probably knows something. However, it is not easy for him to get hold of our actual evidence. I didn't want to deal with people like him at that time, but even if I did, I would've killed him quickly. However, that d*mn Reid took action, in order to avenge his sister and disrupted my plan at the same time. But if Reid was caught, the police might find some breakthroughs from him and find out secrets. Now that we are at this point, we can't afford to fail. So, we can't keep him alive.""""

"At the other end, Yadriel's voice, who was initially speaking slowly and gently, suddenly turned cold at the end."
