Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 558 Underestimating Your Husband
You silly woman. You're the one I love. Why should I marry Liya? He softly chuckled next to her ear with a hint of seduction in his voice.
"Belle's slightly sallow face was flushed as he kissed her and looked adorable, but she still informed him very seriously. ""But, I've promised Reid that three days later, you'll bring Liya for the registration."" Calvin's expression turned cold as he gave a disdainful smile.
Who asked you to do so? That's what you promised. It's none of my business.
Belle's eyes widened.
"Remember, I'm the head of the family, and I'm in charge of the family affairs. You shouldn't be the one making decisions for such a serious matter. Calvin warned as he pinched her delicate little nose, with his expression slightly serious."
"Belle looked at him with sparkling eyes, and they were like the glistening water of a clear river."
She was well aware of how overbearing he could be.
"However, this was the only time she was deeply moved and comforted by him."
"Do you know why I was angry at first? It's because you made your own decision without seeking my opinion. You disregarded your happiness and safety, and only thought of others' interests. There won't be a next time. However, I'll let it slide this time as you're pregnant. Remember, there's no other woman except you in this world whom I'm determined to be married to. You're the only woman I want to cherish for the rest of my life. Do you get it, my silly woman? Calvin's gaze was attracted by her bright, glistening eyes, as he brushed her little nose tenderly with ultimate affection."
"Belle instantly blushed, and sweetness welled up in her heart."
"One had to say, these words of flattery were not only pleasant to the ear but very moving as well."
"But I've already promised Reid. If we don't do it, will it be... Belle questioned without much confidence."
"Calvin snorted and replied disdainfully, """What promise? I made it very clear that I'll definitely not marry Liya. Everyone at the scene heard me. Furthermore, the wedding was not completed, and I did not register the marriage with her at all. Those were all merely acting. Even if I had used her to capture Reid and rescue Evan, our Harvey family has already given her two pieces of priceless jewelry as compensation. This is a fact. I'm a businessman, and I'm known to be scheming. I couldn't care less about how the outsiders would comment about me. Moreover, I didn't promise anything. So, how can I fulfil
it?"""""
It seemed that his words were true.
"Liya had been threatening him from the beginning, and he had never promised Reid anything as well."
Only then did Calvin's heart finally calm down.
"Evan had been successfully rescued, and the evidence that was used to frame Belle had been obtained. The initial purpose of this arrangement could be said to have been reached. Although there were unforeseen circumstances, it was still considerably manageable for him."
"Then, what about the charges Zoella had against the Harvey Group? Belle felt more confident after listening to Calvin's words, and as long as he wouldn't marry the seductress, Liya, she would be content. However, she still couldn't help but to ask about it anxiously."
Calvin laughed out loud.
"Silly woman, you're underestimating your husband. Don't you know who I am? As the president of the Richard Groups, why should I be afraid of that woman? Those accusations were all made up by Zoella, in an attempt to frame our company. Don't worry about it. In three days, I'll get rid of her company from A City. Since she is so conniving, I'll make her lose more than what she'll gain, and she'll suffer from a more terrible fate than her father."
"When Calvin said this, there was a terrifying and vicious light in his eyes. Previously, he didn't dare retaliate, as Zoella threatened him and held onto his weakness. As he was worried that Belle would get hurt, he endured the humiliation and allowed her to stir up trouble."
"Now that Zoella couldn't use his weakness against him anymore, there was no need for him to continue resisting her!"
Just a simple order or gesture from him could kick the insignificant Sky Sword Group out of A City.
"Belle, it's my fault that I didn't notice her scheme. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Nevertheless, please rest assured that it won't happen again. Calvin murmured to himself, as it was obvious from his eyes that he felt guilty about it."
"I'm really sorry for making you feel wronged all this while. In order to carry out the plan smoothly, I left you in the dark. Please, don't take it to heart, as I did it all for your own sake. He stroked her face and uttered in a low and mellow voice."
"Up to this point, Belle was still unaware that Zoella had framed her. It would be better if she knew nothing about it, as the accusation had already been dismissed. As such, Belle could live happily without worry. She might feel miserable if she knew more."
"Honey, have a good rest. I'll bring you and Jerry to the Seaside Resort tomorrow, and we can enjoy ourselves for the next few days. Calvin whispered in her ear and let her go. He gently helped her onto the bed and added, """I still have something to deal with outside. I'll return for dinner later."""""
"As he spoke, he strode out."
Belle pursed her red lips and watched as he walked away.
"When his stalwart figure reached the door, he turned around and gave her a big smile."
They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Aron, did you find any evidence of Zoella wanting to push Belle into the water at the last banquet? In the office, Calvin could not afford to be careless even for a moment. He quickly summoned Aron and Luca to question them."
"According to his intuition, if he simply drove Zoella out of A City, she would definitely not let it go. The Harvey Group's charges had yet to be cleared, and the accusation had been going on for too long. He was already impatient."
"Mr. Harvey, there's no concrete proof of that incident. Unless she admits it, it'll be difficult to find evidence. Aron shook his head helplessly." Where's Yaris? Are we still unable to locate him? Calvin's expression was extremely unsightly.
"Mr. Harvey, our people discovered that Zoella arranged for Yaris to live in a small city in Morocco. She must have utilized Matteo Jones' connection, and Yaris won't be allowed to return for the time being. Nonetheless, we have also found out that Yaris is the only son in his family. His parents are old, especially his mother, who is in the advanced stages of stomach cancer. She is currently warded in A City's government hospital. Yaris and his mother are very close. He should visit his mother soon, and the day of his return is just around the corner, Luca quickly answered."
"The government hospital? Calvin's eyes narrowed, and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth."
"Mr. Harvey, please rest assured. Our people are closely monitoring Yaris' mother 24 hours a day. As soon as he appears in the hospital, we will arrest him immediately. Luca continued to report."
Calvin nodded in satisfaction.
"How about this, Aron? Follow me to Capital City in three days. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and spat out these words from his thin red lips. His sword-like eyebrows were furrowed into a tight line."
"Pressed by the current situation, he had to take action soon. The following battles would be most thrilling. Now that he had no restrictions, he would not hesitate to act against them anymore." "The sea breeze was blowing, and the waves were surging."
The villa they booked at the Seaside Resort in L City was built overlooking the sea. The place was rather imposing. The smell of seawater and the fresh night breeze drifted in through the window from time to time.
"Inside the lavishly decorated living room, Jerry was happily rolling about on the floor, playing with his beloved toy car."
Belle was personally cooking some dishes and stewing soup in the kitchen.
"Calvin stayed by her side like a lackey. In fact, he was clumsy and couldn't be of much help at all. Sometimes, his attempt to help Belle made the situation worse. She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry." "Belle wanted to dismiss him from the kitchen, but he argued that she should not cook since she was pregnant. He wanted to take them out for a meal."
"However, it has been a long time since he and Jerry had eaten the dishes she cooked."
"In her opinion, the food sold outside was unhygienic. So, Belle showed an incredible display of motherly love and insisted on cooking by herself. In fact, such a chore was really nothing to her." "Hence, not only was Calvin beside her when she went grocery shopping or cooked, but he even accompanied her when she was at the toilet, as he was afraid that she would be tired. It was rare for Jerry to see his parents being so intimate with each other. So, he behaved sensibly and did not bother them as he enjoyed himself in the living room. The family of three was happy and harmonious." "Dinner was served, and the three of them sat around the table, talking joyfully. This was the first time they had gotten together and eaten happily ever since the incident at the Harvey Group." The news was playing on the large HDTV screen in the living room.
"It turned out that the gunshot at Harvey Manor yesterday came from the police who shot down terrorists. The police joined forces with the resident of the Harvey Group, Mr. Calvin Harvey, to stage a fake wedding. They successfully lured out Liya Luther's uncle, Reid Anson, and his gang. With this staged wedding, they managed to wipe out the terrorists that had committed many heinous crimes. Mr. Harvey announced that the wedding with Liya was annulled, as they did not register their marriage, and it was only held as bait. The widely spread rumor that Mr. Harvey is taking a second wife has now been debunked. Through this, we can't help but to admire Mr. and Mrs. Harvey' flawless performance for such a scene, successfully wiping out terrorists and eliminating harm, for the people." "The news on the TV was very detailed, and they were certain that such news would bring clarity to those who watched it."
"On the other hand, the series of reports in A City's evening newspaper were also very detailed. Some parts even vividly described how Belle pretended to agree to Reid's request." "After dinner, Belle snuggled up to Calvin on the couch. Jerry was already fast asleep at the side."
"Belle's heart was beating wildly. Although she was in Calvin's warm embrace and was well aware that he was her trusted support system, she still felt very uneasy."
"Whether it was the TV news or the newspapers, they were all reporting the fake marriage. All of them regarded it as Calvin's elaborate plan, but there were two parts that couldn't be ignored."
"The first was that Calvin did not send the gunman who shot Reid. As for who it was, it was still unclear. The second was that Belle had negotiated with Reid with sincerity at that time. She neither knew of Calvin's plan, nor was she pretending to agree to Reid's request."
"It made her uneasy, as there was no one who could testify to both these two parts, and there was no way to explain them."
"Even so, it was rare for the three of them to have so much free time and to be able to relax at the resort. They had really enjoyed themselves these three days."
"Although Calvin had kept them company in the past three days, everything in the Harvey Group was undergoing qualitative changes."
