Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 565 Meeting Luqman

Belle's heart sank. It seemed that Sergio wouldn't leave Harvey Manor alone if they didn't clear the Harvey Group of their false accusation.

"Sergio was calm and composed, looking at her with a smile in his amber-colored eyes."

"She hurriedly lowered her head, picked up her utensils, and reached over to a plate of freshly pickled vegetables, gently picking up a piece of pickled green bean. Perhaps it was because of her panic that her hands trembled slightly. Belle put it into her mouth and tasted it carefully. She could noticeably feel that Calvin's muscles were tensed."

"As she chewed the pickled green bean in her mouth, she stretched out her fingers and grabbed Calvin's large hand."

"She much preferred the pickled green bean over the stewed soup. After chewing it several times and swallowing it into her stomach, she looked up at Calvin's frosty face and smiled. """Calvin, I'm full. Let's go and see Grandma."""""

"Calvin tried his best to suppress his boiling rage. After Belle's words pulled him back to reality, he nodded and said, """Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, enjoy your meal. I'll head out with Belle first."

Hudson's gaze was solemn as he nodded his head.

"Upon getting their permission, Calvin and Belle left."

"Calvin, when will the accusation against the Harvey Group be dismissed? Belle asked worriedly. It was obvious that Sergio came over at this time for the charges against the Harvey Group." "Belle, don't worry. I will handle everything. You have to believe in me. Calvin was worried that Belle would be anxious. After all, she was pregnant. Hence, he immediately comforted her." "Calvin, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, please don't keep it from me. Let's face it together, alright? Belle's eyes sparkled, and she requested emotionally." "Alright, honey. When Calvin noticed tears welling up in her eyes, his heart palpitated. He held her in his arms and agreed to her request. ""Don't worry. In the future, no matter what happens, I will tell you abou it. I will also discuss it with you.""""

"He would never allow anyone to use her against him in the future. Thus, there was no need for him to hide anything from her."

"Then, don't lie to me anymore. Belle, pouted while her soft and tender fingers glided across his rose-colored lips."

"

"Of course, I won't. Calvin chuckled."

"That day, Sergio did not come over for the charges against the Harvey Group. In fact, Calvin knew very well that everything he did was for Yadriel's election."

"Otherwise, with such a severe charge against the Harvey Group, Sergio would've taken advantage of the time when Zoella was framing them and destroyed them, according to his personality!" "Calvin would never believe that Sergio was worried about Belle getting hurt. So, he eased the time limit in investigating the Harvey Group when Zoella had planted all the accusations on her. "

"He was just looking for an excuse to stay in the Harvey Group and control them, so that they would not affect Yadriel's election."

"He understood very well that if the Harvey Group were to do their best to support Luqman, Yadriel would have to spend a huge sum of money if he wanted to win. Not only would that be more difficult, but he might also fail."

"If Sergio could grasp his weakness, then Calvin could also make a fool out of him and Yadriel."

White clouds were floating in the sky outside the cabin.

Calvin secretly boarded a flight to Capital City with Luca.

There was a slight restlessness flowing through the air.

"Calvin, who had always liked to take control of everything, was also quite irritated at that moment. He had driven Zoella's company out of A City, but Yaris was still on the loose."

"Calvin couldn't be sure when Yaris would return to A City's government hospital, and he wasn't sure when Yaris' mother would die."

"Right then, time was ticking. He couldn't wait any longer. So, he had to take action quickly, viciously, and in an accurate manner."

"Although Sophia might lose her battle at any time, he couldn't fulfil his filial duty and stay by her side."

"The situation was urgent. He believed that if Sophia were awake, then she would support his actions."

"Mr. Harvey, the address is at a restaurant outside the gate of Capital City. It is set at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. After we arrive at the hotel, we can also have a meal and a good sleep. As soon as they got off the plane, Luca gave a brief description of their schedule."

"We can't let anyone know about the arrangement, especially Yadriel's people, Calvin ordered in a low voice."

"Don't worry, Luqman is a smart politician. Even without my advice, he has already done careful planning. Luca nodded to reassure him."

"Calvin nodded, and the two of them didn't say anything more. They hailed a taxi and rushed straight to the hotel."

"In Capital City, the sandstorm was rather strong, and the weather was gloomy."

"When Calvin woke up from his sleep, he washed up at leisure and tidied up his suit, putting on a tie."

"When he entered the designated VIP room upstairs, Luqman was already sitting on the luxurious leather couch, awaiting him."

"In front of the couch was an exquisite tea set. Luqman was wearing a casual outfit as he prepared the tea. His behaviour was calm, and his actions were elegant, as if he had predicted that Calvin would come looking for him. He sat confidently, waiting for him with a faint smile on his face."

"Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Calvin walked in with an imposing manner."

"Until now, he had no choice but to join forces with Luqman to defeat Sergio. A man should be flexible and understand when to give and take. After all, he was more experienced now, and he wasn't as arrogant as before."

Yadriel had left him no choice. He was getting ahead of himself and wanted to take advantage of the situation. How could Calvin be controlled by him!

"As soon as he stepped into the room, Luqman stood up, stretched out his hand, and greeted with a hearty laugh. """Mr. Harvey, welcome."""

"Calvin smiled faintly and extended his hand as well. ""Mr. Wood, thank you."

"Please, take a seat and have some tea. Luqman gripped Calvin's hand tightly with his fleshy hands and added gently. He was practically pulling Calvin's hand as he sat down on the couch across from him." "The tea on the table had been brewed. As soon as Calvin sat down, Luqman began pouring tea for him in a solicitous manner."

"The tea gave off a sweet and fragrant aroma, just like wine, and its steam carried the aroma, drifting into their noses."

Calvin finally understood what it felt like to partner with someone to gain benefits.

"Come, have some tea. Luqman personally picked up a round teacup and handed it to Calvin. Calvin had no choice but to stand up and take it over, uttering, """Thank you, Mr. Wood.""""

"Luqman was attentive and well-prepared. He spoke and acted considerately, showing his sincerity and patience."

"Under his sword-like brows, Calvin's deep gaze showed sudden ripples of emotions, but it didn't leave any traces behind."

He had never liked dealing with politicians.

"In such a complex surrounding, they had already cultivated a set of professional and official communication modes. Some of them were scheming and dishonest. In their eyes, they only wanted to climb up the political ladder, and benefits were sometimes insignificant towards them."

Albie Williamson Matthews was such a man.

"Therefore, when Calvin had helped out Albie Williamson, as the director of the Public Security Department, he had deliberately distanced himself from him."

"Calvin was a businessman and mainly focused on commerce. There were thousands of people that relied on him in his company. He was not in the mood to speculate the habits and intentions of politicians. If it was not financially profitable, then he would consider it unworthy. That was the nature of a businessman."

"Luqman had predicted that Calvin would come over that day. He had once mentioned that he was already involved in the matter, and he wouldn't be able to remove himself from it."

"Calvin was now forced to take this route. However, the real reason he was determined to meet Luqman was that Yadriel and Sergio had gone too far. If such a person became the governor of Capital City, it would be disastrous for the people, including his own company."

That was why he had to make this choice.

"When he drank the fragrant tea, he noticed that the taste was slightly bitter. However, when it slowly slid down his throat, the fragrant aftertaste and sweetness made him feel enlightened all of a sudden, and he gradually enjoyed himself."

"Many described life as wine but most of the time, life was also like tea."

"After experiencing so much, Calvin finally felt wiser. He was no longer the easily provoked young man he used to be back then, and his heart had been sharpened to be resilient."

"As Hudson was already old, Calvin could no longer let him worry about the family affairs."

He wanted to pave his own path slowly and to captain the Harvey Group through the storm.

"Mr. Wood, the election is imminent. It's rare for you to be in such a good mood. Calvin drank the tea and placed the teacup gently on the table, smiling faintly."

"Ah, I'm just keeping myself optimistic. Obviously, I have no hope. Thus, I can only drink tea and have a casual chat with you. Nonetheless, I'm glad to see you, Mr. Harvey. Luqman had a self-deprecating smile on his face. His tone was humble, but his face was glowing with confidence."

"Calvin grinned. """Mr. Wood, to be able to sit in such a relaxed way and drink tea with me, this is not something an ordinary person can do. It seems that you are certain about it."""""

"Upon hearing this, Luqman replied straightforwardly, """Mr. Harvey, I'm well aware of who you are. So, I won't beat around the bush. How about this? Let's be upfront and not resort to insinuations. Since you've come to find me this time, I assume you already have a proper plan?"""

"Luqman cut to the chase, and there was a friendly smile on his face."

"However, Calvin let out a soft laughter. He was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, he asked slowly, """Mr. Wood, what do you mean by this?""""

"Luqman lifted his gaze. The handsome young man in front of him, Mr. Harvey, had an admirable background and appeared neither humble nor conceited. He kept to himself and did not reveal a shred of timidness. He was composed, and his manner was formidable. Luqman couldn't help but to offer praise. """Mr. Harvey, according to what I know, Yadriel is preparing to attack the Harvey Group. Yet, you're able to remain calm. I think you must be well-prepared."

"Calvin's expression remained unchanged as he chuckled. """Mr. Wood, you're flattering me. However, our Harvey Group is upright and abides by all the rules. Naturally, we're not afraid of him investigating this matter. Isn't it just a woman framing us? Can she really ruin my company? To tell you the truth, the reason I'm here today really isn't about the matters of our own company. It's only a matter of time before I clear off the accusation of the Harvey Group. Nonetheless, I just happen to have my own reasons for visiting you at this time."""""
