Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 580 Madam Lilian Visited Sophia

"Belle sat in the office in the Ink Garden, skimming through the accounting books."

Maud hurried over.

"Madam, someone asked me to give this to you. Maud came over with an envelope and handed it to Belle with both hands."

"Belle was taken aback. She took it over and opened it. It was a delicate invitation letter. When she opened it, it clearly wrote, """Greetings, Mrs. Harvey! Madam Lilian will be coming to the Ink Garden to visit Sophia at nine o'clock tonight. Please see to the full execution of the security work and ask everyone to leave. Please ensure no word is leaked. Pay extra mind to this. Regards, Quina."""""

Belle was so shocked that she was at a loss at what to do.

Madam Lilian was actually coming to visit Sophia at Harvey Manor?

Did Madam Lilian know Sophia?

"How would Madam Lilian think of paying a visit to Sophia? Belle would never admit that Madam Lilian wanted to visit Sophia at Harvey Manor because of her. What surprised her, even more, was that Madam Lilian actually went to the Francist Community to visit Kate because of her. This made her feel very excited and moved."

"Such a noble person actually went to see Kate, an ordinary person, and also went to see her in person. This really made her feel fond of Madam Lilian."

"When she heard the call from Kate, she was incredulous. "

She picked up the phone immediately.

"Whenever Belle encountered anything, she would immediately think of Calvin and want to tell him everything."

"Calvin, let me tell you something. Madam Lilian will be visiting Grandma at nine o'clock tonight. Belle informed in a pleasantly surprised voice over the phone."

Calvin was in his office and was washed over by surprise to hear this news.

"It was unlikely that Madam Lilian would come to visit Sophia, as the Harvey family was not familiar with her. Did they come for the sake of Belle, an unassuming woman? It was said that Madam Lilian had regarded Belle as her granddaughter!"

"Belle, that's great. Calvin smiled and teased her. """It looks like my wife is an important figure!""""

"Come on. I'm not that well-known. I don't know why Madam Lilian wants to see Grandma. I think it may be because Grandma is famous. After all, she is also a reputable woman. Belle laughed in embarrassment."

"Calvin chuckled. """Alright, no matter what, as long as she steps foot into our home, we will welcome her warmly."

"Yes, Calvin. However, she is a big shot, and we have to prepare for our security detail. Her secretary has already stated that we must do a perfect job when it comes to confidentiality and also order all the others to leave, Belle notified him seriously."

"Yes, my wife. I'll return home immediately to help you arrange for it, Calvin immediately answered on the phone. ""Rest all you want. Don't worry too much."""""

"Calvin was afraid that she would worry. So, he quickly packed up everything while he was on the phone. He then asked, """Did you drink the soup today? Did you throw up?""""

"Belle smiled sweetly. """It's okay. Since there's nothing else, I'll hang up first.""

"Without waiting for Calvin to speak, she hung up the phone in advance to avoid hearing him blabbering. It had to be said that Calvin was too serious about her pregnancy, and he was overly worried about it." "D*mn, woman! How dare you hang up on me. Upon hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Calvin scolded her fiercely, but there was a slight tender smile on the corner of his mouth."

"It was quiet in the night, and the bright moon hung in the sky, covering the Ink Garden with a layer of faintly discernible mist."

Many of the candles in Harvey Manor had been extinguished in advance. The main lamps in the Ink Garden were still on.

"Hudson, Calvin, and Belle were standing at the Ink Garden's entrance."

A tour bus slowly drove over and stopped.

"Madam, we're here. Quina informed in a low voice."

"Ever since entering Harvey Manor, Madam Lilian had been sizing up the hundred-year-old manor. Deep in her heart was a myriad of emotions. Just how many years had it been since she'd entered the place? She only had the same memory of Harvey Manor in her heart."

"The garden didn't seem to have changed much. The small trees in the past had grown into towering trees, and the scenery in the garden was even more verdant and vibrant. Even though many places had been modernized, they were still filled with a familiar feeling from the depths of Madam Lilian's memories."

"It seemed that since she entered the garden, her thoughts were full of eagerness, and the feelings deep in her heart were very complicated."

The last time she came to this garden was the night before 50 years ago when she got a divorce.

"She especially came over to bid farewell to Sophia and asked her to take care of Emily in the future. At that time, Sophia felt helpless at the thought of Brooklyn's deep-rooted traditional mindset. However, Capital City's unspoken rule concerning family status was really too strong back then."

"The wealthy Cole Family could not accommodate women from the entertainment industry. The movie stars at that time were far less respected than the celebrities in the present. In the eyes of Brooklyn and many big families, Lilian's status was similar to that of women in brothels. Therefore, his opposition was expected."

"The open-minded Sophia had no other way. When she heard Madam Lilian's request, she immediately agreed and requested that she be at ease. She would do her best to help her and take good care of Emily."

"In fact, she really did it."

"After Flavian's death, the ten-year-old Emily exhibited threadbare survival ability. After thinking about it for a day, Sophia decided to go to Capital City to find Brooklyn."

"What she didn't expect was that the old, arrogant, and stubborn Brooklyn would immediately fly into a rage the moment he heard Flavian's name. Moreover, he immediately roared, "Whoever dares to mention Flavian or anything related to him in the future will be cut off. I'll never come into contact with them ever again."""

"With that said, he left abruptly."

"Sophia stood there, stupefied. Her expression was thrown off, looking as if she was in a dilemma."

"Brooklyn's stubbornness was well-known. Everyone in the circle knew that he was a man of his word. Sophia knew that she couldn't convince him, but she couldn't break off the relationship with the Cole family because of this. After all, the relationship between Old Master Harvey and Brooklyn had been forged on the battlefield."

"In actuality, Brooklyn was more furious at Flavian's attitude. After so many years, Flavian had never visited them, regardless of festivities. He never asked about them, much less apologized to Brooklyn. Therefore, the prideful Brooklyn felt that he had been disrespected. He was even furious at Flavian's actions. He had long since told the public that this was no son of his."

"At the end of her rope, Sophia had no choice but to return to A City."

"If she helped him out in the open, then she would offend Brooklyn. If she didn't help him, how could such a young girl survive? What was more, she had already promised Lilian." "Therefore, she came to Flavian's home that night."

"At this time, Flavian's family was downright destitute. Flavian, who'd lost the love of his life and family, turned into an alcoholic and didn't care about his business. He was withering away in poverty." "The most unexpected event was that Flavian despised Brooklyn's ruthlessness so much that he changed Emily's name to Kate. Even her surname was changed to Bennett. As such, it was obvious that Flavian did so to prove that Kate was not the Cole family's granddaughter but Lilian's daughter. Since then, she had nothing to do with the Cole family."

"At that time, Sophia secretly sighed. The father and son duo really bore the same character. They were stubborn people. Such a father and son were born enemies. Even if they survived, it was impossible for them to recognize each other."

"After giving it some thought, she felt that it would be best if Emily changed her name. This way, she would be able to assist her discreetly. She wouldn't have to be blamed by Brooklyn, and she could even avoid the rumors and grow up happily."

"At that moment, she took Kate and Bailey, who had been accompanying her for a while, to an old family house in A City. Bailey had been staying with Lilian all the time. She was an orphan and grew up with Lilian. She was only ten years older than Kate."

Kate had always called her Bailey.

"In this way, Sophia guided Bailey in taking care of Kate and provided them with the monthly living expenses. It was not until Kate had turned 20 that the Old Master of the Morris family took a fancy to her and married her to Ethan. Then, Sophia completely let go of her."

"Since she sent Kate to the old house, Sophia had never visited them to avoid suspicion, but she would secretly send someone to help."

"Therefore, even though Kate knew of Sophia, she wasn't very familiar with her. She didn't know that in the ten years after Flavian passed away, it was Sophia who had been secretly assisting them. She still thought that it was the inheritance left by her father, and she didn't know much about her original identity either."

"Since Bailey was also not much older than her and was always beside Lilian, she wasn't aware of most of the arrangement."

"As a result, Kate still didn't know that she was Brooklyn's granddaughter. When she was a child, she only knew that she was an orphan. Her mother was dead, and there was no one in her family, which was the only vague concept she held on to. "

"Sophia had always believed that Brooklyn would one day get Kate back since the same blood flowed in them. Nonetheless, time proved that she was getting ahead of herself."

"In the next few decades, Brooklyn had never asked about Emily, not to mention acknowledging her."

"Until today, Sophia couldn't be sure if Brooklyn knew that Kate was his granddaughter."

She could only feel that the matter was exasperating.

Ethan's tragic death was deliberately covered up. Sophia was also very anxious when she dealt with Tristan. She didn't know if this stubborn old man would lend a hand. "Yet, just as she hoped, Tristan helped her."

"As for whether he was helping Kate because he knew she was Brooklyn's granddaughter, or for the sake of the Harvey family, that remained unknown."

"It had been so many years, and Kate was still mired in such a miserable situation. At this time, even if they recognized each other, they would feel nothing but pain. In fact, at times, Sophia thought, """'We'd better just put it behind us. Everyone can still live relatively peacefully.""""

This must be a cruel reality.

"Therefore, Sophia never told anyone about Kate. Neither did anyone know about this fact. The Harvey family had plenty of money. It was a drop in the bucket for them to help a little girl like Kate. If she didn't say anything, then no one would know either."

"It could be imagined that if Kate's family background were exposed too Tristany, then it would absolutely not be a good thing for her. Sophia was afraid that Kate would live in a plague of gossip from then on. Moreover, Brooklyn had been involved in the political circle for so many years. It was inevitable that he would have a few feuds. If political opponents came to seek revenge and threaten him because of this, then the most miserable one would be the innocent Kate."

One should know that it was better to live a peaceful and happy life!

"Since that was the case, Sophia's heart was already as tranquil as still water. Her hope for Brooklyn and Kate to reconcile was also diminished."
