Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 609 Blake Cleared Calvin's Doubts

"Brooklyn mumbled a reply and didn't mind it, as he said, """Just tell me about your request."

"Calvin sat down and asked in a solemn manner, """Grandpa Brooklyn, it's about Yadriel's election. Do you think he's capable of governing the Capital City?""""

Calvin didn't bring up anything else but this question.

"Upon hearing this, Brooklyn frowned, but his expression was still calm, without any trace of emotion."

"Calvin, it is not up to me to decide whether he is a suitable governor or not. The citizens will decide his fate through their votes, Brooklyn replied faintly before turning around to look at him and said, """Calvin, I heard that your Harvey Group is in trouble now. You better tell me what happened and if there was any crime involved. If there was, then I will never let you get away with this.""""

"Calvin's face fell as he heard that. He then said, """Grandpa Brooklyn, the Harvey Group has always been clean and proper. We will never involve ourselves in any illegal activity. I hope that you will believe that we're innocent, and we will never leak any confidential information. So, I don't think that I did anything wrong."

"You're quite stubborn, aren't you? It seems like I won't get anything out of you. Brooklyn had a stern expression on his face as he asked, ""I heard that there are strong accusations against you, and the one who leaked the information was from your side. The higher-ups in Harvey Group were the ones who broke the law. So, what else do you have to say about this?""""

Calvin was shocked. He did not expect Brooklyn to have a clear grasp of the Harvey Group's current situation already.

"Grandpa Brooklyn, we have been framed by someone else. I'm looking for evidence, and I believe that it wouldn't take long for me to prove myself. Calvin immediately defended himself in an aggrieved manner."

"Alas, Calvin, I'm afraid that they might not give you the chance to look for evidence. Brooklyn sighed as he murmured to himself."

Calvin was dumbfounded.

"After a long pause, he then said, ""Grandpa Brooklyn, I hope you can help me put a stop to Yadriel's election. He doesn't deserve to become the governor of Capital City.""

"Brooklyn looked solemn. He took a sip of his tea and patted Calvin on his shoulder as he said, """You're still young. You have to be patient."""""

Brooklyn then diverted the topic and asked Calvin about Sophia's condition. There wasn't any opportunity for Calvin to shift the subject at all.

"After chatting for a while, Brooklyn took his leave. Before he left, he held Calvin's hand and advised, """Young man, you should cherish your family and have faith in justice. The time will come. Be patient.""""" "Calvin couldn't read through Brooklyn's smile at all. His gaze was as deep as the ocean, as he held onto Calvin's hand for a while before walking out with his staff."

Calvin sent him all the way to the hotel's entrance.

A military vehicle with a red flag pulled over by the hotel's entrance. Calvin helped Brooklyn to the car.

The secretary opened the door.

"Grandpa Brooklyn, take care. Calvin supported Brooklyn into the car before watching him leave."

"Calvin was puzzled by the meeting. He did not get any clear answer from Brooklyn, and their conversation was never really on track. Calvin's heart felt heavy as he thought of Yadriel."

The night gradually engulfed the apartment. The nightlife in Capital City seemed restless.

Calvin was seen pacing back and forth in his room as he drowned himself in deep thoughts.

The doorbell rang.

"Come in, Calvin spoke in a deep voice."

Blake entered.

"Mr. Harvey, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, Blake said seriously, with a calm expression after coming in from the outside."

"Calvin looked up and asked in a slightly surprised tone, ""If you have something to say, just tell me."

"Alright. Blake nodded. """Mr. Harvey, there's someone else you can look for help for the matter concerning the war-torn country."""""

Who? Calvin asked as he stood still and stared at Blake.

"Madam Lilian, Blake replied without hesitation."

"Calvin knew that he would bring up Madam Lilian. He shook his head, saying, """Blake, why would someone like Madam Lilian help me? She's in charge of the United Nations. Why would she help me with our country's affairs?""""

Blake gave a disapproving smile.

"Mr. Harvey, do you still remember what happened at the border of Tamaland that day?"

"At the border of Tamaland? Calvin frowned and asked in confusion, """What does this have to do with that?""""

"Mr. Harvey, in fact, it was Madam Lilian who helped mobilize the Tamaland military that day, Blake explained how he called Belle to request help from Madam Lilian back then."

Calvin finally understood his words.

It was due to Madam Lilian's request that the Tamaland military appeared just on time back then.

"Belle was the one who put in the request to Madam Lilian? Calvin asked, dumbfounded. He could still recall what had happened that night. He was terrified at the thought of losing Belle. Back then, he told himself that if they managed to return safely, he would not want anything else but to spend the rest of his life with Belle and Jerry."

Indeed. Blake nodded with certainty.

Why didn't you inform me earlier? What's the purpose of telling me this now? Calvin asked with a cold voice. His gaze was deep and mixed with complicated emotions.

"Mr. Harvey, it was an urgent situation back then. I did not have time to talk about it, and I did forget about it later on. The situation today reminded me of it. What I want to tell you is that Madam Lilian treats Belle very well. With how complicated things are going on in the war-torn country, I am worried about your subordinates. Of course, I'm also worried about Otis. Yadriel's arms trafficking deal is not that simple, as he has a wide network of connections. I'm really worried that we won't get any evidence. Now that Yadriel is aware of our moves, he is being extra careful. Things will only become more difficult for us. We can ask for Madam Lilian's help in this, can't we? Blake said as he analyzed their current situation."

"Calvin understood what he meant. He was worried about Otis. After all, Blake was Otis's brother. It was normal for siblings to be worried about each other."

"Blake, don't you think that you're thinking too much into this? Also, who do you think Madam Lilian is? She helped us back then because of Belle. How can we ask for her help again? Also, she's living in Europe now. What makes you think that she'll be willing to help us? Calvin asked with a dark expression. He had mixed feelings now that he knew Belle was the one who requested Madam Lilian's help back then. He couldn't help but to picture Belle asking for Madam Lilian's help in the middle of the night. How much courage did Belle gather to do that? She wasn't someone who would casually ask for help. Belle hadn't asked for anyone's help even when her father died. She quietly returned to the Harvey Group as she wanted to take revenge for her father on her own. Yet, that day, Belle went to Madam Lilian for help, for her husband's sake. Calvin felt terrible to have thought of that."

Once was already enough. How could he ask for a second chance? Calvin immediately rejected Blake's suggestion without a second thought.

"Blake crossed his arms as he leaned against the wall and said casually, "Mr. Harvey, I'm just reminding you of how much Madam Lilian favors Belle. Don't you think that there are other factors to this?""""" "Upon hearing that, Calvin was puzzled as he asked, fixing his gaze on Blake, """Blake, what are you trying to say?""""

Blake pursed his lips. The smile on his face was somewhat unpredictable.

"Mr. Harvey, I heard that Madam Lilian made a secret trip back to A City this time to look for her long-lost daughter." Calvin was shocked upon hearing that. He paused for a while before gasping. "How did you find out about this?"

"Blake was still looking calm, as he smiled faintly and said with confidence, """Mr. Harvey, I'm a well-known private investigator in A City. In our field, we have our own ways of finding out whatever has happened in A City. I have many informers working for me. You have to believe me."""""

Calvin was startled.

Are you saying that Belle might be Madam Lilian's daughter? Calvin asked in surprise.

"Calvin then was reminded of Kate's face. He laughed in silence and shook his head as he said, """Blake, you're too imaginative. Belle resembles Kate so much. How couldn't they be related at all? Even if Madam Lilian is indeed looking for her long-lost daughter, it won't be Belle."""""

"Blake remained as he leaned against the wall, shaking his head as he said, """Mr. Harvey, Belle is indeed Kate's daughter. That's correct. But have you ever wondered about Kate's mother? You're her son-in- law. Do you have any clue?""""

Calvin was puzzled upon hearing that question.

"Who was Kate's mother? Calvin neither had heard anyone talking about it, nor did he ever think of asking anyone about that."

Does this mean that Madam Lilian might be Kate's mother? Calvin narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I'm not sure about this yet, and I can't confirm anything, but I do know that Madam Lilian already has her doubts. According to the information I have, Madam Lilian has already met with Kate before her departure. As for the details, you will have to ask Kate herself. I don't know that much, Blake replied as he had no way of explaining."

"Calvin pondered in silence, but he was rapidly processing all the information he had learnt. He started to recall how fast it was for Madam Lilian to get close to Belle at Yezon's party that night. Madam Lilian even asked Belle about her mother. Their interactions were natural and close. There was nothing forceful in the way they interacted with one another. Could it be that Madam Lilian was actually related to Belle by blood?"

Calvin froze in place and did not say anything for a long while.
