Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 610 Malicious Intentions

"Mr. Harvey, Otis and I were raised by Sophia, and we have been working for her all this while. She gave me a list, and on that list were people whom she had financially sponsored throughout her life. She wanted me to preserve the list in Harvey Manor's history. Kate's name was on that list. Therefore, Madam Lilian must be somehow connected to Harvey Manor. Otis continued to analyze."

Calvin could no longer remain calm upon hearing that.

A list of names whom Sophia had sponsored?

"Calvin had seen that list when he had flipped through Harvey Manor's hundred-year long history in the study, but there wasn't anything to specify what that list about. So, Calvin was clueless about it until Blake brought it up. Calvin did, in fact, see Kate's name on that list."

"Calvin became more confused as he thought about it. He couldn't calm down as he tossed and turned in bed that night, unable to fall asleep. He was thinking of Belle and all the memories they had spent together."

"In a daze, Calvin finally fell asleep. Yet, Belle was not there in his arms. He rolled over in bed and once again thought of Belle's hateful gaze. He tossed and turned around again later that night, feeling even lonelier."

"The next day, Calvin did not wake up in a good state. He stood by the window and thought of the decision he had previously made up in his mind. If everything developed to the point of no return, then he wanted to leave everything behind by bringing Belle and their children to start a new life somewhere else."

He wanted to live a happy life.

It was also that day that Yadriel's election started operating on a large scale.

"At noon, Luqman walked over in a mysterious manner and said unbelievably, ""Young Master Harvey, do you know that it's getting strange out there? A lot of Yadriel's voters had given up their votes, and his vote count was reduced by half. It doesn't seem likely for Yadriel to win the election at this critical period of time.""""

"Is that true? Calvin was startled. Then, he was reminded of Brooklyn's expression from the night before. Could it be that...?"

"However, Brooklyn didn't promise him anything at all."

Calvin was in doubt and in deep thought.

The time would come. Was he too impatient?

The main entrance of the Xanthe family residence was shut tight.

"A few sparrows were chirping by the entrance of the dark and gloomy manor. It used to be a lively place, but it was quiet at noon."

"Mr. Xanthe, Ezrah is missing. I've searched everywhere, but I still can't find him. His family members claimed that Ezrah was on a business trip, but I found out that he was never at that place, Edgar said hurriedly, rushing over."

"Don't panic. Yadriel glanced fiercely at him, with his veins on his forehead bulging."

"Yadriel also received a text message from a colleague in the office just then, saying that his funding worth billions of dollars had been exposed to the disciplinary committee. The committee would start the investigation soon."

D*mn it. Who was the one causing all the trouble for him at this moment? Could it be that Ezrah had betRhysed him?

"According to your speculation, where do you think he could have gone? Yadriel asked in a low voice as he clenched his fist to keep himself calm."

"Edgar frowned, with the scar on his face twisting a little. There was a terrifying glint in his gaze."

"Mr. Xanthe, I saw Calvin at the Jewelry Hotel last night. He was with Brooklyn, Edgar said."

"Calvin? Yadriel looked even more terrifying, with his knuckles crackling."

"Dad, Dad. Sergio's anxious voice sounded from the outside."

Yadriel glanced at Edgar and waved his hand. Edgar then snuck out of the room from the side entrance.

"Dad, something's wrong. Our friends in court have given up their rights to vote. Meanwhile, Luqman's vote count is increasing, and he's not too far behind us. If this continues, then we will be in a risky situation. If we can't win, then we will have to do this again, and we will be tight on our funding, Sergio said. He had rushed back as soon as he got the news."

"Sergio slammed his fist on the couch to vent his anger as he yelled, """'These b*stards. They made all those promises to get our money, and they've now turned their backs on us.""

"Yadriel already knew about that. Thus, he was in a worse mood when he saw Sergio reacting like that.

"1

"There must be someone else behind this. Otherwise, things wouldn't have changed this drastically, but who was behind all that? Yadriel could roughly figure it out. It seemed that he had been too careless." "Sergio, it's not only that. Someone reported us to the committee, and they'll start investigating our billion-dollar funding, Yadriel said with a low voice."

"Ah. Sergio's face turned pale in shock, and he then asked, """Dad, what should we do?""""

"Don't panic. Yadriel glanced at Sergio, who was overreacting to the situation. He then said, """Although it is a huge sum of money, I doubt they'd get any dirt on this. I have planted a few of my own people inside the committee. They told me that they'll try their best to put this to a stop. We have to win this election, and no one will be able to take us down once we are elected.""""

Sergio finally regained his composure after hearing that.

"Sergio, tell me. How is it going on with the charges against the Harvey Group? Yadriel asked."

"Sergio smirked. ""No worries, Dad. The accusations are strong. He will never be able to get away from this.""""

"That's great. Yandriel said with a cold glint in his gaze, """Calvin is determined to fight against us. That's great. I shall stop showing mercy too.""""

"Dad, Calvin is full of himself and horrible. If we don't get rid of him soon, then it is a matter of time for him to become a huge threat to our Xanthe family. He's our sworn enemy. We can't let him go this time, Sergio said, with rage building in his gaze. He looked furious at the mention of Calvin."

"Yadriel lit a cigarette and took a few violent puffs. He then paced around in his room before saying in a heavy tone, ""If Calvin returns safely to A City, then you will make use of your power and take him away for disclosing confidential information. We can't let him destroy our plan."""""

Sergio was stunned upon hearing his words.

"I got it, Dad, Sergio replied in a hurry."

"The smirk on Sergio's face faded away as he asked with concern, """But what should we do with our current situation? It'd be difficult for us to win the election. Even General Perry had given up on his vote. What in the world is happening? What should we do?""""

"Sergio was anxious. Those people had promised them, but then, all of a sudden, they went back on their word."

"Yadriel smiled casually and said, """"Luqman is doomed in this election, but now that he's suddenly catching up, Calvin must be helping him with this. Don't worry. They're too late. It won't be that easy for them to surpass our votes."

Yadriel took another puff and exhaled. His expression was unreadable in the smoke.

"But we can't just drag it on like this. We need a lot of funding to get through each day, and we can't even take the risk to proceed with things over in the war-torn country. F*ck. This is all because of Calvin. He should mind his own business, Sergio said furiously. His eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth."

"Yadriel blinked several times, hiding away his cold glint, as he lowered his voice and asked, ""Sergio, you've spent a few days in Harvey Manor. Have you heard anything about that jewelry piece?"""""

"Are you talking about the 'Ocean Heart'? Sergio said as he darkened his gaze. There was a light in his eyes, but it ceased right away as Sergio shook his head and said, """Dad, there's something weird about this. I've never heard anyone in the manor talking about this. Not only the helpers but Hudson and Evan themselves seem clueless about it as well. I'm confused. But according to Zoella, that b*tch, it seems that Sophia had handed over that piece of jewelry to Belle. However, I don't find this possible."""

"Yadriel narrowed his eyes and said, ""No, Sergio. You mustn't look at the surface. The more peaceful things seem to be, the more problems that lay underneath. Someone must have kept this a secret from everyone else. I saw the jewelry piece myself. I wanted to get hold of it, but Lilian pulled some tricks, and I didn't manage to get it. I still can't get over this.""""

Sergio listened as he drowned himself in deep thought.

"Sergio, all these years, I've been looking for an opportunity to obtain this jewelry piece, but the Harvey family keeps a low profile. There is no opening for me to make my move. If we manage to press charges against the Harvey family, then it'd be a critical hit to them, and there comes our chance. We can threaten them into handing over the jewelry piece. That's why you have to find out where they hid it. Yadriel took another puff of the cigarette."

"Given the current situation, we can't get involved in any arms trafficking deal anymore, and our losses will only increase with time. If we can't win the election, then the consequences following behind will require money to solve too. Yadriel continued."

His eyes were dark as he immersed himself in the smoke.

"Sergio, we should plan a way out. Things are getting complicated. Brooklyn is not giving us a clear stance, whereas Lilian is obviously on their side. Calvin is determined to fight us. Our future is uncertain. We have to plan a way out. If things become worse, then we'll just get the jewelry piece and leave. With that jewelry piece in hand, we won't have to worry about our future. It is a priceless piece of jewelry. We won't have to commit any illegal deeds anymore."

His forehead was reflecting the sunlight from the window. Greed was apparent in his gaze.

"Sergio was shocked. For the confident Yadriel to think about planning a way out, things were already clear enough, weren't they?"

Sergio lowered his head in silence.
