Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 669 No Way To Go

"It was only fifteen minutes after Belle greeted Jaqueline and her father, and returned to the memorial tablet when she heard the loudspeaker of the broadcast room ringing. Maud was conveying Calvin's instructions through the loudspeaker. ""All entrances of the mansion have been closed. No one is allowed to leave. Sophia's memorial service is postponed for a day and all relatives who came may come back tomorrow. All guests and staff, please gather at the conference room. There is an important matter that needs to be addressed."

Belle was a little stunned when she heard this.

"Calvin had just returned home and was shutting down the mansion, even delaying Sophia's memorial service. Wouldn't this be disrespectful to Sophia?"

"However, too many things had happened during this time. It seemed that he was going to take action."

"Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she saw a few security guards walking in, carrying an ice coffin."

"Martin, what are you doing? Hudson was talking to Nuncio. He heard Maud's voice from the speakers and saw Martin and some staff carrying an ice coffin. He immediately walked up to them and asked." "Hudson, this is Calvin's order. The memorial service is postponed for a day. The weather is too hot. He is afraid that Granny's body will rot. Martin thought that there must have been something else behind what Calvin had done. So, he explained it in this way."

"Hudson's eyes flashed as he nodded. Now that Calvin was the head of the family, his decision was not to be questioned even if he was his father. Therefore, he did not say much."

"Everyone, please move to the conference room in Ink Garden. In the broadcasting room, Maud's voice sounded over and over again."

"At that moment, be it the guests or masters who remained in Harvey Manor, all of them began to walk towards Ink Garden."

"Belle had originally planned to send a chauffeur to pick up Kate and Bailey, but now, that had to wait. She would discuss it with Calvin after the meeting."

"The conference room was in the hall of the joint villa in Ink Garden, and people who came and went would pass through the corridor."

"Soon, Belle saw Finley leading the police in, and she seemed to understand something."

"There must have been some progress in Ruth's murder case. They had found some clues, and then they needed to verify the evidence."

"When she turned, she saw Martin bringing a few men to place Sophia's corpse into the coffin."

"She didn't dare to leave. According to tradition, someone had to take care of Sophia's memorial tablet."

"She would wait until the rest of the guests and servants left to coordinate with the police. Thinking of this, she sat down in front of Sophia's memorial tablet and lit a candle for her."

"Grandma, please look after our family. I also pRhys that the Ocean Heart doesn't fall into the wrong hands. She placed the candle in front of Sophia's memorial tablet. She intertwined her fingers together as she silently pRhysed in her heart."

"Now that Calvin had returned, her heart was finally at ease."

"She slightly closed her eyes and exhaled before slowly opening them. She saw a pair of white sneakers stained with dirt. Looking up, she saw a pair of jeans that were covered with dust and dirt. The woman had shoulder-length hair and was wearing a wrinkled red T-shirt. Her face was as pale as a ghost."

"Belle gasped, and instantly stood up."

"Liya, what are you doing here? If it weren't for the jade she was wearing on her hand, she wouldn't have been able to recognize her. Her face was pale and she was extremely skinny. Her eyes were sunken. She was no different from a ghost."

"Liya stared at Belle, her lips closed, and her pale fingers fell on Sophia's coffin."

"Liya, what do you want? Go to the conference room. Everyone is there now, Belle said in a harsh tone."

"However, Liya's face was expressionless. She didn't show any reaction. Instead, she walked towards the memorial tablet, step by step."

Belle stepped back and frowned as she watched.

"Liya, I was kind enough to take you in. Sophia has raised you since you were young. Have you repented? Belle's eyes were cold as she asked." Liya's eyes slowly shifted to the memorial tablet in front of her. She looked at Sophia's portrait and her body froze. A trace of fear appeared in her eyes. Belle looked at her coldly.

"Now that you're here, you'd better bow three times to Grandma. She stood behind her and said in a harsh voice."

"Liya was in a daze. Surely enough, she knelt down and bowed three times before the memorial tablet."

"Liya, listen carefully. These three bows were something that you owe the Harvey family and Sophia. From now on, you are a stranger to the Harvey family. We no longer owe you anything, Belle said sternly." "Liya lowered her head, and her entire body shrunk into a ball. She knelt down dispiritedly, but her eyes were fixated on the ice coffin. She didn't say a single word."

"Liya, you had something to do with Ruth's death, didn't you? You pushed Madam Paige down too, am I right? Why did you do that? How could you do such a vicious thing? The Harvey family helped you so much. Why don't you appreciate us? Belle bit her lip and asked."

"Liya hugged herself. When she heard the name 'Ruth', her entire body suddenly began to tremble. Terrifying images flashed through her mind. She suddenly turned around and stared at Belle. Her eyes were filled with an extremely vicious light."

Belle looked at her. Liya seemed to have lost her mind. A sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

"At that moment, Liya looked like she had really gone mad. It was terrifying."

"Belle, where is the Ocean Heart? Give it to me. Liya suddenly took out a sharp knife, aimed it at Belle, and threatened her. """Hand over the Ocean Heart and get me out of this mansion, and I will let you go.''''' She approached her with the knife in her hand.

"Belle was stunned for a moment, before understanding the situation. This must have been her reason for coming. After having failed to find it in the mansion, this must be her last attempt to find it." This woman was terrible. It was impossible for her to change!

"Belle, if you give me the treasure, then I will let you live, and I will no longer interfere with the Harvey family anymore. However, if you don't hand it over, then I will kill you and your child. Think about it carefully Liya said in a low voice while laughing insidiously."

"Upon hearing this, Belle's heart turned cold."

"Liya walked closer still. Belle held her belly and retreated a few steps. There was a wall behind her, and she had nowhere to hide. Liya's knife was aimed at her. If she were to flee, then she would most likely be hurt before she could do so."

"Only now did she begin to feel scared. It was obvious that Liya had planned this. At that time, everyone had gone to the conference room. Taking advantage of this, she had come to threaten her, making these demands."

She had purposely come for Belle.

It was the truth.

"When Letty had come over to get her to escape, her mind had already cleared up. Yet, she had never intended to follow Letty. Rather, she had planned to take the treasure for herself. This was why she had pretended to be mad in front of Letty."

It was the perfect timing that Maud had summoned everyone to the conference room just then.

"There were only two possible hiding spots for a treasure like the Ocean Heart. Sophia could be hiding it herself, or she had handed it to one of the family members. The eldest granddaughter-in-law, Belle, must have been holding on to it. Therefore, the mourning hall would be the best place to be right now."

"She stood by the window of the bedroom and watched as groups of people walked from all directions towards Ink Garden. She went downstairs too. There were so many people. So, there were not enough cars. As such, she lowered her head and hid among the crowd moving towards Ink Garden. Then, she took the opportunity to hide in a corner. Her eyes were fixed on Belle, who was standing in front of the memorial tablet."

She didn't show up until Belle had sent everyone away.

"At that time, security personnel were in every part of the mansion. She knew that there was no use running away, and she had no time to commit a crime. She could only threaten Belle, force her to hand over the treasure, and then force her to get her out."

"Liya, please put down the knife! Let's talk it over. Belle held her stomach, her heart aching. Only then did she regret letting her in. A woman like this had lost her mind. She shouldn't have treated her like a regular person at all. It was too late to have regrets then. Her mind was spinning. She was stalling for time, waiting for Calvin to come and save her. Seeing that Liya's face was filled with viciousness, she was worried that she would suddenly do some crazy things. So, she tried to persuade her, ""Liya, if I hadn't called the police for you and asked Maud to send you to the hospital in time, you would've been dead by now. Don't you remember? Why are you trying to hurt me now?"""""

"Liya's eyes turned red. She grinned and said, """"I don't want your sympathy. Don't pretend to feel sorry for me. I won't thank you. If you know what's good for you, then hand over the Ocean Heart now, and I'll let you go. After that, we won't cross paths anymore. Otherwise, we'll die together today. I don't have anything to lose."""

"I'm not you. You're the precious wife of the Harvey family head, respected by everyone. I bet all that is waiting for you in the future is happiness."

"As Liya said this, the jealousy in her heart intensified, making her act irrational."

"You want the treasure, but isn't that a simple thing? Put the knife down. I know where the treasure is. I will take you to retrieve it, okay? Belle didn't fear for her life, but for the child in her stomach. Now that Calvin was back, she believed that he would soon come here to search for Liya. She had to fight for more time. Therefore, she tried her best to buy time. She kept whispering in her heart, ""Calvin, hurry."""

"I'm telling you, stop playing tricks on me. If you lie to me, then I'll have you killed immediately. You know how Ruth died. If you're not afraid, then you can die with her. Liya looked at her with a death stare as she threatened her."
