"Calvin, I'm not forcing you, if you don't marry Lexie, Harvey Corp will definitely have a risk. Many people will lose their jobs, many small and medium-sized companies will come over to annex our property in A City, it won't be that easy for you to rise again. Do you remember Owen Bell, the popular figure in A City? Because he offended the official family, overnight he went bankrupt and took the debt, he will never rise again. I can't see Harvey Corp in such a situation." As if she had made up her mind, Paige reiterated once again.
"Mom, what about my happiness?" Calvin asked in a cold voice, his face expressionless.
"Your happiness?" Paige sighed and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you happy enough now? You have everything you want, on the global wealth list, the richest man in A City, these conditions are already something that many men are jealous. Now you are just asked to marry the future mayor's daughter, and she is carrying your child in her belly, isn't all this enough?"
In Paige's eyes, these were enough to make a man happy and proud for the rest of his life.
"But Mom, these are not what I want, I would rather lose all of this." Calvin did not take Paige's words to heart at all and murmured.
Paige slammed the coffee table and shouted angrily, "Calvin, do you really think you are really that capable? If it weren't for the solid foundation your father and I have laid over the past few years, if it weren't for the Harvey family's connections, and the powerful backers in both military and politics, do you really think you could have achieved so much? Don't be too conceited. How many men in the gentry marry women not for the benefit of their family, and how many of them really want to marry women who don't have a family background? You're the only one who are so obsessed with love, but does she appreciate your love? She got a man home in front of you and injured you, and she stood there indifferent, can you really stand it? Only when you are strong, everything will belong to you. We have been strong and invincible, I will never allow you to fool around again."
"Mom, don't need to press me with these things, I am not one of those wimpy men in the gentry who have to rely on women's nepotism to develop the family business. I have my own ideas and believe that with myself, I can rise to the top, I don't need you to help." Calvin stood up and said coldly.
"You ..." Paige failed to convince Calvin, and felt anxious, in a fit of anger, she was about to faint.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Calvin became anxious and hurriedly reached over to help her, asking in a panic.
"Calvin, you are trying to piss me off." Paige sat down on the sofa and cried out loud, “I have learned that Tristan had lay hands on the Harvey Mansion, and he warmed that, he would collect the piece of land back and had to check all the projects in A City. The consequence would be unimaginable."
Calvin's face clouded over and a cold light erupted in his eyes, and after a long time, he casually spoke out to comfort Paige, saying.
"Mom, don't worry, there is fairness and justice, our Harvey Corp is doing the right thing, we have nothing to be afraid of. Tristan can't be powerful than the law."
"Son, I'm afraid that by then it will be too late." Paige said with a tearful voice.
For a moment, Calvin was disturbed by Paige's tears, and after helping Paige into the bedroom to lie down, he walked out in a depressed mood.
"Calvin, whether you agree with me or not, I have set the wedding for you and Lexie on the eighth day of the year." Paige's voice boomed like thunder from behind him, and Calvin felt he was completely dazed, he didn't even hear Paige's words afterwards, nor was he able to think about anything else, his mind was full of images of Rhys holding Belle in his arms, numbly walking away step by step.
The Hummer drove crookedly in his hands.
If Belle had given him the courage, he would have resisted. For him, there was no greater difficulty than the betrayal of his beloved one.
Maybe resisting would really cost him everything, maybe it would be a bit hard, but he believed that with his skills, and Belle's design for the luxury car, everything could be started again from scratch.
But the fact was so cruel!
Belle was with another man, leaving him completely down, with no more courage to fight, and he could not find any excuse to continue, except to accept the reality, he really did not know what to do.
He pulled into a nightclub and drank sullenly.
In the ward, Lexie held a newspaper in her hand, a triumphant smile on her face.
On top of the newspaper, the picture of Rhys holding Belle in his arms was clear and conspicuous, right in the best position of the headline, while Calvin was furious, like a raging lion.
"Mum, it looks like I'm going to make it with Calvin." Lexie put down the newspaper and said joyfully.
"How can you tell?" Jennifer asked in disbelief.
Lexie smiled comfortably and handed the newspaper to Jennifer, who looked at it with confusion and smiled.
That woman was finally going to quit on her own, and had promised to give her daughter the inheritance of Harvey Mansion.
Sure enough, the next day Paige brought news.
"Jennifer, I've come to bring you news today." Paige announced with a smile as soon as she entered the door.
"Paige, what good news?" Jennifer asked deliberately.
"We are going to be real in-laws and Lexie is going to be my daughter-in-law." Paige smiled affectionately, and was full of pleasing smiles at Lexie.
She only had one son, and she are not offend this daughter-in-law.
Lexie's face flushed and her eyes were full of joy.
