Early in the morning, Belle went to work at Harvey Corp in a bit of a trance.
She put on Harvey Corp's work dress in advance, with her hair pulled up in a high bun and her high heels changed to a pair of light-coloured ones. She knew that Calvin liked her to wear light-coloured high heels, which would make her beautiful legs look very slender and feminine.
She is refreshingly beautiful throughout and very appealing to the eye.
The door in the office was open, and Belle was surprised, as she clearly remembered that she had closed the door when she left work yesterday.
She pushed the door open.
A well-dressed and flamboyant woman, in her mid-forties, with not a wrinkle in sight on her well-kept face, dressed in a light orchid suit dress, and with a savage sense of style, is sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.
"Mom ...... Paige ......" Belle exclaimed, unable to close her mouth for a long time. Calvin's mother had actually come to the company early in the morning and was sitting in her office.
It seems this is specifically for her.
Belle came back to her sense and wondered what important thing was to make Paige come in the early morning. She had a chill feeling in her heart.
As Paige was just sitting there, and Belle could feel her dislike for her all over her body.
This former mother-in-law's displeasure and disgust with her was on her face, for she didn't feel the need to even hide it.
She wished that she could hurt Belle, as if the more Belle was hurt, the happier she would be.
Belle's heart was bitter and unbearable, but now that she and Calvin were divorced, she didn't need to afraid of Paige anymore!
"Paige, you came to my office so early, I guess there must be something important, right?" Out of courtesy, after putting down the bag in her hand, Belle poured a cup of water and handed it over, squeezing out a smile on her face.
Paige did not take her glass of water, but closed the newspaper, sized up Belle with her stern eyes and pointed to the sofa opposite, gesturing for Belle to sit down.
Belle was open-minded and sat down with ease.
"You're already divorced." She said word for word as if she was deliberately reminding, her tone extremely cold. Belle's e body went chill as she replied, "I know."
"Good." Paige said lightly, suddenly her tone was stern, "Since you know, why did you still come to work at Harvey Corp? If I remember correctly, there is no one in Harvey Corp who treats you particularly well, what is your purpose in doing so?"
Heck! She knows that!
The forced smile on Belle's face faded and her expression gradually changed, and when she spoke again, a cold smile was already on her face. She did not have to hide it anymore
"Paige, I think you should ask your son, it was him hire me." Belle replied coldly.
"Don't use Calvin to pressure me, he can’t withstand your temptation, but I can. I am clear-headed." At the mention of Calvin, Paige's face was no longer half warm.
"Let me tell you, Harvey Corp is my life's work with Calvin's father, I will not allow anyone to destroy it. If you want to play any tricks, you have to ask me if I will agree." Paige's face tightened and her words were harsh.
Belle felt suffocated, she exhaled deeply and looked at Paige.
"Paige, are you being weak-minded? Calvin gave me money and I work for the company for the money, but you have to think of people in a bad light. Do you think everyone is as narrow-minded as you are?" Belle retorted without mercy.
Paige’s anger lurked within every wrinkle of Paige's face, her face flushed red and her eyes glaring, she snapped, "Belle, don't think that just because you know something about car design, our Harvey Corp will beg you. Let me tell you, our Harvey Corp has plenty of money, and we don't even care about a bitch like you. Calvin hires you you, that's just because you're a superficial woman who's greedy for money and can be sent away with a little money, but I'm different, if you want to play any tricks, I'll take care of you at any time and make leave."
"Is that so?" Belle couldn't help but laugh out loud in anger, "It seems that you are still as self-righteous as you were, thinking that the whole world have to look up to you."
The last bottom line of Belle was completely destroyed when Paige uttered the word bitch. Belle opened her mouth with a sneer, "Old woman, who are you to call me 'bitch'? Do you think you are so noble? Do you think you are so smart? Grandma looks at you with the same displeasure, in grandma's eyes, you are also a bitch too. Grandma has never spoken to you in good manner, so who are you to call me bitch?"
Belle thought she must have been unlucky to be hit with bad luck early in the morning. It seemed to be just as Lottie had said, she really shouldn't have walked into Harvey Corp to work, she was asking for humiliation.
"You ......" Paige was furious that Belle had actually poked her in the heart and pulled out her sore spot.
In this life, her greatest taboo was Calvin's grandmother, her mother-in-law, who were known to be at odds with her, and which even made entertainment headlines back then.
Back then, she had been slapped by Hudson because of her mother-in-law, and that was the only time they quarrelled, for which her heart did not feel half as good towards her mother-in-law. The old scars were revealed by Belle, and the past came to her mind, and she immediately turned angry.
Belle is not the same woman who let Paige bully her a long time ago. She sat quietly, her gaze as clear and cold as water.
Paige was usually used to being pampered and listened to good words, but today, when she was angry with Belle, she actually felt that the sky was spinning.
"Mum, what's wrong with you?" A woman in read flashed in at the door, Lexie rushed in and, seeing Paige looking bad, she squatted and asked with concern.
"Lexie." When Paige saw Lexie, her taut face immediately softened, like she had seen a lifeline, pointing at Belle and saying in an exasperated voice, "Lexie, it's good that you're here, this bitch insults me."
"Mom, why bother with some vulgar and unpleasant people, don't be angry. Your health is important, I still want to be more filial to you in the future." Lexie rubbed Paige's back, softly explaining, her face full of smiles, thoughtful and warm.
Paige immediately smiled, "Lexie, you are understanding and considerate. Seeing you makes my heart feel better. Is Calvin here? I am going to discuss your marriage with him today."
"Really?" Lexie's face was glowing with surprise, her eyes shining brightly.
"Of course, it's lucky for Calvin to have a virtuous, gentle and understanding wife like you!" Paige lovingly took Lexie's hand, patted her shoulder and said smilingly, but when she glanced Belle again, her eyes dimed.
Belle stood up, ready to go out.
"Wait, Belle." Lexie was trying her best to please Paige, when she saw that Belle was going to leave, she suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Belle, how dare you offend the president's mother? You are just an employee of the company, how dare you be so rude? I am now officially ordering you as the deputy president, apologize to my Mum."
