Martin was already on the verge of being extremely nervous and yet excited. When he was awakened by Calvin's sudden interruption, before his head could react, he received a punch from him, and when he looked up to see the stern-faced Calvin, his face turned white in the less brightly lit basement, he was very upset.
He didn't expect to be caught by Calvin in a place like this, and even though he tried to hide it, he couldn't hide the slightest hint of trepidation.
At this point he doesn't want to make such news all over town, for he is a government official and his image is important.
More importantly, he must not let his grandmother know, otherwise those Harvey Corp inheritance rights belonging to him will be in danger of being lost due to her thunderous anger.
She is 90 years old, but she has a clear head and a letter from the old man in her hand, so she has the right to speak.
Calvin is rich with Harvey Crop, while Martin is not. He is the head of the Finance Department, but his salary is limited, so he did not have much money.
Didn't Calvin want him to get nothing? He obviously doesn't love Belle, yet he's still keep an eye on him!
His grip tightened and he climbed to his feet, clearly angry but not daring to raise his voice in defiance, his back not even as straight as it had been a moment before.
Calvin took in his expression and couldn't help but be filled with mockery as he snorted contemptuously.
He calmed himself down, his smile stiffening, "Calvin, you are here."
Calvin snorted coldly, "Martin, you are a government official, yet you have repeatedly acted recklessly, and you are also involved with a divorced woman, do you think this is proper? If word of this gets out, what will Grandma think when she finds out? What will happen to your career? You are so smart and have such a deep heart, how come you have repeatedly made mistakes in this matter?"
Hearing this, Martin’s face changed, his eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
He gave a grim look at Calvin and then looked at Belle who had fallen to the ground, and had no choice but to say, "Calvin, since you have already divorced, I think it is justifiable for me to marry her, not to mention that I am now more qualified than you."
"Is that so?" Calvin couldn't help but laugh out coldly, "Grandpa's last words stated clearly that you can only marry Rosa Perry from the military world, and the marriage is being prepared now. Do you dare to risk not wanting anything to marry a divorced cousin-in-law? Can you do that?"
Martin's body shook, and with his mouth open all he could do was breathe out, not in.
The corners of Calvin's mouth showed a smile-like arc, and said lightly, "What's more, your position as the head of the Finance Department has just been taken up, if you want to miss your career, then do as you please, but think carefully, General Perry has a bad temper."
Martin, whose mind is never outwardly exposed, is now frozen in his tracks!
"Coward." Calvin snorted coldly as he walked over to pick up Belle and walked towards the Hummer.
Martin watched as Calvin took Belle away.
"Where are you taking me?" Feeling the pain, Belle gritted her teeth, but couldn't help but be curious what he was up to.
Calvin's face was expressionless as he shoved her into the rear seat and started the car. Looking at Belle's pained face in the reversing mirror, he asked mockingly, "Are you upset that I took you from your first love?"
What the hell is this! As Belle listened to his sarcastic and mocking voice, her heart was helpless.
Since when did Martin become her first love? It was sad for her that he was so good at speculation, but whenever he saw something, he would imagine it to be infinitely nasty.
"So I am right." Calvin mocked with cold words seeing that she did not utter a word.
Belle was too lazy to bother with him, rubbing her feet with her head down with a frown.
"What's the point of messing up with men? You deserve it." Calvin's words were harsher.
With anger and rage in her heart, Belle said loudly, "Stop the car and put me down. I want to drive back by myself."
Calvin's face was full of indifference, pretending not to hear her, not taking her words seriously at all.
Belle was determined to get off the car. Now that Martin was gone, she wasn't afraid anymore, not to mention the fact that she had to rush home to see her mother.
"Do you hear me? Stop the car." She spoke out loud again.
