"Mr. Hudson, don't say that. I'm also very ashamed. What happened three years ago has caused you to be in coma for so long." Belle recalled the terrible situation three years ago and lowered her head uneasily.
"No, child, that was none of your business at all. You were also framed. At that time, when I knew the conspiracy, I was so angry. I regretted that I looked down on you before and didn't give you the respect you deserve, but everything was too late. They still succeeded." The look in Hudson’s eyes was anger and helplessness. The expression on his face was so heavy. He seemed to be caught in terrible memories.
Belle didn't quite understand what she heard, so she just stood there.
"Mr. Hudson, can you tell me everything? What is the conspiracy?" She suddenly crouched down, looked up at him, and pleaded earnestly.
"Yeah." Hudson nodded and smiled gently at her, "Belle, I just want to tell you everything today."
Belle's heart tightened. She looked at him nervously.
"Belle, do you still remember what I said to you the day before the incident three years ago? I met you in the garden of Fragrance Garden that day, and I asked you to come to my study at ten o'clock the next day.” Hudson asked while recalling.
Belle only thought about it for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly.
"Child, until that day did I know about the conspiracy. I wanted to stop it, so I asked you to come to the study to find me the next day, in order to let you avoid that time, but it was a step too late. They knew it and still did that stuff to you in advance." Hudson said, "I feel a little regretful when I think about it now. Why didn't I find it sooner? It made you suffer for so many years. I'm really sorry for you."
Hudson stopped and remained silent when he spoke here.
Although Belle was sad, she still couldn't understand it, but Hudson looked so sad, so she could only comfort him, "Mr. Hudson, don't worry. All this is life, and I can’t escape it. Since others planned it for a long time, it was hard to escape. Even if I escape it that time, I’ll encounter similar things in the future. All in all, it won’t make me feel better. But evil can’t overcome righteousness. I finally moved on. If I hadn’t experienced these hardships, maybe now I would be just an ordinary woman, let alone become a car designer. I’ve already figured it out.”
These words made Hudson's eyes light up. He cheered up.
"You really are good and wise. I'm really relieved that you can think this way. Calvin is so lucky that he can get married with you. It's just that..." His eyes dimmed and he sighed.
"It's that he doesn't deserve you, doesn't know how to cherish you and doesn't deserve to have you."
Belle smiled lightly and comforted, "Calvin is very capable. He is really smart and promising in his career. He will be an outstanding entrepreneur in the future. Don't worry about that."
"No, a person is not perfect if he can't handle his family or his own emotional problems just by being smart and capable. If he loses you, it will be his loss. Even if he succeeds in the future, he will not be happy." Hudson's face was heavy. He shook his head thoughtfully in denial.
Belle smiled wryly, dropped her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Hudson, you think highly of me. I have no family background. I'm not worthy of being Mrs. Harvey, let alone help Harvey Corp. I still have the self-knowledge."
Speaking of which, she turned her head a little guiltily and just looked at the ground.
"No, Belle, don't think like that. You're really embarrassing our family if you think like this." Hudson was ashamed, "Only a family without strength would think of taking advantage of a woman's family. Such a family won’t go far. You have to believe in Calvin. He is a man, and he definitely disdains this relationship in this respect." Having said that, Hudson looked down at Belle and asked seriously, "Belle, do you really think Lexie suits Calvin?"
Belle felt sad. She could understand Hudson's words, but facts spoke louder than words. Now, it was not the time to argue about this. She knew what to do. Then she quickly nodded, "Mr. Hudson, now Calvin has to marry Lexie. The situation is like this. If he doesn't marry her, the Harvey family will be hit hard. What's more, Lexie comes from a famous family. She can be worthy of Calvin. The most important thing is... that she is already pregnant with Calvin’s child."
The scene of Calvin holding Lexie's hand and appearing intimately on the central island popped into Belle’s mind. The two of them were indeed well-matched. This was a powerful marriage, and it was also an excellent match. Besides, Calvin didn’t hate Lexie so much now.
"Belle, silly child, you are the daughter-in-law of our family. At first, I was also very disgusted by my mother's arrangements, thinking that she would use the privileges of the feudal patriarch to arbitrarily interfere in Calvin's marriage, which would ruin his lifelong happiness. But later I saw it clearly, and I also understood her ideas. She had already seen everything clearly, but when I understood it, it was too late." Hudson corrected Belle’s words with a heavy heart, feeling very complicated.
