"Your Lennox, he said that she left with you. Calvin answered, his tone indignant and righteous."
"So, just based off on that, you've become certain that I'm the one who took your woman away? Rhys asked with a look of disdain. ""First of all, Jen is not your woman. By law or in life, I won't agree to it. Secondly, yes, she did come out of the villa with me, but we went our separate ways after that. I went to the airport and she went to the train station. How would I know where she was headed to?"""
"Rhys shrugged, shook his head, and spread out his hands."
"A glimmer of starlight flashed across Calvin's darkened eyes. Soon, it was enveloped in an even more intense gloominess."
"You're saying that she didn't stay with you at all, and that she didn't leave with you? The joy that had just surged into his heart was quickly replaced by worry. Belle really didn't stay with Rhys. This idea once again vindicated Hudson's judgment of Belle and also proved that his guess was correct."
"The child in Belle's belly had not the slightest tie to Rhys. Otherwise, she would not have left alone."
"Based on her personality, she would never stay with him. She was pregnant with a baby. How could she be a liability to a man's reputation?"
"Thinking of this, the joy in Calvin's heart superseded his hatred for Rhys. The child in Belle's belly must be Calvin's."
"I would've rather she stayed with me, and I'm willing to take care of her for the rest of my life. However, her heart doesn't belong to me, and I can do nothing about it. The smile on Rhys's face was lined with helplessness and sorrow."
"Calvin's hand, gripping at the sofa, trembled faintly."
Has she never loved you? His voice was a little hoarse as he asked the confusion in his heart with difficulty.
"Hmph. Rhys sneered after a pause, his voice dripping with anger. ""It turns out that the man Jen loves is still such a fool. No wonder she would rather live alone with her child, wandering in her hometown than to come back to you. At the very least, it was your lack of faith in her."""
"What do you mean? Calvin tightened his grip on the skin of the sofa, as if it was going to be ripped off by him."
"Did you really think that Jen was going to be with me? She begged me to put on a show, just to make you give up on her. She did this to prevent Tristan and Lexie from bringing down your Harvey Group. Rhys put down the coffee in his hand. He was never a man of fickle temper, but at the moment, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were staring at Calvin, as if he was going to burn him. ""In order to prevent Lexie from harming your father, grandmother, and the Harvey Group, she negotiated with Lexie and voluntarily chose to leave you and handed over the inheritance of the Harvey Manor. She only hoped that Lexie could spare you. Even after telling you the truth, haven't you figured everything out?"""
"Negotiation? Did she deliberately make him give up on her? Calvin's face began to lose color. He really didn't know about these things, and Lexie had never said anything about this."
"However, his father was right. Without her cooperation, it would've been impossible to bring down Tristan in such a short time."
"At this point, his mind was completely transparent. A great sense of guilt and heartache rushed to his mind. He stood up and turned around to leave."
What's wrong? Are you leaving just like that? Don't you have any further questions? Rhys asked sarcastically.
"Calvin paused for a moment and suddenly laughed. Similarly, he said sarcastically, ""Since she doesn't like you and doesn't love you, surely she wouldn't even let you know where she is after she left. She hates me, and now that she's left me, she would hide her whereabouts from all those who may possibly know where she is. Of course, that includes you. There is absolutely no way to know her whereabouts now. Since that's the case, there's no need for any of us to waste our breath."""
