"I never expected you to be peaceful and disciplined, but now you are staying in my company, yet you are having an affair with my biggest rival. Do you know the impact if word gets out? I'm telling you, I don't need to be saved by a lowly woman like you. Don’t think I will be graceful to what you have done." Calvin was almost gnashing his teeth, but his words broke Belle’s heart.
"You bastard." She clenched her teeth and spoke out with hatred, "Calvin, I didn't expect you to be such a shallow and vulgar man."
What was wrong with her? Rhys helped her in her distress, without him, she could have become one of the world's top designers.
Where was Calvin when she was in America with no money, when she was sad and disappointed? Didn't he have a beautiful woman with him and had forgotten about her?
What's wrong with Rhys coming to see her when she's injured today? It's not like she's done anything wrong to Harvey Corp, let alone divulged secrets to him, and as a designer for Harvey Corp, she's doing her best!
Who is he to insult her?
She burst into tears, drenching in sadness.
In that moment of danger, she had rushed to his defence without hesitation, and now she was rewarded with such vicious words and even disdain from him.
How much her heart must be hurting!
"I'm shallow and vulgar?" Calvin sneered out, "So Rhys is noble? And your first love is decent?"
The mention of Martin and Rhys made his heart even more furious.
That night at university, he stood behind her and saw Martin hugging her and making out with his own eyes, the two of them cuddling in the dark and having sex, all in front of him.
Then she turned out to be his wife, while her virginity has been given to that damned Martin.
He did not want to pity such a woman, even if she had been injured to save him.
He slammed the door hard and took off.
On the 88th floor of the International Triumphal Court, the atmosphere in the spacious and luxurious office is somewhat dull and silent.
Calvin was reading a report in detail with a frown.
Aron stood by his side respectfully.
It took Calvin a long time to finish reading this report on Belle's record of life in America.
The report is detailed, yet there is nothing particularly remarkable about it.
It records Belle's study of automotive design in America alone, and it is clear that she went to Atkinson Corp only for the past six months, and spent the rest of the time studying intensively.
She worked hard and studied half-time, with no slanders around her.
Now he remembered that when Belle stayed at Harvey's house, he had never given her a penny, thinking that she ate and lived at Harvey's house, while at that time he only had hatred for her, and never thought of giving her a penny.
And how did she spend all those years in America?
He flipped through the pages one by one, and finally found Belle's experience of looking around for work and her chance encounter with Rhys because she had no money.
His fingers are trembling.
Rhys appeared by her side at such a difficult time. If she had love and dependence on him, it was only normal, but where was he as a husband when she was in trouble?
Who was he to accuse her, who was he to insult her!
Wasn't it his hand that pushed her out of the way for her to accept Rhys and for them to have such a tacit understanding?
