"A woman burst into tears in front of her husband, attempting to get her husband's sympathy by acting pathetically. Belle felt like she might puke in disgust. She felt a lump in her throat and she felt incredibly uncomfortable. "
She shot her a cold glare.
"Belle, how about this? You can do whatever you want. We should not allow those who don't know the rules to remain in the company. That's a breach of integrity. After hearing what she said, Calvin understood immediately what happened and spoke his mind. "
Belle raised her eyebrows and gave him an enigmatic smile as she glanced at Liya.
"At this moment, Liya's face grew dispirited."
"How about this? You can leave your design over here. I will let you know my thoughts once I have looked through them. You may leave now. Remember to go through the company's code of conduct. I hope that you will not repeat your mistakes in the future, Belle said lightly. All Belle did was to look at her and smile. She did not hold a grudge against her. "
"Was that all? Liya was a little surprised. She thought that Belle would drive her out of the company in front of Calvin. After all, she was trying to seduce Mr. Harvey a moment ago. However, to her surprise, Belle did not sack her, nor did she punish her. She let her go even after Calvin said that she could do as she wished. "
"For the first time, she felt that Belle was not as simple as she thought. She did not have a high social status, connections, or a powerful family background but she was able to make Calvin fall in love with her and become his wife. She must be someone very smart, with a high EQ and IQ. "
"The thought crossed her mind and she decided to mask the hatred she felt towards her. Instead, she forced a smile and bowed, showing that she was grateful and said, ""Thank you, Ms. Morris, for letting the matter slide. I'll take my leave first."" "
"Sure, you may leave, Belle said indifferently with a smile on her face. "
Belle watched as she disappeared from sight before she turned around.
"She did not sack her although her mistakes were sufficient for her to do so, as right at the moment, she remembered what Sophia said. She remembered Sophia mentioning that she was filled with guilt for driving the woman and her daughter away. "
It was very likely that Liya was the little girl whom Sophia had mentioned about. Liya was probably the daughter of the woman who followed Evan home and was then driven away from Harvey Manor.
"After considering what Sophia said, she changed her mind. Besides, there was no need to sack her for a mere trifle like this. It was unnecessary. "
"Although the incident had left a bad impression on her, she did not wish to drive her away that easily. "
She had every reason to believe that Liza had ulterior motives for coming to work at Harvey Group. One of them was to seduce her husband.
"It was better to place her somewhere under her direct supervision, than to drive her away and allow her to make a move behind her back, so that she can keep an eye on her and observe what she was plotting. "
Both of them had gone through a lot of ups and downs in the past. She did not believe that Calvin would fall in love with a woman like her.
She found it hard to believe.
"Besides, she wanted to prove that she had not wasted her love and effort on the wrong person. "
"Belle, are you letting her go just like that? Calvin was surprised that Belle did not punish her and let the matter slide so easily. Hence, he couldn't help but to enquire."
"Of course, you have asked me to let her go for your sake. I should at least respect your decision, Belle replied with confidence, raising her head as she laughed."
"No, thanks. I did not ask you to let her stay. Calvin raised his eyebrows and grinned. Ignoring what she said, he stretched out his arms to hug her."
Belle acted immediately and dodged it. She raised her head and looked at him proudly.
"Belle, are you going to give me a piece of your mind again? Calvin gritted his teeth and demanded. His heart yearned for her but he did not succeed in hugging her."
What's the rush? I have something to talk to you about. You'd better be serious. Belle's expression was solemn and she tilted her head as she glanced at him.
What's the matter? Calvin looked at her in puzzlement.
Belle narrowed her eyes as she looked at him. Her gaze was cold. "Tell me the truth. Were you planning on betRhysing me?"
"Calvin was stunned for a moment, and he almost burst into laughter when he saw her expression. "
"My dear wife. I only have eyes for you right now. Nobody else could catch my attention. Why would I betRhys you? Please talk sense, Calvin cried. "
"So, you won't betRhys me even if someone seduces you? Are you sure? Belle's eyes widened as she asked in a more serious tone."
"Of course. Besides, who would dare to seduce me? Everyone in the world knows that I have a gorgeous wife. Who in the world would have the guts to come and seduce me? Do they wish to be humiliated? What an unspeakable twaddle! Calvin teased. "
"Hmph, flattery will get you nowhere. Belle laughed but she continued. ""I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Liya wanted to seduce you. She was quite enthusiastic about it."" "
"Calvin sighed when he heard what she said. He frowned. ""Belle, you hired Liya. You were the one who said that we should keep her. I did not have a say from the start nor do I know what had happened. Even if I knew her in the past, it was all when we were just kids. I barely remember anything. This doesn't mean anything."" "
"Of course it doesn't mean anything. Belle snorted with disdain. ""However, even if you are not interested in her, what would you do if she continues to pester you?"" "
