"Belle, he murmured. ""I was just kidding. Don't worry, you and Jerry are very important to me. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. I will ensure that both of you live a happy and comfortable life. Trust me."" He held her tightly."
Alright. Belle broke into a smile and hugged him tightly.
What about you? What did you want to tell me? He locked her in an embrace and whispered into her ears.
"Looking abashed, Belle smiled and said, ""To be frank, it's exactly what I've said just now. Harvey Group is such a successful business. You must protect it well. Don't you think about handing it over to me. I won't allow it."""
"Is that all you want to say? It looks like you can read my mind. You do understand me well. Calvin grinned. ""Don't worry, I promise you. You must promise me as well to be strong in the future no matter what happens. Is that okay for you?"" "
"Sure. Belle agreed instantly. As long as he was by her side, she would be strong, no matter what happened. She was sure of this. "
"That's great. Let's have dinner, honey. Calvin held her hand and they walked into the dining hall. "
"Have some mushroom soup. The rest are almost done. Belle filled his bowl with his favorite mushroom soup and said gently, ""Come home earlier in the future. It's not good for your digestive system to have dinner so late."" "
"Yes, honey. Calvin gulped down the mushroom soup and agreed. However, Belle knew that he was not being serious. He was mostly busy at work. There was no way he could return Tristany to have dinner. She sighed. To achieve glory, there will always be sacrifices. In order to succeed, a person must bear the responsibilities. "
"To everyone's dismay, a disaster occurred. "
Nobody had foreseen it.
"Belle was carefully reviewing the documents submitted by the respective departments in her office. Judging from the records, the company was developing well and it met her expectations. "
"When it was almost ten o'clock, she stood up, poured a glass of water for herself and slowly paced back and forth in the room."
"Calvin had gone out to meet a potential client this morning. The other party was a shareholder of a big company. Hence, he had left Tristany. "
"Ever since Belle came to work, she was in charge of the company's internal affairs. This really saved Calvin a lot of trouble."
"After gulping down a few glasses of water, Belle looked out of the window as she absorbed the scenery. "
"Two years ago, she returned, intending to get revenge on Harvey Group. However, things had changed. She was now Calvin's wife and they were madly in love. It truly surprised her how things turned out. "
"Back then, she loathed Calvin. Now, she could not take her mind off him. She was always concerned about his well-being, and her heart ached whenever he was exhausted or ravenous. It was peculiar indeed. "
"She learnt that even if a couple got into a misunderstanding the day before, it could always be resolved by the next day. This was true love and there was no logic behind it. "
Thinking of Calvin put a smile on her face and she shook her head.
"Ms. Morris, I have some bad news. Yuri dashed into the office. Belle had never seen her in such a state of panic."
What's the matter? Calm down. Belle's heart sank. She frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Ms. Morris, a group of people have gathered at the front desk and they demanded to see Calvin, Yuri said in a panic. ""They took out their identity cards and showed the security guards when they enquired about their identities. It scared the wits out of the guards."" "
What?
"Belle's heart raced and she had a bad feeling about this. She asked right away, ""Who are they?"""
"Just as Yuri was about to reply, the sound of hurried footsteps approached them. A cold and overbearing voice rang. ""Where's Mr. Harvey? Ask him to see us."" "
"Yuri panicked when she heard what they said. Flustered, she cried, ""This is bad. Ms. Morris, it's them. They are here."" "
Let's not jump to conclusions. Go and greet them. I'll be there in a second. Belle forced herself to calm down as she instructed Yuri.
Yuri nodded and left the office right away.
It's nice to meet you. Mr. Harvey has gone out for a business meeting this morning and is currently not in his office. May I know why you wish to meet him? Yuri came out of the office and asked politely.
"Who else can we talk to? Ask him or her to see us immediately. Someone interrupted and his demeanour was cold and overbearing, as if he was issuing a command. "
"Oh, okay, sure, please wait a moment. I'll go and enquire about this. Yuri's voice trembled as she forced a smile. "
Belle stood by the door and heard every word of the conversation.
