Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 222 Stop Putting on A Show

"Yes, I'm very interested in it." Rosa jumped out of the hanging chair and said happily, "Belle, since

you're in charge of the family, let's make something special. Why don't we hold a special New Year's

dinner party this year?"

Belle smiled. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Interesting! I have to think about it first."

"Great." Rosa was so excited.

"Rosa, of course it's a good thing to hold such a New Year's dinner party, but we also need to ask

Grandma and considerate the expenses of previous years. We can't just rely on our enthusiasm." Belle

laughed. She was cautious.

There was no shortage of money in Harvey Mansion. But it didn’t mean that people here would be

generous. The more such an occasion was, the more it would show that everyone's status was

different. Everyone liked to compete with others in these things.

The things every family got meant their status and rights in Harvey Mansion. If the distribution was

unfair, no matter which links went wrong, it would be bad. Because all these would easily be associated

with the inheritance of Harvey Mansion. So everyone kept their focus on the distribution.

This was troublesome. Rosa was full of interest. As a young man, Belle was also excited.

"Belle, you are thinking too much. If I guess right, Grandma will definitely agree. Now the wealthy

families in A City are doing this. Last year, Maxim spent 10 million to hold a New Year's party to

welcome the New Year. The event was widely reported by the news media at the time. I was in capital

at that time, but I still knew about it. It must be a happy event for everyone to hold such a dinner party."

Rosa was very confident. From her perspective, the current Harvey Mansion was really dead. It really

needed to hold such a unique party.

Belle thought it made senses. She glanced at Rosa sideways, and asked, "If you are interested in this,

please help me throughout the process."

"Of course." Rosa rubbed her face that was a little red from the cold, and said, "I’ll listen to you!"

After speaking, she curtsied to Belle. Seeing it, Belle laughed happily.

"Why are you guys so happy?" Two tall men walked in.

Belle looked up.

Calvin and Albie, two handsome men, one after the other, walked in calmly with dashing paces.

One wore a suit and leather shoes, looking suave. The other wore the most popular royal blue

fashionable woolen coat. His hair was brushed back, revealing his smooth forehead, which was very

handsome.

Albie, why was he here?

Belle was astonished. She looked at him, with doubts in her eyes.

"Hello, Belle." Seeing Belle, Albie walked towards her without hesitation, and stretched out his hand.

He smiled, looking very generous and decent.

"Hello, Mr. Williamson." Belle only hesitated for a while, then stretched out her hand to shake hands

with him.

His hand was very warm. After touching Belle’s cold hands, he raised his eyebrows slightly and shook

hands with her heavily. Looking around the room, he saw the open window. Then he said with concern

and thoughtfulness.

"It's such a cold day. With the windows open, no wonder your hands are so cold."

Belle was a little panicked, withdrew her hands and smiled lightly, "The air is better with the window

open. It won't feel too stuffy after staying for a long time."

It was a perfect answer. With the faint smile on her face and the calm demeanor, Belle didn’t feel

anything wrong at all. But she felt there was a beam of unpleasant light.

Without guessing, she knew who was looking at her.

But she didn't even look at him. She just smiled at Albie, "Albie, what brings you from the capital?"

Albie smiled, "I came to see Grandma and you."

Belle smiled faintly when she heard it.

Rosa sat on the couch and flipped through a magazine in her hand. Then she raised her head and

smiled at Albie, "Hello, Mr. Williamson, I didn't expect us to meet here."

Albie laughed, "Miss Perry, if I knew you were coming to A City, we could come here together. Wouldn't

it be more lively if we come together?"

"No! You are an official, and have important matters. I don't dare to come here with you. I can't bear the

charge of disrupting official affairs." Rosa waved her hand and said. It seemed that they two were very

familiar.

They were all from the capital, and famous families. It was reasonable to be familiar with each other,

which was not surprising.

Belle retreated to the table and sorted out the ledgers just now.

Calvin's face darkened several times.

From beginning to end, Belle didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist.

His face was gloomy. He felt very embarrassed.

"It seems that you are quite interested in being in charge of the family now." After a while, Calvin

approached Belle and said.

Belle didn’t answer.

"You have to be careful. Don't offend anyone. This family is not that easy to manage." Calvin cleared

his throat, and then said again.

"Do you think I'd be willing to be in charge of the family? Who cares your family?" Belle closed the

ledgers and said coldly.

When she closed the ledgers, a cold wind hit Calvin's face. Calvin was already embarrassed. The wind

was like a slap on his face, making him a little angry.

This woman was so disrespectful to him. She was so rude.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Calvin saw that Albie was talking and laughing with Rosa. They didn't

notice him at all, so he felt that he wasn’t so embarrassed.

"Belle, do you have to do this to me?" Calvin lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.

"What's wrong?" Belle looked up at him, feeling confused, "Mr. Harvey, what are you talking about? Am

I familiar with you? Do we have a good relationship? Why do you think so?"

The repeated questioning made Calvin unable to answer.

Was their relationship bad? They slept together and had sex for so many days. But she was denying it

like this!

"Belle, at least we can get along well." Calvin said.

"What?" Belle suddenly laughed, which was a bit bleak, "Don't be so pretentious. How dare I get along

well with you, Mr. Harvey."

Belle's smile was stiff and cold. She stared straight out of the window.

"What do you mean?" Calvin asked, always feeling that this woman was angry with him today and was

colder than usual.

Belle looked at the plum blossoms outside the window. The plum blossoms stood proudly, looking very

beautiful.

Belle thought whether she could let go of the Harvey family. But she couldn’t.

"What's the matter with you?" Calvin frowned. Belle's little face was pale with yellow, not much vitality.

A trace of pain flashed in her eyes. Calvin felt heartbroken. Then he asked in a daze.

Belle suddenly smiled, turned around, and gave him a cold look, "You bailed Martin, right? You once

said that he would never come out. How do you explain it now? Is it more hypocritical than this?"

Belle glared at him fiercely. Then she didn’t look at him. She just picked up the ledgers and walked

towards the couch on the other side.

Just asking such a question made her feel so uncomfortable in her stomach.

Early this morning, Belle heard from the servant at Harvey Mansion that Martin was back! It was for

Rosa, right?

In fact, not many people in Harvey Mansion knew that Martin was detained. Except for Grandma and

Evan and his wife, others didn’t know it.

Rosa came here. Martin didn't show up. Let alone Rosa was curious, even the servants were guessing

where he went, especially when Martin didn’t show up at the family feast, which was even mor weird.

Calvin was stunned for a while. He finally figured out why Belle treated him so coldly

She really misunderstood him!

If it was possible, he didn’t want Martin to come out at this time. These were not what he wanted.

But in her heart, Martin was his younger brother, and was closer to him than her. She had reasons to

think so.

But in fact, she didn't understand him.

The person who was closest to him was her.

But she didn't understand him and didn't believe him.

If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have investigated this case at all.

But since he investigated it, he wouldn’t get anyone wronged. This was also his principle, but Belle

didn’t understand.

Calvin really couldn't explain it.

"Belle, you misunderstood me. I didn’t bail Martin." Calvin followed her, sat down beside her, and

explained seriously. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Stop putting on a show in front of me! Who else would it be if it wasn't you?" Belle looked down at the

ledgers.

"You!" Calvin was a little disheartened, "You’re unwilling to believe me, right?"

"Do I have any reason to believe you? Who else can to do this except you?" Belle's eyes flashed with

pain and ridicule.

For a while, Calvin was speechless.

He didn't know either.

"Don't think I don't know that my dad's case could have been closed in the first place, but you didn’t

agree. Don’t you just want to let Martin come out?" Belle's eyes were red. She lowered her head.

"Belle, do you actually think so?" Calvin opened his mouth wide in surprise, staring at her in disbelief.

There were a lot of doubts about Martin's case. Calvin had no rights to close it. Finley was unwilling,

and legal procedures didn’t allow it. This was a matter of a person’s life. Without solid evidence, how

could the case be easily closed?

But Belle misunderstood him, or she didn't understand it at all, so she blamed it all on him.

Just then Ruth came over.

"It's so lively here today. It seems that everything is different after Mrs. Harvey is in charge of the

family." Ruth smiled.

"Ruth." Seeing Ruth coming, they all smiled politely at Ruth.

"Ma’am is awake. If you guys want to see her, just come in." Ruth said very politely.

Calvin could only walk in with Albie.

Belle and Rosa were talking with Ruth.

As soon as Rosa spoke out about the idea of holding the New Year's dinner party, Ruth was full of joy.

She said very happily, "The idea is so good! Ma’am will like it."
