Chapter 297 Fight
"Belle, let's go over there." Rhys said to Belle gently until Calvin took Lexie and the others past her.
Belle nodded. Only then did she realize that she had been clasping Rhys's hand tightly and sweat
dripped from her palm. She was flustered, then she hurriedly let go of his hand and panicked. When
her eyes met the gentle and encouraging smile in Rhys’ eyes, she felt so warm, then she smiled
embarrassedly.
Suddenly, she felt someone glaring at her.
A cold light shot straight at her. When she looked up, the cold eyes disappeared again. When she
looked again, she saw Calvin and Lexie standing on the high platform of the central island, a very eye-
catching place.
Was the cold light just now his?
Belle wasn't sure, but Calvin could see them there. For a while, Belle thought that the possibility was
very small. After all, it seemed that such indifference between them should not exist.
"Miss Morris, please come to this address at eight o'clock tonight." While Belle was thinking about it,
she heard a gentle and polite voice beside her. When she looked up in shock, she saw a man in a
black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. He was standing beside her, holding an invitation in both
hands, bowed his head, and handed it to her respectfully.
"You are..." Belle looked at him in surprise. The young man in front of her had a dignified and serious
face, a humble and polite demeanor. He kept a certain distance from others, but he was so courteous.
Such a man was by no means an ordinary servant. It reminded Belle of those bodyguards in black suits
beside the president.
His behavior seemed well-trained, which was modest and courteous. He was not that kind of person
who worked for ordinary people, but his face was very unfamiliar. Belle confirmed that she had never
seen him before.
"Miss, please come to the appointment on time. Everything will be understood by then. I have to go
first." The young man bowed his head again and said. After he said and bowed his head, he turned and
left.
Belle watched his figure disappear on the road of Harvey Mansion, and then came back to her senses.
She looked at the invitation in her hand, and put it into the pocket of her clothes after thinking about it.
It would be eight o'clock in the evening. But now it was only morning, so there was still time. Let her
think carefully before deciding whether to go or not.
On the central island, there were all kinds of pastries and champagne in the rectangular dining table,
which smelt good.
Belle looked around. Rhys was gone. Then she glanced at the crowd. It turned out that someone pulled
him over to chat. Only then did she remember that when he walked away, he seemed to say to her,
“Belle, wait for me here. I'll come back soon.”
Belle shook her head and smiled. She was restless all morning. What was she thinking about!
In fact, this New Year's banquet had nothing to do with her anymore. Thinking that she would leave
tomorrow and maybe she would never come back, she felt so sad.
"Come on, drive all these beggars away." There was a loud screaming over there. Belle was startled,
and looked over, only to see Pola and Esme. A few of them had probably never seen so many delicious
things before, so they wolfed down and were disgusted by Lexie. She was instructing the security
guards to drive them out.
"No, we were invited by Mrs. Harvey." Pola and Esme said timidly when they saw Lexie.
"Mrs. Harvey? I'm standing here, but I've never invited you nasty beggars. Tell you guys, everything
here is of great value. If you break one, you won’t afford it at all. Be wise and get out." When Lexie
heard what they said Mrs. Harvey, she couldn't help but be wicked. Of course she knew who it was.
She was so mad. After speaking viciously, she instructed the security guards to get them all out.
"Don't drive us away. Mrs. Harvey said that she would donate money to our welfare house, and she
would also donate money to let us go to school next year. Please!" Esme was a little older than other
little children. She widened her eyes, clasped her hands together and begged Lexie.
Lexie glanced at her with disgust, and turned her face away coldly, as if she didn't even bother to say a
word.
"Go away! If Mrs. Harvey is unhappy, we’ll demolish your welfare house." Several security guards
rushed over and chased them fiercely.
"Stop." Belle rushed up and yelled at the security guards.
When the security guards looked up and saw it was her, they stopped immediately, but said
embarrassedly, "Mrs. Harvey, that Mrs. Harvey has spoken to drive them away. We can't disobey the
order."
"Hmph." Belle sneered, "I invited them here. There will be a charity donation event soon. How can you Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
drive them away? You guys go away and leave it to me."
When the security guards saw Belle protecting those children, they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Someone is really from the countryside, and even the people she invited are vulgar beggars." Lexie
saw the situation here. Then she walked over and laughed disdainfully.
Belle didn't even look at her, just said coldly, "This New Year's banquet is hosted by me when I was in
charge of the family. I got the consent of Grandma, so the guests I invite can't be driven away at will.
The scheduled activities I set should also be held as usual and cannot be cancelled at will.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to Pola and Esme, then she said, "Come on, I will take you
guys to the side to eat."
After speaking, she led them to the side.
"Stop, Belle." Lexie was annoyed by Belle's attitude of not taking her seriously, and immediately
shouted angrily, forcing a step forward.
"What do you want to do?" Belle turned around, glared at her and asked back.
Belle’s eyes were calm. The light in her eyes was terrifying, scary and inviolable.
Lexie was startled and felt a sense of fear.
"Get these beggars away. I've canceled this event." Lexie calmed down and said sternly.
"Impossible. I invited them, and it must be held as scheduled." Belle firmly met Lexie’s provocative
gaze, confidently.
Lexie suddenly felt helpless. It seemed that it was difficult to win her in terms of momentum.
"Okay, you go and invite Mr. Harvey to come." Lexie was a little panicked, but she still said to the
security guard beside her calmly.
It seemed that it would be difficult for her to gain the upper hand in the battle with Belle, which made
her very dissatisfied. Today, she must stand firm, and only in this way could she establish her prestige
and self-confidence. After all, she had Calvin's support behind her now.
After a while, Calvin arrived in a hurry.
"What happened again?" Calvin saw Lexie and Belle standing together and staring at each other. He
felt headache.
"Calvin." When Lexie saw Calvin, her eyes turned red immediately. She threw herself into his arms,
and said coquettishly, "This woman used her power to oppress me. You can't let me disgraced in
public."
It was really troublesome.
Calvin glanced coldly at Belle who was standing awe-inspiringly. Her face was full of stubbornness. Her
face was red because of anger, but she was holding a few children from the orphanage. Then Calvin
quickly understood what happened.
"Calvin, the children in these welfare houses are vulgar, and make a mess here. This is Harvey
Mansion, not a shelter. Today, all the guests who came here are famous celebrities. How can these
children be allowed to mix in? This will make the guests unhappy and disrupt the order of the banquet,
and only embarrass Harvey Mansion. Now the media is broadcasting live here in all directions. If this
continues, it will only ruin our banquet this time. This woman is stupid, and she has to get these people
here. What do you think of?" Lexie said to Calvin with confidence, and there were sufficient reasons for
her to resist.
Originally, Belle arranged for Pola, Esme and the others to be in a certain area. Just because Lexie
canceled the benefits yesterday, they were still young, with little knowledge, and no one cared about
them, so they ran around unwittingly. But that didn't really affect anything.
"I don't think so. It has nothing to do with wealth and poverty. Some people look bright, but they are
despicable in their hearts. Although those children have no money, they are kind. Besides, they are still
young. Here, they didn’t get the receptions. Even if they did something wrong, it can't blame entirely on
them. It's not their fault that they don't have money. Rich people should carry forward the spirit of
helping people in need. A wealthy family that is not praised, and a company which doesn’t care about
others, will not go far in the future." At the moment, Belle also responded without showing weakness.
Calvin had already understood their conflicts, then he immediately cleared his voice.
"That's it, Lexie." Calvin had an incomparably gentle smile on his face. His thick and slender eyelashes
fluttered, and his charming eyes shone with a sly light. He put his arms around Lexie's shoulders and
said softly, "Let's go to toast our relatives and friends over there. These children won't eat a lot, so just
let them be here."
"Calvin, are you covering her up like this?" Lexie asked in dissatisfaction. She just stood still.
‘Calvin, if you let Lexie drive these children away today and cancel this event, I will make a clean break
with you, so that you will never see your child.’
Belle stared at Calvin's face, swore silently, and put her hand on her belly. The look in her eyes was so
determined.
Calvin sneezed abruptly. He hurriedly took a tissue and wiped it, only to feel his right eyelid twitching.
He touched his hair with his hand and looked at Belle who was standing in front of him. Seeing the
unfriendly expression on her face, he thought to himself, ‘You must have been scolding me just now.
You betrayed me. Don’t you feel embarrassed to ask me to help you?’
Thinking of this, Calvin just smiled and put his big hand on Lexie's waist. His tone was soft but with a
hint of coldness. He said as if persuading and commanding.
"Lexie, you also know that today's banquet is attended by famous people. It's not good to leave them
out. Driving these children away in front of the media will make people think that our family is too petty,
and bully the weak. The loss outweighs the gain. In fact, it is not harmful. I will meet one of your
requirements today as the compensation for you, okay?"
Again! He indeed knew how to coax women! If the person he fooled wasn’t Lexie, Belle would definitely
applaud him. Men just used sweet words to capture a woman's heart!
Sure enough. Hearing it, Lexie surrendered. She blushed and smiled brightly.
"Really? Calvin." She asked sweetly while leaning against him.
"Yeah, baby."
The two walked towards the other side while talking intimately.
Belle breathed a sigh of relief. She finally saved these children.
