Chapter 54 Grandma''s Disappointment
"Calvin, I''m really d that you guys can work together and go forward hand in hand." The olddy
continued happily, but then she said, "Calvin, I always hear some bad rumours about you two in the
newspaper, but I want to tell you that, as a man of the limelight, there will be more gossip than ordinary
people, but too much gossip is not good for the stability of the family, and even worse for the Harvey''s
reputation, I think you should know about it."
Sophia''s gaze slowly turned to Calvin, "For so many years, you have med me, but do you
understand my intention now?"
Calvin was confused, and even his expression was stiff.
When Belle went to America three years ago, Grandma knew about it, but she did not explicitly oppose
it, nor did she force him to go to America to retrieve her, but only asked the family to send Ethan gifts
for every New Year, which did not lead to Ethan toe to their doors.
He thought his grandmother had learned of her wrong decision and had stopped forcing them. But the
meaning in these words today was anything but!
Grandma stayed in the house all day, seemingly unconcerned about what was going on outside, but

she knew some things better than anyone.
He couldn''t understand why Grandma hadn''t stopped Belle from going to America, after all these years,
if she really wanted them to be good, it certainly wasn''t wise for the couple to be separated for so long,
and she could have ordered him to bring Belle back, but Grandma didn''t.
Now Grandma''s words made him even more confused.
"It’s been three years, have you grown up?" The olddy held his hand, she knew that her grandson
was shrewd and capable in his career, but he was naive and even confused when it came to his
feelings, so she marry Belle to him.
Years ago, when she first saw Belle, she decided that she was the most suitable for her grandson. But
everything went beyond her imagination, and it had been sour in her heart for these years.
After all, couples have to stay together for the rest of their lives. How can they know each other and
stay together until they grow old without experiencing bumps and bruises?
They will have to go on their own way in the future, which no one can help them with.
But right now, everything is still in the clouds, his grandson is still not enlightened.
"Grandma, I don''t know what you mean." Calvin''s heart was growing panicky, had he grown up? Was
Grandma mocking him for not being mature enough? Or was it a reference to something?
"Calvin, I have heard a lot of bad rumours about you, I hope you can tell me the truth." The olddy''s
eyes were shinning as she asked.
Calvin''s heart became even more flustered.
"Grandma, I ......" he stammered, it seemed that his grandmother must have known about his divorce
from Belle, otherwise she wouldn''t have asked so much.
"So, I won''t even see my granddaughter-inw in the future." As expected, Sophia''s face was filled with
a disappointed expression as she muttered, "It seems that it''s all true. Belle, have you already given up
on my grandson and are choosing someone else? You promised me in front of your father in the
beginning!"
Sophia was full of heartache, her cloudy eyes shining with tears.
Calvin was even more shocked to hear this. Originally he wanted to hide it from her, but the media is
too advanced nowadays and there must be people with ill intentions who purposely want to reveal the
news to her.
The face of Martin floated in front of his eyes. Martin had always been at odds with him, he would not
Miss Dixon an opportunity before his eyes for sure.
At this thought, Calvin was furious. He was the one who had been circling around Belle like a fly, and if
he hadn''t taken away her virginity, he wouldn''t have disliked Belle so much.
The hatred in his heart was stirred up again!
"Grandma, I divorced Belle." Calvin could not suppress the anger in his heart, he admitted in a low
voice, "Grandma, please understand my hardship, I did this because I could not bear it anymore. Have
you ever thought about my feelings? That woman is really not worthy to be my wife, she has been
messing around with various men, you also know that what is written in the newspaper is the truth. She
is now hooking up with Rhys, the biggest rival of our Harvey Corp. We really can''t have such a woman.
Grandma, it was unfair for me that you forced me to marry her, and I have enough suffering in the past
years.”
Calvin looked agitated, taking his grandmother''s hand andining about Belle, while the
uneasiness in his heart was growing infinitely. He didn''t know why he had lost control of his emotions
again, it seemed that whenever that woman was mentioned, his emotions would get out of control, his
originally calm heart would be stirred up, and even his behavior would be inexplicable.
Perhaps deep down he didn''t feel this way, but he didn''t want to admit it now, nor did he want to admit
defeat, otherwise he would be belittled by his grandmother and all his years of persistence would be in
vain.
"Calvin, you really still haven''t grown up." Sophia shook her head and sighed, "Rhys know what a
treasure is and know how to appreciate it, but you, after three years, you are still confused."
"No, Grandma, although I have divorced her, I will not allow her to leave mypany, I understand
what you mean." Calvin stated his position, "And she has also promised now that she wille over to
see you on your birthday."
The olddyughed bitterly as she watched Calvin''s arguing.
"You don’t understand, Calvin, it''s not that I really want to see her. I''m old, what is the point to see
someone else''s daughter-inw? I want to see my daughter-inw. I''ll tell you what, Calvin, I will only
ever recognize Belle as my daughter-inw." Sophia sighed and her words were serious, "Of course,
you don''t have to worry about my feelings, you can remarry any woman you like, but I won''t agree to
any woman you marry living in Harvey Mansion except for Belle. Harvey Mansion is the property left to
me by your grandfather, no one can change that, my words will definitely work."
The olddy had never liked anyone to disobey her, especially when it came to Calvin''s marriage, she
was stubborn. Calvin was convinced of this and he couldn''t help but have a headache.
"Grandma, but this is already a fact, we are already divorced. Please put yourself in my shoes, what
kind of life I have been living all these years? Grandma, I did what you told before, can you consider
me this time?" Calvin''s heart was hard, chaotic, he was nkly pleading.
"That''s what you deserve!" Sophia’s words were sharp.
"Calvin, what I am worried about now is, you won''t be able to see her heart for the rest of your life!" Her
heart throbbed as she looked at Calvin''s hollow expression; He would never understand her bitterness,
unable to see his own heart.
Four years ago, the marriage had made him drift away from her over the years, no longer visiting her
often, and her grandson was growing indifferent to her, which hurt her heart, but she had to persevere,
she couldn''t be so selfish, for it was for his own good!
She thought he would understand her one day, at least he would after this press conference, but she
had waited for the breaking news.
There was really no way out, not only did he ignore her, but he went even further away, was her
arrangement all wrong? Having lived to this age, for the first time she felt the bleakness and
hopelessness of reality.
"Calvin, I don''t expect anything more, you can only go on your own away in the future. I am old now,
and there is really nothing more I can do." The olddy trembled and steadied herself, then with a sigh
of relief, she said in a heavy tone, "In the future, you will choose your own marriage and make your
own decisions, I won''t interfere anymore. But I like Belle, she is already in the family tree of the Harvey
family, and no one can change that. She is my acknowledged granddaughter-inw. You can marry
another woman and have children, but the woman you marry cannot live in the Harvey’s house. You
can start a family outside, but the children live in the Harvey Mansion must have my approval before
they get married."
Calvin was dumbfounded to hear this, and he understood the multiple meanings in these words,.
If that was the case, even if the woman he remarried was legally his wife, she would be nothing on the
ancestral tablets, and on the ancestral tablets of the Harvey family, apart from the divorced Belle, would
he be wifeless for life?
That would mean that any children he had in the future, except for Belle''s, would not have the right to
inherit the Harvey Mansion. Although Calvin had created countless fortunes himself and would not care
about this property, this was after all the ancestral property of the Harvey family, how could he pretend
it did not exist!
In his hand was his grandmother''s hand, slightly cool in temperature, but his heart was colder than his
grandmother''s hand, and he was already in turmoil.
"Grandma, I ......" his nose was blocked and he said, "Grandma, I am grown up and by rights I should
not ask you to worry anymore, I will take care of my own affairs, if I have offended you, please forgive
me."
He bowed his head, like a child who had done something wrong, but his heart was full of mixed
feelings.
"Calvin, no matter what you decide, I will not interfere any more. Don''t worry, I will give you all the
inheritance that belongs to you except for the Harvey Mansion, it is Harvey’s ancestral property and my
only request. I think you should be able to understand, and I believe I will not make it too difficult for
you. Go, do what you want to do."
Calvin stood up nkly, emotionally drained.
