Chapter 325 Earthquake Zone


    A yearter.


    "A sudden earthquake rmed everyone. Almost overnight, the news media was stered with the


    coverage of the earthquake."


    "Regardless of which channel was switched to, or which website was clicked into, the images were all


    reced with a solid, grey-colored background."


    The high-intensity earthquake had almost destroyed everything in S City.


    In the living room of Fragrance Garden.


    Calvin was apanying Hudson and Paige at dinner.


    "Calvin, the earthquake is a natural disaster. The Harvey Group is arge grouppany. Have you


    prepared anything for this? After stuffing a mouthful of omelette into his mouth, Hudson remembered


    the current situation and asked seriously."


    "After gulping down the almond milk, Calvin smiled and said gently, ""Don''t worry, Dad. We are a well-


    knownpany and wouldn''t skimp on any donation. Last night, I asked the mid-level executives of


    thepany to bring ten thousand tents and a lot of food, as well as a hundred million dors of funds,


    to the scene. They should have arrived by now."""


    "Good, well done. Hudson''s face revealed a smile of appreciation. ""You''re a public figure. There are


    many people watching you. Your every move will affect the reputation of the Harvey Group. Also, a


    great entrepreneur must have a heart of his own. He needs to know how to repay society, save lives,


    and heal injuries. Only then will such a group have a sense of humanity. Only then will people praise it.


    Admiration is the only way for such an enterprise to be epted by everyone and go further."""


    "He put his spoon down, with a serious look on his face. Although his voice was warm, it contained an


    earnest expectation."


    "The Harvey Group had been standing strong for a hundred years. Not only did their heirs work hard,


    but they also had a profound spiritual and cultural foundation. Of course, this also included the


    contribution to society."


    "Upon hearing these words, Calvin was struck by a thought. He recalled the incident at the banquet on


    the ind in the center of the city the year before. When Lexie was about to chase away the children of


    the welfare home, Belle had protected them. Her face was filled with anger as she said those words.


    Every word she said was reasonable, and each of them touched the hearts of the people."


    "On that day, in order to control Lexie, he hadn''t protected her openly but supported her in the dark.


    Eventually, she''d seeded in keeping those children, and without a hitch, held a charity event at the


    banquet. Part of the donations received had gone straight into the welfare home, which also helped


    fund those children''s education."


    "On that day, she''d stood on the magnificent stage. Although she''d worn in clothes and without any


    makeup, her charisma was extraordinary at that moment, catching everyone''s attention. She definitely


    wouldn''t lose to Lexie, who was adorned with all the jewels and treasures on her body."


    "Such a beautiful woman, whom he loved deeply, had left with his child for a year and a half. There was


    no news about her at all."


    He suddenly felt sore in his heart and could not eat anything anymore.


    "Dad, Mom, enjoy your meal. I''m done. He put down his spoon and went to the living room sullenly. He


    sat on the sofa with a depressed face."


    "Calvin, eat more. Paige saw that he had only taken a few sips of almond milk and not eaten breakfast.


    Her heart ached and she hastily stopped him."


    Let him go. Hudson nced at Paige and said tly.


    "Hudson, I only have one son, Calvin. Look at him. In the past year or so, he has worked hard and did


    not speak or smile. It''s obvious that he was unhappy. Looking at him, my heart feels as if it is stung by


    hundreds of bees. Paige thought that Calvin had changed into a different person in the past year. He


    would barely speak. His heart weighed down with sorrow. He barely even ate anything."


    "Her son was a man with such a halo on him, and he could get whatever he desired. However, he had


    never been truly happy before. How could she ever feel at ease when he was like this?"


    "Only now do you know how to feel sorry for him? If you had known it would be like this, why didn''t you


    help him to keep an eye on Belle? Hudson was furious when he heard Paige''sint."


    "She only knew how to pity her son. If she hadn''t been there to fan the mes of trouble, would that


    woman, Lexie, have been able to take advantage of the situation and slipped in? Would so many things


    have happened afterwards?"


    "At the thought of this, his face darkened and he mmed his spoon heavily on the table."


    Paige''s face was pale. Her eyes were full of tears in an instant.


    "No matter what I say, you would bring that up to lecture me. I am still his mother no matter what had


    happened. Everything I did, I did it for him. Looking back at those years, if it weren''t for your illness, I


    wouldn''t have lost my mind and wouldn''t have made the wrong judgment. Paige wiped her tears, with


    grievance and unwillingness on her face."


    "There was nothing I could do about my sickness, but you, you didn''t know right from wrong, barking up


    at the wrong trees. You always liked to interfere in Calvin''s affairs and made his life a mess. Think


    about it, if you didn''t support Lexie in the dark, would she have seeded? Hudson''s face was


    forbidding. ""Until now, you should correct your poor habit of favoring the rich. When a person lives to


    this age, they should often reflect on their own, instead of blindly favoring one side. If you look at your


    own son and feel sorry for him, how about another person''s daughter?"""


    "Paige didn''t know what to say. Knowing that she was in the wrong, she lowered her head and wiped


    her tears."


    "Have you ever thought about how much in pain Belle is? Her father was framed and killed, and her


    mother was paralyzed. The only family she could rely on was her husband. Her husband didn''t love


    her, and her mother-inw often made trouble for her, and even some other women came to her house


    to steal her husband. If it were you, what would you do? As long as you still have a conscience, you


    should pRhys for her forgiveness every day. Don''t love your son only, but also his wife as well. If it were


    any other woman, she would nevere back to this family again. Hudson continued to criticize her.


    The more he said, the more weight he put behind his words."


    "Because of this, in the one year or more since he had woken up, he was almost cold to Paige, and he


    was absolutely dissatisfied with her performance in the whole process."


    "Paige had received a lot of criticism from Hudson in this year. So, of course, her life was not any


    better."


    "Hudson, it''s been so many years. Am I such a heartless woman? You have to put yourself in my


    shoes. In my eyes, my son and this family are the most important things. What''s more, I was none the


    wiser at that time. So, you can''t me me for all this, alright? She wiped her tears with a tissue and


    could not speak."


    "Don''t me you? Have you seen the consequences of what you did? Your daughter-inw has left a


    Richard family''s descendant, and she is unwilling to enter our house ever again. Have you ever thought


    about how a woman lives with a baby inside her? Can you imagine how hard it is for a woman to raise


    her child alone? What you did had ultimately hurt our Richard family''s bloodline. Hudson''s voice was


    cracking up."


    "Tears streamed down Paige''s face as she sat there,pletely at a loss."


    "That year, she had known that Belle was pregnant at the family meeting. When she''d heard that Lexie


    actually needed ten million dors to get Bill to get rid of the child in Belle''s belly, she''d almost fainted."


    "She had never thought that Lexie would be so vicious and heartless. She just thought that she loved


    Calvin and was perhaps too jealous. Seeing that she was carrying Calvin''s child, she''d yielded to her


    demands again and again, but she would never have imagined that there would be such a shameful


    and ugly truth hidden beneath her facade. At that moment, she''d been shocked and scared, and she''d


    regretted everything she did. At that moment, she had thought that, as long as Belle came back, she


    would definitely dote on her like her own daughter. Nevertheless, she never came back. It looked like


    she should be extremely disappointed with this family now."


    "Otherwise, how could a woman rather struggle to raise the child alone than to go back to her


    husband''s home?"


    "However, even so, her fault was not unforgivable! Plus, now her husband''s dissatisfaction with her had


    made her heartbroken."


    Calvin listened to the row between Paige and Hudson and felt even more upset.


    "These days, they were often at each other''s throats. His father often scolded his mother, and his


    mother often shed tears, which annoyed him."


    "Sitting on the sofa, he casually turned on the wide-screen TV on the wall and raised the volume of the


    sound, covering up the annoying sound and focusing on the TV."


    "The TV was all gRhys, and all the shots were live broadcasts of the earthquake scene. From time to


    time, all kinds of rescue personnel and reporters sent messages."


    "Suddenly, the TV screen turned to a small town, and the radio yer was sadly broadcasting the


    news. This was a school in a poor mountainous area. Due to the earthquake, the school had copsed,


    and many students were still buried deep in the debris. As the men and women of the nearby viges


    had gone out to work, most of them were children who stayed behind. There were only a few teachers


    left in the school, and this vige was far away from the rescue team, so it was very remote. Now the


    children were buried in the debris pile without anyone to rescue them. It was an emergency."


    Calvin felt an indescribable sense of heaviness in his heart.

    "The images stayed on the school, pRhysing for the rescue outside."


    "Suddenly, in front of the already copsed building, within a pile of gRhys debris, a charming figure


    appeared in front of the camera. It was a woman who was shouting anxiously. One could vaguely see


    her mouth opening and closing, waving towards a reporter."


    "The camera gradually moved toward her. It was a face that couldn''t be seen clearly. The mottled mud


    was smeared on her face, and vague tear stains could be seen. However, the anxiety on her face and


    the despair and sadness in her eyes were so clear."


    "Calvin couldn''t help but to sit up and stare at that face. In the blurry image, the pain and despair in his


    eyes were grabbing at his heart, and his breath was almost going to stop."


    "Although the image was too blurry and the sky was too dim to see her face clearly, her charming figure


    was fixed in the mind of Calvin, shaking him to the point that he leapt to his feet."


    This figure was too familiar. Calvin was almost certain that this woman was the Belle he had been


    looking for.


    He quickly fished out his mobile phone and dialled Aron''s phone number.


    "Aron, be swift, get a helicopter. Send the Grand Xeqint to Fisher Town in S City with me. Be quick. He


    paused the TV on the camera for a second and came to a firm decision. ""Also, bring 500 tents and


    food."""


    "After giving out this order, he ran out quickly."
