Chapter 351 A Decisive Refusal
"Oh, ording to what you said, this appears to be Belle''s fault. She has cast aside her dignity, isn''t
that so? Kate asked contemptuously, her tone bing more serious. ""If she had the choices, would
she be willing to give up on her beloved man, abandon her family, and wander around all alone? Who
would be so foolish to the point that they take that for granted? What''s more, at that time, you had
already divorced. What reason did she have to stay with you? And please don''t tell me to my face that
you are not divorced!"""
"Calvin lowered his head, guilt sweeping over him. "
"Plus, I''ve heard that Lexie once spent ten million dors to get rid of the child in Belle''s womb. In that
case, anyone would tremble with fright upon hearing the news, much less my own daughter. She''s just
an ordinary woman. Is it wrong for her to protect herself? You said that you loved Belle. Then, let me
ask you. Since you loved her, four years ago, why did you force her to wander around across the
globe? Why would you allow such a nasty woman like Lexie to stay in Harvey Manor and dere that
you wanted to marry her? Wasn''t your every move hurting Belle? Kate''s eyebrows were raised high,
her face full of doubt and coldness."
"Mom, I should solemnly apologize to her and apologize to you too, but my hands were tied back then.
Please forgive me, but I promise that this kind of situation will never happen again. Calvin felt extremely
awful in his heart. He could not face Kate''s usation, nor could he justify himself."
"Your hands were tied? Now this is a good excuse. I''ll give you that. Kate sneered. ""I can assure you
that in the future, more difficulties will emerge. Does it mean that as long as there are these inevitable
difficulties, you can hurt and abandon Belle at will? Our family has fallen from grace, and we lost our
power and ce in society. However, that does not mean we have discarded our dignity and twirl along
as you spin us around your whims. I''m sorry, Mr. Harvey, but we can''t afford such a high-stake game. It
is not something that a small fry like us can live up to."""
"As she spoke, Kate''s face was full of sorrow. Her eyes were unusually determined and her words were
bold and heartless. ""If I had known that the two of you had divorced in the beginning, then everything
afterwards would never have happened. The deceased has passed away, and I will not permit her to
get revenge. For me, Belle''s happiness is the most important thing. It is impossible to let her wander
outside by herself and wind up as a single mother. I once failed her as a mother, but I will never allow
such a thing to happen now."""
"Calvin trembled with fear when he heard this. It now seemed that even if Belle agreed to go back with
him, Kate wouldn''t be able to get through this. The path to chasing after Belle was truly a thorny one."
"Mom, where Belle is concerned, my conscience is always guilty. However, these happened without my
knowledge, and I have not the slightest intention for these to happen Also, I didn''t look down on her
because your family had fallen from grace. I didn''t patronize her and you for losing power and status. I
hope you can understand this point. Calvin wiped the sweat on his forehead and tried to exin as
much as possible. As a man, he didn''t take power seriously. Otherwise, he would have married Lexie
when they were at Camphor Tree Vi."
"Oh, really? Kate wanted tough suddenly and asked sarcastically, ""As far as I know, you''d never
visited me and Ethan since you''d married Belle. You''ve never even addressed Ethan and me as ''father''
and ''mother''. Young man, is this also one of your difficulties? You married Belle but she was alone all
these while. You hadn''t even visited her parents'' family. She was only 22 years old when she married
you. She spent her prime years in misery. What do you wish to achieve from telling me this right
now?"""
"This... Calvin didn''t know what to say. He felt that he had gone too far just from what Kate had just
described. Furthermore, this was the absolute truth. He had even forgotten the floor where Kate lived.
He didn''t even know about Ethan''s death. It had been three years since Belle had left. Back
then, Calvin and Belle were still husband and wife byw, but he had even forgotten about the
existence of his parents-inw. "
"Calvin looked as if he was put in a bind, and there was guilt in his eyes. He bowed his head very lowly
and felt a chill in his body. At that moment, he felt that his life was a total failure. He couldn''t even give
his beloved woman any happiness. He was in no position to beg for anything."
"Mom, I know I''ve done something wrong in the past. I really want to make up to her and give her the
best things in the world. Please don''t refuse my sincerity. Now that Jerry is ill, after we return to A City
to treat his illness, I will apologize to you again. Calvin did not have any other thoughts. He could only
sincerely ask Kate for forgiveness."
"Save it. We still have the capabilities to treat Jerry''s illness. Jerry is Belle''s son, so she won''t agree to
take him away. Furthermore, after taking Jerry away, how do you want Belle to live? This son is her one
and only love. She has nothing left. If she even loses her son, how do you expect her to live on? Kate''s
face was as cold as frost."
"When Calvin heard this, he found it a little weird. He raised his head and said, ""Mom, I''m here to pick
up the two of them, and you too, not just to take Jerry away."""
"Then I''m even more sorry. Belle is my child. If you want to pick her up, you have to get my permission
first. Now I can tell you clearly that I will not agree. Kate refused decisively on the spot, and there was
even no room for negotiation."
"Calvinpletely lost hope. If there was still a glimmer of hope when he arrived, then now he was
You can leave now. This ce is small and dirty. Your noble self does not belong here. Kate coldly
ordered him to leave.

Calvin stood there for a while. He was in a daze as he walked out dejectedly. He had no idea how he
made it out of the courtyard.
"His footsteps were very heavy. His soul was aimless. The night before, he hadn''t been sleeping well,
and then he''d talked with Belle in the middle of the night, but it had ended badly. Reluctantly, he came
to Kate Tristany in the morning hoping to get her understanding. Unexpectedly, he suffered a bigger
blow."
"He returned to the hotel with a ckened face and saw Aron standing by the door, waiting for him."
"Mr. Harvey, Aron called out in a low tone. His heart twitched when he saw the dispirited and listless
Calvin."
"Aron, what''s up? Calvin looked up at him and askedzily."
