Chapter 402 Be His Woman
"Zoe chuckled when she saw Liya''s expressions. She took out an empty cheque from the
drawer, wrote a few words, and handed it to Liya."
"Liya looked at the cheque with her mouth agape. Five million dors? It was a huge sum for a modest
woman like her. Her face lit up when she thought of her father in the ward, but she became worried
again. She put the cheque on the table and muttered, ""I can''t take that much money, Miss Yates.
Besides, I don''t have the ability to pay it back."""
She gripped her shirt tightly as she kept ncing at the cheque from time to time. Her gleaming eyes
showed a hint of unease.
"Zoe noticed it. She pushed the cheque towards her and sat down next to her. She held her hand
and said, ""It''s my fault for only finding you yesterday. I didn''t realize your family hade to such a
state. What a pity."""
"She spoke with a trace of sadness in her eyes. Liya was moved and her eyes welled up with
tears. ""Miss Yates, I''m grateful that you even thought of my family, unlike other people who only wish
upon our death."""
She said with a trembling voice as hatred appeared in her eyes.
"Zoe sighed and said, ""Ten years ago, my family copsed and I didn''t ask about you. However, I
had done my best to send some money your way. Did you receive it?"""
"Money? Liya''s eyes widened when she heard this. ""Miss Yates, you sent them? You had no

idea! That money supported me through college but I didn''t know who sent it. I always thought it was
the Harvey family."""
She said excitedly as she looked at Zoe with eyes full of surprise and joy.
She had always assumed that the Harvey Family had sent the money. She didn''t expect it to be Zoe.
This was unbelievable.
Why was Zoe so good to her family?
"Sigh. Perhaps it''s because we share the same fate. We were all miserable and had been oppressed
by others back then. I have remembered you ever since. Not to mention that we yed together when
we children, Zoe said with a sad tone."
"That''s right. Life was horrible then, Liya said as she took a trip down memoryne."
"She was only nine when her mother took her to Harvey Manor and had stayed there for three years. It
was during that time she found out what kind of life the children of rich families were livingpared to
hers. After Old Master Harvey had passed away, she and her mother were chased out of the manor."
"She held onto her mother and cried in the heavy rain the day they were chased out. Then, her mother
had fallen ill and never woke up. When she found her father, he had been living a life filled with anxiety
and hunger."
"Tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was frighteningly pale. She gripped her clothes tightly and
gritted her teeth."
"It''s all in the past, Liya. I''ll be like your older sister from now on. We''re family now. Don''t worry, I won''t
treat you shabbily. Zoe moved Liya''s heart like a spring breeze. She lifted her eyes and said
gratefully, ""Zoe, you treat me so well. I don''t know how to repay your kindness."""
"She was extremely grateful but still felt uneasy. Growing up, she knew there''s no such thing as free
lunch. However, she had neither power nor influence. Even the bachelor''s degree she received in
Therefore, she still had her doubts."
"Zoe patted the back of Liya''s hand and said with a smile, ""Liya, you''re young, beautiful, and full of
potential. You have to marry a good man. Otherwise, it would be a shame for such a beauty like you."""
Liya smiled bashfully and lowered her head.
Her shy look would drive men crazy. The smile in Zoe''s eyes deepened.
"Liya, now that we are like sisters, I want to give you a piece of advice. Not only will it help me, you''ll
also be able to live a rich and morous life. How does that sound to you? Zoe looked as if she had
just thought about it."
"Liya raised her head and looked at Zoe with her big, almond-shaped eyes. Confusion filled her
face."
"Zoe patiently asked, ""Liya, do you still remember Calvin from Harvey Manor?"""
"Calvin? Liya''s eyes lit up as she asked excitedly, ""Zoe, are you referring to the current master of
Harvey Manor, the President of Harvey Group, Mr. Calvin?"""
Yes. Zoe nodded. Her smile was unfathomable.
"Yes, I remember, but what does this have to do with us? The light in Liya''s eyes quickly dimmed. She
shook her head and asked, ""I don''t understand, Zoe."""
"It''s simple. If you be Calvin''sdy, you can live the life you want. The world''s your oyster. It''s hard
to find such a rich and powerful family in the world, let alone in A City. Besides, you two knew each
other when you were children. You can use this to your advantage. Ask to work in hispany and the
rest will work itself out, Zoe exined."
"No. Liya''s face dimmed and said in a low voice, ""That won''t do. Calvin is so high and mighty. I''m sure
he had already forgotten about me. Besides, he''s happily married to a gorgeous woman. I wouldn''t
even stand a chance, let alone with my lowly position. I don''t think I have it in me to separate them."""
"Liya shook her head. Ever since she began living in the mansion, Calvin had always been a noble
Young Master. He was loved by thousands of people and led a carefree and high-flying life. Though
she lived there, she was despised by the servants, so much so that she did not even have the right to
ask for anything."
"To be Calvin''sdy, this was nothing more than a fantasy."
"Zoe, on the other hand, smiled confidently. ""Liya, do you still remember when Martin and Miss
Hattie Patel bullied you. Calvin openly defended you and even scolded his cousin. I''m sure you
remember that."""
"That was true. Liya''s eyes sparkled again. Nevertheless, they were just eleven or twelve years old.
Things weren''t asplicated back then. What''s more, it was not a big deal at all."
"Even if they remembered, Calvin would have probably long forgotten about it."
"She looked confused, nodded, but eventually, she shook her head."
