Chapter 408 Sergio''s Intention


    "Belle, are you alright? Sergio asked with concern."


    "I''m fine. Belle shook her head. Since that person moved so swiftly, it must have been


    premeditated. She would not be able to find anything even if she wanted to investigate further. Besides,


    this is a blindspot and there were no cameras in sight. She could only me herself for being in the


    wrong ce at the wrong time."


    Belle shook her head in denial and didn''t want to think further.


    "Thank you, Sergio. I still have some matters to attend to. She didn''t want to stay there any longer."


    "Belle, let''s have a chat, Sergio said with a smile and tried to persuade her to stay."


    His charming smile and gentle voice made Belle feel at ease.


    "Belle rxed. She didn''t have any special feelings for Sergio, but he didn''t make her feel particrly


    disgusted. She smiled and said, ""I''ve been here far too long. The only reason I came here was to get

    away from the crowd."""


    "Yes, there are indeed a lot of people today. Sergio smiled and nodded his head in agreement. ""It


    seems that Belle also didn''t like this kind of banquet social event."" He thought."


    Belle gave a faint smile and made noments.


    "Belle, you''re still the same after all these years. You''re noble, upright, and unwilling to socialize with


    mediocre people. It must be hard for you to maintain your temperament in this world. Sergio praised


    sincerely."


    "No, I''m also human. Please don''t praise me like this. Belle looked around and did not have the mood


    to carry on the conversation. What''s more, this ce was remote, and there were only two of them.


    Obviously, it was not inappropriate. She was Mrs. Harvey now."


    "She then smiled politely and said with a hint of impatience, ""Sergio, I didn''t see you when Calvin and I


    were toasting. I didn''t think I''d see you here. I''ve stayed here for far too long, Calvin must be looking for


    me. I have to go. Let''s talk another day."""


    She lifted her gown and left.


    Belle. Sergio stopped her in time. "I just got off the ne. I arrivedte due to something urgent."


    "Oh, I see. Belle stopped in her tracks and stered a smile. However, she did not turn around."


    "Belle, you''re so beautiful tonight. Among all the women here, you''re the most beautiful and pristine.


    You reminded me a lot of Jen. Sergio praised her from the bottom of his heart."


    "Thank you. Belle shook her head and smiled, ""Sergio, I really have to go."""


    She lifted her gown again and wanted to leave.


    Belle. Sergio really didn''t want to let her go.


    "Belle had to stop again after taking two steps. It seemed impolite to leave him alone like this. Besides,


    he had helped her up just now. What''s more, she couldn''t afford to offend the Xanthe family, who was


    militarily and politically influential. Not only that, Sergio had a good rtionship with her mother back in


    Wullen Town."


    "Congrattions on your wedding with Calvin. I saw it, Sergio said clearly to her back. The smile on his


    face froze and loneliness crossed his eyes."


    "These words made Belle feelpletely at ease. When it came to Calvin, a sense of happiness arose


    in her heart. She turned around and smiled brightly, ""Thank you."""


    "At this moment, the panic on her face faded away. She sported a charming and lively smile. It came


    from the bottom of her heart, filled with self-confidence and happiness."


    "She must be very happy now. He couldn''t help but to ask, ""Is he good to you?"" He wanted to hear


    her answer himself."


    "Yes. Belle did not hesitate and answered loudly. She raised her head and said, ""Calvin and I are very


    much in love. He cares about me deeply and we''re very happy. I hope that you can find a beloved


    woman and live happily too."""


    Thank you. The smile on Sergio''s face was a little stiff.


    "Belle smiled again. ""I wish you all the best, and I hope your father''s election goes well,"" She said and


    nodded to him."


    "Upon hearing her blessing, Sergio knew she was also concerned about this matter. He thought for a


    moment, looked up, and smiled, ""Belle, can I talk to you about it?"""


    "Belle finally understood why he came to see her. It turned out that he wanted her support. She


    immediately smiled and said, ""I''m sorry, Sergio, the rules of the Harvey family are clear. We can''t get


    involved in politics. As a daughter-inw, I can only abide by them. There''s nothing I can do to change


    it."""


    "She was right. The Harvey family had never been involved in politics. This was Old Master Richard''s


    philosophy. Hence, he led his entire family of over a hundred people back to his ancestral home, A City,


    and began his business career. This had also been inscribed into the Harvey family''s teachings."


    "Politics had always beenplicated. Old Master Harvey never wished for his descendants to offend


    any politicians, nor did he wish for their business environment to be overlyplicated. Back then,


    Sophia had only agreed for Lexie to stay in Harvey Manor to protect the family''s traditional business.


    Secondly, she also didn''t want to offend Tristan. This was something Belle gradually realized when she


    became the mistress of the family. Therefore, she would not agree to any of Sergio''s requests."


    "Sergio''s heart trembled slightly at her gentle refusal. Her words were polite, but they also emphasized


    her indifference. There were hundreds of thousands of people in Harvey Group. If they chose to stand


    by his side, then it would be an obvious advantage, and he wouldn''t have to resort to teaming up with


    Zoe."


    "Although he saw iting, it still made him a little ufortable as he hadn''t said much about the


    topic."


    Belle also saw the embarrassment and disappointment on his face.


    "Don''t worry, Sergio. Since the Harvey family has no involvement in politics, we won''t support Luqman


    either. That, I can promise. At present, Mr. Xanthe has a big chance of winning. Cheer up. She smiled


    andforted him in a soft voice."


    "Well, thank you. Sergio smiled and was about to say something, only to hear footsteps approaching.


    ""Belle, there you are. I''ve been looking all over for you."""


    "Calvin''s voice warmed Belle immediately. The fear she had earlier hadpletely


    disappeared. ""Calvin, I just came here with Lottie to get away from the crowd,"" Belle exined as she


    wrapped her arms around his. However, at the same time, she was a little frightened. Perhaps she had


    been there for far too long, which made him anxious. He did mention that he would be looking for her


    when he needed her by his side."


    "Silly girl, I came across Rhys and Lottie when I was looking for you and she told me where you


    were. Calvin sounded worried and upset, but gentle nheless, as if he couldn''t bear to me her."


    "I''m sorry to keep you waiting, Calvin. Belle regretteding here. She took his arm and said, ""Are we


    meeting someone? Let''s go."""


    "Calvin nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Sergio. In fact, it was hard not to notice at all."


    "Sergio, you''re here? He frowned and asked politely, with a look of surprise on his face."


    "Belle''s face darkened. Now that he had seen her and Sergio standing in the dark, would he


    misunderstand? ""D*mn Lottie, for ditching me here. Not only did I almost lose my life, but Calvin would


    also most likely misunderstand. What an awful friend."""


    "Calvin, I happened toe here for a walk and saw Belle standing here alone. So, I went forward and


    greeted her, Sergio exined. Belle''s gloomy look did not escape Sergio''s eyes even in such a dark


    environment."


    "Oh, I see. I''m sorry but Belle has toe with me now, Calvin said, smiling faintly."


    "Okay, then. I''ll walk around. Sergio did not try to keep her any longer."


    "Calvin nodded and gently held Belle''s hand. ""Let''s go, Belle. I''ll take you to meet Madam Lilian."""


    Madam Lilian? Has she really arrived?


    Belle was taken aback and she nodded obediently. Calvin led her back to the banquet.


    "With Calvin by her side, the fear in her heart had long faded. However, there was still some lingering


    fear. Should she tell him what had happened?"


    "However, if she told him, Calvin would definitely investigate further. It was obvious that this matter had


    long been premeditated. Even Sergio said that he did not see anyone. So, it would be impossible for


    him to find anything if he insisted on investigating."


    "The guests were all prominent and famous people. If she made a fuss with no evidence, she would


    only make a fool of herself and even bring shame to Calvin. It seemed that she could only wait and tell


    him another day!"


    "With these thoughts in mind, she decided to push this matter aside. Belle happily followed Calvin to


    meet Madam Lilian."
