Chapter 429 A Suspicious Shadow


    "Aron, it looks like I need the Xeqint back in action. Upon returning to his office, Calvin immediately


    called for Aron. "


    "Mr. Harvey, I feel that there is something amiss recently. Everything seems to be fine on the surface,


    but I have a bad feeling about this. Aron also felt that something was wrong. He furrowed his brows


    and expressed his concerns. "


    "Yes, I agree with you, Calvin said with a serious expression, nodding his head. ""Aron, bring some


    men along with you and investigate the matter. Find out who was responsible for snapping the photo


    when I met Luqman yesterday. We must find out why they published it in the newspapers and what


    their motives are."" "


    Aron nodded. He turned around and left.


    Calvin made a call to the Harvey Group''swyer. His gaze turned cold. A City''s media had gone


    overboard. How dare they publish a photo of him without informing him. It was infuriating.


    "The next day, Belle arrived at thepany Tristany in the morning."


    "Calvin workedte the night before. She couldn''t bear to wake him up so Tristany in the morning.


    Hence, she came over herself. "


    "Thepany had implemented some new protocols. Besides, she was diligent and meticulous, and


    always tried to supervise everything by herself. This made up for the past ws and they had made


    considerable progress."


    "It was raining cats and dogs. The atmosphere was gloomy, just like the weather. Lightning shed

    brilliantly and a p of thunder followed."


    Belle arrived at thepany in the rain. The security guard had just opened the doors and the cleaners


    were busy cleaning up the corridors.


    "She took the VIP elevator to the 88th floor. Naturally, she had not been satisfied with the program


    designed by thework department recently and was quite worried about it. Hence, to be on the safe


    side, she asked for three top schrs specializing in software engineering, whom Calvin had previously


    sent abroad, to further their studies. She was going to meet them in person and request them to take


    part in the program''s design. After all, they were Calvin''s subordinates and were far more reliable.  "


    The corridors were pitch ck as the secretaries had not arrived at work yet. It was way too Tristany


    and the necessary preparations were not done.


    "Belle walked to the window and opened the curtains. A bolt of lightning shed across the sky and


    struck the awning outside the building. She couldn''t help but to tremble, and she turned around to turn


    on the lights. "


    The bolt of lightning revealed the reflection of a dark figure in the hallway on the window panes. Belle


    widened her eyes rmingly.


    "The next moment, she heard frantic footsteps in the hallway. Whoever it was, the person was


    obviously tiptoeing but Belle could still hear the sound of someone running away. "


    "Belle had a bad feeling about this. Without hesitation, she spun around. "


    She caught a glimpse of a form darting away from the hallway.


    "The intruder was agile and nimble. Within seconds, the figure had disappearedpletely. "


    Who''s there? Belle demanded. She quickly chased after the figure.


    "The intruder was running towards the stairs. She chased after them, but the person was too fast. Upon


    arriving downstairs, the intruder was nowhere to be seen. "


    "Security, close the entrance immediately and look for anyone suspicious. She quickly called the head


    of the security department. "


    "Within minutes, the entrance of the International Triumphal Court was closed. "


    "The guards began to search the building, looking for anyone suspicious. "


    "Belle stood in the hall on the 88th floor. Her expression was solemn, and she frowned. "


    Who in the world dared to break into the President''s and Vice President''s office? What was the


    intruder''s motive?


    The thought crossed her mind and she dashed into her office in a hurry.


    The door of her office was open.


    "She pushed it open. Surprisingly, everything was still neat and tidy. There was no sign of anyone


    rummaging for something."


    She remembered that she had closed the door the night before. It seemed that the intruder had entered


    her office. What about Calvin''s?


    She immediately ran towards Calvin''s office.


    "However, the door of his office was shut tightly. There were no signs of anyone entering. "


    It looked like the intruder was after her.


    Belle recalled the eerie events that had happened to her in the past few days as well as Liya''s strange


    behavior the day before. Her heart pounded rapidly.


    "At this moment, her phone rang and she answered it. Calvin''s voice rang. ""Belle, what happened?"" "


    "Calvin had just arrived at the International Triumphal Court. To his surprise, he saw the employees


    standing in front of the building. The rain was still pouring but the entrance door was locked by the


    guards and nobody was allowed to enter. "


    "Puzzled by this, he enquired one of the security guards and learnt that the entrance had been closed


    under Belle''s instructions. "


    Calvin was shocked. Did something happen?


    "Belle arrived at thepany before him. Could it be that something had happened to her? Worried, he


    dialed her number. "


    "Calvin,e up quickly. Belle felt much more at ease when she heard Calvin''s voice. She urged him


    toe upstairs immediately. "


    "Are you alright? Calvin heaved a sigh of relief when she answered the call. However, he was still filled


    with concern."


    I''m fine. Belle shook her head.


    "After a while, Calvin arrived at her side. "


    "Calvin, I saw a dark figure slip into my office when I walked into the corridor this morning. Before I


    could see who it was, the person had already run away using the stairs. Hence, I gathered the guards


    to search for the intruder. Upon seeing Calvin, Belle finally calmed down. However, her expression was


    solemn as she told him what happened. "


    An intruder barged into your office? Calvin was shocked. His gaze turned ice-cold. This was indeed


    astonishing. It was the first time anything like had this happened in the Harvey Group. An intruder was


    found on the 88th floor which belonged specifically to the President and the Vice President.


    He patted her on the back to calm her down.


    He dialed Aron''s number immediately.


    Aron was instructed to check on the progress with the security guards. He came over upon receiving


    the call.


    "Mr. Harvey, Ms. Morris, the security guards had searched the entire building, including the corridors,


    stairways, toilets, and meeting rooms. However, there was no one suspicious. Aron reported upon


    entering. "


    "It''s impossible. I saw it with my own eyes. It happened right in this hallway. The person was fast and


    agile. I did not manage to see if it was a man or a woman. I didn''t even have time to turn on the lights,


    Belle retorted upon hearing what he said. She was telling the truth. She had really seen someone. It did


    happen but why was there no trace of the intruder? Why? "


    "She could neither wrap her head around the incident nor did she think that it was just a hallucination. It


    was the same as before. She did feel someone lurking in the corridors but upon turning around, there


    was nobody in sight. "


    Could it be that she had imagined all of it?


    "No, it was impossible."


    Calvin knitted his brows in concentration. His expression was solemn. He couldn''t help recalling what


    Luqman said. Was Harvey Group already on someone''s hit list?


    "But, Ms. Morris, I have checked everything. Aside from the cleaners and our employees, there was no


    one suspicious, Aron said confidently. "


    Are you sure you weren''t imagining it? Calvin turned around to look at Belle as he asked with concern.


    "Could it be a hallucination as you have been pretty tired at worktely and the corridors were pitch-


    ck?"


    Hallucination? No way.


    Belle immediately shook her head.


    "Ms. Morris, is there anything missing from your office? Did anything seem unusual? After all, Aron had


    a lot of experience in situations like this and enquired immediately. "


    "Well, nothing seems to be missing. Belle shook her head, looking dejected."


    "Aron, open the doors and instruct everyone to get back to work. Keep this a secret and don''t tell


    anyone about it. Calvin instructed after pondering for a moment.  "


    Aron promised to keep it a secret and left.


    "Calvin, don''t you believe me? Belle nced at him after Aron left."


    "Calvin drew closer and noticed that blood had drained from her face. He helped her to a chair and said


    gently, ""I might have my doubts if it was someone else, but I will believe you, no matter what."" "


    Really? Belle''s face lit up.


    "Of course. Calvin wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said affectionately, ""Please, you are


    my wife and you are Jerry''s mother. You are the person I trust the most in this world. If I don''t even


    believe you, who else could I trust?"" "


    Thank you for believing me. Belle smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.


    "However, we need evidence if we are to do anything. I will make a mental note of this incident but we


    better keep it a secret for the time being before we know who we are facing. I''ll let Aron and his men


    inspect your officeter. If the person really has any ulterior motives, they would definitely leave a trace.


    Believe me, Calvin said softly as he held her hand. "


    Okay. Belle nodded. She recalled what happened on the night when she stood by theke and was


    about to tell him about the incident when his phone rang.


    "Aron, what''s the matter?"


    "Belle couldn''t hear what Aron said but she heard Calvin''s response. ""Record the names of everyone


    present at that time including the employees and hand the list to meter. Besides, get two men from


    the Xeqint toe over to Ms. Morris''s office and inspect it. Remember, do not let anyone know about


    this."" Calvin paused for a while as he put down his phone, and said to Belle, ""Belle, I have something


    urgent to attend to. I''ll be going out for a while. Two men wille overter on to inspect your office.


    Have a good rest in the meantime and don''t stress yourself thinking about it. Don''t worry. I''m here.


    Everything will get better."" "


    "Seeing that he was very busy, Belle nodded her head. She decided to tell him what happened some


    other time. "


    "Soon, Aron came over with two men. They inspected the office. After a while, they looked at one


    another and walked out of the office.  "


    Belle wanted to stop Aron and ask him what they found but Aron was in a rush. He only turned around


    and smiled politely at her.


    "Mr. Harvey, we really did find this thing. Aron entered Calvin''s office and handed him a pinhole


    camera. "


    Calvin held the pinhole camera. His expression darkened and it was scary.


    Luqman was right. Someone was targeting the Harvey Group. They had already made a move.


    "Don''t tell Ms. Morris about this for the time being. She will be worried. From now onwards, you are in


    charge of the Harvey'' Group security. Something might ur to the Harvey Group in the near future.


    No matter who it is and what they want, we cannot let anything happen to the Harvey Group. We have


    to protect it, no matter what. Calvin''s expression was solemn and his gaze was cold. "


    Aron''s instincts told him that the matter was serious and he nodded his head.
