Chapter 432 A Disaster


    "Belle, he murmured. ""I was just kidding. Don''t worry, you and Jerry are very important to me. No


    matter what happens, I will be by your side. I will ensure that both of you live a happy andfortable


    life. Trust me."" He held her tightly."


    Alright. Belle broke into a smile and hugged him tightly.


    What about you? What did you want to tell me? He locked her in an embrace and whispered into her


    ears.


    "Looking abashed, Belle smiled and said, ""To be frank, it''s exactly what I''ve said just now. Harvey


    Group is such a sessful business. You must protect it well. Don''t you think about handing it over to


    me. I won''t allow it."""


    "Is that all you want to say? It looks like you can read my mind. You do understand me well. Calvin


    grinned. ""Don''t worry, I promise you. You must promise me as well to be strong in the future no matter


    what happens. Is that okay for you?"" "


    "Sure. Belle agreed instantly. As long as he was by her side, she would be strong, no matter what


    happened. She was sure of this. "


    "That''s great. Let''s have dinner, honey. Calvin held her hand and they walked into the dining hall. "


    "Have some mushroom soup. The rest are almost done. Belle filled his bowl with his favorite


    mushroom soup and said gently, ""Come home earlier in the future. It''s not good for your digestive


    system to have dinner sote."" "


    "Yes, honey. Calvin gulped down the mushroom soup and agreed. However, Belle knew that he was


    not being serious. He was mostly busy at work. There was no way he could return Tristany to have


    dinner. She sighed. To achieve glory, there will always be sacrifices. In order to seed, a person must


    bear the responsibilities. "


    "To everyone''s dismay, a disaster urred. "


    Nobody had foreseen it.


    "Belle was carefully reviewing the documents submitted by the respective departments in her office.


    Judging from the records, thepany was developing well and it met her expectations. "


    "When it was almost ten o''clock, she stood up, poured a ss of water for herself and slowly paced

    back and forth in the room."


    "Calvin had gone out to meet a potential client this morning. The other party was a shareholder of a big


    "Ever since Belle came to work, she was in charge of thepany''s internal affairs. This really saved


    Calvin a lot of trouble."


    "After gulping down a few sses of water, Belle looked out of the window as she absorbed the


    scenery. "


    "Two years ago, she returned, intending to get revenge on Harvey Group. However, things had


    changed. She was now Calvin''s wife and they were madly in love. It truly surprised her how things


    turned out. "


    "Back then, she loathed Calvin. Now, she could not take her mind off him. She was always concerned


    about his well-being, and her heart ached whenever he was exhausted or ravenous. It was peculiar


    indeed. "


    "She learnt that even if a couple got into a misunderstanding the day before, it could always be


    resolved by the next day. This was true love and there was no logic behind it. "


    Thinking of Calvin put a smile on her face and she shook her head.


    "Ms. Morris, I have some bad news. Yuri dashed into the office. Belle had never seen her in such a


    state of panic."


    What''s the matter? Calm down. Belle''s heart sank. She frowned and asked in a low voice.


    "Ms. Morris, a group of people have gathered at the front desk and they demanded to see Calvin, Yuri


    said in a panic. ""They took out their identity cards and showed the security guards when they enquired


    about their identities. It scared the wits out of the guards.""  "


    What?


    "Belle''s heart raced and she had a bad feeling about this. She asked right away, ""Who are they?"""


    "Just as Yuri was about to reply, the sound of hurried footsteps approached them. A cold and


    overbearing voice rang. ""Where''s Mr. Harvey? Ask him to see us."" "


    "Yuri panicked when she heard what they said. Flustered, she cried, ""This is bad. Ms. Morris, it''s them.


    They are here."" "


    Let''s not jump to conclusions. Go and greet them. I''ll be there in a second. Belle forced herself to calm


    down as she instructed Yuri.


    Yuri nodded and left the office right away.


    It''s nice to meet you. Mr. Harvey has gone out for a business meeting this morning and is currently not


    in his office. May I know why you wish to meet him? Yuri came out of the office and asked politely.


    "Who else can we talk to? Ask him or her to see us immediately. Someone interrupted and his


    demeanour was cold and overbearing, as if he was issuing amand. "


    "Oh, okay, sure, please wait a moment. I''ll go and enquire about this. Yuri''s voice trembled as she


    forced a smile. "


    Belle stood by the door and heard every word of the conversation.


    "After pondering for a while, she checked her attire in the mirror before she strode out of her office."


    "A few men, dressed casually with piercings stares, were standing at the front desk. Their expressions


    were solemn. "


    Standing in the middle was a tall and handsome man. It was Sergio. Belle recognized him at once.


    "It was Sergio, the head of Capital City''s security force. Why did he bring his men over to Harvey


    Group? "


    The thought crossed her mind and fear clutched at her throat.


    "Sergio, it''s you. Wee. It''s my pleasure to see you. She steadied herself and approached them.


    She then greeted them politely. ""What a group of VIPs! Come in and have a seat."" "


    Sergio raised his head and saw Belle. It was as he expected. She was in the office.


    "She was dressed in professional attire, looking very stunning and professional. He couldn''t help but to


    stare at her as a faint smile touched the corners of his mouth."


    He nced towards her direction but he did not say anything. He then led his men to her office.


    "Yuri, please fetch some tea. Sergio''s expression was far more solemnpared to thest time he


    came over. Belle knew immediately that something was amiss and she quickly ordered Yuri to get


    some tea ready.  "


    "Seeing that Belle knew the leader of the group, Yuri heaved a sigh of relief and agreed immediately."


    "Sergio, there''s nothing fancy about the office. Please bear with it and have a seat, Belle said politely


    and invited them to sit on the couch.  "


    Yuri quickly served them some tea.


    "Belle examined the visitors as she took a sip of the tea. There were three of them. Aside from Sergio,


    there were two other middle-aged men. Although they were dressed casually in T-shirts and jeans, the


    aura of being inmand surrounded them. They looked dignified and formidable. "


    "I''m really sorry, Sergio. Calvin has something to do this morning and is currently not in his office. We


    didn''t know that you wereing. Hence, we did not prepare anything. Belle could not figure out why


    they came. Therefore, she was being very cautious. "


    "Sergio sat calmly and his piercing gaze fleeted across the room. However, there was a hint of concern


    when his gaze fell upon Belle''s face, especially when he noticed that she was anxious."


    "She must have guessed that something was wrong. Although she had put on a brave front, he could


    still see that she was confused and anxious. He sighed. She should have led afortable life,


    spending time at home with her child. Now, it seemed that she had to bear the agony of losing


    everything again."


    "Sergio, are you here to see Calvin? She was feeling very uneasy but still kept her voice steady. "


    "Sergio took a sip of the tea and cleared his throat as he tried his best to break the news as gently as


    he could. ""Belle, we have known each other for a long time. Let me be frank. Yourpany has been


    suspected to be involved in leaking out the nation''s top secrets and we have found evidence to prove


    that this is true. Since this has involved the nation''s top secrets, it is a matter of high importance. From


    today onwards, my team and I will intervene in thepany''s affairs and investigate this matter until


    we get to the bottom of the mystery."" "


    "As soon as Sergio finished his sentence, Belle almost passed out from the shock. She was so


    flustered that she could barely breathe and almost fainted. "


    They were suspected of leaking the nation''s top secrets.


    It was a heavy offence. They were a mulNorahtionalpany. The charge woulde as a blow to


    thepany''s development. It could ruin thepany forever without any hope of regaining its


    reputation in the future.


    Anypany charged with this offence was as good as done for.


    This offence would cost them everything. Someone really wanted to destroy the Harvey Group.


    How was it possible?


    "No way. It''s impossible. Belle took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She said


    confidently with a solemn expression, ""Sergio, there must be a mistake. We have always abided by


    thew and we had never done anything that went against our principles and integrity. We were never


    involved in the ck market, let alone leaking out the nation''s top secrets. What absolute nonsense. I


    can guarantee that this is a false usation. Please return and investigate the matter again. You must


    understand how serious this is and this charge should not be meted out to apany so frivolously."" "


    Her eyes were bright and as clear as day. She was very confident about it.


    "Sergio looked at her and sighed. Exasperated, he said, ""Belle, I don''t believe it as well. However, we


    do not have a choice. This is the fact. We have already taken measures to prove your innocence,


    which is why Capital City has set up this investigation team to probe the matter further, so that we can


    get to the bottom of the mystery as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary losses. Harvey Group is


    a bigpany. Everyone knows that. However, this is a matter of importance. I hope that you guys can


    understand that it ain''t easy for us as well."" "


    It was a reasonable exnation but Belle still could not believe her ears. She found it impossible to


    believe.


    There''s really no need to investigate the matter. I can guarantee that the Harvey Group has never done


    anything that will harm the nation or its people. You don''t need to be worried about this.


    "She was probably out of her mind. She stood up abruptly and spoke with confidence. However, in


    reality, she knew that the offence was not charged recklessly and she couldn''t prove their innocence


    with just a few sentences. If that was the case, many people would not have failed to prove their


    innocence in the past. It looked like the Harvey Group was ruined for good this time around. "


    "Ms. Morris, we are all adults. Please don''t be so childish. Even if you have every reason to prove your


    innocence and we trust you from the bottom of our hearts, this involves the nation. Evidence is


    everything. We did note here on our own ord. Since we are here, there must have been some


    form of evidence. Please think carefully and cooperate with us. Another man warned. His tone was


    serious. "


    "Devastated, Belle felt light-headed and copsed onto the couch. "
