Chapter 440 You Are Indeed Supportive
So you are Sergio? Rosa was extremely shocked. She looked at Sergio in disbelief.
"Her father, General Perry had called her numerous times, saying that the Xanthe family would love to
have her as their daughter-inw. He asked about her opinion regarding the matter. Rosa was in no
mood to think about marriage. Hence, she grew evasive and tried to avoid his calls as much as
possible."
"To be honest, although she lived in Capital City, she had never seen him before, as Sergio was mostly
in the army. However, she had heard that he was very good-looking and talented, which was why her
father agreed to the marriage. However, she was not interested in him. "
"She was surprised to see him over here even though she had no feelings for him. Hence, she widened
her eyes in disbelief as she examined him from top to bottom. "
Are you Miss Rosa? Sergio stood up and smiled at her politely.
"Yes. Rosa sized him up for a while. Once she confirmed her first impression of him, she gave him a
nod and answered his question. "
"Both of them were well aware of the arranged marriage proposal. Rosa disregarded him and spun
around as she shed Belle a smile. ""I haven''t gotten the chance to see Jerry. You must bring me over
to Fragrance Garden to meet him. By the way, how''s Grandma?"" "
"Grandma? Belle''s smile was strained. However, she did not say anything and just gave her a nod. "
"Belle, how''s the situation right now with the cars? Have you guys found out the cause? The cars are
popr in the market and the future is full of potential. Why would something like this ur? There''s
definitely a misunderstanding, Rosa asked in puzzlement. ""It must be a scheme. Someone wishes to
destroy you. They must be jealous of your sales. You must investigate the matter thoroughly. We
cannot let the matter slide so easily."" "
Yes. Belle nodded in agreement.
"Don''t worry, Belle. If anyone dares to ruin the Harvey Group, they must do so over my dead body. I will
investigate the matter as well and find the culprit. so that they will be brought into custody. Belle, rest
assured, as long as I''m here, I will not allow anything to happen to the Harvey Group. From what Rosa
recalled, the Harvey Group had always been very powerful. A crisis as severe as this had never
urred before. She couldn''t ept it and she trusted thempletely. All she wanted to do was to
try her best to protect the people whom she considered to be her family. "
"What she said prompted Sergio, who was standing by, to furrow his brows. "
"Rosa was acting so childish. Besides, what did the crisis faced by the Harvey Group have to do with
her? Why was she so agitated?"
His expression darkened and he examined her.
"Belle noticed his expression and understood immediately what he was thinking. She took Rosa''s hand
in hers and said with a smile, ""Rosa, I''m so delighted that you coulde over. We can talk about it
"Belle, there''s no need to rush. I''m worried about the Harvey Group. The cars designed by the
believe that the Harvey Group is not foolish enough to leak the nation''s top secrets. We must
investigate the matter thoroughly. Before getting to the bottom of the mystery, I don''t wish to return to
Harvey Manor, Rosa said through clenched teeth. Seeing Belle and her swollen eyes made her very
anxious. She was in no mood to return to the Harvey Manor. All she wished was to find the culprit. "
"Belle''s heart sank and she nced at Sergio, who was standing at the side. "
"At this moment, Sergio had already turned around as he slowly sat on the couch. He leaned against
the couch and frowned. He did not seem to be in a good mood. "
"Belle was worried that Rosa would provoke Sergio further with her words. Hence, she wanted to pull
her out of the office. "
"Ms. Morris, you and yourpany are under my team''s supervision currently. We have the right to
know everything that you are doing and you are not supposed to leave our sight. I hope that you can
cooperate with us as well. Upon seeing that Belle was about to leave with Rosa, Sergio reminded her. "
"Upon hearing what he said, Rosa understood at once that Sergio was here because of the crisis that
had urred to the Harvey Group. His tone was far from friendly. Fuming mad, Rosa spun around and
sneered as she said sardonically, ""Oh, it looks like Mr. Xanthe is here to investigate the matter. I was
wondering why you suddenly appeared. It looks like you are actively taking part in ruining the Harvey
Group''s car business."" "
What Rosa said triggered Sergio and his anger spiked. His mouth formed into an unpleasant twist as
his jaw clenched.
What did she mean when she said that he had ruined the Harvey Group? It would ruin his reputation if
anyone were to hear it.
"However, he remembered that Yadriel had gone to meet General Perry to arrange for their marriage.
Hence, he could not afford to offend her right then. The thought crossed his mind and he slowly calmed
down. "
"Rosa, the incident that the Harvey Group has been involved in is tooplicated. You are just an
outsider. You don''t understand what''s going on. You shouldn''t intervene in this matter. What about this?
We knew each other when we were kids. Although we were busy with our respective careers ever
since we have grown up and have not met each other for a long time, fate had brought us together,
which was why we met today. Why don''t I take you on a stroll around A City. What do you think? He
stood up and said earnestly. He really wished that Rosa would not intervene in the matter, as it had
nothing to do with her and she would only make it moreplicated. After all, he wished to gain
General Perry''s approval and offending him was thest thing on his mind."
"To his dismay, Rosa''s expression darkened upon hearing what he had said and she said firmly, ""I
don''t care. I''m going to intervene in this incident. The Perry family and the Harvey family have known
each other for generations. We are well aware of their backgrounds. Now that they are in trouble, we
will not just sit back and watch. As for you, how can you be gloating over the misfortunes of the Harvey
Group? You even demanded that Belle ask for your approval before going out. You are just here to
make their lives difficult."" "
"Rosa, you''re ady from a prestigious family. How can you be so rude? We are just public officials
carrying out our superiors'' orders. I hope that you can understand our predicament. Sergio furrowed his
brows and there was a look of displeasure on his face. However, he forced himself to calm down as he
exined to her patiently. "
"I don''t care who you are, whether you are a public official or a superior. I only believe what I see.
There are not manyrge-scalepanies such as Harvey Group in the country. Their contribution to
the country is not any less than politicians like you. How can youe over here and me them
without a shred of solid evidence and restrict their freedoms? I don''t understand at all. The truth has
not been unearthed, yet you already want to imprison them. Rosa had always been fTristaness. Hence,
she did not give a d*mn about who Sergio was and snapped. Her aura was overbearing. "
"Sergio''s head throbbed. It seemed that Rosa was determined to intervene in this matter. It was bad
news for him. After all, General Perry was someone of high importance. He might identally offend
General Perry and that would be a huge mess. Hence, he could only reply, ""Since Miss Rosa has
requested for it, I will do you a favor and pretend that I''m not aware of this. However, if anything
happens, don''t me me if I act ordingly."" "
"Rosa snorted. Ignoring him, she led Belle out of the office. "
"Upon leaving thepany, they headed straight for Harvey Manor. "
"Belle, how could things be so serious? Rosa pondered the matter in the car. However, she could
not wrap her head around it. Hence, she asked her dejectedly. "
"Belle was also feeling pretty upset as she drove on. She sighed in exasperation and responded, ""I
have no idea as well. But now that we are in the wrong, there''s nothing we can do."" "
"Sigh, there are so many wicked people in the world. I bet someone is scheming this to ruin the two of
you. Don''t worry, I will keep youpany. With me over here, I believe that you guys will not suffer as
much, she said sternly, patting her chest. "
"Belle''s heart was filled with warmth. She smiled and said, ""Thank you, Rosa. My heart is much more
at ease after hearing what you have said."" "
"She never expected Rosa to be so kind-hearted. In all honesty, what happened to the Harvey Group
had nothing to do with her. However, she called her right away upon receiving the news and gave her
some form offort. Besides, she even came over herself. Her genuine concern and kindness had
really touched Belle. "
"s, I don''t know how much help I will be, as I feel that thepany is in a pretty serious
predicament. I really hope that the Harvey Group can survive it. Rosa was extremely worried. "
Belle was in distress as well.
I heard that Grandma''s health has deteriorated. Is this true? Rosa asked right away.
"Belle''s hand, which was maneuvering the steering wheel, quivered slightly. Her face grew pale and her
eyelids drooped."
"Yes, Rosa. Grandma hasn''t been welltely. Besides, at her age... "
She did not exin further. There was a hint of anguish in her tone and she stared nkly ahead.
Rosa understood at once what she meant and her heart sank.
Both of them did not speak any further throughout the journey. The atmosphere in the car was heavy.
"Upon returning to the Harvey Group, Rosa recalled what happened back then, during the New Year''s
Eve banquet. She was filled with mixed feelings as she reminisced about the past. For reasons
unknown, she did not hesitate at all to return when she heard that the Harvey Group was in trouble.
She just wished to help them. "
"When she stepped into Harvey Manor, she realized immediately why she was so eager to return. She
missed this ce. When she was just a kid, she woulde over for summer vacation every year. She
had created wonderful memories with Sophia. In addition to that, she feared that such a beautiful ce
would be destroyed or damaged. If the Harvey Group was to fall, would they be able to maintain

Harvey Manor? "
She had no idea.
"Meanwhile, in the Ink Garden, upon receiving treatment by the team of experts, Sophia''s condition had
improved slightly. However, it was not obvious. When Rosa entered the room with Belle, she saw
Sophia lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking very emaciated and her face was ashen grey.
She looked so different, nothing like before. "
"At the first nce, Rosa''s eyes turned red and tears flowed down her cheeks. "
"Grandma, I''m here to see you. She bent down and shouted into Sophia''s ears. Sophia was not asleep
as her eyshes were quivering slightly. "
"Upon hearing her voice, Sophia snapped her eyes open as she looked at Rosa in confusion. After a
while, her face lit up with joy. "
