Chapter 445 His Generosity


    "Belle, did you go home just now? Is Jerry alright? As soon as Rosa left the office, Calvin walked


    towards her and reached out his hand to touch her. However, for some inexplicable reason, Belle


    seemed to be in a bad mood and avoided him. "


    She recalled Liya''s expression when she went out of the elevator a moment ago and it made her even


    more upset. Liya was apparently in high spirits.


    Calvin was startled when Belle avoided him. He nced at her and was a little taken aback to see her


    gloomy expression. His mind raced.


    "Did Jerry say that he missed me? he asked gently with a grin. However, a sh of anguish crossed his


    face.  "


    "Yes, he was wailing, begging me not to leave. Belle could still hear the sound of Jerry weeping and it


    made her heart ache terribly. She raised her head as she was choked with sobs. "


    Calvin fell silent.


    "Calvin, I''m going abroad for a while. She pondered the matter for a while before firmly stating her


    wish."


    "Oh, why though? Calvin was surprised when he heard that she was going aboard. His voice was filled


    with concern as he asked."


    What else can I do? I''m going to settle the issues over there. All the cars have been recalled from the


    market. I must go over and check on the situation. Belle''s expression was solemn.


    "Sure, Calvin replied after only a moment''s thought. ""When are you leaving?""  "


    "Tomorrow, Belle answered clearly."


    "Calvin raised his head and looked at her. He seemed to be preupied with something when he said,


    ""If there''s a lot to do over there, you can stay there for a few days or go on a vacation. Enjoy yourself


    over there."""


    Calvin reached out his hand and wrapped his arms around her as he pulled her into an embrace. He


    rested his chin on her hair as he stared nkly ahead.


    Stay there for a few more days? What did he mean by that?


    Belle''s heart sank and she was terribly upset. Was he nning to spend time with Liya once she was


    gone?


    "At this moment, they heard Sergio and Rosa quarreling in the room next to them. "


    Both of them turned their heads towards the direction.


    "Calvin, Yadriel has proposed an arranged marriage between Sergio and Rosa to General Perry, Belle


    exined to him in a low voice."


    Calvin furrowed his brows as he sniggered.


    "He seemed to be lost in thought and merely replied, ""Oh."" "


    Belle. Calvin nced down at her and called her name gently.


    "Belle looked up at him. Their eyes met and they were filled with affection, longing, anguish, and


    exasperation. "


    "Calvin''s square jaw tensed up visibly and his eyelids drooped as he said, ""Remember what I''ve told


    you before."" "


    "There were some secrets that he did not wish to tell her, as he was afraid that she would be worried


    about him. If she could stay out of the matter and leave thepany for a while, it would be the best


    arrangement. The thought crossed his mind and he reminded her in a gentle voice."


    Belle seemed to be lost in thought. Thoughts of Liya clouded her mind and her smile was strained. She


    did not hear what Calvin said at all.


    She felt the urge to question him whether Liya hade over to his office a moment ago and the


    reason for it. She parted her lips and was about to ask him when she saw him looking at her with deep


    affection. It made her heart race with joy.


    "In that instant, she changed her mind. She decided to trust him again. She believed that he loved her


    and would not be seduced by Liya. "


    "Their eyes locked on one another. Both of them wanted to say something, yet nobody spoke. There


    were so many things to say and neither knew how to begin the conversation. "


    "The door swung open with a loud bang. Fuming mad, Rosa walked into the office and shouted, ""How


    infuriating! Who does he think he is? How dare he order me to leave?"" "


    Belle and Calvin nced at one another and both of them understood at once what the other was


    thinking. They were both touched by Rosa''s kindness.


    "You two can continue chatting. I''ll take my leave first, Calvin said indifferently as he walked out of the


    office. "


    "As soon as stepped out of the office, he saw Sergio standing in the corridor, with his unwavering re


    holding him in ce. "


    "Calvin walked towards him and his gaze turned ice-cold. He wanted to ignore him but Sergio lowered


    his voice and bellowed, ""Calvin, I have solid evidence that you guys are involved in the matter. Even


    General Perry would not be able to save you. You should know what you have to do."" "


    "Upon hearing what he had said, Calvin''s temper sparked and he said sternly, ""Sergio, you may be a


    public official, but that does not give you the right to speak as you please. Let me warn you that we


    have always obeyed thew and have never been involved in any illegal activities. There is not enough


    evidence to press charges against us. Since many are suspicious of us, I will definitely get to the


    bottom of the mystery. As for you, I would like to remind you that your father is going to run for the


    State Governor''s position soon. Why don''t you help him instead of meddling in my affairs? You better


    not regret what you are doing right now as I will make you pay for it."" "


    Calvin was seething with anger. His aura was overbearing and he did not back down in front of Sergio.


    Their eyes met and both were filled with rage and pure hatred for each other.


    "I''m warning you. Don''t throw the helve after the hatchet. Although Sergio was troubled by what he had


    said, he did not show it. Instead, his expression darkened and he sniggered. ""We''ll see, Calvin,"" he


    said confidently. "


    "Upon saying that, he nced at him. His expression was unreadable before he spun around and left. "


    "Calvin was stunned. For the first time in his life, he was feeling so agitated and lost. He clenched his


    fists and dragged himself back to his office. "


    "Belle stood by the door and she had heard every bit of the conversation. After a while, thoughts of


    Sophia and her emaciated appearance crossed her mind. It filled her with anguish. "


    "Belle recalled the sight of Calvin walking towards his office, looking very dejected and miserable. This


    was the first time she had seen him in this state after all these years. He was no longer confident and


    formidable. Instead, he was in distress and he looked extremely lonely. Belle''s heart ached for him and


    she was no longer suspicious of him. "


    The atmosphere in the room was tense. Belle struggled to catch her breath and she felt light-headed


    out of a sudden. She steadied herself against the wall and closed her eyes.


    "When she opened her eyes, she saw Sergio looking at her with his deep-set eyes. His expression was


    vague and his eyes were filled with concern. There seemed to be something more... Something more


    than concern, but Belle stopped herself from dwelling on the matter. "


    "Belle, he whispered."


    Belle''s gaze was ice-cold as she stared at him.


    "Belle, if you can, leave this ce, Sergio said eventually in an attempt to convince her. In reality, he


    did not want to see Belle getting hurt. Nobody, including him, could foresee what would happen next.


    Zoe had gone out of her mind. She would not let the Harvey Group go so easily.  "


    Leave this ce? What did he mean by that?


    "By leaving this ce, was he asking her to leave Calvin? "


    How was that possible?


    "Without hesitation, she retorted."


    "Mr. Xanthe, no matter what you say, I believe that the Harvey Group is innocent in this matter. I will


    find evidence to prove it. Even if I get myself into trouble or face any misfortune in the process, I will not


    leave him, she said firmly before turning around and returning to her office. "


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sergio stood silently by the door as he thought of what she said.


    "Meanwhile, in Los Angeles. "


    All the luxury cars produced by the Harvey Group had been piled up in the factory. The factory was


    deste and nobody was at work. All the employees gathered outside as they chatted and discussed


    the matter.


    This was the sight that Belle saw upon arriving at the factory.


    She went straight to the management office.


    Joey hurried over to greet her upon noticing her arrival.


    "Ms. Morris, he greeted her politely, looking very uneasy."


    "Mr. Wilson, where''s Mr. Levin? Belle asked directly, looking around. "


    "s, thepany has been out of business for a few days. Mr. Levin has something to do at home.


    Hence, he left Tristany. Joey was looking pretty crestfallen. "


    "Well, please help me inform him toe over in the afternoon. I have something to tell him, Belle said


    briefly and she walked out of the office."


    "Joey was about to follow her when she turned around and smiled. ""Mr. Wilson, you can continue


    doing your work. I''ll just look around."" "


    Many beautifully designed cars were ced in the hall of the factory. They were covered with dust and


    they looked like second-hand cars that had been abandoned. A deep gloom had settled over the whole


    factory.


    "Belle paced back and forth slowly, as she tried to work out a n in her mind. "


    "After a while, she chose a car in the hall and drove it out of the factory alone.  "


    "At the Saint Lawrence River, the water was crystal clear,plementing the sunny spots of


    greenery. "


    The area was filled with Sadie and fauna. The air was fresh and sweet.


    "When Belle got down from the car, Rhys was already standing by the riverside."


    Rhys. Belle walked over and greeted him cordially.


    "Back then, she met him by this river and it opened a new c*hapter in her life. She was forever grateful


    to him. "


    Jen. Rhys greeted her with a warm smile.


    He was always friendly and his smile was always warm whenever they met.


    "Rhys, I''m sorry for disturbing you, she said, smiling sheepishly. Now that the Harvey Group was in


    trouble, she thought of him right away and came to find him. However, she had never contacted him at


    all previously. "


    "Jen, are you and Calvin alright? Rhys asked casually. His gaze fell on her somewhat haggard face."


    "It''s not too bad. Belle nodded, and she understood at once what he meant. The news had spread.


    Everyone from all around the world had heard the news that the Harvey Group was in trouble, what


    more Rhys, who was the CEO of the Atkinson Corp. "


    "What happened? Rhys furrowed his brows. In his opinion, the Harvey Group would not be so foolish


    as to do something like this. It was clear that it was a scheme to destroy them. "


    "Rhys, the matter is still under investigation but I will find the culprit, Belle said firmly. She then changed


    the topic. As if she had made up her mind, she asked, ""Rhys, I know that yourpany has


    developed a self-driving AI system. Can you sell it to us at a high price?"" "


    She drove her point across but she did not expect him to agree.


    "After all, the self-driving AI system was their masterpiece. The system made them stand out from the


    otherpanies. In the past, when the Harvey Group dominated the car industry, they were still able to


    agree, considering that it was indeed apetitive market. Even though she had offered a high price,


    he might not agree as well."


    "The system gave them an advantage over the otherpanies. If he sold it to her, the Harvey Group


    might study it and develop a simr system in the future. "


    "In fact, the Harvey Group was also developing the system. However, it was far from ready and it had


    yet to make its debut in the international market. "


    She did not expect him to agree.


    "As expected, he remained silent for a while without uttering a word."
