me? Why should I listen to you?"" "
"What gives me the right to reprimand you? Well, I''m currently the mistress of Harvey Manor. Hence, I
have the right to ask you toe back with me. Belle snorted and said firmly, ""You are still part of the
Harvey family. Back then, Grandma was forced to drive you out of the family. You are a man. You have
to face your punishment after what you have done. Look at you right now, loathing everyone in the
family. Did we impose the charge upon you? You brought it upon yourself. Do you know how much
Grandma wished that you could turn over a new leaf? Are you aware of how much she misses you?"" "
Belle really wanted to p him across his face to make hime to his senses.
"Judging from his unkempt appearance, he was having a rough time. It was apparent that he was
struggling to make ends meet. However, he remained proud and haughty, refusing to admit that he was
in the wrong. How narrow-minded! "
"Calvin and Martin were both men. Tall and handsome as well. However, they were very different in
terms of mindset. "
"You are saying that Grandma hopes I''m doing great and that she misses me? Martin paused for a
moment. Feeling incredulous, he wanted tough. ""You''re wrong. She only regards Calvin as her
grandson whereas I''m just a nobody. I''m just the son of a mistress. Someone who isn''t worthy of love
and affection. Even if you guys hadn''t driven me out of the family, I would have left sooner orter."" "
Belle was so pissed when she heard what he said that she shook with fury.
It seemed that he had not learnt from his mistakes. He was being as pessimistic as ever.
"Martin! Unable to hold back her anger, Belle bellowed, ""What are you thinking? Grandma''s health has
been deteriorating, yet all she does is nag about you. She''s worried that you are struggling on your
own. Back then, if Grandma didn''t make that decision, you would still be in jail right now. The
authorities would have med you for my father''s death. You are a man, Martin. How can you be so
dense and misunderstood Grandma''s intention? If you are going to continue behaving in this manner,
nobody will be able to help you anymore."" "
"Belle was out of breath due to anger. She wanted to find him and bring him back to the family. Now
that the Harvey family was in trouble and Grandma wasn''t in her best shape, he should at least return
to see her. However, he was really an a*shole. How could he act as if everyone had betRhysed him?"
"D*mn, what a scoundrel!"
"Martin flushed scarlet. Guilt trickled through him when he saw Belle blowing a fuse. He had never
been able to refute her words. To make matters worse, he realized that he was a little afraid of her. "
"Martin, Grandma is currently very ill and the Harvey family is facing a crisis. I havee over
personally to inform you about the matter. Make up your mind by tomorrow. I will be at the Harvey
Group''s Los Angeles'' branch and I will return to A City tomorrow morning. If you decide to return with
me, thene and find me. If you don''t, you better not regret it in the future. Belle warned him as she
shot a re at him. She turned around and was about to leave."
"Belle, is Grandma really unwell? Martin asked with concern. He just recalled what she had said. When
he was still a kid, Sophia would keep him and Aleenapany at night whenever they visited the
Harvey Group. Sophia had always taken good care of them by herself. Afraid that someone would hurt
them, she always protected them well and cared about them. The thought crossed his mind and he
soon came to his senses. For some inexplicable reason, he was filled with anguish when he heard the
news that she had fallen ill. "
"He hated Sophia for choosing Belle to marry Calvin back then. Sophia had always thought highly of
Calvin and showered him with praise. Her heart swelled with pride whenever she saw Calvin and she
always looked at him with affection. However, she had never looked at him in the same manner. "
"He knew that Calvin was far more important than him to Sophia. He loathed her for being biased,
which was why he had always given her the cold shoulder. However, upon receiving the news that she
was ill, he was deeply troubled. After all, he had always regarded her as someone very strong and
capable. She had treated him well when he was just a kid. She was family. The thought crossed his
mind and he couldn''t help quivering. "
Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Grandma is extremely ill and weak right now. She is practically bed-ridden. However, she still nags
about you. I can tell that she is extremely worried about you. Belle turned around and said slowly. Once
she was done, she sniggered and said sardonically, ""Martin, I never expected you to be so heartless.
Rosa may not be part of the family but she is far better than you. Upon receiving news that the family
was in trouble, she came over right away and took our side. As for you, what were you doing? You are
part of the family, yet you did nothing, pretending as if you have not received the news. You didn''t even
bother asking how we are doing. To be frank, I feel sorry for you."" "
Her gaze fell upon him. It was icy cold. A look of disappointment crossed her face.
"Martin gaped in disbelief. After a while, he asked in a hurry, ""What did you say? Rosa has returned to
the Harvey Group?"""
"A faint smile touched the corners of her mouth and she chided him. ""Yes, so tell me, is she better
than you?"" "
"Upon finishing her sentence, she stared at him for a while. Noticing the surprise and joy on his face,
her lips held a faint smile and her eyes twinkled. She turned around and left. "
"At that moment, as she was turning around, relief washed over her."
She knew that Martin would definitely return with her.
"Looking confident, her silhouette soon disappeared from his sight. For a while, Martin stood there in a
daze. "
"Rosa, you have returned to the Harvey Group. Do you still feel that you are part of the family? "
His eyes began to shine with hope and his face lit up with joy. All his sorrows vanished in an instant. He
thought for a while before he turned around and returned to the basement.
"When Belle returned to the factory, Jersey was already waiting for her arrival. "
"Belle, you are finally here. Jersey approached her upon seeing her. He greeted her cordially but his
expression was solemn. "
He had been in the automobile industry for a very long time. He knew very well that thepany was
in deep trouble.
"Hello, Mr. Levin. Belle smiled. The smile warmed her eyes. She was calm andposed and did not
seem to be in a panic. "
"Mr. Levin nodded in approval. Belle was definitely a capable woman. Despite the crisis they were
facing, she remained calm andposed. It was rare to see someone like her."
"Joey was also in the office. When he saw Belleing in, he stood up and was about to leave. "
"Mr. Wilson, you may stay. I have something to discuss with you guys today. Belle stopped him in the
nick of time. "
The three of them sat down at the table.
"Mr. Levin, if the factory was to start producing cars installed with the telematics system, would you be
able to do it within a month? Belle asked right away once she sat down at the table. "
Telematics system? Jersey was shocked. He then sighed in exasperation.
"For the time being, only the Atkinson Corp had seeded in developing the high-tech system. The
Harvey Group had started developing the system a littleter. Hence, it was still in the testing phase. It
will be near impossible to finish it within a month. "
"He shook his head right away and sighed. ""Belle, it''s not something I can achieve even if I wish to."""
"I know. Belle smiled and said confidently, ""However, the good news is, the Atkinson Corp has agreed
to share their system with us."" "
"Belle continued, ""Mr. Wilson, you can go over to the Atkinson Corp tomorrow to get the system from
their technician. So, I would like to ask, will you guys be able to produce the cars installed with the
telematics system within a month, now that you have the Atkinson Corp''s system?"" "
Belle looked at Jersey with a solemn expression.
"Jersey had a lot of experience in the automobile industry. If he said that it was possible, then the n
would definitely work out. "
"Jersey was surprised. The Atkinson Corp was actually willing to share their system with them at a
critical period like this. How noble of them! Thepetition had always been fierce in the car industry.
It was already a great blessing if they did not stab them in the back during difficult times like these. To
his surprise, they were willing to help them. It was a miracle indeed! "
"After a while, he came to his senses. In the exuberance of joy and jubtion, he responded, ""Then, it
will not be a problem at all!"" "
"Great! A monthter, we will introduce new cars into the market and start all over. Belle was thrilled
when Jersey confirmed that the n was feasible. She continued, ""One monthter, I will register for a
newpany and we will make some arrangements to the current system. At present, with our unique
design and the telematics system, I believe that we will stand a chance in the market. Let us forget our
failures and start all over."" "
"As soon as she finished her sentence, Jersey and Joey understood at once what she nned to do.
Their faces lit up with joy and Jersey couldn''t help nodding in approval. He was delighted with Belle''s
suggestion. "
The three of them then proceeded to discuss the details. Their meeting went on throughout the
afternoon and endedte at night.
"The n would change everything. One monthter, the Harvey Group would be able to start all over
abroad and conquer the market. Although they were still kind of stuck right now back in their home
country and were nowhere near discovering the truth. However, at least, they would be able to conquer
the international market. In fact, they would be able to do so better than before. It was going to y a
crucial role to save the Harvey Group."
Puffy clouds drifted across the vast blue sky.
"Belle stood at the entrance of the airport and watched as people walked in and out of the building.
Listening to the sound of traffic and the nesnding, she felt as she was in a dream."
"Back then, she and Calvin poured their hearts out to one another at the airport in Los Angeles and
they became closer ever since. Although many things happened afterwards, they were still madly in
love with each other. Hence, that was why she really loved this ce. "
"Standing there, she stole another nce at the ce before she spun around, ready to enter the
lobby."
"Someone seemed to be following her. Whenever she took a step forward, the person would follow suit
and as soon as she stopped, the person woulde to a halt as well. "
She frowned and spun around abruptly.
The person wanted to turn around and run away but he eventually stopped in his tracks.
"Martin was standing behind her with a bag in his hand. He was looking pretty abashed. He looked at
her timidly without any confidence, just like a child who had done something wrong and was begging
for forgiveness."
"Belle almost burst outughing. She took a long, hard look at him. Her expression was unreadable. "
She then turned around and continued to walk towards the lobby.
Martin followed closely behind. It was as if he was afraid that Belle would disappear suddenly and he
would never be able to return to his family.
"Over the years, he had struggled tremendously in prison and had lost his dignity. As a result, he
loathed everyone in the Harvey family for being so heartless. "
"However, when Belle found him..."
"At that moment, his perception of her had changedpletely. "
"She was now his sister-inw, the person in charge of Harvey Manor. "
"Aside from admiration and respect, he trusted her."
"He followed her, depending on her to find his way home. She was the one who guided him when he
was lost. "
