Chapter 465 I Want You to Marry Me
Really? What do you want to tell me? Go ahead. Calvin narrowed his eyes. The smile on his face was
as charming as ever.
"Calvin, I want to be your wife. I want you to marry me. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Liya
blinked her gorgeous eyes and expressed her thoughts clearly."
"Marry her? A gleam of light shed across Calvin''s eyes. He clenched his winess, his body
stiffened."
"Liya, do you know that I already have a family? It''s impossible for me to marry you. His face sank, and
his voice was chilly."
This woman didn''t know her ce. How could she make such an unreasonable request? She really
didn''t know how to toe the line.
"Calvin, I know that you and Belle are very close. Seeing Calvin''s gloomy face, Liya''s heart sank, but
she was not willing to give up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be with him. She had to change her
choice of words and said ingratiatingly, ""Calvin, it''s just that I love you. I want to spend the rest of my
life with you. There''s nothing more to that."""
"Calvin''s eyes were ice-cold as he looked her in the eye and said, word for word, ""It''s best for you not
to have any improper thoughts. Let me remind you, Belle is my real and legal wife. The family rules
have long beenid down, and no divorce is allowed. Don''t even think about it. I will never agree to it.
Please respect me in the future and don''t mention anything about this again. Otherwise, this will be the
end of us."""
"He said it coldly and decisively, without any room for negotiation."
"Calvin, you''ve misunderstood me. Liya''s heart sank, and her eyes were filled with wounded tears as
she pouted. Then, she said, ""Don''t worry. I won''t ask you to divorce her. I just want to be yours. I don''t
care about all the fame and status."""
"As she said this, she snuck a look at Calvin from the corners of her eyes. Seeing that the expression
on his face showed signs of ease, she lowered her head with her eyes brimming with tears, as she
used her hands to wipe them away."
"Seeing how pitiful she looked, as if she was a little girl who had been bullied, Calvin knew that his tone
was slightly too harsh. After all, she was still a young woman. He softened his tone and said, ""Liya, as
long as you work hard for thepany and help me ovee this crisis, I will reward you greatly and
let you have your marriage in a glorious manner. It''ll be worthwhile for you, as you''ve lived in Harvey
Manor when you were young."""
"A sneer emerged at the corner of Liya''s mouth. No matter how much reward she received, she would
not be able to enter a join family. She would not be able to live a decent life and stand by his side
gloriously. She was unwilling to give in."
"Compared to marrying a mediocre man, it was better to be married to him as the second wife."
Wasn''t this now a popr trend in A City?
"Maxim was going to marry Lenny, who would soon be his second wife, with an official status.
She could live in a luxurious mansion and apany her husband to all kinds of high society events.
All these things were possible."
"When she thought about it, a smile appeared on her face again."
"Calvin, I don''t want to marry anyone else. I just want to stay with you for the rest of my life, even if I''m
merely the second wife. It''s true, Calvin. I''m telling the truth. There was sincerity in her eyes. ""I will
respect Belle and live with her in peace. She will always be your legal wife. I will not care about any title

or status, as long as I can love you."""
"Her voice was melodious and full of passion. She looked at him with her big eyes, full of bashfulness,
and her face was filled with anticipation."
"She knew that it was impossible to ask Calvin to divorce Belle. The world''s most striking wedding,
which cost 500 million dors, had blinded the entire world. Liya knew that she could not have that as
well."
"However, if Calvin was willing to take her as his second wife, it would be much better than to have her
marry an ordinary man, even though she might only spend 100 million dors on the wedding. She had
already nned it out."
"Furthermore, a few days ago, her father forced her to marry a so-called rich, middle-aged man, who
was only worth a few hundred million dors, for the sake of his medical expenses and greed for
pension. He was iparable to Calvin, in terms of wealth and social status, not to mention that
Calvin was young and handsome."
"She was a smart person and would not miss this valuable opportunity. What''s more, she was confident
that she could captivate and hold onto a man''s heart."
"As long as she had the love of a man, anything rted to status could be discussedter."
"Liya, are you crazy? Why do you have such a thought? Do you remember how your mother died? At
that time, your mother was looked down upon when she brought you to Harvey Manor. And what was
the reason? It''s because your mother hadn''t followed the right path and wanted to take these shortcuts.
You have to know that marriage isn''t just about love, but to coexist together in reality. Besides, the
person I love is Belle. This will never change. I won''t argue with you because you''re still young. But I
hope you cane to your senses as soon as possible and get rid of these inappropriate thoughts.
Calvin persuaded her earnestly, almost as if he was trying to persuade her with every word he could."
"However, Liya seemed to have made up her mind. She immediately spoke."
"That''s the reason I want to be your second wife. Just like Maxim and Lenny, we will have our marriage
registration in Ennd and host a wedding. You can then marry me publicly and I''ll be able to live in
Harvey Manor. That way, I won''t beughed at and discriminated against, said Liya loudly. Her eyes
were filled with determination as she stared at him."
Calvin was astounded.
"It was really impossible to guess what this woman was thinking. He really didn''t expect her to have this
thought in mind, and she was unyielding."
"It seemed that he couldn''t stay with this woman any longer. Calvin initially wanted to expose her and
pull Zoe out from behind the scenes, but now it seemed that he couldn''t go on this path anymore. He
had to find another way."
That was right. The wealthy and powerful families in A City did practise the tradition of taking second
wives but it was carried out in secret. All of it started with Maxim marrying his second wife in public.
"However, all of that had nothing to do with him."
"It was impossible for him to do such a thing to harm Belle. If it wasn''t for the fact that Liya was useful
to him and that she had connections with Harvey Manor, he wouldn''t even give his attention to her. The
person he loved was Belle. Except for her, all the other women were not of his concern. It was even
more impossible for him to agree to such a ridiculous thing."
Liya''s face immediately sank. Her gaze turned cold and frightening.
"Liya, I''ll repeat it myself. Such a thing is impossible for me. There''s already a woman whom I love.
After uttering coldly, he sprung up from his seat and was about to leave."
"Calvin, don''t be agitated. Let me tell you. If you can agree to my request, I will give you the evidence
that is used to frame Belle, clear her of her usation and promise that she will not go to jail.
Otherwise, you''ll have no choice but to see Belle go to prison. By then, you still can''t be with her. Liya
knew that Calvin would behave like that. So, she stood up and spoke with confidence."
"As soon as she said this, Calvin immediately stopped and turned around with shock on his
face. ""What did you just say?"""
"There was a smug smile on Liya''s face. At this moment, shepletely calmed down as she
deliberately continued slowly. ""Calvin, I can obtain the evidence used to frame Belle and promise that
she won''t have to go to jail."""
What else do you know? Calvin returned and stretched out his hand to grab hold of her jaw. His eyes
gleamed with a murderous intent.
"However, Liya was not afraid of him. Zoe was right. Belle was his weakness. As long as they held
onto this weak spot, they could do whatever they wanted. Now, it seemed that it was absolutely the
right time."
"Calvin, let go of me. You''re hurting me. Calvin''s fingers grasped onto her jaw. His hand tightened, and
his gaze grew more and more horrifying."
"Liya also saw the helplessness and pain in his eyes. She knew that at this moment, he would do
anything to save Belle. He was now at a dead end."
"Calvin fixed his gaze on her. ""It''s best that you don''t y tricks on me. I can dote on you, or I could
destroy you. You should already know about my reputation."""
"Calvin, how can you say such nasty words? I don''t mean any harm. I just want to continue loving you.
You''re really heartless since you''re actually hurting my feelings like that. Liya''s eyes began to be
moist and well up with tears, as she said in a victimized tone."
Calvin pondered for a moment before returning to his seat and settling down.
"Tell me, how did you know about this? What else do you know? He picked up the wine ss in front of
him and asked in a depressed manner."
"Calvin, I know that Zoe, the president of that Sky Sword Group, wants to harm the Harvey Group.
She wants to take revenge on you and make the Harvey Group lose its fortune. Therefore, she is now
trying her best to set you up. In other words, the Harvey Group has already been manipted by her.
That woman is very clever. Liya moved closer to Calvin. Seeing that he didn''t abhor her, she took his
arm and moved her body closer to his."
"Her words surprised Calvin. He thought that Liya had just a minor role. He didn''t expect that what she
said wouldpletely match with the results of his investigation, showing that Liya did know a lot of
things. He clutched his fingers and tried to calm down, turning his face towards her as he asked faintly,
""Then, tell me. How are you able to know all this?"""
"This? Liya smiled charmingly and stared at him affectionately. ""Calvin, to tell you the truth, I''m Zoe''s
highly paid confidante who was sent to the Harvey Group, so that I could approach you."""
"Oh. Calvin''s face instantly flushed. Narrowing his eyes as he walked over, he caressed her face with
his warm fingers and smiled all of a sudden. ""Then, tell me. Why are you telling me all this? Do you
know that by doing so you''re betRhysing Zoe?"""
"Liya reached for his hand and said affectionately, ""Calvin, I love you. How can I allow Zoe to harm
you? I approached you several times to tell you about this, so that you can pay more attention to it.
Compared with Zoe, I''m more willing to help you. You can be certain that even though I have long
worked in the Harvey Group, I have never done anything harmful to the Harvey Group. This is a result
of my love for you. Don''t you understand?"""
