Chapter 466 I Promise You
"Liya said this with tears in her eyes and began another heartfelt confession. ""I''ve said that as long as
I''m with you, I''m willing to do anything for you. The premise is that you have to marry me publicly as
your second wife. Don''t worry, I love you, and I''ll never hurt you and Belle. I''ll also stand side by side
with you in dealing with Zoe and getting rid of her from the business world. Calvin, will you agree to
this?"""
Her words were true and she spoke naturally without concealing anything. Calvin knew that she was
opening up and was also mentioning the conditions.
"She would do anything for him, stand by him, with the condition that he would have to take her as his
second wife, in a fair and legal manner like Maxim."
"Belle''s tearful and sorrowful face shed across Calvin''s mind, as well as Jerry''s clear and innocent
eyes, hidden with worry. All of a sudden, his heart throbbed with pain."
"How could he do something like that? How could he bring this woman back to Harvey Manor? He
already had no choice but to be in am ambiguous rtionship with her. If he really had to take her as
his second wife, it would be better for Belle, who had such a strong sense of pride, to go to jail."
"Go to jail? When he thought of these three words, his heart trembled. To have such a beautiful woman
go to jail just because she was maliciously framed? It was just too despicable."
"He mmed his fist heavily on the table, gritting his teeth."
"Calvin, what''s wrong with you? Seeing the anger in his eyes, Liya was secretly pleased. She knew
that her words had worked their way into his heart and that he was struggling. However, she was not in
a hurry at the moment. So, she asked, with her face full of concern for him."
"You can obtain the evidence used to frame Belle? He stared at her, with her red eyes, and asked,
word for word."
"Yes. Liya blinked her eyes and nodded solemnly. ""Calvin, don''t worry. I will treat Belle like my sister
and the mistress of Harvey Manor. I can only cosy up to her. I don''t want her to go to jail as well. She''s
so gorgeous, and she''s wholeheartedly thinking of ourpany. It''s impossible for her to do such a
thing. As long as you agree to my request, I''ll definitely think of something to obtain the evidence used
to frame her and clear up her false usations."""
She said it very confidently that one had to take her word for it.
"Calvin looked at Liya with a fierce gaze. Looking at how she spoke confidently and firmly, the waves in
his heart swirled and rolled."
"Now that there was solid evidence and Zoe had it with her, Liya was undoubtedly a good candidate,
in order to attack and win against her. Thinking of how he had been intimate with her for the past few
days, wasn''t that the reason he had done so?"
"He had long suspected how Liya could enter the Harvey Group. He had gotten Luca to investigate and
was already fully aware of the situation. Now that Liya had personally exposed herself today and that it
matched the results of his investigation, it meant that she wasn''t lying. She was only trying to get him to
marry her and hadn''t done anything that would harm the Harvey Group. She was speaking about
conditions and negotiations. To put it bluntly, she was giving him a chance not to let Belle go to jail."
"If he couldn''t make use of this opportunity, he might not get another simr chance in the future. Since
she was able to negotiate with him so confidently, it meant that she was certain that she believed in
herself."
"Now that the menace engulfing the Harvey Group was drawing nearer and nearer, he had to find a
breakthrough."
"In other words, if he could save Belle, so what if he were to agree with Liya''s condition? It was just a
matter of status, which was better than having Belle in the cold prison. In addition, the woman he loved
was Belle. If Liya insisted on marrying him, it was her business if he neglected her. Everything would be
alright, as long as he loved Belle and gave her all his love."
"Now, that Sergio was forcing him and acting aggressive, and he could not find a breakthrough."
"It was better to promise her and take one step forward, followed by the other. To hold on to the present
and keep Belle safe was his priority. As for the future, he would act ording to the situation."
"Well, then. I promise you. He mmed his fist on the table and said, word for word, ""However, before
ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
I take you as my second wife, I want to get the evidence that had been used to frame Belle first."""
"Alright, that''s no problem at all. Liya''s eyes sparkled, nodding in a hurry as she snuggled into his
chest. ""When I get the evidence, I''ll deliver it to you and we''ll immediately register for our marriage in
Ennd."""
She spoke softly in a matter-of-fact manner and pressed her face against his chest.
"Calvin stood up straight, allowing Liya to cling her body onto his. His body was as stiff as a stone
pir."
"Her words made it seem as if she was making a deal. No matter how much he thought about it, Calvin
felt disgusted."
"Let''s go back. We still have to work tomorrow. Soon, his cold voice rang, as he pushed her away
lightly and strode outside."
"Liya was left behind by him. For a moment, she was absent-minded, but her face brightened up in no
time, and the joy in her heart surged like a tidal wave."
Calvin had already agreed to marry her.
"She was going to be ady of honor soon. Countless jewelry and a vast amount of wealth were
awaiting her arrival. Her life would be so glorious. From then on, she would live an extravagant life, and
enjoy an infinite amount of glory."
"As long as Calvin married her in Ennd or in any other country, she would be his wife in name, and
all his properties would be hers. Even if they really went their own ways in the future, thepensation
alone was a considerable sum, let alone sharing a portion of his properties. She had already consulted
awyer about all this."
She would soon be one of the world''s richestdies.
"Although she wouldn''t have a good reputation as she was not his legal wife, it was a whole lot
betterpared to those famous celebrities in the entertainment industry. She believed that there were
many women in the entertainment industry who wanted to approach bachelors like Calvin. Not to
mention being his second wife, many women were even willing to sacrifice themselves to be his secret
lover."
"Liya didn''t expect such a good thing to be bestowed upon her. She really had to thank Zoe since
she owed it all to her, now that she could marry into a wealthy family like Cindere."
"Thinking of Zoe, she snorted, with a cold smile on her face."
"From now on, she needed to help Calvin see through Zoe''s schemes and not let her seed. If
Zoe seeded, she would only lose her wealth if she married Calvin in the future."
"When she walked out, Calvin had already driven away, leaving her alone."
"Knowing that he was in a bad mood, she wasn''t angry. There would be plenty of opportunities for her
to get along with him in the future. If he couldn''t ept it now, he would be able to do so one day, and
he would love her so much until he couldn''t extricate himself from her. She was confident."
"On a quiet night, the moonlight seeped in through the branches outside the window, casting the
bedroom with a nched and foggy atmosphere."
"After he left Liya, Calvin returned home Tristany."
"With Liya''s words, his heart calmed and settled down."
"Now that Liya had approached him with that purpose in mind, what she said would be true. That was
to say, Belle would not be in danger for the time being."
"After he''d washed up, he stood by the bed and bent down to look at Belle, feeling a sense of guilt and
unease."
"She didn''t sleep well as she was frowning, and there was a suffering expression on her face."
"Jerry was sleeping in her embrace, with a satisfied smile on his tender face."
Belle held Jerry tightly in her arms as he slept soundly. His pink and tender face made him look
adorable.
Such a peaceful and warm scene made Calvin''s heart surge with happiness and sweetness.
"He wanted to protect this happiness that belonged to him even by any means necessary, and no one
could destroy it."
"He gently lifted her hand and picked up Jerry, who was in her arms. Looking at his tender face, he
gave him a gentle kiss and his heart was filled with happiness."
He carried Jerry to the nursery in the next room and handed him over to the nanny. He then returned to
his room and climbed onto the bed.
"He heard crying sounds as if someone was sobbing while having a nightmare. He had his heart in his
throat. Looking down, in the moonlight, he saw that Belle''s eyes were closed, but she was crying in her
sleep."
"His heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp knife, with blood oozing out of it."
"He stretched out his hands and gently held her in his arms, hugging her tightly. The pain in his heart
was uncontroble. If she knew that he wanted to marry Liya and bring her into this family, what would
she do?"
"Frankly speaking, he had no idea. If Liya were to threaten him with the evidence, what should he do?"
"He didn''t care. He wanted to keep Belle and Jerry safe. He wanted aplete family. This was his
happiness for a lifetime. He had to do everything he could to strive for it. As for everything else, nothing
canpare to that."
"By doing so, he could at least give Jerry aplete family."
"Thinking of this, he thought of the pain Belle would feel when she discovered the news, and his heart
was filled with iparable pity and pain."
"To have to make such a choice, his pain would be no less than hers."
"As if she had smelled his familiar scent, Belle stretched out her arms and wrapped them tightly around
his waist. She buried her face in his chest, looking like a child who depended on her family."
"Happiness surged in Calvin''s heart, but it was also heavy at the same time."
He slowlyy down with her in his arms.
"As long as her soft and delicate body touched his, he would feel excited and tempted at once, but for
now, he only wanted to hold her and sleep quietly."
"Hey down with her in his arms for a while. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard her soft
voice, saying, ""Calvin."""
"He opened his eyes, not sure if Belle had already woken up, but there was no response."
"Calvin, tell me, where have you been tonight? Belle suddenly lifted her head from his arms and looked
at him with her bright, beautiful eyes, that were shining brightly in the dark night."
"Calvin''s body stiffened, and he didn''t answer her question."
"Did you go out with Liya? She asked in a low voice, ""Tell me, were you with that woman?"""
Calvin was feeling extremelyplicated.
"Belle had regained her rationality and had thought about it for the night. She decided to talk to him
openly and honestly. They could not go on like that, as it would drive her crazy."
"Women were like that. Once they had fallen in love with a man, they would easily go crazy over him."
