Chapter 479 Ballroom Party


    "Martin, I already know about this. I''m trying to think of a solution, Hudson said indifferently, ncing at


    Martin. However, Hudson seemed very serious."


    "Upon hearing this, Martin was surprised. He spoke hastily."


    "So, Uncle Hudson, you already know where my Dad is, don''t you?"


    "No. Hudson shook his head. ""I only know that your father is missing, but I don''t know his exact


    whereabouts yet. It''s very likely that your father has provoked a terrorist organization there. The


    situation right now is veryplicated. I''ve already sent people over. Stay at home and wait for me.


    When you''re needed, I''ll let you know."""


    "On the other hand, Hudson remained calm."


    "However, Martin was desperate and his sweat was all over his face."


    "Martin, rest assured. Evan is my brother. Besides, the Harvey family doesn''t have many


    descendants. So, I will try my best. I hope you can learn from the past and be a good man. Try your


    best to take the right path and settle down. This way, you can win glory for our family."


    The words made Martin rx. His face was full of shame as he lowered his head.


    "After returning to Fragrance Garden, Hudson and Calvin entered the study. The father and son duo


    closed the door and stayed in the study the whole night beforeing out."


    "In the splendid hall, rhythmic jazz music yed on. The hall was teeming with the smell of red wine


    and people''sughter, and it was also filled with enthusiasm."


    "The blue, exquisite pcentern hung high in the middle of the hall, surrounded by a circle of small


    decorativemps. The floor was covered with a scarlet carpet and low-hanging velvet blue curtains.


    The whole hall was romantic and charming."


    "Under the dim and gentle light, a pair of wealthy businessmen of A City arrived sessively with their


    wives and lovers."


    "This was a banquet held by the rich businessmen of A City, which was their custom. It was held by the


    elected members of the chamber ofmerce. On the surface, it was a social event, but in fact, it was


    a fight or collusion between the rich people."


    Oscar''s shiny hair wasbed back neatly. He wore a suit and walked in a high-profile manner with


    the elegant and gorgeous Zoe.


    "It was a pity that his short and portly figure, in contrast to Zoe, made the scene so striking that it

    looked funny."


    "However, that night, Zoe was in a surprisingly good mood. She had a decent smile on her face, and


    based on her gaze, she seemed to be in high spirits."


    "Following that, Calvin, who was holding Liya''s hand, also walked in gracefully."


    "Without a doubt, the renowned Harvey family of A City took up the spotlight of the banquet. It had


    always been the case that as long as Calvin appeared, he would immediately attract everyone''s


    attention."


    Mr. Kemp from the chamber ofmerce stood in the hall and respectfully greeted Calvin.


    "Liya was dressed in a noble evening gown with bejewelled hands. Her face was flushed with


    happiness. She stood next to Calvin gracefully, clinging to him closely. The happiness and satisfaction


    on her face came from the bottom of her heart."


    "As soon as Calvin appeared in the hall, he immediately attracted the praise of the women present. He


    had a charming smile. Although he talked andughed with a group of rich businessmen, he only had


    concern and consideration for Liya, who was close to him."


    "This woman, Liya, became the center of attention of the party that night. Calvin made her the rising


    star within high society in A City overnight."


    Even Zoe''s dazzle was overshadowed by her.


    "Zoe stood in a corner of the hall, her hand wrapped around Oscar''s arm while her body stiffened.


    Oscar dared to use his fleshy hands to take advantage of this situation and caress her body, causing


    her to feel extremely disgusted."


    Zoe stared at Liya and immediately narrowed her eyes.


    "As the saying went, clothes make the man."


    "d in the fabric of the ssy evening gown and all kinds of jewelry, Liya seemedpletely


    different. It was as if she had been reborn. Her temperament was just like that of an aristocraticdy


    who came from a rich family. She was the most beautiful woman in the hall."


    What was even more enviable was that she was with the graceful Calvin.


    Thebination of masculine strength and feminine beauty was so impable that it blinded the


    audience present.


    The media caught wind of the news and began to make their move.


    "Mr. Harvey, I heard that we are expecting a happy announcement from you and Miss Liya. Is that true?


    A media reporter took advantage of the moment, as Calvin was resting, to approach him and boldly


    conduct an interview."


    Haven''t you already reported it? Calvin frowned as he asked unhappily.


    "The media reporter responded with an ''oh'' and looked embarrassed. Soon, his face was full of


    smiles."


    "Then, congrattions to you, Mr. Harvey and Mrs. Harvey."


    Calvin shed a faint smile and did notment.


    "When they saw that the reporter had seeded in conducting the interview, in an instant, a few more


    journalists surrounded them."


    "Mr. Harvey, may I ask, when are you nning to hold a wedding with Miss Liya? Will this wedding be


    the grandest wedding of the century?"


    "A thought shed across the depths of Calvin''s mind. He then smiled and said magnanimously, ""This


    depends on Miss Liya."" After saying this, he ced his arm around Liya''s waist, lowered his head, and


    asked in an affectionate tone, ""Is that right, darling?"""


    Liya flushed when she heard Calvin and she had a wide smile.


    "It looks like Mr. Harvey and Miss Liya are so in love with each other. shes of light constantly


    beamed from the cameras, and many peopleplimented them."


    "However, there were reporters with a sense of justice. At this moment, he was not afraid of death and


    brought up a sensitive topic."


    "Mr. Harvey, may I ask, if you marry Liya, will your current wife, Belle, be sad? Did she agree to this?"


    "As soon as he asked this touchy subject, all the people present immediately quietened down."


    "To everyone''s surprise, Calvin smiled confidently."


    "My wife is gentle and virtuous, and she is very understanding. She has never opposed my decision,


    and she respects me very much."


    Was that really the case? Rumor had it that Calvin was afraid of his wife.


    "Nevertheless, after all, this was how the wealthy operated. So what if it was real or fake? It was just


    like the current King of Gamblers, who was almost 70 years old. There was a rumor that he was going


    to marry his fifth wife!"


    "Then, Mr. Harvey, which country are you going to register in? Is it the UK? Where are you going to


    hold the wedding?"


    "You will know when the timees. Calvin was truly patient that day. Although he did not answer the


    questions in aprehensive manner, he answered them one by one."


    "Mr. Harvey, your second wife is gentle and beautiful. You are so lucky. It''s so enviable. A reporter


    ......


    "Surrounded by reporters, the smile on Liya''s face was as bright as the stars as she was overjoyed


    right now."


    "After a while, Maxim entered arm-in-arm with Lenny. They attracted the attention of some reporters."


    The ce was lively.


    "When Sergio entered, almost everyone arrived. He was a politician and came here alone. Compared


    to Calvin''s high-profile manner, he was really subtle."


    "After the interview, the reporters left. Maxim finally saw the high-profile Calvin arm-in-arm with Liya. He


    smiled and looked at them as if he was looking at a monster."


    "After a while, in a secluded corner, he pulled Calvin over and quietly teased him when the women


    were gathered together. ""I didn''t think that you being afraid of your wife was just some made-up story.


    You''ve changed so quickly in the blink of an eye. You''re even better than us when ites to


    redefining the terms."""


    "Calvin balled his hand into a fist, with a faint smile on his face."


    "Didn''t I learn it from you? It''s the trend now, isn''t it? He snorted and didn''tment."


    "Well, you''re so fierce. Maxim reached out his hand and hit him on the chest. ""Can I reallypare to


    you? I have no love, but only the family''s interests. Now, I have found my true love, and don''t want to


    let Lenny suffer. So, I have to do this. But Belle is extremely in love with you, and she is so smart,


    virtuous, and elegant. She didn''t expect you to do such a thing. I don''t know how hurt she is. From the


    way I see it, Liya is beautiful, butpared to Belle, I really don''t think she is better than her. You''d


    better be careful and not y with fire. When you regret it, don''t me me for not warning you."""


    "There was an instant where Calvin''s face turned terrifying but soon, he chuckled."


    "Maxim shook his head with pity, feeling sympathy for Belle in his heart."


    "He had no choice but to take this path. He and his wife had no feelings at all. If he had a choice from


    the beginning, he would not have done this."


    "However, Calvin waspletely different from him. He was really in love with Belle, and he also loved


    his family. At this moment, he waspletely unable to understand Calvin''s thoughts."


    "The party was very spirited, with vibrant songs and dances. The scene was grand and ssy."


    "This was the highest echelon of the banquets that Liya had attended before. She was so excited that


    her face turned red. She followed Calvin all the time like an innocent, clingy girl."


    "Calvin was courteous to everyone, and his smile was very subtle."


    "Liya, let''s toast."


    "After a while, Calvin took Liya''s hand. He held a wine ss in one hand and stepped forward with his


    long legs. He had started toasting them elegantly."


    "Zoe looked tense, and the stiff smile on her face made her look hollow and listless, no matter how


    one looked at her."


    "The most abhorrent thing was that Oscar''s stout body kept getting close to her, and that virile smell of


    Oscar''s was off-putting."


    "When Calvin took Liya''s hand and slowly came over to toast her, her face turned a little pale. Her


    hand, which was in Oscar''s hand, was hidden in her palm, and her heart beat violently."


    "Calvin''s tall and slender body carried a faint, masculine aura as he approached her. The smile on his


    face was adequate enough to captivate all women. He was polite and extremely refined."


    "As long as a woman took a look at such a man, it will be pleasing to the eye. Zoe was enticed by his


    elegance and finally got rid of the nausea she got from Oscar."


    "Mr. Jones, Miss Yates, I''ve heard a lot about you. Let''s toast. Calvin raised his wine ss with a


    cheerful smile and proposed a toast. It was as if he was not suspicious of the Sky Sword Group that


    was seizing the businesses from the Harvey family. His generosity and elegance, coupled with his


    captivating voice, were fascinating and enchanting."


    "This was a man born and destined to be noble. He was facing a crisis, but at the same time, he was


    talking andughing, looking calm andposed."


    "At this moment, Zoe had a feeling that her revenge ns could not destroy this man. He was born


    to be a business expert and nobody could change his mind easily."


    "Mr. Harvey, Miss Liya, thank you and cheers. Oscar immediately smiled and kept nodding his head in


    return. After both of them clinked their sses, he drank the wine in his ss in one gulp. He burped


    and his face was full of admiration. ""Mr. Harvey, your new wife is as pretty as a picture. You''re really


    lucky."""


    "As he spoke, he sized up Liya as he gazed at her. He couldn''t hide the envy in his eyes."


    "Zoe nced at him coldly and her cold gaze also unconsciously drifted to Liya''s happy face. A sour


    feeling welled up in her heart. However, in an instant, the smile on her face became seductive and


    charming once again."


    "Mr. Harvey, thank you for your ttery. I''ll toast you first. Zoe picked up her wine ss and clinked it


    against Calvin''s. Then, she gracefully finished her wine in one gulp."


    "She removed her hand from Oscar''s hand without anyone noticing, and the smile on her face became


    more and more charming."


    "Mr. Harvey, I have to thank your deep-pocketed Harvey Group for allowing a smallpany like mine


    the opportunity to survive. Today, I must toast you, no matter what. She walked to the side and poured


    two sses of red wine at the table. She handed over a ss of wine to Calvin, and a waiter relieved


    him of the empty one in his hand."


    Calvin was stunned for a moment before taking the wine ss from Zoe with his slender fingers. His


    fingertips vaguely brushed across Zoe''s slim fingers. Heughed heartily.


    "Miss Yates, you are so funny. You are amazing. Within such a short period of time, yourpany


    prospered dramatically, which is why I truly admire you. I must drink this ss of wine, Miss Yates."


    The two raised their sses and clinked them in the air.


    They were all smiling.


    "After that, both of them drank the wine in their sses simultaneously."
