Chapter 491 The Rtionship Between the In-Laws
"Just like when Liya was young, when she and her mother came to the majestic and bold Harvey
Manor, what they got were only eyes of contempt and an indifferent treatment. Everyone despised
them and treated them coldly."
"That day, she entered Harvey Manor once again, and her status was once again looked down upon by
everyone."
"The following breakfast, Calvin kept taking care of Belle. He followed her gently and considerately.
From time to time, he would also pick some food and whenever she frowned slightly, Calvin would
immediately order his servants to take away the dishes she did not like and bring her the things she
wanted."
"Yet, he treated Liya very coldly. He didn''t even look at her during the meal."
"Every servant addressed Belle as Madam, and they respected her from the bottom of their hearts. On
the other hand, they treated her with unspeakable coldness and disgust."
"Such treatment made her feel even more resentful, and she looked at Belle with deep jealousy and

anger from the bottom of her heart."
"However, she didn''t show it. She just sat there in a generous and calm manner."
"She knew that on such an asion, she could only make herself look more energetic. She couldn''t
lose her cool. Otherwise, she would even lose the courage to be there. After all, after she had married
into that prestigious family in the future, such a situation would surely happen most of the time. That
was so, unless she could turn the world upside down and somehow make her status higher than
Belle''s."
"Nheless, for the time being, that was almost impossible."
Breakfast was good.
Yet everyone didn''t eat much.
Everyone was thinking about their own worries.
"Belle didn''t have much appetite either. She only ate a few mouthfuls of food. Calvin would pick her
favorite food for her from time to time, but she didn''t eat them as she felt disgusted."
"After the meal, Hudson and Paige went upstairs first."
And Liya''s purpose of the visit that day hade to an end.
"After breakfast, Calvin took care of Belle carefully and held her hand as they went back upstairs."
"Belle, yourplexion is very bad. Take a good rest at home and don''t overthink. After Calvin sent
Belle upstairs, he settled her down softly, looked at her face, and spoke with distress."
"The corners of Belle''s mouth twitched as a response to him, and she looked at the trees outside the
window expressionlessly."
"Her husband took another woman home as his wife. So, how could she feel good? Was that a joke?"
"Moreover, Calvin wasn''t Belle. So, how could he know how she felt?"
"Belle, remember what I have said. You have to face everything strongly. Trust me, I will make sure that
justice is served, Calvin said as he looked at Belle''s cold and pained face. Although she did not say
anything, he could still feel her pain and unhappiness. His eyes grew darker, and he said in detail,
""Take good care of our son at home. I wille back Tristany tonight. It''s time. So, I''m going to
leave."""
"After urging her again, he left."
"It wasn''t until his footsteps disappeared in the corridor that Belle stood up and walked to the balcony.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she saw Calvin walking outside with Liya."
Behind Calvin''s handsome figure was Liya''s slim figure. They walked towards the electric vehicle in
single file.
"Then, they got into the electric vehicle at the same time. She then saw Liya tugging on Calvin''s arm
and resting her head on his shoulder."
"Then, the electric vehicle rumbled out."
"A spurt of acid shot from Belle''s stomach to her throat. Belle covered her lips with her hands, and
everything in front of her eyes turned dark."
"Everything seemed to have returned to the beginning. It was just like Lexie''s matters from many years
ago. The feeling was too simr, except that she had a beautiful dream in between."
She had woken up from the dream right then.
"Hudson, tell me, why is that? Why did you let Liya join our family? Did you be as muddled as
your son? Paige could not bear it any longer. As soon as she entered the study, she quickly asked
Hudson."
"Paige only found out about Liya''s visit when she woke up in the morning. Before that, Hudson never
mentioned it to her, which was very abnormal."
She did not think that Hudson had turned old and be senile at that point.
"Paige couldn''t tell how much benefit the Harvey family would gain by marrying Liya into the family, but
she could clearly tell how much harm it would bring. "
"That woman was the stepchild that Evan had brought back a few years ago. Forget her family status,
even her family background was unclear. In those few years, her father used that as an excuse to
very troubled by it. If Hudson were to repeat things again, wouldn''t he be digging his own grave?"
"Besides being pretty, that woman didn''t seem to have the potential to be the daughter-inw of a
prestigious family."
"The most important thing was that they had a legitimate daughter-inw in Belle. She was the first
daughter-inw of the Harvey family that couldn''t be divorced, and she was the one who was in charge
of the family too. One didn''t need to think much to know what kind of trauma it would bring Belle by
settling things like that. Would that really be beneficial to Harvey Manor?"
"Thinking of that, Paige panicked."
Your opinion isn''t important. Hudson sat down in front of his desk. He then picked up a book and slowly
read it.
"Hudson, I don''t agree with your decision of marrying Liya into Fragrance Garden. Paige was enraged
by Hudson''s indifference. She immediately spat out those words."
Can you stop messing around foolishly? Hudson was irritated by Paige''s nagging. He put down the
book in his hands and shouted in a deep voice.
"You think I''m messing around foolishly? Paige became even angrier and loudly argued. ""Then, don''t
regret it when Belle leaves. Since her self-esteem is so strong, do you think she can stand this? Don''t
look down on her too much. Do you really think Liya''s value will be greater than Belle''s? What''s more,
Belle is the mother of my grandson. She is Jerry''s biological mother."""
"Paige was very distressed. That morning, she saw how pale Belle''s face was. Although she forced a
smile, the painful look in her eyes still scared Paige. Since she could see it, why couldn''t Hudson?"
"In the face of a disaster that concerns the whole family, we have no choice but to ignore all that. I
believe that given Belle''s wisdom, she wille to understand this, and she will surely bear with it.
Hudson stood up. He muttered to himself with eyes as deep as the sea."
"Crazy, you''re all crazy. Paige couldn''t understand Hudson''s words. She shook her head and shouted.
She then left the room with a m of the door."
"Belle only stayed in the bedroom for a while. Then, she cheered herself up and went to work in the Ink
Garden."
"Despite the fact that she was at Harvey Manor, there were still many family matters to attend to. Since
she did not have to work at thepany anymore, other than going to the Ink Garden to take care of
Sophia everyday, she would always go to the Ink Garden''s office to work for half a day."
"Following Liya''s and Calvin''s scandal, the Harvey Group seemed to have calmed down. Over the past
few days, they had not even heard of any rumors that were unfavorable to them."
"Not long after Belle sat down, as she was looking at some financial statements in the office in the Ink
Garden, she saw Paige walking in with a smile and a gentle expression on her face."
"Mom, you''re here, Belle stood up in a hurry and greeted her with a smile."
"Belle, sit down, Paige said amiably and kindly, and sat opposite Belle with a face full of smiles."
How about it? Is being the person-in-charge difficult? Paige asked with concern.
"It''s okay, I guess. Don''t worry, Mom. These matters are not difficult, Belle replied simply, and smiled
slightly. "
"Oh, alright. Paige nodded. ""Since you''re in charge, you have to take care of the family''s matters. It
must be tough."" Paige''s expression became a little grave as she spoke. Suddenly, she sighed and
said, ""Belle, we have really wronged you with what happened in the morning. I didn''t expect that to
happen either. I thought that your father-inw would not agree to let Calvin marry Liya, but who knew
that he would agree to it. I think that he must have had his difficulties, and hence did so. You''re the first
daughter-inw of our Harvey family, and we all know that. So, please don''t do anything rash. Don''t
quarrel with Calvin either. ording to my observation, Calvin doesn''t love that woman at all. There
must be a reason for this. Let''s wait and see. In any case, Calvin still hasn''t married her, right?"""
Paige tried to ease Belle''s anxiety with an embarrassed expression.
"Belle understood Paige''s intentions. Actually, that matter really had nothing to do with Paige. She
understood that and immediately smiled. ""Mom, you can rest assured. I know what to do."""
"Really? You really are a good girl. Although Paige saw that Belle had said those words with a pained
expression, it could be seen that she didn''t particrly resist the matter. It was only then that Paige''s
heart could calm down a little, and she praised Belle."
"Belle, I''m afraid that it will be difficult for Grandma to recover from her illness. As the person-in-charge,
you have to be prepared, so that you won''t panic and mess things up then. Paige suddenly thought of
Sophia and gave Belle a considerate reminder."
"Belle understood what she meant. In fact, she had been making preparations over the past few days."
"Sophia was only eating porridge to survive everyday. If things went on like that, one could imagine
what would happen in the future."
"Belle, apany me for a walk today, okay? I have some matters regarding Grandma to take care of
too. As soon as Paige said that, Belle understood her intention. Paige wanted to take her out for a walk
to drive away her worries and tofort her, and to apologize for what had happened that morning."
"In any case, Paige''s intentions were good."
"Belle, let''s go. Work is something that you will not finish, no matter what. It''s been a long time since
the both of us had gone out together. Furthermore, we have to buy new sets of clothes for Jerry and for
you too. As for me, since I haven''t gone out for so long, I have something to buy too. Just consider it as
apanying me, Paige said enthusiastically and pulled on Belle. "
"Belle had no choice but to stand up. Also, just then, she heard that Paige was going to settle
Grandma''s affairs. To be honest, she really didn''t know anything about Grandma''s funeral
arrangements. After all, Paige had seen major events before. So, Belle still needed Paige''s advice on
certain matters for the future."
"Moreover, Paige was obviously trying to win her over. As her daughter-inw, she had to know what
was good for her."
"Thus, the inws walked out hand in hand intimately."
"Mom, I''ll go and start the car. As soon as Belle and Paige got off the electric vehicle, Belle was the first
to say something."
"There''s no need to. Belle, we have to go to a lot of ces today. Let the driver drive us. That way, we
can stroll around slowly and enjoy ourselves. Paige had already thought of that. So, she simply said
that with a smile."
"Belle looked up and saw that the driver was already waiting at the gate with the car. So, she did not
force the matter anymore."
"Along the way, Paige was very enthusiastic. As for Belle, except for going along with her conversation
and ttering her, she didn''t say much more."
"Paige knew that Belle was in a bad mood. So, she didn''t force her to be happy either."
"The funeral parlor was not in a very isted ce. In fact, it was in the center of the city. "
"As Belle and Paige just got down, they suddenly saw shing lights shining at them. Before they could
figure out what was going on, arge group of media reporters were already heading towards them."
