Chapter 521 Despicable and Shameless


    "As soon as Belle returned to the Ink Garden''s office, she saw Maud hurriedlying in with a


    panicked look on his face. It was obvious that he had something important to ask her."


    "Madam, I have something to tell you. As soon as Maud entered the room, he respectfully reported to


    Belle."


    "What''s the matter? Belle asked with a smile, prompting him not to be so anxious."


    "It''s like this, Madam. Maud wiped the sweat off his forehead. ""Yesterday, Liya came to find me and


    said that she''s moving into Harvey Manor. Since she insisted that it was Mr. Harvey'' orders, I had no


    choice but to arrange amodation for her."""


    "Maud spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that Belle would be provoked."


    "Belle just replied a faint ''oh'', as a hint of imperceptible pain shed in her eyes, saying tly, ""I


    already know about this matter. Just follow Mr. Harvey'' orders."""


    "Yes, Madam. I''ve already arranged amodation for her ording to the rules of Harvey Manor.


    Seeing that Belle did not have any obvious reactions, Maud rxed a lot. ""There''s one more matter."""


    "Speaking of that, Maud''s face became very uneasy. He had never imagined that Sergio woulde to


    Harvey Manor that day as well and ask him to arrange a ce for him to stay."


    He truly was making things difficult for him.


    That was why he hastily ran over and met Belle for instructions when he saw that she had returned.


    "Mr. Xanthe from Capital City is here as well. He also said that he would be staying in Harvey Manor,


    Maud said with great strain."


    "Sergio was an official who was investigating the Harvey Group right then, and it was clear why he


    wanted to stay at Harvey Manor. That really put Maud in a dilemma and made him worried. So, he


    came to consult the head of the household in a hurry."


    "Upon hearing that, Belle was surprised as well. What was going on? Sergio was going to stay in


    Harvey Manor too? What was that all about?"


    "Just as she was caught by surprise, she heard Ruth''s voice drifting in from the outside. ""Mr. Xanthe,


    thank you foring to visit Old Madam. I would like to thank you on her behalf."""


    "Then, Sergio''s faint voice rang, ""It''s alright. I need to stay here for a while because of official matters.


    Where is the head of the household? Tell her toe and meet me."""


    "Upon hearing that, Belle grew impatient and walked out of the office."


    "Sergio, why have youe to Harvey Manor? she asked Sergio as she walked out with a serious


    expression."


    A charming smile appeared on Sergio''s face when he heard her voice.


    "Belle, I happen to have something to discuss with you. Why don''t you choose a suitable ce for us to


    talk?"


    "Well then,e to my office. Belle couldn''t understand Sergio''s behaviour at that moment. If the


    Harvey Group was guilty of leaking trade secrets, then no one would say anything if he went to the


    Harvey Group to investigate, but how could he move into Harvey Manor so tantly?"


    "Belle, it seems that your life in Harvey Manor is quite good, huh? You''re living quite a luxurious life I


    see. Sergio inspected her office when he went in, sat down on the couch elegantly and crossed his


    legs with a vivid smile on his face."


    Belle''s face had quite an unpleasant look.


    "Sergio, for private reasons, I''m grateful to you because you saved me. But thinking from the business


    perspective, I don''t think you moving into Harvey Manor is the correct thing to do. No matter how guilty


    the Harvey family is, it shouldn''t be to the point of confiscating Harvey Manor, right?"


    "When she returned that day, her traditional husband demanded her not to talk to Sergio anymore."


    "For the sake of her husband''s dignity, she nned not to meet Sergio again in the future, but she


    didn''t expect him to move into Harvey Manor. Great, now they would meet each other often. Wouldn''t


    things be very difficult for her?"


    Sergio leaned his back against the couch and looked up at her with his eyebrows lifted. She had a


    serious expression on her small face. It was obvious that she was critical from the way she looked at


    him. Sergio could not help but to sigh softly.


    "Belle, Calvin''s going to take a second wife soon, but you''re still trying to protect him. It''s really rare to


    have a woman act like this. It''s also because of this that I cherish you even more. I can''t bear to hurt


    you, and I''ll even take risks protecting you, even if it means that I''ll die. However, the fact that I can''t get


    even the slightest bit of pity from you makes me feel quite sad. Sergio sighed and looked into Belle''s


    cold eyes, feeling veryplicated."


    Belle''s face changed slightly.


    "Belle, you also know the Harvey Group is suspected to be guilty of a serious crime. Even until now, we


    have yet to find any substantial evidence. In addition to that, I have also received a report saying that


    the matter had something to do with Harvey Manor in recent days, which caused my senior executives


    to press on this issue even more. I have no choice but to move into Harvey Manor to investigate the


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    matter, and try to find the actual culprit as soon as possible, Sergio said with a helpless expression."


    "Belle felt stuffy and ufortable upon hearing that. She said coldly, ""Sergio, I know very well


    whether the Harvey Group is guilty or not. Youing to Harvey Manor to investigate is too bizarre,


    and everyone knows that you''re doing it on purpose. The fact that the culprit hasn''t been identified yet


    only shows how ipetent the Public Security Department is. So, do you really think it''s appropriate


    for you to move into someone else''s house like this?"""


    Sergio lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath.


    "Belle, why do I have the feeling that you think I had deliberatelye to disturb Harvey Manor? Am I


    really so unbearable?"


    "As he said that, a trace of pain shed across his eyes, and his gaze became a little peculiar. Belle


    couldn''t see through his intentions in the midst of all the smoke, and it made her feel extremely


    "Cough, cough. Belle was choked by the cigarette smoke and began to cough. She covered her mouth,


    as her face turned red and purple because of the coughing."


    "I''m sorry. Sergio suddenly realized that Belle didn''t like the smell of cigarettes. So, he immediately put


    out the cigarette, stood up, and walked towards her, saying, ""Belle, are you okay? You know I''m


    moving in for your own good, right?"""


    "As he spoke, he reached out his hand and was about to pat her back to relieve the coughing."


    "Stop. A loud shout came from behind. In an instant, Sergio''s arm was grabbed by arge and strong


    hand. Due to the fact that it was his left hand, he couldn''t muster any strength and could only let the


    strong hand grasp onto it. Nevertheless, Sergio remained calm, as he knew who it was without even


    thinking."


    "He was not worried at all. In fact, he even had a faint smile on his face as he teased him. ""Mr. Harvey,


    is there a need to be so angry?"""


    "Sergio Xanthe, you''re shameless and despicable! Anger was written all over Calvin''s face. If he came


    just a littleter, that vile hand would have caressed Belle''s back. It was something he couldn''t ept."


    "Hey, Mr. Harvey. You sure have a good memory. Didn''t I say that I''ll be moving in yesterday? Have you


    already forgotten? he said casually."


    "I didn''t forget. I just happened toe looking for you today. Calvin''s expression was cold, as he said


    chillingly, ""Sergio, I know exactly what tricks you have in mind. You''re using the excuse of investigating


    the Harvey Group''s crime to move shamelessly into Harvey Manor. Let me tell you, I won''t let things go


    your way."""


    "Applying a little strength to his hand, Sergio was in so much pain that his expression changed."


    "Calvin, you actually dare to harm a government official. Aren''t you afraid of adding more charges to


    yourself? Sergio was a soldier. So, of course, he wouldn''t lose when ites to their auras. He went to


    Harvey Manor that day in his official uniform. Government officials usually never wore uniforms unless


    they were handling cases. Therefore, he was trying to show the kind of authority that entitled him to be


    there. Since the wounds on his right arm hadn''t healed yet, he couldn''t do anything to fight back. So, he


    used his authority as a public official right then to scold Calvin in a low voice."


    "Belle''s expression changed. Of course, she understood what he meant."


    "Calvin''s face was as cold as ice, and his hand was still gripping Sergio''s hand tightly. The stern glint in


    his eyes could make anyone shiver in fear."


    "Calvin, we''ll talk it out. Belle was worried that Calvin would really hurt Sergio in a fit of anger. After all,


    Sergio went there as a government official, and to bear the crime of interfering with official affairs


    wasn''t a good thing either. She hurriedly persuaded Calvin, hoping that he could calm down."


    Calvin then loosened his grip.


    "Sergio smiled faintly as he slowly stretched out his hand and rubbed the area that was gripped


    by Calvin, saying sarcastically, ""Mr. Harvey, why are you as easily offended as a three-year-old? I told


    you that I''m going to move into Harvey Manor. You agreed to it, did you not? Now that I''m here, not


    only is the head of household not aware of this matter, you still treated me with such an attitude."""


    "Hmph! Calvin snorted coldly. His face was expressionless, and his gaze was sharp."


    "Belle, go to the Fragrance Garden to take care of Jerry. He didn''t even turn around to face her and


    simply ordered her in a very dominating manner."


    "Belle understood his intention. He was trying to get her out of the way. So, she immediately agreed


    and went out obediently."


    "When she walked out of the door, she looked back at Calvin, and the worry in her eyes was obvious."


    "Tell me, what''s the matter? Sergio asked coldly. After Belle left, the atmosphere between those two


    men immensely tensed up again. "


    "Sergio saw that the sharpness in Calvin''s eyes had dissipated slightly, and it was impossible to tell the


    changes in his emotions, but what Calvin said shocked Sergio."


    "Mr. Xanthe, look carefully. We now have sufficient evidence to prove that the matter regarding the


    Harvey Group leaking trade secrets has nothing to do with Belle. Zoe is the one behind everything,


    as she had schemed and framed Belle. I think Mr. Xanthe should have a good look at it now. It''s time to


    put an end to it. After Belle left, Calvin went straight to the point. He ced the evidence on the table


    and looked at Sergio with his sharp eyes."


    Sergio nced at him suspiciously.


    Is this the evidence showing that Belle was framed? he asked in disbelief.


    "You can see it for yourself. Calvin said disdainfully, ""How can my wife be so silly as to do these


    things?"""


    "Sergio came back to his senses after a moment of shock. With a smile on his face, he took the


    wooden box, opened it, and took a look inside."
