Chapter 554 I''m Not Afraid Of Anything
"Calvin''s muscles tensed up, and he instinctively pulled Belle into his arms."
What was going on?
"With a scream on the stage, a muffled voice sounded as if something had fallen heavily to the
ground."
The air was dead silent for a second. It was as if a pot had exploded.
"Oh, God. Someone''s been murdered."
Let''s run. There''s a gangster.
Blood!
......
"All of a sudden, all sorts of horrible screams echoed throughout the ce, and the scene soon turned
chaotic."
Aron. Calvin was the first to react as he roared anxiously.
Aron quickly jumped onto the stage.
"Mr. Harvey, someone assassinated Reid, Aron informed Calvin quickly."
"Hudson also seemed to be stunned by the gunshot. He, who had experienced many significant
events, quickly reacted and immediately ordered Lomen, who was standing next to him. ""Lomen, go

and catch the murderer. We can''t let him escape."""
"Lomen had long reacted. Without waiting for Hudson to finish speaking, he sprung off the stage and
ran towards the direction of where the bullet came from."
Hudson picked up the microphone.
"Everyone, don''t panic. A gangster has snuck into the wedding. Don''t worry. There are policemen in
Harvey Manor. Nothing bad will happen. Please calm down."
"Uncle Reid, Uncle Reid. Liya''s heart was torn apart. After the crowd fell silent for a short period of
time, her piercing voice reverberated throughout the entire ce."
"Belle was in Calvin''s arms from beginning to end. She did not see the bullet tearing through Reid''s
body, but when she heard Liya''s sorrowful scream, she was shocked and immediately realized what
had happened. She then shivered and covered her stomach with her hands involuntarily."
"Aron, escort Madam Paige, Madam Belle, and the guests to the Ink Garden immediately. By that time,
Calvin had already understood what had happened. He then immediately ordered Aron with a calm
expression. ncing at Belle, he walked towards Reid."
"Paige''s face had already turned pale, and her lips were trembling. She had even forgotten to shout."
She would never have imagined that such a bloody scene would happen in Harvey Manor.
"Madam, hurry up and bring Madam Paige and the guests away from this ce. Out of nowhere, ke
had already arrived at Belle''s side. While Aron was supporting the trembling Paige, he calmly reminded
her."
"When Belle heard ke''s voice, she realized that the big event she had imagined was here."
"After that, a strong smell of blood drifted into her nose, and she looked around."
"On one side of the magnificent stage, Reid was covering his left chest with one hand, and scarlet
blood was constantly seeping out from his fingertips. More and more blood flowed out. He then bent
down and fell on the stage with his body curled up. His face was terribly pale, and his eyes were full of
despair and anger."
"Everyone, don''t worry. Quickly, go to the Ink Garden with the electric vehicles. Belle''s mind quickly
calmed down. She rushed down the stage and saw several electric vehicles parked at the exit of
Central Ind. They were the electric vehicles Calvin had prepared to evacuate guests."
"After a burst of panic, when they heard Belle''s calm voice as she walked towards them in a
to get onto the electric vehicles."
Don''t worry. Nothing will happen. We are now in the midst of catching the murderer. Sheforted the
guests with Aron standing closely by her side while ke''s eagle-like eyes swept across the
surroundings to pay attention to unexpected events that might ur.
"After a while, the guests evacuated one after another."
"Madam, please go to the Ink Garden as well in case of any emergency. After Belle evacuated the
guests, she did not rush back to the Ink Garden. Instead, she walked towards the stage, which made
Aron anxious, and he hurriedly tried to persuade her. It was time for Belle to leave that dangerous ce
ording to the n."
"Rx, I have ke protecting me. It will be fine. Belle merely smiled faintly and continued to walk
towards the middle of the stage."
She was the host of the wedding. How could she not be present?
"Mr. Harvey, bad news. Evan was held hostage by Reid''s men, heading here, Luca shouted anxiously
at Calvin on the other side of the phone."
"ording to the n, when Evan was escorted into Harvey Group Manor, he would lead the men he
had prepared in advance to surround them before the police took action. He wanted to catch the turtle
in the urn before the wedding was held and save Evan quickly. Then, he could then announce to the
public that the wedding was invalid. However, everything was disrupted by a gunshot."
Luca was surprised.
This gunshot was not something they had ounted for. Calvin gave them the order to try their best to
capture Reid''s men alive and rescue Evan.
"At that time, Reid was still attending the wedding. It was really not right for such a gunshot to ring out
at that moment."
What the h*ll went wrong?
"There was no time to think about it carefully. Reid''s subordinates soon learnt that Reid had been shot.
They then turned hostile in an instant and didn''t want to hand Evan over anymore. Right then, they
were all nervous as they realized that something big was about to happen. In order to protect
themselves, they hurriedly pushed Evan in front of them and pointed a gun towards his head."
"Don''t move. If anyone dares to move, then I''ll kill him immediately, One of Reid''s subordinates roared
fiercely."
Luca was at a loss at what to do.
"Don''t panic. Go and nk them immediately. Calvin''s face was gloomy. After ncing at the scene, his
deep and stern eyes fell on Reid, and he immediately ordered Luca."
"Warm, red liquid was constantly gushing out of Reid''s chest, and the blood quickly dyed the carpet
next to him red."
The whole atmosphere was gloomy and horrible to the extreme.
Call the family doctor over at once. Calvin approached Reid and ordered Maud loudly.
"Uncle Reid, Uncle Reid. Liya quickly pounced onto Reid''s body and cried miserably. That heart-
wrenching pain made her feel like dying. Reid was the person who treated her the best in her life. How
could he be shot?"
"Liya, don''t cry. I''m about to leave. In the future, you have to learn to protect yourself. Knowing that his
life was about toe to an end, Reid tried to give Liya hisst piece of advice while trembling."
"No. Uncle Reid, I want you to protect me for the rest of my life, Liya cried in agony as her entire body
was on the verge of copse."
Calvin stood with a dark expression as he fixed his gaze on Reid. His mind was spinning rapidly. Just
what was going on?
Who was the one who fired the gun?
"He had been waiting for Luca to rescue Evan and capture Reid''s men alive. Then, he could start to
take action. In order to buy some time, he and Hudson both prepared gifts for Liya, so that they could
dy the wedding procedures. Halfway through the wedding, he finally saw the signal and learnt that
Reid''s men had already brought Evan to the designated location."
"However, something unexpected happened at that moment!"
"Calvin, you''ve betRhysed your promise and turned against me. Reid pointed at Calvin with rage
building in his eyes."
"Calvin took a step forward and bent down. He lowered his head and said sincerely, ""Reid, I didn''t lie
to you. My men aren''t the ones who shot you. I''ve already given the order to go after that person. Right
now, the police have already surrounded Harvey Manor. You must believe that we''re all trying our best
to find the murderer. We only wanted to catch you alive and had no intention of killing you."""
"Reid''s face was distorted. Blood spewed out of his mouth, dying his teeth red. His mouth was then
dyed in a bloody red, making him look horrifying."
"Calvin, if it wasn''t for my niece, and if it wasn''t for her happiness'' sake, then I would''ve killed Evan a
long time ago. Today, I took the initiative to send him to Harvey Manor and fell into your trap. I admit my
defeat, but let me tell you, if you don''t treat Liya well in the future, then I won''t let you off even if I''m in
theherworld, he said, word for word, gritting his teeth. "
"His words sounded tragic, and it reeked of blood, soaking into Calvin''s heart, bit by bit, as well as
Belle''s, who was slowly approaching them."
Belle''s vision began to darken.
What kind of debt was that? Was it a romantic debt or in revenge? Why did it fall onto Calvin''s
head?
"Reid, Reid. A rough and angry voice came straight from below the stage. Belle slowly turned around
upon hearing that, and she saw a few vicious men holding onto Evan anding up the stage."
"Reid, they failed to keep their promise and killed you. We''re going to avenge you. The eyes of the man
at the front were bloodshot, and he had already lost his mind."
Don''t be in such a hurry. We didn''t shoot Reid. Let''s have a proper discussion and save Reid''s life first.
Hudson clenched the rosary beads in his hand as he felt extremely pained by that bloody scene.
"Bah, who are you fooling? Who will believe you? The eyes of the man in the lead were red as he
angrily rebuked, ""Right now, we are surrounded by police, and you still say that you hadn''t nned
this. It''s obvious that you guys are behind this. We fell into your hands as soon as we entered Harvey
Manor. How dare youmit such a hateful act like going back on your word?"""
Each of them raised the guns in their hands.
"Today, either you let us go, or we''ll die together. The leading man pushed Evan closer to Reid step by
step."
"Reid. When they saw that Reid was lying on the ground and dying, they growled angrily."
Everyone was forced to take a few steps back due to their guns.
"The ck muzzle was aimed at everyone present, and the situation had be extremely
dangerous."
"You have all been surrounded. Put down your guns quickly, so that you guys can have more lenient
punishments. Albie Williamson, who was outside, was even more anxious. Initially, after rescuing Evan,
he had nned to capture all of them alive, but the current situation had changed for the worse."
"Right then, they were holding Evan hostage. It was very likely that they would hurt everyone on the
stage. After all, they all had real guns in their hands."
Who in the world was the d*mned guy who fired the shot?
Albie Williamson cursed.
"If he didn''t handle the matter properly that day, blood would spill onto the grounds of Harvey Manor."
"There were a lot of lives. If he didn''t handle the case well, then he would bring shame to Mr. Matthews''
name, and it was very likely that he would lose his career."
Why are you still here? When Calvin turned his head and saw that Belle was still behind him. His
expression immediately changed drastically.
"Belle''s face was pale, and her expression was slightly nk, but her face remained calm."
There wasn''t a single woman on the scene other than her and Liya.
ke and Aron had always been by her side.
"She knew that ke was protecting her, but she didn''t know that even Aron had received Calvin''s
order to protect her."
"During the whole process, she got to understand Calvin''s scheme."
"Surely enough, Calvin really used that wedding as a trap to save Evan."
He didn''t really want to marry Liya. That was a fact.
"Calvin, it''s fine. I''m not afraid. She forced a smile at Calvin."
Have you gone mad? Calvin frantically pulled Belle to the side when he saw her. "Do you really not
know what danger is? How can you stay in such a ce at a time like this? How do you want me to be
at ease and fight with them? Why do you constantly make me worry?"
"Calvin gnashed his teeth, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged as he said that. He really wanted
to give her a good beating on the spot."
How could that d*mned woman be so calm when facing such a terrible and bloody scene? Was she not
afraid of death?
"Nevertheless, Belle smiled fTristanessly and said half-jokingly, ""Calvin, since I had to host this
wedding personally, it''s my obligation to stay here from the start to the end. I''m not afraid of anything.
I''m just afraid that you will change your mind."""
