Chapter 573 Suspicious Will


    In the Ink Garden.


    Sophia hadn''t eaten for nTristany a week. She was relying on the IV drip to sustain her life.


    "When Calvin walked in, Sophia was in a deep sleep."


    She spent most of her time sleeping those days. She was only half awake in a daze when she woke up


    and couldn''t recognise anyone anymore.


    Her life wasing to an end. She didn''t have much time left.


    "Besides Ruth, several servants also stayed in the room by her side all the time."


    Calvin entered and looked at his grandmother. His heart was heavy.


    "Mr. Harvey, I have something to discuss with you. Ruth followed as Calvin entered the chamber."


    "Ruth, just shoot it! Calvin raised his head slightly and urged gently."


    "He had always treated Sophia''s aide, Ruth, with respect."


    "Mr. Harvey, there''s a matter that might sound rather strange. Ruth stepped forward and whispered,


    ""Some time ago, when Old Madam was not herself and mostly in a daze, I saw her holding a ck


    case in her hand. I didn''t know where she got it from but she held it tightly. I wasn''t sure what was


    inside and I didn''t dare to take it from her. At midnight on that day, Old Madam suddenly became


    sober and she ordered me to call Mr. Bet over. I agreed to her request but it was midnight. So, I


    called him Tristany in the morning the next day. Mr. Bet wasn''t in the country and would only return


    a weekter."""


    Ruth paused and looked at Calvin''s expression.


    "Calvin was only listening casually at first. As Ruth borated, his expression turned solemn."


    "Grandmother was looking for Mr. Bet? He raised his head and asked, looking concerned."


    "Mr. Bet was the Harvey Group''s seniorwyer. In other words, he was Old Master Harvey''s


    exclusivewyer. It was said that Old Master Harvey had already written the will before his death and


    handed it to Mr. Bet for safekeeping. Why did Grandma want to meet him? The only possibility was


    to talk about the will. Calvin''s face turned solemn as he thought about it."


    "Yes, Mr. Harvey. Mr. Bet has retired and his son is living abroad. He was abroad visiting his son


    when Old Madam looked for him. He asked for the reason of her summoning him but I didn''t have an


    answer. When he heard about Old Madam''s condition, he immediately told me that he woulde


    back soon. Ruth continued to exin."


    "Calvin was deep in thought. It would make sense for her to find Mr. Bet if she realized that she did


    not have much time left to live. However, most of the will had been arranged by Old Master Harvey


    before he passed away. Some of the assets belonged to Sophia and there were changes to asset


    allocation that happenedter after his passing. Hence, Sophia actually did have the right to write


    another will."


    Did Sophia look for Mr. Bet to change her will?


    "Calvin was not worried about the will. After all, Old Master Harvey was always absolutely fair and


    impartial. He was indifferent to how the assets were divided as they were family. Calvin didn''t care how


    much he would get from the will. He believed he was capable of earning his own wealth."


    "Ruth, thank you for letting me know. May I know where Grandma''s ck case is now? Calvin asked


    while thinking."


    "Mr. Harvey, the ck case has disappeared. I figured that Old Madam returned it to its original ce


    when she was awake. She has been bedridden and unable to walk around. My guess was she ced


    the ck case somewhere around her bed. Ruth thought for a moment and spected."


    Calvin nodded. His thoughts were a little murky.


    "If it was really rted to the will, was it the one she made herself, or the one that Old Master Harvey


    had given to her?"


    Calvin couldn''t figure it out and didn''t dare to guess. It seemed that only Mr. Bet knew about this.


    "Nheless, he also knew that the will was important to every descendant of the Harvey Group. Many


    people were eyeing the will, especially Sophia''s two daughters. They couldn''t make a name for


    themselves yet still wanted a part of the inheritance."


    His handsome face looked bleak and he remained silent.


    Ruth left after telling Calvin what she wanted to say.


    "Calvin didn''t know what to do. Sophia was now in a critical condition, and it was indeed time to


    announce her will. Usually, awyer had to be present to announce the will. That might be the reason


    she called for Mr. Bet."


    The zing sun scorched the ground.


    The ck Jaguar rumbled on the main road.


    Sergio''s mood was terrible.


    The blue sea was vast with its waves surging.


    "The crowd nearby wasughing and ying on the beach. The surfers rode the waves, which was a


    spectacr sight to see."


    Sergio stopped and walked out of the car.


    "The slightly cool seawater seeped in, soaking the soles of his feet. Although it was a hot summer, he


    felt a sudden chill from the bottom of his feet."


    He stood still in a slight daze.


    "The beach that he was at, including several other nearby inds had been procured by Calvin and


    developed into amusement parks. A few years ago, Sergio also took an interest in the beach but as a


    soldier, he was not allowed to run a business."


    "He initially wanted to stop Calvin from purchasing thend with the excuse of iming that thend


    would be procured for military use. However, Calvin was aggressive and purchased the ind at a low


    price without the public noticing. "


    Sergio still could not figure out how he bought this ind.


    "The ce had the vibe of Hawaii, yet still carried A City''s unique charm. It had been sessfully


    transformed into a famous beach paradise in the city. The ind attracted many local tourists as well


    as visitors from abroad. The revenue racked up each year from the beach was extremely impressive."


    Sergio realized his efforts to defeat Calvin were in vain.


    It was impossible to defeat him.


    "He initially wanted to kill him with the reason of disclosing ssified information without authorization.


    However, his mission was aborted because he received a call from his superiors, with instructions to


    stop the mission and protect private enterprises, as there was something suspicious about the Harvey


    Group incident."


    "He felt restricted, as though he was being tied up, even though it was just a simple instruction."


    "Sh*t! He kicked the sand beneath his feet and cursed rudely. He felt a sharp, clenching sensation in


    his heart."


    "Belle, the woman he loved, was pregnant with Calvin''s child again. No matter how hard he tried, he


    just couldn''t win her over. He tightened his fists and his eyes were full of anger."


    The image of Calvin hugging Belle and their blissful expressions shed across his mind. He gritted his


    teeth.


    "Sergio. A woman''s voice came from behind. The voice sounded eerie and cold, like it came from h*ll,

    even though it was a hot summer day, with huge crowd of tourists around."


    What are you doing here? Sergio asked impatiently without turning his head.


    "Sergio, I wasn''t expecting the two of us, unlucky souls, to meet again. This is indeed fate. The


    woman''s voice was lovely and charming without a trace of sadness or disappointment. Instead, there


    was a hint of pride in her voice."


    "Sergio''s high-arched eyebrows furrowed. He raised his eyes, which were filled with anger and


    disgust."


    "Shouldn''t this woman be upset and feel miserable after being driven out of A City? From the looks of it,


    she seemed to be very proud!"


    "Shut up, stupid woman. You kept saying that you wanted to defeat Calvin. Look at where you are


    now? Weren''t you kicked out of A City, just like a stRhys? How did it feel? Are you still dreaming of


    bing Mrs. Harvey after seeing the great empire he built? Sergio''s face was full of derision as he


    shouted in a deep voice."


    "His words pierced hard into Zoe''s heart and her expression changed. However, she collected


    herself a few momentster and she startedughing loudly. ""Sergio, being upset is all that is for


    me. You, on the other hand, have more to worry about than your feelings. I''m afraid that he has certain


    evidence against you and you know very well of the consequences if this continues."""


    Zoe''s words had other intentions.


    Sergio''s mind went numb.


    What the h*ll do you know? This was the second time Sergio had heard her say that. He stretched out


    his hand and held her chin roughly. He then pulled her face close forcefully.


    "Oh, Sergio, please be more gentle! Zoe raised her eyebrows and smiled. She reached out to


    remove his grip but Sergio was holding her so forcefully that she felt as if he was mping her chin.


    The pain could be felt on her chin where he gripped. She said, ""You didn''t have to get so angry just


    because you couldn''t get Belle. I''m a beautiful woman too. Why can''t you just be a little gentler?"""


    Sergio lowered his head and stared at her face. "Do you know that a know-it-all woman is not only


    annoying but also an extremely dangerous trait?"


    "Zoe''s felt pain emitting from her chin. She was in a terrible mood, and her face was full of contempt.


    ""You are just a useless bastard hiding in the corner feeling sad for yourself. I have already given you


    such a good opportunity to get closer to Belle. You were the one who didn''t manage to win her heart.


    You can''t me anyone as you are ipetent!"""


    "Zoe, shut up, Sergio warned in a low voice, and the rage in his eyes was filled with murderous


    intent. ""I''m telling you, your ns are over. You are never going to take down Calvin. Look at this


    ce. His influences are everywhere in this country. He is as strong as a mountain, standing tall and


    upright. No one can touch him."""


    The disgraced woman in front of him was foolish and arrogant. She couldn''t be saved from her self-


    righteousness and stupidity.


    Such an ordinary woman like her actually had the courage to covet Calvin. Sergio couldn''t make sense


    of her.


    Zoe flew into a rage because Sergio read her mind.


    She recalled the scene from her childhood.


    She remembered Brooklyn hosting a party in Capital City and gathered all his friends and their family


    members.


    "At that time, Mars and Hudson were bothmercial giants in A City. Old Master Yates died on the


    battlefield. Hence, the Yates family and the Harvey Family were invited."


    "Ethan was just an insignificant officer in a government department. After Old Master Morris passed


    away, the Morris family was slowly forgotten. "


    "However, Brooklyn liked Belle. Zoe was jealous and hated the fact that Brooklyn favored her. Belle


    wasn''t qualified to attend the party but Brooklyn invited her to attend it anyway."
