Chapter 583 Something On Your Mind?
"The lush, verdant trees were entwined around the green vines, painting the outer walls of the
Fragrance Garden''s study with a sense of vitality."
Calvin sat in the study. His charming eyes were focused. The Harvey family''s genealogy book was
ced on the table. He carefully searched but could not find Madam Lilian.
Did Sophia know Madam Lilian? Had they known each other for a long time?
"Why was there not a single trace of Madam Lilian''s records in the past fifty years? Moreover, Madam
Lilian''s reputation was well-known throughout the world. Why did Sophia not mention anything about
this?"
"If Madam Lilian hadn''t visited Sophia at Richard Manor, then they wouldn''t know that Sophia was
acquainted with Madam Lilian. Although they were aware that Sophia had always been secretive, such
a thing still made Calvin feel a little confused. He vaguely felt that Madam Lilian seemed to have
secrets he didn''t know."
His cell phone rang at just the right time.
"Mr. Harvey, Yaris'' mother has already received a notice that her condition is critical from the hospital. It
is estimated that Yaris will appear soon. Luca''s subordinate, Fletcher Dutcher, immediately called after
hearing the news."
"Calvin frowned and immediately asked, ""Where is Yaris now?"""
"Fletcher could not figure out Yaris''s movements at this time, but he quickly replied, ""Don''t worry, Mr.
Harvey. We have people following Zoe. As long as Yaris appears in A City or C City, he can''t escape
from us. Today, our people heard in the hospital ward that his father wasforting her mother and
mentioned that Yaris woulde to see her tonight."""
"Alright. A glint shed in Calvin''s eyes. He immediately stood up and smashed his fist on the table.
""Inform everyone to guard the entrance and exit of the hospital tonight. Once he appears, we will
immediately capture him alive. I will inform the police at the most appropriate time."""
"Okay, Mr. Harvey. After Fletcher received the order, he was in high spirits. After so many days of
waiting, he finally got the news. If he could catch Yaris alive that night, then his efforts for so many days
would not be in vain."
"After he put away the phone, he paced back and forth in the room."
"Luca went to Capital City to cooperate with Luqman and control Ezrah. Aron went to the war-torn
country to rescue Otis. So, it seemed that Calvin needed to capture Yaris personally."
"At this time, if he could capture Yaris and expose Zoe''s crimes, the usation against the Harvey
Group could be easily solved. Sergio had to get out of Harvey Manor obediently."
"That woman, Zoe, would also receive the punishment she deserved."
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That way, the Harvey Group would be safe and sound."
"He quickly took out a pocket pistol from the side of the study, thrust it into the pocket of his suit, and
strode out."
"Calvin, where are you going? As soon as he stepped out of the study, he saw Hudson standing in the
corridor in front of him, with a serious look on his face."
"Dad. There was a look of surprise on Calvin''s face. He did not expect to bump into Hudson the
moment he stepped out of the door. Calvin noticed Hudson''s gRhysing hair and felt his heart ache
slightly. There were some things that Calvin did not want Hudson to know, as he didn''t want him to be
worried."
Hudson''s expression was solemn.
His expression was calm and unruffled. He nced indifferently at Calvin''s surprised face and spoke in
a grave tone.
"Calvin,e here."
"After that, he turned and walked forward."
"Calvin was stunned. He didn''t know what was going on. So, he could only follow."
"In Hudson''s study on the third floor, he stood by the window, and his back was a little stiff."
"Under the window, Sergio was walking past old oak trees, one after another, towards the gym. The
look in Hudson''s eyes became gloomier, and his fingers curled up unexpectedly."
"In the end, he sighed softly and turned around."
"Calvin, I have something to give you today. Hudson''s voice sounded a little helpless and aged."
"Calvin''s brows furrowed, and he was obviously curious as he looked at Hudson in confusion."
Hudson turned around and found a bunch of keys from the bookshelf. He carefully searched for them
and then clenched one of them. He looked up at Calvin and walked towards an inconspicuous safe at
the corner of the study.
Calvin''s eyes followed Hudson''s figure as he looked over.
The door of the safe had been opened.
"A very exquisite, rectangr box made of leather was lying inside."
"Hudson carefully took out the box, stood up, and walked towards the desk."
"As he approached, Calvin saw that his hand was trembling, and the curiosity in his heart intensified."
"Dad, what''s this? His dashing eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and his face was full of doubts."
Hudson lowered his head and slowly opened the box.
"Inside the box was a load of velvet padding. A ring about 14 cm in diameter was lying inside. There
was also a screwdriver next to it. What surprised Calvin the most was that there were bullets next to it,
which made his eyes open wide."
What was this? It was definitely not just a ring!
Some pictures quickly shed across his mind.
"Calvin, this is a ring revolver. It was collected by your grandfather back then and was also used on the
battlefield. There aren''t many left in the world now. Hudson picked up the ring, and his voice was very
soft and serious."
"Calvin''s face was full of shock. He had only heard of such ring revolvers, but he had also once seen
one in a museum in France. Therefore, when Hudson opened the box, that image shed in his mind."
This kind of ring could only be found in France and some countries in Europe. Hudson didn''t expect
that Old Master Harvey would have kept one.
"Calvin, tit for tat is fair y. Today, I will give this pistol to you because I hope you will be able to
protect yourself when necessary. Yadriel is not an ordinary politician. If he is able to buy and sell
weapons, it shows that he is a man full of schemes. It is unwise to fight against him head-on. You
should take the initiative. Hudson''s trembling hand put the ring on Calvin''s finger and warned him
earnestly."Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
"Calvin finally understood Hudson''s thoughts. Calvin touched the ring, and his heart was extremely
heavy."
"In any case, justified self-defence is not murder. You must know how to protect yourself, Hudson
added solemnly again."
Calvin nodded in all seriousness.
Belle got up this morning feeling uneasy and upset.
"Sitting in the office, signing the daily list, she couldn''t help but to run to Sophia''s room again and again.
These days, Belle insisted on watching over Sophia everyday, feeding her, and talking to her. Sophia''s
consciousness was still vague, and she rarely woke up anymore."
"After going back and forth a few times, Belle noticed that she hadn''t seen Calvin, and she felt a sense
of loss in her heart. After all, during this period of time, Calvin had always apanied Belle to care
for Sophia. He would even settle thepany''s business at the Ink Garden''s office."
"However, Belle seemed to have not seen him all day, which made her feel troubled and uneasy."
"Rosa was curling up in the padded rattan swing, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen
asleep."
"As the cold breeze blew, it made people feel veryfortable."
"Rosa loved to sit in the rattan swing, and she was often there spacing out."
"She had been curled up in the swing for almost the whole morning. When Belle came out, she was still
in the same posture."
Rosa was lyingfortably.
Belle was so upset that she couldn''t sit still.
"Rosa, don''t you feel tired lying in that posture? Come down and apany me for a walk."
"Rosa opened her eyes and answeredzily, ""Belle, let me be. I''m not in a good mood today."""
Belle took in the haggardness and annoyance in Rosa''s bright eyes that couldn''t be concealed. She
lookedzy but alsocked the liveliness and cuteness that she used to have.
She could not help but to frown. This youngdy must have had something on her mind. She looked so
clueless. It did not seem like Rosa''s character.
"Rosa, what happened? Belle asked with concern. ""Is there something on your mind?"""
Anguid smile appeared at the corner of Rosa''s mouth.
"Belle, I''m fine. I''m sorry, I can''t apany you for a walk. She leaned over and stilly with her eyes
closed, looking listless."
"Belle felt that something was bothering Rosa. So, she patted her a*s and urged, ""Rosa, get up. It''s
not good to lie like this for a long time."""
"Belle, am I still a child? Rosa suddenly stood up, stared at Belle and asked seriously."
Belle was stumped.
"No, Belle, I am not young anymore. I am already 26 years old. At this age, some might consider me a
spinster. The expression on Rosa''s face was very persistent and lonely."
You all say that I''m still a child. Can''t you see that I''m mature? Rosa eximed.
Belle blinked her eyes and suddenly wanted to burst outughing. It seemed that this young woman
had been struck by something peculiar that day.
"She suddenly recalled the breakfast on the day before, when MLexie had mentioned that Madam
Madeline hade to propose a marriage for Carme. Belle gave it a thought and spected that
Rosa was actually bothered by the incident."
"Then, Belle began to look at her carefully."
"Rosa pouted. Although her beautiful eyes were wandering around, theycked life. It was obvious that
Rosa was in a bad mood."
"It was said that when a girl reached puberty, all she could think about was love. Was Rosa such a
girl?"
"Forget it. You don''t know anything about it anyway. Seeing that Belle didn''t respond, Rosay down
again, feeling even more glum."
"Rosa, you''re not a child anymore. However, your current state proves that you''re not mature at all.
Belle nodded andmented."
"When Rosa heard this, she felt even more dejected. ""That was the reason."""
"That''s why my Dad forced me to marry Sergio, right?"
"Upon hearing this, Belle let out a sigh of relief. She finally understood that Rosa was worried about the
rtionship between a man and a woman."
"Rosa, did General Perry force you to marry Sergio again? Belle could not help but to ask with a
frown."
"As expected, Rosa could not hide her feelings any longer. She immediately sprang to her feet and
said, ""It''s not my father who forced me to do it. It''s the annoying Yadriel who went to my house to talk
about the marriage again. On the other hand, my father can''t wait to marry me off. So, he called me
today and asked when I''d be going home."""
That was it!
Belle''s eyes darkened.
"If it weren''t for the fact that Sergio was now living in Harvey Manor, Rosa would have been called back
by General Perry a long time ago."
It was understandable for her to be worried about this.
"Belle, Rosa. Speaking of the devil, Sergio immediately called out as he saw that Belle and Rosa were
sitting near the door and talking. Belle hadn''t even managed tofort Rosa yet."
"Rosa''s face darkened when she heard his voice. She leaned over andy down again, pretending not
to know him."
"Mr. Xanthe, Belle greeted politely."
"Sergio was wearing his sports attire, and it was apparent that he had juste back from his workout.
Sergio had a tall and upright figure, and he looked very athletic and handsome. There was a faint smell
of tobo on his body, and his amber-colored eyes were filled with a hint of a smile."
"Belle suddenly felt regretful. If Sergio''s ambitions were not so wild, and if their family did not value their
political future so much, then it would be great for Rosa to marry him. What a pity!"
"Belle, I happen to have something to discuss with you. What a coincidence for us to meet here. Before
Belle could even process her pity, Sergio took the initiative to speak."
"Belle could only squeeze a smile. ""Mr. Xanthe, I also have something to discuss with you. Since that''s
the case, let''s have a talk in our office."""
"After that, Belle turned around and walked to the office in the Ink Garden."
