Chapter 584 The Xanthe Family''s Bottomline
"Sergio looked back at Rosa, who was lying calmly, and informed her lightly, ""Rosa, wait for me here. I
also have something to ask you."""
"Rosa justy there without any response, blithely ignoring him."
"Sergio couldn''t be bothered much about Rosa''s cold demeanor. He didn''t love her at all, and it
seemed that she felt the same way."
"Hence, Sergio immediately walked towards Belle''s office."
"Belle, congrattions on your second pregnancy. Sergio entered the room and congratted her with
a heart-wrenching expression, his eyes gloomy."
Thank you. Belle admitted generously. Calvin loved her so openly and honorably. It wouldn''t be
surprising for anyone to know about her pregnancy.
"Sergio took a step forward, and his whole body towered over Belle''s delicate body."
"Belle, is there a reason you are looking for me? Sergio was the first to ask."
Sergio felt intoxicated even though he was just hanging out with her like this.
Sergio''s figure carried an overwhelming pressure with it.
"Belle was not used to this feeling. She leaned back against the chair, entwined her fair fingers, and set
them on her knees, trying to maintain herposure. She raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and
spoke directly. "
"Sergio, that''s right. I have something to talk to you about."
"Belle didn''t want to be alone with him in this office. So, she simply continued."
"Rosa is my friend, as well as a friend of the Harvey Group. She is more than a rtive to us. Do you
understand what I''m saying?"
"So, you want to ask on her behalf about the marriage between her and me, yeah? Sergio was a smart
person and immediately understood what Belle meant. An elusive smile appeared on the corners of his
mouth as Sergio asked her indifferently."
It could be said that he was quite casual. Belle could not help but to frown as Sergio didn''t seem
serious about the marriage.
"Sergio, marriage is significant to a woman. Rosa''s straightforward. I don''t want her to get hurt. Belle''s
voice began to be serious."
"The smile on the corners of Sergio''s mouth vanished. ""So, what should I do to keep her happy?"""
"Sergio, you really don''t understand what love is! Belle suddenly stood up, and her petite body, with a
stern momentum, forced the towering man to take a step back."
"After being stunned for a while, Sergio suddenly burst intoughter."
"Belle, what is love? I am confident that no one in the world can have such deep feelings as I have. No
man in the world can be so persistent and determined as I am because I know too much about love. I
am still single today. This is my sorrow. His voice was a little deste, and hisughter was lonely."
"Belle was secretly surprised, but she asked seriously."
"Sergio, do you love her?"
"Sergio smiled faintly and retorted mockingly, ""Belle, wouldn''t you know whether I love her or not?"""
Belle avoided his gaze and continued gravely.
"Sergio, if you don''t love her, then why did you propose a marriage to her family? Is marriage just an
exchange of interests for politicians? Would you sacrifice the happiness of a woman for the sake of
your own interests? If you don''t love her, then you will not be happy after the marriage. If you really
knew love, then you wouldn''t have allowed your father to go to General Perry''s house to propose a
marriage."
"Belle understood the meaning behind Sergio''s words. He did not love Rosa, and the Xanthe family
had sought General Perry to propose marriage because they wanted to further their careers. They did
not value women''s feelings at all. It was because of this that Belle made up her mind that she would
never allow Rosa to sacrifice her own happiness deliberately. She had to be a step ahead of
Rosa, stop this marriage, and ensure Rosa her happy life."
"Belle, you really are a kind woman. You''re really worthy of my deep love. Sergio sighed softly and
shook his head. ""There are some things that you can''t understand. This is life. In real life, not every
couplees together because of love."""
"Really? Belle sneered at once. ""Don''t assume others don''t know about life and act as if only you know
everything. Just based on what you said, you don''t deserve to have Rosa. Let me get this straight. You
can pursue your career in public office, but you are not allowed to drag her with you and ruin her
happiness."""
"When they had proposed a marriage offer to Rosa, everyone could see Yadriel and Sergio''s intentions
clearly. "
Rosa''s happiness should not be sacrificed like this.
It could be imagined what kind of situation it would be if they got married without any feelings and how
cruel it would turn out for Rosa. Belle really couldn''t let it go.
"Belle, you don''t have to concern yourself with my affairs. You can''t understand the pain and difficulty in
my heart. It''s my failure that I can''t get you, but nheless, I have to get married, Sergiomented."
"Since Sergio couldn''t get his love, his marriage to another woman would mean nothing! All his love
was reserved only for Belle. Thus, Sergio didn''t have many requirements for any woman."
"I can only apologize to Rosa, but I can guarantee that I won''t hurt her after our marriage. Looking at
the anger on Belle''s face, Sergio could not bear it. So, he immediately added, ""This is my father''s
order. As his son, I can only obey him. Please forgive me, I have my own difficulties."""
"The Xanthe family needed to be powerful and they needed to expand. He was the heir of the Xanthe
family. So, he had the responsibility toplete this mission."
"Listening to Sergio''s words, Belle suddenly felt a burst of sadness."
"Sergio, I want to tell you that your feelings for me are not love. Maybe you haven''t seen it clearly, but I
know that you are just stubborn and can''t get rid of your fantasies. Love isn''t like this. Belle shook her
head, trying to convince him and hoping that he could take the initiative to cancel the proposal with
Rosa."
"General Perry realized that Rosa was already twenty-six years old. Hence, he couldn''t help but to get
desperate. His feelings were understandable. Moreover, Sergio himself was good-looking and had a
good family background, so he naturally wouldn''t mind."
Yadriel took this opportunity to be General Perry''s inws.
"However, all said and done, this revolved around Rosa''s happiness, and they shouldn''t destroy it."
Belle''s words had thrown Sergio into confusion.
"Sergio didn''t want to stay too long on this issue. So, he changed the topic. ""Belle, I recalled that you
promised me that evening that the Harvey family wouldn''t meddle in the election involving our Xanthe
family. Do you still remember it?"""
Belle was secretly shocked.
Is this what you want to talk to me about today? Belle was dumbfounded when she heard Sergio bring
up the election. She clutched the desk and stood firm and asked with her obsidian eyes.
"Sergio nodded and replied, ""Yes, that''s exactly what I wanted to say."""
Belle took a deep breath and thought about it.
"Sergio, you should know that our Harvey family have never thought of making enemies with anyone.
We have always aligned with Old Master Harvey''s wish, that we, as businessmen, will never interfere

with political affairs. If it were not due to the fact that we had been forced, we would never interfere in
these things."
"Belle could be considered as calm, and her words were watertight."
"Though it was true that the Harvey family had not intended to meddle in this matter from the very
beginning, the behavior of the Xanthe family was indeed disappointing. Belle did not understand why
Sergio would confidently and boldlye here to ask her about such a matter."
"Belle knew that Calvin had gone to Capital City to meet Luqman, as he had told her about it when he
left that night."
"Therefore, she tactfully yed Sergio around."
"Belle, do you mean that it is us, the Xanthe family, who has forced you to be enemies with us?
Or have you already made up your mind to go against us? Sergio was a little annoyed, but he was
really not able to be austere when facing Belle. Although his words were not pleasant to the ears, his
tone was still gentle."
"Mr. Xanthe, the incident of unauthorized disclosure of ssified information has not been settled yet. It
was clear that Zoe was the one who tried to frame ourpany. However, no matter how hard you
try, you are still unable to find out the truth. That was why you moved into Harvey Manor and even
began to investigate our private life. I would like to know if you moved into Harvey Manor just to
investigate the case, or if there are any ulterior motives? Belle did not concede but asked in an
aggressive manner."
"They were targeting the Harvey Group because they wanted to destroy it. However, the people in the
Harvey family were no fools!"
"Belle, forget it. I don''t want to drag this conversation with you anymore. However, I havee today to
remind you that if Calvin wants to be an enemy of our Xanthe family and interfere with our
election, then we will not let him go. Don''t me us for not going easy on him. I think that you should
be very clear about the consequences of this. Mark my words. My father is determined to win this
election. No one can stop him, Sergio answered very seriously and clearly."
"For the sake of this election, they had already done their homework. They had to win! No one was
allowed to foil it! This was their bottomline."
"If Calvin really intended to fight with them, then they would wait and see who would emerge the
winner."
"Belle caught the viciousness in Sergio''s eyes and couldn''t help but to touch her stomach, feeling
waves of fear in her heart."
"She didn''t want to see any idents happen to Calvin. She couldn''t let any trouble befall the Harvey
Group, and she didn''t want to watch Calvin fall into danger either."
"Therefore, she quickly calmed down and replied in aposed manner."
"Sergio, worry not. As long as you can let go of our Harvey family, Calvin will never think of fighting
against Xanthe family. He doesn''t need to do that at all. Don''t think too much about it. The Harvey
family had always been taught topartmentalize both politics and business. We don''t have the time
to care about Xanthe family''s business."
"She spoke very seriously and sincerely, and her face was a little pale."
"When Sergio heard Belle say ''our Harvey family'' and was wholeheartedly concerned for Calvin, his
heart ached."
"That''s for the best. Then, please tell Calvin. Sergio couldn''t stay any longer. He was afraid that if he
stayed any longer, he would hold her in his arms andfort her. He could only say this sulkily, turned
around, and walked out of the office."
