Chapter 596 Can''t Give Up On The Inheritance


    It just doesn''t make sense. Sophia must have been too ill to think straight. It shouldn''t count towards


    the will. Paige shook her head in objection.


    "Mr. Pringle said seriously, ""Madam, the revision handwritten by Sophia was consistent and clear. It


    doesn''t seem like she wrote it when her judgement was clouded. With this alone, your statement is


    without any legal basis."""


    Mr. Pringle''s words were like a ball of thorns rolling towards Belle. She suddenly felt pain all over her


    body.


    "Wasn''t it a little unbelievable that Sophia would ask Calvin to take Liya as his second wife, and even


    add this to her will?"


    "Why would Sophia, who had always adored her, treat her this way?"


    Could Belle stay happy in life if Calvin really took Liya as his second wife?


    How could it have ended up like this even after all the effort they poured in to prevent this from


    happening?


    Belle sat there in a daze.


    "This is impossible. Calvin gritted his teeth andnded a fist on the table, where the will was ced.


    His eyes were red as he kept denying the reality."


    This was definitely not Sophia''s idea. Someone must have imitated her handwriting and added it to the


    will. Sophia wouldn''t be this foolish. The Harvey Group no longer had anything to do with Liya. It didn''t


    make sense for Sophia to ask him to take Liya as his second wife.


    "His fist was clenched tightly. He felt awful. At that moment, he was reminded of something and


    immediately rushed over to Belle."


    "Belle was still sitting there in a daze, as if she hadn''t understood what she heard."


    Calvin approached her and pulled her into his embrace.


    "Belle looked up confusedly, staring straight into his tender gaze."


    "They were gazing at each other, expressing all their love through their exchanged gazes."


    Calvin gave her an encouraging smile.


    It took Belle a while to return a smile at him finally.


    "Belle, let me take you back to the room for a rest, Calvin whispered gently to her ears. His hot breath


    stirred up something within her."


    "Calvin would rather have Belle heard nothing at all about the reading earlier. That way, he could have


    felt more at ease."


    Belle nodded obediently and followed him back to their bedroom.


    They sat on the edge of bed in silence.


    It was as if there were pieces of ice crackling in the air before falling apart. They could even hear each


    other''s heartbeats in the air.


    "We shouldn''t havee back today, Calvin said lightly."


    "Indeed, how good it would be if they were still at Grand Hyatt Apartments. They would still be in their


    sweet dreams!"


    "Instead, they came back!"


    "Calvin, why did Sophia make such a will? Belle tugged at the sleeves of Calvin''s shirt and asked


    innocently, ""Could it be that she had always wanted you to marry Liya?"""


    "Calvin turned around and looked at her. He patted her head as he gulped and said, ""Belle, don''t be


    silly. Sophia is smart and wise. Why would she agree to let me marry someone like Liya? This is just


    absurd. I''m sure there''s some misunderstanding in this. Don''t worry. I''ll find a way to investigate this."""


    He pulled her into his embrace and sighed softly.


    "Don''t worry. I would be a fool to marry someone like Liya. Even if Sophia''s will was legitimate, even if


    she really did revise it while fully conscious, don''t you worry about it. I will never agree with it. It''s just


    the right of inheritance anyway. I can live without it. You and our children are enough toplete my


    life. We can start from scratch. Those assets don''t mean a thing to me, Calvin said casually as he


    "Belle looked up at him. His resolute face, bright eyes, and solemnmitment made her feel at


    peace."


    She believed his words. She buried her head against his chest.


    "Later at night, in Harvey Manor, some crickets were forming a choir with the frogs out in the yard. It


    was a rare and precious sight to be this close with nature within an urban city."


    Calvin headed to the reception room in the Ink Garden.


    "Hudson, Evan, Paige, and Martin were all there."


    Their eyes fell on him as soon as Calvin walked in.


    Why are we all here for tonight''s duty? Calvin said in a joking manner as he greeted them one by one.


    "Hudson''s expression was solemn. He said, ""Calvin, we have to discuss the will."""


    "Calvin knew the intention that they were gathered together. He yawned and stretched his arms as he


    said, ""Dad, there''s something wrong with the will. It shouldn''t be considered legitimate at all. We don''t


    have to dwell on it."""


    "Calvin, be serious. We must treat this matter seriously. Hudson was not as optimistic. He said


    carefully, ""How are you certain that the will is not legitimate? Just because it didn''t sound possible?"""


    "The Harvey Group was in one mess after another. It was as if the entire group was covered by a dark


    web, and the dark web was manipted by someone else. They were pulling at the thread, making it


    difficult for the trapped ones to breathe."


    "Dad, isn''t it obvious? Why would Sophia set her will this way? Calvin sneered. ""I will never carry it


    out."""


    "I agree. I don''t think Sophia would make a will like this. Perhaps she wrote it when she was less


    conscious, and it shouldn''t be deemed effective. Moreover, since the assets were allocated across our


    Harvey family, and we are the only heirs, it wouldn''t make any difference if Calvin didn''t want his share,


    as we will reject our shares too. We can never let Calvin marry that kind of woman, Martin said. He


    never liked Liya, and he would never allow Liya''s existence to hurt Belle."


    Evan nodded in agreement.


    "However, Trave put on a grave expression."


    "You are all too na?ve. How can we be so childish when it''s the family inheritance we''re talking about?


    Even if we don''t acknowledge it, what would the outsiders say about this? Especially when there might


    be a bigger conspiracy behind this will? I''m just concerned that this would be an excuse for


    someone else to threaten us. We will be in huge trouble then, Hudson said."


    His thoughts were far moreplicated than them. There was something off in this situation.


    "It was obvious that Sophia would never set a will like this. However, if it wasn''t Sophia''s intention, then


    how could this will exist?"


    "That''s right. If Sophia didn''t write it, who wrote it then? It was clearly her handwriting. Why wouldn''t


    she wait for Mr. Pringle''s arrival before she added the sentence to it? Evan had a lot of questions in


    mind too."


    "If Sophia revised the will because something happened to her, then there must be someone behind


    this, and we shouldn''t take this lightly at all, Hudson said."


    "That''s horrible. How could someone plot against us in this manner? Are they really fTristaness of the


    the new revision to it."


    "Calvin was her son. She knew well that Calvin would never marry Liya. However, if he lost his right of


    inheritance because of this, Paige might as well end her life by then. Calvin was her only son. She


    couldn''t allow him to give up on the inheritance."


    "You don''t have to be so worried about this. No matter if the will was legitimate or not, I will never marry


    Liya. What''s more, I can just give up on the inheritance. It doesn''t matter to me anyway, Calvin said


    casually."


    "He really wasn''t concerned about the inheritance at all. He would never do something he didn''t want


    to. No one could force him, let alone a mere inheritance!"


    "Calvin, it''s not only about the inheritance. Let''s put any conspiracy theory aside. With our current


    situation alone, you have to prioritize the inheritance and never give up on it. You have to own your


    inheritance, and make it clear to the world, Hudson said firmly."


    Calvin shuddered slightly with fear as he stared at Hudson.


    "Calvin, you can''t take this lightly. Hudson stood up and said solemnly, ""It''s a critical moment now. Do


    you know what it means if you gave up on your inheritance?"""


    What is it? Calvin turned a little pale as his voice trembled.


    "It means that you''re not the head of the family anymore, and you are no longer leading the Harvey


    Group. Do you understand the consequences now? Hudson''s question reverberated throughout the


    room."


    Paige lowered her head and sobbed.


    Calvin was shocked and fell back into his seat.


    "Although it was our generation who built up the Harvey Group, we are still bound by Harvey Manor,


    which was the original founder, and it was still due to part of Old Master Harvey'' efforts. If you give up


    on your inheritance, then you will be giving up the Harvey Group at the same time. Hudson continued


    saying, ""If we were safe and sound now, if we were still at our peak, then you could have been as


    noble as you wanted and given up on everything, as you have started a new life with your wife and


    your children. But you know clearly what situation we are in right now, don''t you? The Harvey Group is


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    facing the punishment for breaching the security rule, and is being suppressed by Yadriel. Zoe''s


    plotting in secret as well. None of these problems are easy. We are trapped within them. Can you still


    say you want to give up on the Harvey Group at a time like this? Can you be so irresponsible as to


    throw everything away?"" "


    "He''s right. Calvin, there are hundreds of thousands of employees under the Harvey Group right now.


    They''re waiting for you to lead them to the peak. If you give up on your inheritance, then you''re giving


    up on them too, and putting the Harvey Group in even bigger risk. You shouldn''t be doing this, Paige


    said with a sob."


    Calvin''s mind was in a mess as he stood there in a daze. He wasn''t willing to face these consequences


    at all. He was just an ordinary man seeking to build a family. Was that wrong?


    "Hudson''s expression turned grave increasingly. ""The Harvey family is in a critical period now. We


    should join forces as the present and future generations of the Harvey family to get everyone through


    this crisis. Our family principle teaches us not to bully others, but at the same time, not to allow others


    to walk all over us too. We should adhere to this, and do our best as part of the family. No one should


    be casting away their responsibility. We have to prepare ourselves,"" Hudson said."


    "Evan also stood up and said, ""Hudson, don''t worry. We will protect Harvey Manor with our lives. We


    will protect our family business, and keep it prosperous."""


    Hudson nodded gratefully in return.


    "There''s definitely something wrong with Sophia''s will. How about this? We''ll check the surveince


    camera clips in the security booth tomorrow, to see if there have been any suspicious visitors recently.


    It''s gettingte now, though. So, we should head back to our rooms to rest, Hudson said at the end.


    They agreed and then retreated to their rooms."
