Chapter 608 Meeting With Brooklyn
"Young Master Harvey, what should we do with Ezrah now? ke asked with a whisper."
"Calvin lifted an eyebrow and said lightly, ""If we let him go now, then Yadriel will definitely pull a move
on him after finding out about this. We''ll keep him with us for the time being. We have sent his
confession to the higher-ups, and we''re waiting for them to take action. You can tell him that we''re
doing this to protect him."""
"Sure, Mr. Harvey. ke nodded. He was about to leave when he heard Calvin saying, ""ke, I need
you to follow me for tonight''s schedule. I''m treating Brooklyn to dinner."""
ke was startled for a while before he could understand the situation. He nodded.
Calvin stood up. He was preparing himself to get some rest for his scheduleter that day.
"Calvin wouldn''t beg for Brooklyn''s help if it was only concerning the Harvey Group. However, now that
they were trying to find dirt on Yadriel, Calvin had no choice but to ask for Brooklyn''s help. Calvin was
technically not begging for help, as this was not for himself, but for Luqman''s sake."
Calvin thought haughtily andforted himself.
"After ke left, Calvin climbed into bed and slept soundly."
He only woke up when the sun was about to set.
He freshened up.
Calvin dialed Brooklyn''s number.
"Grandpa Brooklyn, I''m Calvin, he said with a faint smile and a gentle tone."
"Calvin, you little brat, you haven''t called for so long. Brooklyn picked up the phone with a smile and
immediately started to berate him over the phone."
"Calvin chuckled. ""Grandpa Brooklyn, you''re always on my mind. I only didn''t want to disrupt you."""
"Hmph. Kid, you sound too good to be true. I''ll never believe that. Alright, spill it already. Why did you
call? Brooklyn purposely snorted and cut to the chase."
"Calvin knew how stubborn Brooklyn could be. So, he couldn''t try to force a deal out of him. He could
only try to persuade Brooklyn softly."
"Grandpa Brooklyn, I''m now in Capital City, and I''d like to treat you to dinner. Would you like to join me?
Calvin asked respectfully."
"After hearing that, Brooklyn was reminded of theirst dinner together, and he put on an
indistinguishable smile before saying, ""I might not let others treat me to dinner, but boy, you''re an
exception."""
"Well, then. I''ll send someone to pick you up, Calvin replied, smiling."
"You don''t have to bother about that. Just send me the address, and I''ll have my driver send me over,
Brooklyn said. Judging from his loud and clear voice, he was still in great health."
"Sure, I''ll see youter then, Grandpa Brooklyn. Thank you. Calvin hung up the phone with a smile."
"Brooklyn had favored Calvin since he was a child. Calvin knew how stubborn Brooklyn was. He could
be like a child sometimes, where he would be harsh to those he disliked, and spoiled whoever up to his
liking. However, of course, Brooklyn only behaved like that in small matters. If it was anything that
involved his principles, then Brooklyn would not hold back in his criticism."
"Calvin could still remember that he was scolded by Brooklyn in public because of his arrogant
behavior at a party. Many socialites and noble families attended that party. However, Brooklyn did not
hold back at all when reprimanding him. This embarrassed Calvin greatly to the extent that he refused
to call Brooklyn for the next couple of years."
"Now that Calvin thought about it, that happened a year after he married Belle. Calvin was arrogant
and rude back then. He regarded himself as more superior than anyone else. His career was going
strong, although his love life was a mess. It was the time where Belle had left for another country.
Calvin was frustrated, but then he thought of this as an opportunity for him to regain his freedom. He
was self-centered and was full of big talk. "
"Calvin couldn''t recall what he exactly said to have triggered Brooklyn, but he did remember that
Brooklyn gave him a scolding in front of everyone else. It was a terrible experience that would be
forever etched in his mind."
"Calvin had been pampered since he was a child. His high self-esteem was taken down a peg from that
experience. Hence, he held a grudge against Brooklyn over the next couple of years."
"In fact, when Calvin looked back on it now, it was also after Brooklyn''s scolding that he became more
mature. After returning to A City from the party, Calvin would often think back on the scolding,
especially at midnight. The scolding was effective in improving hismunication skills, as well as
building up his career. "
Calvin smiled helplessly as he thought back on past events.
"Calvin was not an exception for having an arrogant and rude history, especially when he grew up in a
privileged environment. "
"Moreover, Calvin did get his lessonter on, where he needed to dedicate even more effort in winning
back Belle."
The streets of Capital City were bustling with the pedestrian crowds as well as traffic. Calvin and ke
took a while before arriving at the Jewelry Hotel. Calvin was already anxious upon their arrival.
Calvin made his reservation at the same private room as before. It was the same location and at the
same time. Calvin''s intention was obvious.
"Calvin ced his orders in advance and changed the air freshener for the room. He also adjusted the
air-conditioner to a suitable temperature. After making his round of preparations, it was about time."
"Calvin, I''m here. Brooklyn''s voice could be heard as soon as Calvin sat down. Calvin immediately
stood up and weed him."
"Grandpa Brooklyn,e, take a seat, Calvin said respectfully as he helped Brooklyn in."
"Brooklyn was already in his nies. He had his staff tagging along, but Brooklyn didn''t look old at all.
He was still in high spirits, and his speech was clear. He was able to recognize Calvin at first
nce and even noticed the small wrinkles on Calvin''s forehead. "
"Brooklyn knew that Calvin had something to ask of him. At his age, Brooklyn would never dine out as
his staff wouldn''t allow it either, but Calvin was an exception."
"Brooklyn knew exactly what Calvin had in mind. If he didn''t agree to join him for dinner, then it would
be near impossible for Calvin to visit him at home as well. Brooklyn was well aware of the Harvey

Group''s crisis, but Calvin had yet to bring it up. Brooklyn was curious as to how he would mention it
"Calvin, I heard that your grandmother is seriously ill. Is that so? Luca asked as he sat down. Calvin
gave him a hot towel and poured him a cup of tea personally. Brooklyn was d to see how obedient
and mature Calvin had be."
"Calvin''s heart ached as Brooklyn mentioned Sophia. A hint of sorrow surged in his heart. He nodded
and said sadly, ""She has been bedridden for months."""
"As he heard that, Brooklyn sighed. ""Your grandmother is a heroine. She has done many kind deeds
throughout her life."""
"Calvin didn''t understand the underlying intention of Brooklyn''s words. So, he nodded along and said,
""Grandpa Brooklyn, she used to talk about you a lot when she was still healthy."""
"Brooklyn put on a self-deprecating smile as he heard this. ""You brat, she was scolding me, wasn''t
she?"""
Calvin was baffled. Why would Sophia badmouth Brooklyn? He stared nkly at Brooklyn.
"Brooklyn smiled and didn''t say anything else. After taking a sip of tea, he asked, ""Tell me, kid. What
made youe to me this time?"""
Calvin smiled awkwardly.
"Grandpa Brooklyn, I''ve always wanted to treat you to a meal. I don''t have any special requests."
Is that so? Brooklyn took a sip of the herbal tea and gave Calvin a sideways nce. "Do you really
think I''d be that clueless at my age?"
"Calvin knew that he could no longer hide his intentions. Moreover, he was aware that it wouldn''t be
advisable to keep Brooklyn outdoors for too long at his age. He paused for a while before saying,
""Grandpa Brooklyn, I do have a request. I hope you can help me with it."""
"Brooklyn looked at him with a smile and said, ""You can always tell me. You''re a man. Stop beating
around the bush. You know that I don''t like that."""
"Calvin smiled. He was about to exin, but then his phone rang. He lowered his head and saw that it
was from Belle."
"I''m sorry, Grandpa Brooklyn, but I''ll have to answer this call first, Calvin informed him politely before
picking up the phone."
"Calvin, where are you now? Are you alright? I miss you, Belle said over the phone. Her tone was filled
with tenderness and care. Calvin felt a surge of warmth spreading through his body as soon as he
heard her voice. He smiled sweetly."
"Belle, I''m fine now. Don''t worry. You have to take good care of yourself. Don''t make me worry. Do you
understand? Calvin said with a soft voice full of tenderness."
"I understand. Calvin, my eyelids have been twitching the whole day. I feel uneasy, and I''m worried
about you. After all, Yadriel is a cunning fox, Belle said with concern."
"Hearing this, Calvin''s heart sank. He tried tofort her by saying, ""Belle, you should stop
overthinking. Have faith in your husband. I can ovee everything. Also, have you already had your
soup today? How much did you eat..."" Calvin started nagging over the phone,pletely ignoring
Brooklyn''s existence."
"He continued to talk with Belle over the phone. It wasn''t until he hung up the phone and turned
around, did he notice Brooklyn eating in silence while fixing his attention on Calvin. It was as if Brooklyn
was eavesdropping on their conversation."
Calvin was stunned. Could it be that Brooklyn actually had a habit of eavesdropping on some sweet
exchanges between married couples?
"Calvin then realized that he had ignored Brooklyn. He cleared his throat and said sheepishly, ""I''m
sorry to keep you waiting, Grandpa Brooklyn. I hope you don''t mind me making that phone call."""
