Chapter 669 No Way To Go


    "It was only fifteen minutes after Belle greeted Jaqueline and her father, and returned to the memorial


    tablet when she heard the loudspeaker of the broadcast room ringing. Maud was conveying Calvin''s


    instructions through the loudspeaker. ""All entrances of the mansion have been closed. No one is


    allowed to leave. Sophia''s memorial service is postponed for a day and all rtives who came may


    matter that needs to be addressed."""


    Belle was a little stunned when she heard this.


    "Calvin had just returned home and was shutting down the mansion, even dying Sophia''s memorial


    service. Wouldn''t this be disrespectful to Sophia?"


    "However, too many things had happened during this time. It seemed that he was going to take action."


    "Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she saw a few security guards walking in, carrying an ice coffin."


    "Martin, what are you doing? Hudson was talking to Nuncio. He heard Maud''s voice from the speakers


    and saw Martin and some staff carrying an ice coffin. He immediately walked up to them and asked."


    "Hudson, this is Calvin''s order. The memorial service is postponed for a day. The weather is too hot. He


    is afraid that Granny''s body will rot. Martin thought that there must have been something else behind


    what Calvin had done. So, he exined it in this way."


    "Hudson''s eyes shed as he nodded. Now that Calvin was the head of the family, his decision was not


    to be questioned even if he was his father. Therefore, he did not say much."


    "Everyone, please move to the conference room in Ink Garden. In the broadcasting room, Maud''s voice


    sounded over and over again."


    "At that moment, be it the guests or masters who remained in Harvey Manor, all of them began to walk


    towards Ink Garden."


    "Belle had originally nned to send a chauffeur to pick up Kate and Bailey, but now, that had to wait.


    She would discuss it with Calvin after the meeting."


    "The conference room was in the hall of the joint vi in Ink Garden, and people who came and went


    would pass through the corridor."


    "Soon, Belle saw Finley leading the police in, and she seemed to understand something."


    "There must have been some progress in Ruth''s murder case. They had found some clues, and then


    they needed to verify the evidence."


    "When she turned, she saw Martin bringing a few men to ce Sophia''s corpse into the coffin."


    "She didn''t dare to leave. ording to tradition, someone had to take care of Sophia''s memorial


    tablet."


    "She would wait until the rest of the guests and servants left to coordinate with the police. Thinking of


    this, she sat down in front of Sophia''s memorial tablet and lit a candle for her."


    "Grandma, please look after our family. I also pRhys that the Ocean Heart doesn''t fall into the wrong


    hands. She ced the candle in front of Sophia''s memorial tablet. She intertwined her fingers together


    as she silently pRhysed in her heart."


    "Now that Calvin had returned, her heart was finally at ease."


    "She slightly closed her eyes and exhaled before slowly opening them. She saw a pair of white


    sneakers stained with dirt. Looking up, she saw a pair of jeans that were covered with dust and dirt.


    The woman had shoulder-length hair and was wearing a wrinkled red T-shirt. Her face was as pale as a


    ghost."


    "Belle gasped, and instantly stood up."


    "Liya, what are you doing here? If it weren''t for the jade she was wearing on her hand, she wouldn''t


    have been able to recognize her. Her face was pale and she was extremely skinny. Her eyes were


    sunken. She was no different from a ghost."


    "Liya stared at Belle, her lips closed, and her pale fingers fell on Sophia''s coffin."


    "Liya, what do you want? Go to the conference room. Everyone is there now, Belle said in a harsh


    tone."


    "However, Liya''s face was expressionless. She didn''t show any reaction. Instead, she walked towards


    the memorial tablet, step by step."


    Belle stepped back and frowned as she watched.


    "Liya, I was kind enough to take you in. Sophia has raised you since you were young. Have you


    repented? Belle''s eyes were cold as she asked."


    Liya''s eyes slowly shifted to the memorial tablet in front of her. She looked at Sophia''s portrait and her


    body froze. A trace of fear appeared in her eyes.


    Belle looked at her coldly.


    "Now that you''re here, you''d better bow three times to Grandma. She stood behind her and said in a


    harsh voice."


    "Liya was in a daze. Surely enough, she knelt down and bowed three times before the memorial


    tablet."


    "Liya, listen carefully. These three bows were something that you owe the Harvey family and Sophia.


    From now on, you are a stranger to the Harvey family. We no longer owe you anything, Belle said


    sternly."


    "Liya lowered her head, and her entire body shrunk into a ball. She knelt down dispiritedly, but her eyes


    were fixated on the ice coffin. She didn''t say a single word."


    "Liya, you had something to do with Ruth''s death, didn''t you? You pushed Madam Paige down too, am


    I right? Why did you do that? How could you do such a vicious thing? The Harvey family helped you so


    much. Why don''t you appreciate us? Belle bit her lip and asked."


    "Liya hugged herself. When she heard the name ''Ruth'', her entire body suddenly began to tremble.


    Terrifying images shed through her mind. She suddenly turned around and stared at Belle. Her eyes


    were filled with an extremely vicious light."


    Belle looked at her. Liya seemed to have lost her mind. A sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.


    "At that moment, Liya looked like she had really gone mad. It was terrifying."


    "Belle, where is the Ocean Heart? Give it to me. Liya suddenly took out a sharp knife, aimed it at Belle,


    and threatened her. ""Hand over the Ocean Heart and get me out of this mansion, and I will let you


    go."""


    She approached her with the knife in her hand.


    "Belle was stunned for a moment, before understanding the situation. This must have been her reason


    foring. After having failed to find it in the mansion, this must be herst attempt to find it."


    This woman was terrible. It was impossible for her to change!


    "Belle, if you give me the treasure, then I will let you live, and I will no longer interfere with the Harvey


    family anymore. However, if you don''t hand it over, then I will kill you and your child. Think about it


    carefully, Liya said in a low voice whileughing insidiously."


    "Upon hearing this, Belle''s heart turned cold."


    "Liya walked closer still. Belle held her belly and retreated a few steps. There was a wall behind her,


    and she had nowhere to hide. Liya''s knife was aimed at her. If she were to flee, then she would most


    likely be hurt before she could do so."


    "Only now did she begin to feel scared. It was obvious that Liya had nned this. At that time,


    everyone had gone to the conference room. Taking advantage of this, she hade to threaten her,


    making these demands."


    She had purposelye for Belle.


    It was the truth.


    "When Letty hade over to get her to escape, her mind had already cleared up. Yet, she had never


    intended to follow Letty. Rather, she had nned to take the treasure for herself. This was why she had


    pretended to be mad in front of Letty."


    It was the perfect timing that Maud had summoned everyone to the conference room just then.


    "There were only two possible hiding spots for a treasure like the Ocean Heart. Sophia could be hiding


    it herself, or she had handed it to one of the family members. The eldest granddaughter-inw, Belle,


    must have been holding on to it. Therefore, the mourning hall would be the best ce to be right now."


    "She stood by the window of the bedroom and watched as groups of people walked from all directions


    towards Ink Garden. She went downstairs too. There were so many people. So, there were not enough


    cars. As such, she lowered her head and hid among the crowd moving towards Ink Garden. Then, she


    took the opportunity to hide in a corner. Her eyes were fixed on Belle, who was standing in front of the


    memorial tablet."


    She didn''t show up until Belle had sent everyone away.


    "At that time, security personnel were in every part of the mansion. She knew that there was no use


    running away, and she had no time tomit a crime. She could only threaten Belle, force her to hand


    over the treasure, and then force her to get her out."


    "Liya, please put down the knife! Let''s talk it over. Belle held her stomach, her heart aching. Only then


    did she regret letting her in. A woman like this had lost her mind. She shouldn''t have treated her like a


    regr person at all. It was toote to have regrets then. Her mind was spinning. She was stalling for


    time, waiting for Calvin toe and save her. Seeing that Liya''s face was filled with viciousness, she


    was worried that she would suddenly do some crazy things. So, she tried to persuade her, ""Liya, if I


    hadn''t called the police for you and asked Maud to send you to the hospital in time, you would''ve been


    dead by now. Don''t you remember? Why are you trying to hurt me now?"""


    "Liya''s eyes turned red. She grinned and said, ""I don''t want your sympathy. Don''t pretend to feel sorry


    for me. I won''t thank you. If you know what''s good for you, then hand over the Ocean Heart now, and


    I''ll let you go. After that, we won''t cross paths anymore. Otherwise, we''ll die together today. I don''t have


    anything to lose."""


    "I''m not you. You''re the precious wife of the Harvey family head, respected by everyone. I bet all that is


    waiting for you in the future is happiness."


    "As Liya said this, the jealousy in her heart intensified, making her act irrational."


    "You want the treasure, but isn''t that a simple thing? Put the knife down. I know where the treasure is. I


    will take you to retrieve it, okay? Belle didn''t fear for her life, but for the child in her stomach. Now that

    Calvin was back, she believed that he would soone here to search for Liya. She had to fight for


    more time. Therefore, she tried her best to buy time. She kept whispering in her heart, ""Calvin,


    hurry."""


    "I''m telling you, stop ying tricks on me. If you lie to me, then I''ll have you killed immediately. You


    know how Ruth died. If you''re not afraid, then you can die with her. Liya looked at her with a death


    stare as she threatened her."
