Chapter 720 Way Too Mind-Blowing
"Yes indeed, Mr. Harvey. Madam Lilian has a lot of qualms now. I think what tops the list is Kate''s
health and the fear of aggravating her condition. ke analyzed the situation pertinently."
"Calvin''s gaze turned deep and dark, and there was a faint exhration in his heart. It turned out that
Madam Lilian had helped him several times because of Belle''s background. When he thought about it,
ke said clearly from the opposite side, ""Mr. Harvey, not only does Kate have this background but

there is also another unexpected background. I am afraid that only Sophia knew about this matter. After
all, Kate had been secretly raised by her since she was eleven years old."""
"When Calvin heard this, he raised his head. His eyes were wide open in shock."
"ke, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that Kate has another identity? he asked, and his face
was cloaked with confusion."
"Mr. Harvey, I''m afraid it''s true. ke nodded and continued to say with certainty, ""Kate Bet is also
Brooklyn Cole''s very own granddaughter."""
"Brooklyn Cole''s granddaughter? Calvin was astounded. He had already expected Kate to be Madam
Lilian''s daughter, but not the fact that Kate was also Brooklyn''s granddaughter. This was too much for
Calvin to take in. He didn''t even dare to imagine it."
"s, I''m afraid that only your grandmother, Sophia, had any clue to all of this. ke also sighed and
ryed to him all the information he had investigated. Calvin was a little absent-minded after hearing
this."
"Although there were already too many incidents in life, this particr one was really hard for Calvin to
digest. It was too uncanny, even more legendary than a movie plot."
"Brooklyn knows that Kate is his granddaughter, but he''s ignored her for so many years. Moreover,
Kate was brought up by my grandmother. Besides, Ethan had been framed and Kate was severely
injured in a car ident. At that time, she was alone, and there were hardly any rtives around to
take care of her. She obviously had such a powerful family background. Isn''t this way too cruel to her?
Calvin was reeling in shock as he thought of the past, and resentment filled his heart."
ke furrowed his brows and nodded.
"Therefore, there must be a lot of enmity between Madam Lilian and Brooklyn. I''m afraid that this
unpleasantness will be difficult to clear up. Now, it will be tough for Kate to ept Madam Lilian as her
mother. You asked me to investigate all of this, where everything is undoubtedly correct, but I can''t
predict what may y out in the near future."
"At that point, an inconspicuous smile emerged from ke''s lips. It was a family matter. Naturally, it
was better for the parties involved to work it out by themselves. Outsiders should not get entangled in
this. So, he continued quietly."
"However, I think that your position is very special. You could make use of it to temper these incidents,
but this is just my two cents. You have the final say."
"After saying these words, ke took his leave."
Calvin sat on the couch and lost his mind for a while. He then stood up and walked to his desk to make
a call.
"Maud, is Madam Lilian gone?"
"On the other side, Maud immediately replied, ""Mr. Harvey, Mr. Hudson and Madam Paige had sent
Madam Lilian off Tristany in the morning."""
"What about Belle? Without hearing Belle''s name, Calvin''s heart stirred. He could not help but to ask."
"Mr. Harvey, I haven''t seen her today. Perhaps, she''s too tired these days and is probably resting,
Maud could only answer in this way."
"When Calvin heard that, he put down the phone and tapped his fingers lightly on the phone''s
receiver."
"Madam Lilian had such a close rtionship with Belle. Well, they were immediate rtives after all.
When Madam Lilian left, would Belle not be there? It was absurd. So, was Belle in the hospital or at
home?"
"He looked at the files on his desk. That day, he came to thepany Tristany and had finished a lot of
things. He even brought Aron here in order to restore his identity as the vice president so that he could
help to manage thepany. He immediately called Aron over and entrusted him with some tasks.
Then, he left the office."
He drove straight back to Harvey Manor.
"Subconsciously, Belle had been sitting on the stone on Central Ind for more than two hours. She
did not stand up until her legs were numb."
"After the welter of messy thoughts in her mind had settled down, she finally regained her peace."
She walked slowly towards the exit.
"Just as she reached the exit, Calvin, who had hurried there, came into view."
"His handsome face was flushed, and there were drops of sweat at the corner of his forehead. His
breathing was very rapid, indicating that he had jogged here. Anxiety was lining all of his features."
"Belle, why are you here? Why didn''t you bring your phone with you? It took me a while to find you.
Calvin approached her. His tone was warm and soft, but there was a hint of reproach in it."
Belle looked up and saw that Calvin was already standing in front of her.
"Calvin, didn''t you go to thepany? Why did youe back? Her eyes were blurry, and there was
confusion in them."
"Belle. Calvin grabbed her hand and looked at her carefully. ""I''m worried about you, that''s why I came
back to take a look."""
"His worry was not illogical. At that point, Belle''s face was a little pale and her expression was very dull,
as though she was not her usual self at all."
Did she already know?
"Calvin, I''m fine. Just go back to work. Belle shook her head and denied softly while walking forward."
"Belle, tell me, do you have something on your mind? Calvin followed closely behind her as he asked
out of concern and consideration."
"Belle shook her head and suddenly remembered something. ""Calvin, go back to thepany and
attend to your tasks. In the evening, we will go to Ocean Park to spend some time with Jerry."""
The Ocean Park? Calvin was taken aback. "Has Jerry gone out?"
"That''s right. He has been cooped up for some time now. It''s time for him to go out and y. After all,
he''s just a kid, Belle exined as she nodded her head."
"A faint sense of unease rose within Calvin. However, Belle''s words were fair. He thought for a moment
and only nodded his head in agreement."
"Belle, Mom is ill. Let me apany you to the hospital to see her. He took her hand and asked
cautiously."
"No, thank you, Calvin. I want to get some rest today and not go there for the time being. Belle shook
her head and swatted his hand away. She frowned and rejected him in a dim voice."
"She knew that Madam Lilian was then taking care of Kate in the hospital. Madam Lilian, as a mother,
would not be any worse in taking care of Kate than her, the daughter. She could rest assured about
this."
"Nevertheless, she hadn''t figured out how to face Madam Lilian, her grandmother."
All of this happened too abruptly!
"Therefore, she didn''t want to see Madam Lilian for the time being."
Belle was in a dilemma.
"It was not a matter of whether she would ept it or not. She had always had a good impression of
Madam Lilian. Moreover, Madam Lilian had a very high reputation. It was an extremely glorious thing to
have her as her grandmother. However, that was just how people were. They would feel uneasy and
even ufortable when their lives were suddenly disrupted."
"Especially for Kate, the consequence of this fact revealed to her was a huge psychological pressure,
which mightpletely upend her current life."
Kate was not a person who fawned over power and nobility. She would not immediately ept Madam
Lilian just because of her noble status.
"Most of the time, she had her own persistence and principles. In her vocabry, the word ''mother'' was
too strange and distant. Over the years, she had suffered and shed too many tears, and was left with
only her broken body. If she wanted to ept Madam Lilian naturally, then it might prove to be a feat. "
"What was more, she was severely ill!"
"If one looked at it clearly after taking a step back, if one''s feelings could be epted so casually, then
everyone in the world could abandon their spouses and children, ignore their families, and pursue their
own ideals. Since they did not have to worry about their own family affection whatsoever, they only
needed to amass money and power."
Reality couldn''t be more of a far cry than this.
"Calvin observed Belle properly and was contemting it. From her behavior, was she already aware
of her background?"
She was extremely smart and bright. She must have had a sense that something was off.
She would probably be very anguished if she found out about this.
"Should he inform her of the details he had investigated? If he wanted to, then how should he start?"
Calvin wrapped his arm around Belle''s waist and pulled her into his embrace. He did not know what to
say for a moment.
