Chapter 741 Proud Of Jerry
This was the end! Jerry could feel that Calvin was being serious that time around. It was very likely that
his father was going to punish him. Tears started to well up in his eyes as he spoke.
"Dad, you didn''t even have the ability to protect Mom. Why can''t you let me protect her?"
Calvin was immediately stunned when he heard Jerry''s words. He unknowingly rxed his hold on his
son''s hand.
Jerry, aware that he was right, smiled. His heart was bursting with pride.
He knew that whenever Calvin wanted to give him the stick, all he had to do was to mention Belle''s
name and his expression would change, being exceptionally benevolent to him. It was no exception
that time.
However, by then, it was aplete turnaround.
Calvin had only paused for a moment beforeing back to his senses. He admonished him. "Jerry
boy, if I don''t punish you now, then you are bound to get into trouble sooner orter. I would have let
yourte mother down."
As he spoke, he grabbed him by the arms and walked towards the living room.
Jerry was frightened. His eyes widened and he felt his head spinning. However, he came out of his
daze quickly.
As soon as Calvin threw Jerry onto the couch, he took advantage of the situation and rolled onto the
carpet. While rolling, he cried, "O Merciful Lord, please have pity on me. A boy without a mother I am,
and my father still wants to torture me."
He cried out pitifully.
Just as Calvin was about to punish Jerry, his heart was softened by the sound of his sobs. He froze in
his spot, unable to say anything.
This child already led such a hard life. Belle had suffered a lot outside when she was pregnant with
him. It hadn''t been easy for them to reunite, yet Belle had left them. Not only that, that had been his
second time being harmed by those bad people.
After all, he was just a child.
The reason he ended up like this was that his beloved mother had died in front of a bad person. This
was a great psychological blow to Jerry. Even an adult like Calvin wasn''t able toe to terms with it,
let alone a child like Jerry.
As soon as he thought about it, he gave up on the idea of punishing Jerry. A wave of guilt and pain
billowed in his chest.
Jerry was right. He was incapable!
He did not have the ability to protect his wife and son, so what right did he have to punish Jerry?
Hence, this had been his motivation to fortify the Harvey Group into an empire. He would never allow
any Trojan horse to seed again. Just as he finally had everything under his control, his other half
was no longer here.
Now that Jerry was kicking up a fuss, he was at his mercy!
He might have a sessful career, but in the face of his son, he waspletely hopeless.
He closed his eyes and dropped down onto the couch, with tears in his eyes.
He had no idea how he had managed to get through the past year. He wasn''t able to rx at all. He
could only bury himself with work to make up for his guilt and heartache. He did not want to think about

these painful pasts. However, in the dead of the night, even though he was sleep deprived, he still
would not be able to fall asleep. He would stay up and think about all the past memories involving
Belle.
He knew that he owed her big time and that he would never be able to pay it back for the rest of his life.
While on the verge of death, Belle had done everything she could to throw Jerry to safety, sacrificing
her own life in the process. Furthermore, she had also been pregnant at the time. This maternal love
would often put him to shame, and an unbearable pain would shoot through his entire body.
As her husband, he could not do anything about it. He could only watch her as she fell off the cliff into
the river. During the past year, whenever he dreamed about her, he would be jolted awake from the
heartache.
"Do you want Jerry to lose both his mother and father?" Kimmel had grabbed hold of his hand and
roared at him at the edge of the cliff that day. At that moment, his heart had been torn into half.
That day, he had wanted nothing more than to jump into the river to save Belle. He had known that if he
failed, he would perish together with her. That was the only thing that was running through his mind that
day.
The river under the cliff was deep and the current was strong. He had known that even if he jumped
down, he would not be able to save her. He would only die in vain.
It was obvious that Kimmel had understood it better than he did.
Therefore, he said that to snag his attention. He had then taken the opportunity to pull him up and
dragged him away from the cave that was about to explode.
Calvin covered his face with his hands as tears rolled down his cheeks.
He needed to manage the Harvey Group well and raise Jerry to be a good person. These were the only
things he could for Belle, and these were his only reason for survival.
Managing the Harvey Group was his forte, but he knew not the first thing when it came to raising Jerry.
"Jerry, what happened?" Paige asked in distress as she came rushing down the stairs when she heard
Jerry''s cries. She hurriedly picked him up from the ground.
Jerry had long noticed the change in Calvin''s attitude, and his wails from the beginning had petered out
to fake sobs. Paige held him in her arms, with her face full of distress.
Jerry knew that he had managed to escape punishment from his father.
At that time, two figures emerged through the door.
"Hi, Aunt Paige. Hi, Calvin, Jerry," Rosa greeted them with a smile as she entered the house with
Martin.
"Aunt Rosa," Jerry greeted her happily. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw her.
After Belle had left, Rosa would asionally fly over from the USA to take care of Jerry. Of course,
Martin would always apany her, tailing her like a lost puppy. The only time they were separated
was when Rosa had to attend a ss. Otherwise, they were basically joined by the hip.
"Jerry, do you miss me?" Rosa took Jerry from Paige''s arms and hugged him as she asked in a coy
tone.
After Belle''s death, she felt a great deal of pity for Jerry, and even more so for Belle''s suffering. She
would often remember the pain in her heart ande back to visit Jerry whenever she could. She
would also take the opportunity to take care of matters in Harvey Manor.
Jerry wrapped his arms around Rosa and shamelessly said, "Aunt Rosa, I miss you so much. You have
to spend as much time as you can with me."
"Rosa, Martin, you''re back!" Calvin said as he quietly wiped away the tears from his eyes. He lifted his
tired face and greeted the two before standing up. "Martin,e over here. I have something to
discuss with you."
As he spoke, he took the lead in groping his way up the stairs and headed for the study.
"Rosa, why don''t you stay here and apany Aunt Paige and Jerry? I''ll head upstairs for a while,"
Martin said to Rosa before following Calvin up the stairs.
"Rosa, it''s all thanks to you for oftening back to take care of Jerry over the past year. You even
help to take care of the matters in Harvey Manor." After Martin left, Paige took Rosa''s hand and sat
down on the couch. She smiled and said, "Jerry, look at how beautiful Aunt Rosa''s dress is. It can''t be
good if you dirtied her dress, can it?"
Paige said lovingly to Jerry as she took him from Rosa''s arms and sat him on herp.
Jerry pouted his lips and ensconced himself obediently on Paige''sp.
"Aunt Paige, Belle left us all of a sudden. She was so kind to me when she was alive. She treated me
better than my own sister. Jerry is too pitiful. Plus, Calvin is so busy, and he''s not willing to hire anyone
to take care of Jerry. He insists on doing everything himself. Isn''t that an impossible mission. I don''t feel
at ease, so I make sure toe back and take care of Jerry whenever I have the time. This is my
duty," Rosa said in a low voice as tears started to pool in her eyes.
Tears started to well up in Paige''s eyes when Rosa mentioned Belle. She lowered her head and wiped
away her tears.
Both of them fell into grief for a moment and did not say anything.
