Chapter 181 Grandmother's Trust
"Belle, only I am qualified to say whether you are worthy or not to have it, come here." Sophia
beckoned towards her after she knew her concerns.
Belle hesitantly approached Sophia, her face full of nervousness and anxiety.
"This jewel is only truly worthy of you, listen to me, I am sincere in giving it to you, take it, otherwise I
would not feel at ease even if I died." Sophia took her hand and hot tears flowed from her eyes, "The
Harvey family has wronged you, I have also wronged you, I have not done my duty to protect you. Now
that you have divorced Calvin, it is not your fault, it is my grandson does not know how to appreciate a
good woman. Since you can become a member of our Harvey family, it is fate, I am determined to give
you this jewel, you do not have to resist." At this point, Sophia took another breath and said seriously,
"I'm giving you this jewel actually with selfishness."
When Belle heard this, she was confused once again.
The uneasiness in her mind did not calm down but grew.
When she was in a dilemma, Sophia's desolate voice rang out again, "You don't have to hesitate, it is Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
impossible for Calvin to find a woman more suitable for him than you in his life. I have limited ability to
see you together. I don’t know how you are going to walk your path, but I need your favor.”"
When Sophia said this, her face was full of gloom as she took Belle's hand and looked at her.
Belle was terrified.
"Grandma, just say what you want, as long as I can do it, I'll do my best." Really unwilling to look at
Sophia's sad eyes, her heart trembled, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
"Okay." Sophia said solemnly, "No matter what happens in the future, please forgive my grandchildren
and forgive the Harvey family for the sake of me, okay?"
Sophia finished, taking her hand and looking at her with plead.
Belle's heart trembled and her eyebrows frowned slightly as she looked at Sophia in disbelief.
She really didn't understand the meaning of Sophia's words. Is she asking her to forgive Calvin for what
he did to her in the past? But she loved him so much, and love can encompass anything. She had
already forgiven him, so Sophia didn't need to give her such expensive jewellery! Still in thought, she
heard Sophia sigh and say.
"Maybe you don't understand now, but one day you will understand, I only ask you to accept it, only if
you do, I can have peace of mind. If you are not willing to accept it, it shows that you will not forgive my
grandson in the future."
Sophia's eyes bordered to despair.
Belle was completely at a loss for words.
"Please, just take it for my sake, or just keep it for me, okay?" Sophia was still begging her.
Belle feels like she's dreaming, having bizarre dreams, and can't wake up at all!
But the ninety-year-old Sophia just kept on pleading with her, which made her heart in turmoil!
It would hurt an old woman's heart not to say yes, but if she did, how would she feel at peace!
Belle really couldn't understand a lot of things, but at this moment, the grief and disappointment in
Sophia's eyes was so obvious that it was almost impossible for her to resist.
She really can't be ruthless enough to break an old woman's heart, so she promised first, or she would
give it to Calvin.
Biting her lip at the thought, she said decisively, "Yes, Grandma, I'll take it."
"Good, good." Sophia's eyes shone with tears of hope as she said in a loud voice. After saying this,
she took out a few pieces of paper from the brocade box with trembling hands and handed them to
Belle.
It was an invoice and a jewellery appraisal or something like that, but the piece of paper at the top still
stunned Belle.
It is a certificate, signed by Sophia herself, which clearly states that this jewel is gifted to Belle.
Her hands began to tremble. It seemed that Sophia had been preparing for this for a long time, never
on the spur of the moment.
Her heart was moved and troubled, could she really deserve this love?
Sophia handed the wooden box towards her with both hands.
Her hands were shaking, probably because of her age, she was struggling to carry the object.
Belle had to catch it in a hurry. The wooden box felt heavy in her hands.
The jewellery was finally handed over to her, and Sophia was relieved.
She then picked up a yellow paper bag and said to Belle seriously, “I have sent someone to investigate
your father's death and I have some evidence, but the matter is far from being settled. I am old now,
and I have limited ability, but Calvin will finish it. When I asked you to move in the Harvey Mansion, I
don't care if you can understand me, but I insisted on doing so. In fact, I didn't do it for the sake of
exchanging terms with you, I just wanted you to understand something, and for you both not to regret it
in the future. Belle, Calvin is a good child, though he is arrogant and uninhibited, but he is not bad in his
nature. He is sad after learning your father’s death and has been investing the reason. Inside this bag,
it is the information about your father’s death, I am now giving it to Calvin, so that he can help you with
the rest. I'm sure he'll be able to give you a satisfactory answer."
Sophia's eyes shone with a brilliant light, and Belle saw a shrewd and capable old lady.
Her eyed on the yellow sealed bag in her hand, her heart jumping.
On the day of the birthday celebration, Sophia called her in and offered her to move into the Harvey
Mansion for three months in exchange for helping her father investigate the cause of his death,
promising to give her a satisfactory answer within those three months.
She did not hesitate to say yes at the time and even moved into Harvey Mansion in spite of what others
might think.
Now that the three months are almost up, Sophia has given her a not-quite-complete answer.
"It's been almost three months, things aren't as simple as you think, can you wait any longer?" Sophia
asked seriously.
Belle was silent.
"Don't worry, no matter what decision you make in the future, I won't force you." Sophia sighed and
said solemnly, "Belle, can you promise me one more request? Stay at Harvey Mansion, give Calvin
time to help you investigate the truth about your father's death before you make a decision, okay?"
Sophia looked at her earnestly, full of expectation.
Belle was basically in the clouds, neither fully understanding what Sophia meant, nor even more so the
reason for her to speak in such a manner. Now she had the inheritance of Harvey Mansion and had a
good relationship with Calvin, she had no thought of leaving Harvey Mansion.
Sophia spoke again, "Your father's case will be somewhat complicated. I hope that you can face it with
Calvin, to return justice to your father, but also to understand your true hearts. When the time comes,
no matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Belle stood woodenly, thinking for a while before giving Sophia a reassurance answer, "Grandma, don't
worry, I love Calvin very much, I won't easily leave him and Harvey Mansion until I have to. Love has to
be fought for by myself, I understand that."
She spoke earnestly and firmly, and a pleased smile appeared on Sophia's face.
Having said that, she bade farewell to Sophia and slowly walked out of the Ink Garden.
"Madam, are you just going to let her return to Harvey Mansion? In that way, Lexie's pregnancy will be
known to her, will that be cruel?" Ruth looked at Belle's back as she walked away, remembering how
she had just encountered Hanna insulting Belle, and asked with great unease in her heart.
Sophia's eyes were deep sense of helplessness and vicissitude.
"Ruth, what else can I do now? Can such a thing still be concealed? If Calvin really loves her, he will
find a way to make up for it. If their relationship has really come to an end, then it is also the end of
fate. It is just unfair for Belle." When she said this, Sophia wiped her tears, her heart aching, "If I die
one day, it would be best if I can't see anything, but I'm still alive, it's really a sin."
Sophia was in tears as she spoke.
Ruth sighed for a moment and was saddened by the situation.
The sky was overcast and snowflakes were flying.
Belle carried a black bag. No one would have imagined that this bag contained the Heart of the Ocean,
the most famous jewel in the world today, but such a rare treasure was carried in Belle's hand without
any joy.
In the living room of Harvey Mansion, Paige was sitting on the sofa with Tristan and Jennifer, chatting.
Lexie pouted her lips and frowned slightly from time to time, putting on a bitter look, and whenever this
happened, Jennifer would reach over and touch her face, asking, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Lexie would be the one with the uncomfortable look of wanting to vomit.
Paige would be nervous, asking for things to be taken from time to time.
As soon as Lexie had to throw up, the living room would be in chaos.
