Chapter 194 Challenge or Demonstration?
Chapter 194 Challenge or Demonstration?
"But, Calvin, I love you, and I am pregnant with your child, shouldn't you be responsible?" Lexie
shouted in near desperation.
Calvin was so annoyed to hear that. She did not agree to abort the child. That night, he was drugged
by someone, not his intention, even he was confused, how could he want such a child?!
His head hurt. Why does she always blackmail him with the child?
There was nothing he hated more in life than this.
"Lexie, you know that I was drugged by Martin that night before that happened, it was not my intention
at all. Please calm down and think it over, don't always blackmail me with the child, it won't be good for
you." Calvin said with a gloomy face, after he finished speaking, he only felt unbearable pain in his
heart, slammed the door and left.
Lexie sat paralyzed on the floor!
Calvin's footsteps faded into the silent night, and her heart began to get scared. Even if she
blackmailed him with the baby, he wouldn't give in, was that really the case? She had done wrong, had
she?
Her body began to shake.
Where will future happiness be if she bents on this?
Knowing Calvin's personality, she knew that was true, and it was evidenced by his attitude towards
Belle all those years ago.
But what could she do? There was really nothing else to do but marry him!
And, she would have suffered more if she did not marry him.
When he promised to marry her, he was not at all as determined as he was now. How could it not be
love? It was clearly all because of that woman?
Now all the news media know that she was Calvin's woman, if they did not get married, what should
she do?
No, this was the only way to go!
Calvin, Belle, I will not let you get away with this.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes glowing with hatred.
In the City Council office.
Tristan had just returned to his office after the meeting and sat down when his secretary, Spencer,
came over to report that Isaac Chambers, the director of the Public Security Bureau, had asked to see
him.
Tristan held up his glasses, his eyes rolled, and said softly, "Invite him in."
"Yes." The secretary, Spencer, retreated and lightly closed the door.
Shortly afterwards, Isaac, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in.
"Isaac, what can I do for you?" He asked politely as he nudged the door with his hand.
Isaac understood and immediately closed the door, and also checked that it was tightly closed before
coming forward.
"Here, sit down." Tristan stood up first, walked to the sofa and sat down, pointing to the seat beside
him.
Isaac sat down, came closer and said in a lowered voice, "Mayor Johnson, something has happened to
the Hong Sheng Group, and the chairman, Marshall Turner, has declared the Hong Sheng Group
bankrupt."
What! Tristan's eyelids jumped and he asked, "Tell me in detail, what is going on?"
"Mayor, yesterday Marshall of the Hong Sheng Group said that his company had been acquired by the
Harvey Corp, and the situation was so hasty that a lot of information fell into the hands of Calvin
Harvey." Isaac said in a soft voice.
"What! Calvin." When Tristan heard the name, his face sank and his voice became much colder.
"Yes, Mayor Johnson, I heard from Marshall that it was indeed Calvin who bought his company, and
Calvin said that for the sake of Mayor Johnson, Calvin gave him some extra money and didn't let him
lose his money." Isaac replied with apprehension.
Tristan's face immediately darkened, so Calvin already knew what was going on behind the scenes at
the Hong Sheng Group, and had specifically named him!
Was it challenge or demonstration?!
Knowing that he was now trying to compete for the mayor's position, Calvin secretly got his handhold
and tried to blackmail him with it.
His eyes were deep and dark.
Calvin, it seems that you still don't want to marry my daughter and now you have started to act.
Tristan smiled coldly.
Hong Sheng Group was just an invisible pawn of his. Thinking that having it is a way of capturing his
soft spot? No way.
"Mayor Johnson, Calvin is young and vigorous, and I don't know exactly what he is doing this for.
Although this is not so much of a fatal threat, it is not good for an influential young man to know about
such a matter." Isaac said with some concern after all.
Tristan smiled and shook his hand.
He understood Calvin's mind. He was only to increase the bargaining power for not marrying her
daughter, and he would not act rashly for the time being, besides, this Hong Sheng Group was not
enough to pose a threat to him.
With a faint smile, he said calmly, "It doesn’t matter."
"Buy, this young man is not to be underestimated, and it is said that there are several places where he
has already got a handhold. I feel he is targeting you, but I don’t understand what he is thinking. Mayor
Johnson, it is said that your daughter has already lived in the Harvey’s, and is about to marry him, but
his behavior is really puzzling."
Were there a few more places? Tristan's fingers curved tighter, his voice malevolent.
It was surprising that Calvin had had a lot of evidence against him.
But having the guts doesn't necessarily mean that he will succeed.
Besides, after all, he is young and a smooth career has really encouraged his stubbornness, which is a
big no-no for young people!Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Some things are complicated, how dare Calvin openly confront him? He is really too young, thinking
that with his career success over the years, he can disregard all people?
If his daughter didn't like him, Tristan would have wanted to do something about him.
Tristan's eyes clouded over and he said in a deep voice, "It's okay, you should pay attention to the
aftermath and remove those companies quickly. Calvin can't do anything to me for the time being."
At this point, a chuckle broke out.
Isaac listened in awe, but Tristan's cheerful smile reassured him and he walked out.
Tristan's face was gloomy.
This showed that Calvin really didn't like his daughter anymore, and this time he risked his life to turn
against him in order not to marry his daughter!
"Who told you to sleep in Belle's bedroom? What the hell do you want?" Lexie was in an annoyed
mood, and when she saw Hanna, she shouted a reprimand.
What's the big fuss? Hanna thought, but her face carried a smile as she said, "Miss Johnson, I'm really
sorry, last night I was drunk and my brain was confused, that's why I walked into Mr. Harvey's
bedroom."
"What do you mean by Mr. Harvey's bedroom? That's just that bitch's bedroom, it has nothing to do
with Mr. Harvey. You didn't go to the guest room, but had to mess around with him and got caught, isn't
this intentionally giving me a hard time?" Lexie blackened her face. Remembering that even Paige had
lectured her last night, she was even more dissatisfied with Hanna.
Hanna knew that Lexie was unhappy for she had been snubbed by Calvin, so she had to say with a
gloomy face, “Miss. John, it will not happen again. That bitch dares not go back to Harvey Mansion, so
I want to be closer to you and take care of you. You are pregnant now, sure I have to do my duty."
Hanna was smart and sweet in her words.
"In his eyes, I am just an insignificant piece of wood, he can't wait to throw me away immediately."
Lexie muttered, drenched in distress.
"You are the daughter of Mayor Johnson, your status is more valuable than anyone else's. Mr. Harvey
is only temporarily charmed by that woman, but in fact, it won't take long for him to change his mind.
Besides, you are pregnant with his child, how could he doesn’t love his child. There is no reason not to
love you, Miss Johnson, you must hold on." Hanna bowed her head and humbled herself, trying to
please Lexie.
Lexie sighed as she listened. Remembering what Calvin had said last night, she felt upset.
"Oh, right." Hanna bent down, coming closer towards the seated Lexie, "Miss Johnson, yesterday, I
saw Madam answer a phone call, and then she was so happy that she kept walking around the living
room, in a good mood."
"What call?" Lexie was interested, but her mind was inexplicably nervous, and she could not help but
ask.
Hanna tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Right, it
seems to be saying something about the arm being able to move and getting better soon, but I haven't
heard it clearly."
For a moment Lexie could not return to her senses, her heart sank, and she stood up in some panic,
her face pale.
"What's wrong, Miss Johnson?" Seeing Lexie standing perversely, dumbfounded and unable to speak,
Hanna was momentarily puzzled and called her softly in an uneasy manner.
It was only after a long time that Lexie was awakened by Hanna's call, and when she came back to her
senses, a fine layer of sweat actually seeped out of her forehead.
"What else did you hear?" She asked anxiously as she pulled Hanna's arm.
"Nothing, afterwards madam put down the phone and said nothing more, I couldn't guess what it was."
Hanna shook her head and said seriously, puzzled and curious.
"This is very good news, well done." Lexie praised positively, and took out a pile of banknotes from her
pocket and handed them to Hanna, "Continue to keep an eye on it, and tell me instantly if there is any
news, I will pay you."
Hanna took the money with a joyful smile and said, "Okay, Miss Johnson, I will definitely keep an eye
on it."
