Chapter 155 Heart in Turmoil
Chapter 155 Heart in Turmoil
How could he have done such a thing! How could he stand up to Belle!
The thought only ran through his mind and a shiver ran through his body.
"Calvin, you're so good, so brave, it really hurts me." Lexie leaned into his arms and wrapped her arms
around him, her face full of shyness, a satisfied expression all over her face, a demented light
streaming from her gaze as she looked at her with both pleasure.
Calvin jerked up, his face white, "Lexie, you're mistaken, I didn't ask you out last night, I asked Belle
out."
Lexie's face immediately turned ashen, she took the bed sheet and wrapped it around her body, her big
eyes were full of tears, she cried out loudly, "Calvin, I know you like Belle and don't love me, but
yesterday you really slept with me, but, don't worry, I won't blame you, I was willing to, and I love you
very much, I won't ask you to be responsible."
As she spoke, she sobbed, trembling as she dressed.
The agitation in Calvin’s body was still stirring, and Lexie's aggrieved look made him at a loss as to
what was wrong, how could this happen? He rushed into the shower room and turned on the cold water
to clear his mind.
The cold, bone-chilling water rained down from the top of his head, and the restless fire in his body
gradually subsided, and he remembered the events of last night.
Last night, it seems that he was drunk after drinking that glass of red wine from Martin, and in a blur, he
didn't know anything, but before he fell asleep, he heard a gunshot.
His eyes snapped open and a shudder ran through his body.
Where is Belle?
He asked her out last night and she was at the hotel when the gun went off.
At this thought, he was stunned, and in a moment of fear, he scrambled to grab a bath towel and wrap
it around his body, and then rushed out to find his phone.
Lexie has gone.
This relieved him.
This time she didn't pester him, nor did she ask him to take the responsibility, which in turn made him
embarrassed.
Just last night, did he really sleep with her?
Damn, a hard punch against the wall and he couldn't remember anything.
A blur of what seemed to be a woman's body wrapped around him and he was all hot and bothered,
but he had no memory of it!
But Lexie was lying all over his body without clothes, her body was covered in hickeys!
The more Calvin thought about it, the more chagrined he became that he couldn't find his phone
anywhere.
He had to pick up the phone in the guest room and dial his number, and his phone was answered.
"Hello." Inside was a slightly tired female voice, Calvin's heart jumped up wildly at the sound of this
voice, it was none other than Belle, so he was surprised and happy.
"Belle, is that you?" He asked, lowering his voice.
Belle's heart lifted when she heard Calvin's voice.
She had just woken up when the mobile phone rang, and when she saw that it was a phone number
she didn't know, she picked it up, and when the other party heard a female voice, it had been hung up.
It rang several times in quick succession and then the person stopped calling.
This added more mystery.
She simply stared at the phone. Coincidentally, the phone rang again a moment later, this time it was
Calvin who called. She asked with surprise, “Calvin, where are you? Are you okay?”
"Belle, I'm fine, how about you?" Calvin immediately asked in return.
They both remembered the gunshot at the hotel last night at the same time, and both seemed to be
worrying about each other, and were both relieved at the same time to know that the other was okay.
"Belle, why do you have my phone?" He asked, not really able to figure out what was going on. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Calvin, it's hard to say, where are you? I'm going to see you, let's talk about it after we meet." Belle
climbed up, prepared to find Calvin.
However, Calvin on the phone spoke after a moment of silence, "No need, Belle, you should go back to
the office first, I will return to the office later, let's meet there."
After saying that, Calvin hung up the phone.
Belle stood lost in thought for a moment, and then hurriedly went to wash her face.
Not long after, she carried her bag out of the door, but as she had walked out of the entrance of
Fragrance Garden, she met Lexie walking over. She was not well dressed, looked tired, but full of
energy. She even gave a smug smile when she saw Belle.
"Good morning, Belle." She greeted Belle.
Belle frowned, but forced out a faint smile, saying indifferently, "Good morning."
She didn't stop in her tracks and walked ahead.
"Belle, when you see Calvin, tell him I've gone back to Harvey Mansion." Lexie called out to her and
said in a charming voice.
These words made Belle's eyelids jump, what did she mean? Was she hinting at something?
Could it be that Calvin was with her last night? Thinking about Martin's claim that he took a beautiful
woman to a room, could that beautiful woman be Lexie?
Lexie said it was hot and took off her coat. In a moment, her lace and gold-trimmed breasts were all
exposed to the air, and the deep cleavage was infinitely charming, but what made Belle unable to move
her eyes were the dense hickeys on her exposed neck and the skin on her chest, which dazzled the
eyes.
Belle's heart ached violently, as if she had realised something, but she did not want to believe it.
It was a cold day. When Lexie said it was hot, so it was clear that Lexie took off her coat on purpose.
What does this mean?
Belle turned her head away, hastily walked towards the electric car.
Behind her back, she heard Lexie's soft laughter of triumph.
Her face instantly blanched.
Calvin sat in the hotel sofa, his fingertips lightly rubbing his brow, his head vaguely aching.
What happened today was too much for him to get used to.
Lifting his hand, he picked up the phone next to the coffee table and dialed a series of numbers.
"Luca, it's me." He spoke in a dull voice.
"Mr. Harvey." Luca spoke up.
"Wait for me at the LY embankment." Calvin said calmly after a moment's thought.
"Okay, Mr. Harvey." Luca replied.
A chilly wind on the embankment by the moat of A City.
Calvin sat in the Hummer, his face expressionless.
Shortly afterwards, the figure of Luca appeared beside the Hummer.
He opened the door and Luca got in.
"Mr. Harvey, it's a miss." Luca spoke sharply before he could sit still.
"What the hell is going on?" Calvin frowned, his face full of gloom.
"Mr. Harvey, after we sneaked into Room 820 yesterday, we realised that Bill was not even staying in
the 808 Presidential Suite and his name was not registered at the front desk. We had a few batches of
people guarding the various entrances, ready to catch him, but he brought men with him. One of his
men found us, and shot at us. The police came and we had to retreat, but Bill was nowhere to be
found." Luca said with great perplexity.
Calvin frowned at this, and Bill had come to the hotel and changed the room later. The Room 808 was
just a front. .
"Did you people get hurt?" Calvin's fingers twitched as he gripped the steering wheel.
"No, this time we were at the dark staircase, the bullet dug into the wall."
Calvin panted darkly and nodded.
"Mr. Harvey, what's our next step?" Luca asked with some shame for not completing yesterday's task.
Calvin waved his hand, “No rush. I have set up a trap for him, in a few days, he will jump into it, and he
will be caught alive then. We only to have followed our plan.”
Calvin was confident and it surprised Luca secretly, who nodded his head repeatedly.
"By the way, Finley has taken over the case of Ethan from today, if he needs any help, try to
cooperate." Calvin thought of something else and spoke blandly towards Luca who was about to leave.
Luca nodded again with a smile.
"Okay, you can go." Calvin's fingertips rubbed his temples and he waved his hand.
Luca jumped out of the Hummer and took a taxi to leave.
Calvin sat in silence and drove off in his car.
In the senior ward of the People's Hospital, Aron was reading the newspaper with one hand when
Calvin came striding in.
"Mr. Harvey." Aron put down the newspaper and smiled, his face was a little nervous, but his eyes were
a sober and resolute light.
He had just read the newspaper that there was the sound of gunshot at the Hilton Hotel last night, and
vaguely thought of something, and then he saw Calvin walking in.
"Your wound is better, isn't it?" Calvin walked over and bent down to gaze at his wound, examining it
personally.
"Thank you for your concern, I am okay." Aron was very worried about what happened last night and
was unconcerned about his injury and replied.
"That should not be underestimated, after all, your internal organs got injured, so you should cooperate
with the doctor for the treatment." Calvin spoke softly and with great concern.
Aron was touched that Calvin came to check on his condition every day.
