Chapter 179 Cruel Reality
Chapter 179 Cruel Reality
The winter in A City seemed to be particularly cold this year.
In the morning, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. There was still a little bit of sun.
But just after lunch, it snowed again.
After Belle had lunch with her mother in the hospital, she felt extremely cold and shivered. These days,
Calvin was by her side to keep her warm, but once she left him, she realized that it was too cold.
Then she thought of that mink coat.
That mink coat was that Belle's father specially brought to Belle when he came back from a business
trip in the north. Several years had passed, but it looked still so bright and new, which was also Belle's
favorite. Even Calvin praised her that she looked graceful and noble after wearing it.
Thinking of this, Belle had a smile on her face. After standing in the cold wind and shivering, she
directly took a taxi and headed towards Harvey Mansion.
The living room of Fragrance Garden was brightly lit and very lively.
The servants were busy arranging the living room, which was beaming joy. Belle looked at it from a
distance.
Did something happy happen? Belle was a little puzzled.
"How can this bitch still have the face to come back?" A strange cry sounded from the left of Belle. The
voice was so mean. Hearing it, Belle shuddered.
It seemed that she hadn't heard such harsh words for a long time, so that she had forgotten the pain of
being humiliated in the past.
Her face changed slightly. Belle turned her head away.
Hanna's gloomy face appeared in front of Belle. She was carrying a very delicate bag and looked at her
with contempt. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Belle was stunned for a moment. Calvin took back the property occupied by Hanna and her family. This
woman must be resentful and angry.
There was a faint smile on Belle’s face. She intended to ignore Hanna, so she turned her head and
was about to walk in.
"Tsk-tsk, shame on you. You and Calvin divorced but you still live in his house, destroying the
relationship of him and Lexie." Hanna moved back to the small and humid place where she used to
live. She was so poor now, so she was even more angry when she saw Belle. She believed that it was
Belle who had instigated Calvin to drive her family away, and even thought that Belle was still pestering
Calvin to take back the family property.
Belle had long been accustomed to her indifference and vitriol towards her. She didn't want to entangle
with Hanna at all. But the words were too humiliating. Now Belle was not easy to bully, so she stopped
and turned around angrily.
"Hanna, please show some respect and don't be full of bullshit." Belle said coldly.
"Respect you?" Hanna suddenly laughed, and said contemptuously, "A slut is a slut. How shameful you
are! If I were you, I would get out of Harvey Mansion immediately. Why do you still dare to come back?"
Hanna took two steps forward while speaking, glared at Belle with contempt, and said coldly, "Is it
useful for you to entangle Calvin? Except that you can take back those family properties from us, you
can’t get anything. Lexie and Calvin are going to get married soon. Now even Sophia has agreed and
they have already chosen the date. So just wait and cry."
Having said this, Hanna laughed out loud.
Get married? Listening to Hanna's words and looking at her hateful face, Belle suspected that she was
so angry that she said nonsense.
Calvin took back the property which Hanna and her family used various means to occupy. Of course,
Hanna would be distressing and unwilling. It was normal for Hanna to find an opportunity to humiliate
her.
Therefore, Belle just stared at her. Then she was about to walk forward.
Hanna didn't see Belle's anger and grief, not even a little bit of embarrassment. She felt weird. Could it
be that Belle really didn't love Calvin? Or did she not want to be Mrs. Harvey, or have other ideas?
"Tell you, even if you want to be Calvin's mistress, it's useless. Lexie won't let you go. Since I don't
have a good life, you can’t have it either. You will only be more miserable than me." Hanna shouted
viciously from behind.
Her screams were sharp and vicious, which burst into Belle's eardrums, making her tremble.
Suddenly, Belle felt so sick that she wanted to vomit.
The sharp cry got into her stomach, lungs, and heart. Then she felt all the internal organs began to
churn. Finally, her stomach began to cramp. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to vomit. Immediately,
she covered her mouth and squatted down.
"How dare you speak to Mrs. Harvey like this." A dignified shout came from behind. Hanna turned
around in shock, only to see a dignified middle-aged woman in a uniform and glasses, walking steadily
from behind.
She slightly held her head up, making others feel awe-inspiring.
Hanna was a little surprised. Who was this servant? So majesty!
Ruth stared at Hanna. A sharp light flashed in her eyes.
She walked directly to Belle and squatted down. Then she helped Belle up, and said respectfully, "Mrs.
Harvey, what's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"
Belle held back the nausea and raised her pale face. Seeing that it was Ruth, she hurriedly smiled
politely, "Ruth, I'm fine."
"You don’t look well. What's wrong with you?" Ruth looked at Belle's face with concern and asked
anxiously.
Sophia liked Belle. Ruth had been by Sophia’s side for so long, so she also liked Belle. More
importantly, Belle was elegant and graceful, which made her admire.
In any way, Belle could be regarded as an elegant lady, but she didn’t have a bit of indulgence and
debauchery belonging to wealthy women. Her prudence, diligence, and wisdom were by no means
able to be achieved by any woman.
Sophia valued her so much, of course, for a reason.
Sophia, who had experienced a lot, naturally knew what kind of person Belle was. But unfortunately,
Belle’s fate was not good. After Belle married into Harvey Mansion for so many years, Ruth had seen
what happened. She often sighed and felt sorry for Ethan, who raised such a good daughter. But…
Ruth just hoped that Mr. Calvin could give Belle a little more love, but now...
She sighed softly. The look in her eyes became even more pity.
"Ruth, I'm really okay. Maybe I catch a cold. I'll be fine in a while." Belle held back the nausea that
came up, raised her pale face, and said with a smile.
"Mrs. Harvey, your health is the most important thing. If you're not feeling well, you have to go to the
hospital. You can't endure it." Ruth gently advised, "Don't think that it’s nothing important when you are
young. You must know that some diseases are very serious. You should pay attention to your health.
You have lost a lot of weight recently. You don’t look very good. You have to take care of yourself."
Ruth spoke seriously, looking very solemn.
Belle could only smile and nodded.
Ruth looked up and saw Hanna standing there looking at her. Her eyes were full of suspicion and
disdain, as if she was judging her origin. A sneer appeared on Ruth’s face.
This woman named Hanna. Ruth had heard a lot about her long ago. She was just an agent who was
brought in by Lexie. Only a few days after entering here, she was picky, making a mess in Fragrance
Garden. The servants were all complaining, but they dared not speak out. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mrs. Harvey, just ignore those words which some people with ulterior motives said. You don't need to
care about those villains who have nasty minds. Everyone knows the truth. Come on, let's walk there."
Ruth said loudly on purpose. The sharp light in her eyes swept away Hanna.
Then, she helped Belle to the other side.
Belle instantly understood what she meant, smiled gratefully at her, and followed her to the side.
"Bitch, when Lexie gets married with Calvin, I'll be the first to fire you." Of course Hanna understood the
ridicule and sarcasm in Ruth's words. Seeing them walking away, she turned her head and walked
towards Fragrance Garden.
"Mrs. Harvey, Ma’am asked you to come over." After Ruth took Belle out for a while, she thought that
Hanna could no longer hear them, so she whispered to Belle.
Belle was stunned.
"Grandma wants to see me?" Belle asked softly.
"Yeah." Ruth nodded with a smile, "Recently, she often talks about you, saying that as soon as I see
you, I have to invite you over as soon as possible."
Belle felt warm. She smiled slightly, and asked with concern, "Ruth, how is Grandma?"
"Not bad." Ruth sighed, "She is fine, but she's too sober. She has to worry about everything. She's too
tired. You know she’s not young."
Ruth said.
Belle felt a little heavy when she heard it. She kept silent.
They two walked towards Ink Garden.
Sophia was lying on the bed with the soft quilt on her, closing her eyes to rest.
When Ruth walked in with Belle, Sophia was dropping her head, as if she was asleep.
"Ma’am, Belle is here." Ruth walked over quietly and whispered into Sophia's ear.
Sophia abruptly opened her eyes and was about to sit up.
"Grandma, no need." Belle hurriedly took a few steps forward and lightly pressed Sophia, who was
about to sit up forcibly, and said softly.
Sophia was old. It was not very good to sit up like this!
"Belle, you're here." Sophia, with sharp eyes, grabbed Belle’s hand and asked slightly tremblingly.
She looked at Belle. The look in her eyes was pleasantly surprising, loving and uneasy. Belle could
even see the guilt and apology in her eyes.
Belle felt a little bit of confused.
