Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 511

"Upon seeing the changes on Liya's expression, Belle said solemnly, ""Liya, since you've received your higher education, you should understand that Sophia has done her best for you. You have no blood relation with the Harvey family, while your mother was just Evan's mistress and nothing more. Also, the fact that the Harvey family welcomed your mother to stay in Harvey Manor was purely out of kindness, as your mother has her own family to begin with. You know how much money your Dad tried to extort from Harvey Manor in the past, right? Do you really think Sophia kicking you and your mother out of the manor was really a big sin? Even if your mother once conceived Evan's child, Sophia could just compensate her, but she did more than that. Do you still think that Harvey Manor and Sophia owe you and your mother?"""

Belle's voice was a little cold as she warned Liya seriously.

"What's most important for a woman is to know how to love herself and act with propriety. Only with dignified actions and good character can one win over everyone's respect. In the past, you lived with your Mom in Harvey Manor for quite some time. Have you really never thought of why your mother wasn't able to get everyone's respect? Even then, she still hoped that she would be able to resolve Liya's misunderstanding towards Harvey Manor and make her come back to her senses. She also hoped that Liya would take the proper path and abandon her goal of becoming the second wife. However, after Liya learnt of everything, she decided that she would never want any men other than Calvin."

"In fact, she had to face Oscar's torture and her father's forced marriage proposals back home. She had no way out. Only Harvey Manor could bring her happiness."

"Humans were all selfish, weren't they?"

"She knew that her decision would hurt Belle, but at that moment, she had no choice but to brace herself and go on."

"Belle, I understand what you meant, but I love Calvin. I have fallen in love with him ever since I was young. I only want to protect him and am willing to do anything for him. In front of Sophia, Liya sobbed and continued. ""Don't worry, Belle. I won't harm your interests. I'll respect you and treat you as my real sister. Also, I'll abide by any rules of Harvey Manor. This place has been my only home since I was young. If I can stay by Calvin's side, then I can die without any regrets."""

"As she said that, she burst into tears. She sobbed while wiping her tears with her hand."

Belle tightened her grip on her clothes as she lifted her head to look at Sophia.

"Belle couldn't see what Sophia was thinking about through her wrinkled face, as she might've completely forgotten about the past. Right then, her mind would only be sometimes clear and at times blurry. Perhaps she couldn't remember anything anymore, or perhaps she might've completely forgotten who the crying woman in front of her was."

"After Belle closed her eyes for a while, she held on to Sophia's hand."

"Liya, since you like Calvin, my husband, so much, then it's fine. I'll be willing to do anything as long as it benefits Calvin. Today, I promise you, in front of Grandma, that Calvin will marry you in a grand manner. I'll also personally host the wedding for you and Calvin. I just hope that you can keep your promise that you'll only love Calvin wholeheartedly from now on."

"After a while, Belle opened her eyes and said firmly."

"Is that true? Belle. Upon hearing that, Liya's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression, and she asked in disbelief."

"Of course. How can I lie in front of Grandma? Belle replied firmly, ""But Liya, you have to swear in front of Grandma that you'll love Calvin forever, always be loyal to him, and think of him and Harvey Manor with your entire heart. Also, swear that you won't do any outrageous acts."""

"Liya was stunned for a while. Upon understanding Belle's intention, she was delighted, as she hurriedly knelt down and said loudly, ""Please don't worry, Grandma, Belle. I'll definitely love Calvin with all my heart in the future and am willing to do anything for him. I'll also protect Harvey Manor, just like Belle."""

"Belle felt the rope that was tying her heart getting tighter and tighter, to the point that she had difficulty breathing."

"She steadied her breathing, but her heart was still in great pain."

"Alright, Liya. Remember what you've said in front of Grandma and what I've told you today. Harvey Manor and Sophia don't owe you anything. They are your benefactors. You should understand the fact that you're able to get to this point in your life because of Harvey Manor. I hope you'll repay the kindness you've received, and not have any selfish motives. Belle heaved a long sigh of relief after she spoke. She felt as if she had said something stuffy that had been plaguing her heart for a long time as she actually felt relaxed in an instant."

"Don't worry, Belle, I will. Liya nodded in a hurry. She then said as she blinked her bright eyes, ""Thank you, Belle, for your generosity."""

"No, there's one more thing. You pushed Jerry into the pool today, which, in my opinion, is unforgivable, but, on account of Grandma's wishes, I'll forgive you this one time. If something like this happens in the future again, I'll definitely not let you off. Belle's face became very stern as she rebuked her."

"Liya was frightened. Nodding, she said, ""Don't worry, Belle, I really didn't mean to do that today. I'll treat Jerry as my own son in the future. Please forgive me, Belle."""

"As she said that, the rims of her eyes turned red."

"It's good as long as you remember it. Belle smiled coldly. ""I love Calvin. That's why I'm willing to do anything that can benefit him. So, I'm doing it for my own sake I guess. Also, I hope that you can make up for my shortcomings towards Calvin in the future. Don't worry. As long as you can behave properly and live on peacefully, I won't make things difficult for you."""

"Speaking of that, she turned her head and said, ""Liya, go out first. Wait for me outside."""

Liya agreed and left.

A stream of tears rolled down from Belle's eyes.

"Grandma, I've already helped you fulfil your wish. Don't worry, I know what to do. After Liya left, Belle whispered in Sophia's ear."

"Sophia's eyes were fixed on her, with her hand holding onto her hand tightly as she moved her lips, but she could not utter a complete sentence."

"No, my child. Belle could faintly hear her saying those few words in a trembling voice. It seemed that she could also hear Sophia saying, ""Thank you."" All in all, she did not quite understand what Sophia was trying to convey."

"Nevertheless, since Grandma was willing to tell Belle her regrets, she would be willing to bear that responsibility and fulfill her regrets."

That was her duty as her granddaughter-in-law.

"Hudson wanted her to accept reality, and Calvin wanted her to do the same as well. Even Blake and Otis also thought so. What could she do? If she persisted, it would only make others think that she was narrow-minded."

It was only due to her love for Calvin that she would persist. It was also due to the sense of responsibility she felt towards the family that she chose to accept reality.

"She silently turned around, but her hand was grabbed by Sophia."
