Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 609

"Brooklyn mumbled a reply and didn't mind it, as he said, ""Just tell me about your request."""

"Calvin sat down and asked in a solemn manner, ""Grandpa Brooklyn, it's about Yadriel's election. Do you think he's capable of governing the Capital City?"""

Calvin didn't bring up anything else but this question.

"Upon hearing this, Brooklyn frowned, but his expression was still calm, without any trace of emotion."

"Calvin, it is not up to me to decide whether he is a suitable governor or not. The citizens will decide his fate through their votes, Brooklyn replied faintly before turning around to look at him and said, ""Calvin, I heard that your Harvey Group is in trouble now. You better tell me what happened and if there was any crime involved. If there was, then I will never let you get away with this."""

"Calvin's face fell as he heard that. He then said, ""Grandpa Brooklyn, the Harvey Group has always been clean and proper. We will never involve ourselves in any illegal activity. I hope that you will believe that we're innocent, and we will never leak any confidential information. So, I don't think that I did anything wrong."""

"You're quite stubborn, aren't you? It seems like I won't get anything out of you. Brooklyn had a stern expression on his face as he asked, ""I heard that there are strong accusations against you, and the one who leaked the information was from your side. The higher-ups in Harvey Group were the ones who broke the law. So, what else do you have to say about this?"""

Calvin was shocked. He did not expect Brooklyn to have a clear grasp of the Harvey Group's current situation already.

"Grandpa Brooklyn, we have been framed by someone else. I'm looking for evidence, and I believe that it wouldn't take long for me to prove myself. Calvin immediately defended himself in an aggrieved manner."

"Alas, Calvin, I'm afraid that they might not give you the chance to look for evidence. Brooklyn sighed as he murmured to himself."

Calvin was dumbfounded. 

"After a long pause, he then said, ""Grandpa Brooklyn, I hope you can help me put a stop to Yadriel's election. He doesn't deserve to become the governor of Capital City."""

"Brooklyn looked solemn. He took a sip of his tea and patted Calvin on his shoulder as he said, ""You're still young. You have to be patient."""

Brooklyn then diverted the topic and asked Calvin about Sophia's condition. There wasn't any opportunity for Calvin to shift the subject at all.

"After chatting for a while, Brooklyn took his leave. Before he left, he held Calvin's hand and advised, ""Young man, you should cherish your family and have faith in justice. The time will come. Be patient."""

"Calvin couldn't read through Brooklyn's smile at all. His gaze was as deep as the ocean, as he held onto Calvin's hand for a while before walking out with his staff."

Calvin sent him all the way to the hotel's entrance.

A military vehicle with a red flag pulled over by the hotel's entrance. Calvin helped Brooklyn to the car.

The secretary opened the door.

"Grandpa Brooklyn, take care. Calvin supported Brooklyn into the car before watching him leave."

"Calvin was puzzled by the meeting. He did not get any clear answer from Brooklyn, and their conversation was never really on track. Calvin's heart felt heavy as he thought of Yadriel."

The night gradually engulfed the apartment. The nightlife in Capital City seemed restless.

Calvin was seen pacing back and forth in his room as he drowned himself in deep thoughts.

The doorbell rang.

"Come in, Calvin spoke in a deep voice."

Blake entered.

"Mr. Harvey, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, Blake said seriously, with a calm expression after coming in from the outside."

"Calvin looked up and asked in a slightly surprised tone, ""If you have something to say, just tell me."""

"Alright. Blake nodded. ""Mr. Harvey, there's someone else you can look for help for the matter concerning the war-torn country."""

Who? Calvin asked as he stood still and stared at Blake.

"Upon hearing that, Calvin was puzzled as he asked, fixing his gaze on Blake, ""Blake, what are you trying to say?"""

Blake pursed his lips. The smile on his face was somewhat unpredictable.

"Mr. Harvey, I heard that Madam Lilian made a secret trip back to A City this time to look for her long-lost daughter."

Calvin was shocked upon hearing that. He paused for a while before gasping. "How did you find out about this?"

"Blake was still looking calm, as he smiled faintly and said with confidence, ""Mr. Harvey, I'm a well-known private investigator in A City. In our field, we have our own ways of finding out whatever has happened in A City. I have many informers working for me. You have to believe me."""

Calvin was startled.

Are you saying that Belle might be Madam Lilian's daughter? Calvin asked in surprise.

"Calvin then was reminded of Kate's face. He laughed in silence and shook his head as he said, ""Blake, you're too imaginative. Belle resembles Kate so much. How couldn't they be related at all? Even if Madam Lilian is indeed looking for her long-lost daughter, it won't be Belle."""

"Blake remained as he leaned against the wall, shaking his head as he said, ""Mr. Harvey, Belle is indeed Kate's daughter. That's correct. But have you ever wondered about Kate's mother? You're her son-in-law. Do you have any clue?"""

Calvin was puzzled upon hearing that question.

"Who was Kate's mother? Calvin neither had heard anyone talking about it, nor did he ever think of asking anyone about that."

Does this mean that Madam Lilian might be Kate's mother? Calvin narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I'm not sure about this yet, and I can't confirm anything, but I do know that Madam Lilian already has her doubts. According to the information I have, Madam Lilian has already met with Kate before her departure. As for the details, you will have to ask Kate herself. I don't know that much, Blake replied as he had no way of explaining."

"Calvin pondered in silence, but he was rapidly processing all the information he had learnt. He started to recall how fast it was for Madam Lilian to get close to Belle at Yezon's party that night. Madam Lilian even asked Belle about her mother. Their interactions were natural and close. There was nothing forceful in the way they interacted with one another. Could it be that Madam Lilian was actually related to Belle by blood?"

Calvin froze in place and did not say anything for a long while.
