Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 623

Belle read Liya's IOU over and over again before putting it away in her pocket. She then headed to the Fragrance Garden.

"Hudson gave her a call that morning, asking her to meet him in the study at Fragrance Garden later at noon. He told her to be secretive and not let anyone see her."

"Belle was a little sleepy at noon, but knowing Hudson, he must have intended their meeting to be in secret, hence arranging it at noon. She got on the electric vehicle and headed towards the Fragrance Garden."

"It was quiet in the Fragrance Garden. Some of the maids were transferred to the Ink Garden, whereas some of them were still taking their nap. Belle headed upstairs to take a look at Jerry. Aunt Ella was keeping him company in his room. Jerry was sleeping soundly. Belle kissed his cheeks and stayed there for a short while."

"Ever since he knew that she was pregnant again, Jerry no longer stuck to her like glue. Belle was also occupied with a lot of other matters. She was exhausted at most times. Aunt Ella and Larry were basically taking care of Jerry on her behalf. Jerry was busy with his own stuff too. His home tutor would teach him new things each day, and he would spend everyday with meaningful activities."

"After learning of Jerry's situation that day, Belle then headed upstairs."

The atmosphere was slightly heavy in the study. Belle walked in to find Hudson and Lomen waiting for her.

"She greeted them both. Hudson then gestured to her to sit on the couch before saying, ""Belle, I have something to tell you today. It's about Liya."" Hudson paused for a while before asking with concern, ""Belle, you must be tired at this hour. It won't take long."" "

"The reason Hudson had Belle over was that he was worried she would be emotionally burdened with Liya's presence and be in low spirits. He didn't want her to worry much, especially when she was pregnant."

"He didn't have a choice but to keep Liya in Harvey Manor, despite knowing that this decision would hurt Belle the most."

"Dad, it's okay. I'm getting enough sleep and nutrition everyday. So, I don't feel that tired. Belle smiled and shook her head. She could roughly figure out what that meeting was about upon hearing the mention of Liya's name."

"Great, you definitely need to make sure you get enough rest. Hudson felt more at ease. He then turned to Lomen and said, ""Lomen, you can start telling us the results now."""

"Sure, Mr. Hudson, Lomen replied. He then took out a stack of documents from the folder in hand and said, ""I took Old Madam's will for authentication a couple of days ago, and the result is out now."""

"Speaking of that, Lomen paused for a brief moment as he flipped through the documents."

"Belle, we never once believed that Grandma would revise her will to be like this, but we need solid evidence to prove it. Therefore, I discussed with Calvin, and we decided to send the will for authentication. Now that the result is out, we want you to join us, Hudson explained to Belle with a pleased tone."

"Belle listened calmly, as if she already knew about Hudson's intention."

"Mr. Hudson, Madam, the result is like this. Lomen cleared his throat before continuing to say, ""The handwriting on the revised notes matches that of Old Madam's, but the results show that there's something odd in the ink of this word. It seemed like it wasn't written at the same time. You can refer to it here,"" Lomen said as he pointed to the word 'must' on the will."

Belle squinted and looked at the word. The ink on the word 'must' was indeed fresh and slightly different from the rest.

"Then someone must have amended one word, Hudson said with a thoughtful look after taking a look at it."

"Yes, Mr. Hudson. The results state that the curves in this word are highly suspicious. Lomen said in a pertinent manner, ""It also states that we should send this to the judicial authority for inspection at a higher level."""

"That confirmed Hudson's speculation. However, he was still in deep thought."

"Dad, what can we do when we prove that someone had amended the will? Belle asked calmly."

"We're already halfway close to our success to prove that this word, 'must', was amended. Even a slight difference like this can further strengthen our argument. Belle, you do believe that Grandma wouldn't revise her will to be like this, don't you? Sophia has always loved you, and it wouldn't make sense for her to revise her will in a way that would hurt you. Therefore, there's no suspense in saying that someone else fabricated the will, Hudson said genuinely and gently to Belle."

"Belle nodded. ""That's true. I don't believe Grandma would revise her will this way too. I've been reading through the sentence over and over again for the past few days, and I do agree that this 'must' word is suspicious."""

She answered Hudson's question with certainty.

"Since it is now proven that the will has been fabricated, then it shouldn't be a problem for us to declare that the will is invalid. Hudson continued to say in a pertinent manner."
