Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 656

"Grandma, what should I do? Belle wrung the towel and gently wiped Sophia's arm. ""You shouldn't have given me the Ocean Heart. I really can't protect it. I'm afraid I'll let you down."""

"Her voice was very low, like a mosquito buzzing, but her heart was heavy, as if it had been stacked with lead."

"Grandma, can you tell me where to hide the treasure? I've secretly sent it to the safe in the bank for extra precaution, but will it be safe? I'm at a loss at what to do, Belle mumbled to herself as she cradled Sophia's hand in hers."

"Sophia's eyes were slightly shut as she panted for breath. Her cheeks were already deeply sunken in, and her entire face was pale and purplish. Belle pursed her lips and stared at her face. She gripped her hand tightly and suddenly felt an unmitigated pain in her heart."

"She knew Sophia was still hanging on by a thread as she was bothered about the Harvey Group and everything about the Harvey family. Even if she was in a coma, she would hold fast to the family that she had once guarded for the rest of her life."

"Grandma, I have good news for you. The charge against the Harvey Group has been dropped, and no one can frame the Harvey Group anymore. So, you can rest assured. When Belle mentioned this, her voice was clear and also very loud. She held Sophia's hand, and the smile on her face was beautiful, albeit there were tears in her eyes."

"After a while, she saw Sophia heaving a long sigh. Her brows seemed to relax a little. Then, Belle's eyes lit up, and she asked in a loud voice, ""Grandma, can you hear what I'm saying?"""

"Sophia's throat made faint groans, as if she was struggling to open her eyes. However, after a while, she turned her head and closed her eyes, still in repose. Belle could only hear her weak breathing and could not help sighing. Finally, she wiped her tears and stood up. "

"Soon after she walked out, Ruth went in to take care of Sophia."

"Due to Paige's injury, Evan took care of the company. These few days, Hudson's face was extremely haggard. Winifred's two daughters were also bustling around in the company. Furthermore, Sophia had been bedridden for too long. In this fast-paced society, everyone was drowning in endless tasks. Hence, that night, only Sophia's son-in-law slept in the lounge to keep watch."

"Belle, who was pregnant, certainly could not be on nighwatch duty. When she returned to the guest room, Rosa was still sitting in front of the computer, painting and sketching. These days, she was immersed in her studies and did her homework aimlessly. She cut herself off from the outside world. Apart from helping Belle with Harvey Manor, she seldom asked about anything else."

"Belle was exhausted after she left the room. As she lay on her bed and saw Rosa's focused back, she was a little surprised. Rosa looked a little lonely, but her expression was raptly focused, and she was completely engrossed in her painting."

Rosa's had more or less matured.

"At least, her smile was no longer as pure as before. In many cases, Belle could see her forcing a smile, how she wanted to speak but stopped on second thought, and there was a hint of gloom hidden in her eyes."

"Belle, from now on, I will learn from you and pour my focus on fashion design, and I will establish my own career. As for love, I won't think about it anymore. Everything is up to fate. If I can't find someone I like, then que sera sera, I will be lonely for the rest of my life. That night, she and Belle were lying on the bed, and she revealed her thoughts to her. In fact, she was really doing it, and she was very persistent at that."

"At that time, Belle had even laughed at her and thought it was terrible for a woman to become a spinster."

"Nonetheless, Rosa's mind was firm and unshaken."

"At that time, Belle had thought she was just joking. Unexpectedly, this girl took it seriously and brought 'no rest for the wicked' to the next level."

"Belle sighed, fatigued. She leaned over and slowly fell asleep."

"Belle was not at ease after falling asleep. From time to time, all kinds of nightmares came unbidden. When she was half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear cries. She wanted to pry her eyes open, but to no avail. Turning over, she faintly felt that Rosa also got on the bed to sleep. She fell asleep deeply again, until a rapid doorbell blared."

"She sat up in shock and noticed that the sky outside was still gRhys, heralding dawn."

"Madam, something bad happened. Ruth was murdered. The servants outside cried out in a tearful voice, which tore the otherwise quiet dawn, and it made people's hairs stand on end."

What?! Belle was appalled!

She must be dreaming! Belle shook her head. She didn't want to believe it at all. She lay down and was ready to go back to sleep. This dream was too horrible.

"Madam, wake up quickly. Ruth was murdered. The maid outside, not hearing any movement inside, continued bawling."

"Belle heard it clearly that time, and even Rosa was disturbed."

Both of their eyes flew open and turned to each other. They didn't want to believe that it was true.

"Just after a while, a commotion came from the Ink Garden's living room, punctuated with faint sobs. The two of them woke up at the same time. They quickly got up, put on their clothes, and walked outside."

"When Belle rushed over, Hudson had already arrived. Although his face was glum, he could still be considered calm. He was directing the security guards around the messy scene. After preserving the scene, Evan also dashed over."

Belle passed by the servants and came to Sophia's bedroom.

Ruth had been stabbed several times and was lying in a pool of blood.

"Ruth. At the sight of this bloody scene, she approached the body and was choked with sobs. Belle covered her mouth with her hand, and tears immediately sprung up in her eyes."
