Chapter 9 Welcome Dinner
Chapter 9 Welcome Dinner
Hearing Calvin's harsh words, Lexie was stunned. For the first time she saw Calvin angry in front of
her, and it was for Bella, and a burning anger ignited in her heart.
She understood Calvin's character and she could never bring up this issue again, otherwise she would
annoy him and the marriage would be cancelled.
For this day, she had spent so much effort. But when everything was going in a good direction, Bella
unexpectedly appeared again and was actually invited into Harvey Corp, how could she bear it? She
must not let this woman ruin her promising future.
She could not miss such a great opportunity.
She loved Calvin, who could only belong to her.
Now that Calvin has agreed to marry her, that's enough, so why push too hard!
Lexie wiped away her tears and put on her make-up again, a bright smile surfaced on her face, but the
light in her eyes was as frosty and sinister.
Belle, just wait and see how I will clean you up, I will make you get the hell out of Harvey Corp forever.
Inside the most luxurious karaoke in A City, the lights are dim, the coloured lights are flashing and the
atmosphere is bursting.
Belle sat moodlessly in the corner, a helpless faint smile on her face.
Tonight is a special celebration hosted by Harvey Corp in her honour to welcome her to the group.
She didn't want to come at all, but Spencer was desperately trying to have her attend, so she could
only come. Besides, he knew that Calvin never bothered to attend such occasions, so as long as she
wouldn't see him, it didn't matter.
The loud, noisy laughter shook Belle's mind and made her stomach very uncomfortable. She stood up
and walked towards the outside, a long light green dress set off her poised and delicate body shape.
Connected to the karaoke box is the open-air stage outside, where the trees are green, the breeze is
swaying and a bright moon is hanging high!
The faint fragrance of French red wine wafted in the breeze as she walked out of the box.
This upscale club is the most prestigious and luxurious place in A City. All those who can enter here
are the elite of A City, rich or famous. Harvey Corp, the leading consortium in A City, holds its annual
meeting here every year, including various welcome parties.
To be able to work in Harvey Corp is a great honour for all young talents in A City.
Belle walked casually, as the lady of the Morris family, she was still used to seeing such occasions.
The sound of crisp laughter floated towards her. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The steps that Belle took stalled, and a dark light enveloped her eyes.
Lexie, dressed in full make-up, walked over in a dignified manner, her figure slender and smiling.
Her face was a charming, self-satisfied smile, her eyes glowing with a luminous light, except that from
the occasional stream of light that spilled out of her dark eyes, Belle sensed a morose chill.
They meet narrowly and stand face to face!
Belle's heart sank abruptly, avoiding her eyes.
The other beautiful figure beside Lexie made Belle's eyes widen and she was surprised when she met
those eyes.
The woman standing beside Lexie, wearing a sexy halter dress, her face heavily made up and demure,
was looking at Belle with cold contempt and disdain.
"Hanna, what are you doing here?" Belle exclaimed in shock.
The misty light reflected on Hanna's stunning face was somewhat metaphysical.
"What, I can't come?" Hanna raised both eyebrows, saying arrogantly, "Are you the only one who can
come to such a high-class place?"
"You ...... " Belle was lost at words. Her uncle and his family had betrayed her and took all her fortune,
but Hanna was her cousin, who was also a member of the Morris family, so Belle thought she should
remind Hanna with a kind heart.
Why Hanna was with Lexie? She had just turned 18, shouldn't she be at school?
Lexie is a meticulous, arrogant, and malevolent woman, and Hanna does not know about this.
Hanna's eyes were full of admiration, and she stood beside Lexie, flattering Lexie with all her heart and
soul!
Belle smiled bitterly in her heart.
Tonight was supposed to be a private event for Harvey Corp for the staff to have a relaxing time, and
the atmosphere was fantastic!
But because of Lexie's arrival, the whole room suddenly quieted down and all eyes fell on her. No one
expected Lexie to come, as arrogant as she was, she never bothered to attend this kind of staff party.
"Hello, Miss Johnson." Everyone bowed in respectful unison and called out in a respectful voice.
Lexie held her head high and smiled slightly, nodding her head in a queenly manner.
"Miss Alice, where are you going to? Is the welcome party tonight still satisfactory?" Lexie was all
smiles as she stopped in front of Belle like a superior consoling a subordinate and asked with concern.
Belle gave a faint smile, but her eyes looked towards Hanna and reached out to take Hanna's hand,
"Hanna, you should not come to such a place, hurry back."
She pulled Hanna outside with great force.
Hanna shook off Belle's hand and pushed her hard, cursing angrily, "Bah, Belle, what do you think you
are? How dare you drive me away? I am at Miss Johnson's side, what are you? You're just Calvin’s ex-
wife, and you're still shamelessly stuck in Harvey Corp. What qualifications do you have to mind my
business?"
With a face full of disgust, Hanna yelled loudly, "Do you think that by working at Harvey Corp, Calvin
will fall in love with you? Dream on."
Her eyes were full of bravado and contempt.
Belle was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground, hitting the person holding the red wine glass behind
her.
The crowd was stunned! Shortly afterwards the whole room whispered.
"Miss Alice turned out to be the wife of Mr. Harvey."
"Gee, I heard that Mr. Harvey hates his wife so much that he never goes back home."
"So she's the unloved ex-wife who never showed up at Mr. Harvey's side."
"She isn't as bad looking as the legend says! She's quite pretty, so how come she can't get Mr.
Harvey's love!"
"It's really pathetic, in the end, she was still repudiated by Mr. Harvey."
......
Various unpleasant murmurs were stirring, and they all turned their eyes to the fallen Belle, in their
eyes was astonished, contemptuous and sympathetic.
No one actively tried to give her a hand.
How could they dare to help a woman that even Mr. Harvey didn't love!
