Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 166

"No matter what, give me a satisfactory answer today." Tristan didn't care what he had in mind, he opened his mouth morosely and absolutely. He was never that easy to be bullied, after finishing his words, he sat quietly on the sofa again.

‘Boy, you want time to think in silence, well, I'll wait for you!’

"I wonder what kind of an answer you want, Mr. Johnson?" After only a moment of thought, Calvin spoke indifferently. "Mr. Johnson, you know that I am a descendant of the Harvey family and my grandmother is still alive, if you want me to marry your daughter, she would only be a concubine, what do you think?"

What a bully!

"Calvin, do you think I'm really a fool? You are already divorced, you can marry my daughter, yet you want her to be a concubine. I am a government official, what ancestral tablets, family tree, in my eyes, that is all nonsense. Since you are registered, you are a couple, don't mention these messy things to me. Do you think this is a feudal society, and you want to have three wives and four concubines? I'm telling you, it doesn't work with me, it's not up to you now." Tristan's face was stern as he solemnly declared.

These words were very harsh, and Calvin's eyes were shinning.

"Mr. Johnson, I respect you, but I didn't expect you to describe our Harvey family's ancestral tablets and family tress as a mess. I really didn't expect that a dignified official would not respect the ancestors of the common people or folk culture in the slightest, if that's true, then I'm sorry, there's really no way for me to marry your daughter." Calvin was very indignant at Tristan's insulting words about his ancestors. He despised him for taking personal revenge on the incident at Castle Peak Lake, and when he heard such underhanded words today, the trace of apology he had for him disappeared from his heart.

What he hates most is being blackmailed. He doesn't give a damn.

The air has the darkness of a choppy seabed.

The tense confrontation was instantly high.

Calvin slowly stood up and looked at Tristan from a high position. Although it was not possible to see the deep dark light inside the glasses, his aura was sufficient and there was not a bit of fear.

Tristan's crossed legs stopped swaying lightly and his back stiffened.

"Mr. Johnson, do we have to make it so difficult between our two families?" He asked word for word, his tone as gentle as possible. But the light in his eyes was fearless.

"Calvin, you have to distinguish clearly who must make things difficult now." Tristan, despite his aura, felt a slight inexplicable weakness, and he seemed to have become the bully landlord forcing the marriage.

And his daughter looked like a cheap item that had been returned, which instantly raised the flames of angry inside him.

He slowly took off his glasses and took a soft cloth out of his pocket and gently wiped them off, and after a long time, feeling more comfortable, he put them back on and then stood up in an official manner and said.

"Young man, you can't be reckless and impulsive in anything you do. It's good to have courage, but knowing how to move forward and backward is great wisdom. I appreciate your talent, but that doesn't mean my bottom line can be exceeded indefinitely."

At this, Tristan stepped forward, patted on Calvin’s shoulder and said, “Calvin, it is okay for a man to make some mistakes, but all excuses are not excuses. We all live in real life, and I just want to see the results."

His chubby hands rubbed his shoulders and he gave a smile.

"I asked you out today, not to discuss with you how to settle the matter between you and Lexie, but to ask you, on which date is you and Lexie's marriage set? She is pregnant now and she can’t wait. I can tell you solemnly, you must give a date for the wedding within a month, or I will tell all the media about the scandal you have done. Although you are smart and know how to avoid bad luck, don't forget that I have never been easy to be bullied. This is not a trivial matter. Lexie is my only daughter. You should know that parents can go to any lengths for their sons and daughters."

Tristan smiled as he said these words, but his tone and the temper that flowed from him showed that defiant.

Obviously, Tristan was angry.

This was a matter of his daughter's happiness, and he would never be merciful. If his daughter was not happy, so what he was an official?

Calvin stood rigid, his face somewhat dull, the air dumped all that heavy pressure from Tristan. He clenched his hands, his eyes stared at the snowflakes flying outside the window, all that came to his mind was the figure of Belle.

Tristan put on his suit and walked away with aplomb.

On his face was an unfathomable, grim smile.

He understood that now was not the time to completely flip-flop with him, and that deterrence was far more effective than flip-flopping. It can be handled in a much more resilient manner than civil cases.

Calvin closed his eyes and stood sullenly, in his heart he knew better than anyone that Tristan had only come to give a warning today, that up to now, all the news media did not know about Lexie's pregnancy, and that this should be his strategy, for he said he would tell all the news media about his scandal then.

He can't help but laugh at the thought of it, with an unmistakable smile of sadness.

Of course, this was just a reminder to him. With his tactics, how could Tristan simply let him off the hook like this?

In Kedar Leisure Club.

Calvin stepped into the elegantly decorated room of the club, a young man immediately appeared before his eyes.

"Calvin, you are here." The man stood up, smiling brightly, and greeted him.

The grey coat, with a high collar covering his long neck, set off his acrobatic figure in a slender, straight line, and the face was definitely that of a handsome man.

"It's a great pleasure to welcome Director Albie Williamson to A City." Calvin had a bright smile on his face.

"Calvin, it's been two years since we've seen each other." Albie shook hands with Calvin and reached out to put an arm around his shoulders.

"It is my honor that you still remember me, Mr. Williamson." Calvin said indifferently.

Albie smiled, "Calvin, can you not tease me?"

"I can't afford to offend you, Mr. Williamson." Calvin said in mock fear.

"Calvin, stop that." After the two of them took their seats separately, Albie said with a little regret, "Since the last election campaign, we seperated in the capital, unknowingly so much time has passed. I do have the intention to come back to A City to see you, but you know I got occupied."

Calvin sighed and echoed with a smile, "You are in an important position, working for the country and the people, unlike me an idle man. Of course, I can sympathise with and understand the busy schedule of you, Director, and express my absolute support. "

The words made Albie's face twitch and he immediately punched him and said through clenched teeth, "Calvin, you're still talking harsh, I really don't know how your wife had been living with you for the past few years!"

Four years ago, Calvin and Belle's wedding was attended by Albie, then he went to the capital, then two years ago he ran for the head of the Public Security Department. Calvin personally went to the capital to help him canvass for votes in order to support him, all of these Albie is remembered in his heart.

Mentioning Belle, Albie's eyes were filled with an envious light and he said, "You are blessed to marry such a good woman, you should cherish her."

Calvin's heart was touched and a rare softness flashed in his eyes.

Both Albie and Calvin were classmates at the C University, one year above Belle, but both had a deep impression of Belle. The secret that Calvin liked Belle when he was at university was clear only to Albie.

Back then, Albie also had the intention to chase Belle, but once the three of them met in the wooded lane of the campus, Belle's eyes all fell on Calvin's face, with the shyness and tenderness of a young girl, and Albie of course read the special meaning contained in her eyes.

At that moment, he knew that he had no chance of winning if he went after Belle, and that he did not care to do anything like fighting his friend over a woman.

"Why do I feel jealousy in your words?" Calvin snickered, knowing that Albie didn't know much about his marriage and didn't intend to elaborate.

Albie laughed, "Even if I am jealous, I can’t be jealous about your wife."

"What do you come to A City, do you need me to entertain you?" Calvin laughed before asking straightforwardly. For him, there had been no much polite surface work done, after all, they were good friends for so many years!

"Well, this is more or less related to you." Albie finally got down to business, "I heard that you are investigating the case of Ethan Morris?"

Calvin was surprised to hear that, wondering who got involved in this case, even the director of the public security department came for it.
