Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 170

"Family matters? Whether it's a family matter or a private matter, I have more say than you guys. Don't forget, Ethan is my father-in-law, you guys are nothing!" He stepped forward, raised her chain and said with a cold smile, “You are squatting on another's property, I can’t stand it. Moreover, Belle is my woman. You even dare to bully my woman, if this gets out, I would be laughed at."

Hanna's face was clamped between his strong fingers and she could not move, only to look at him with wide eyes in shock and horror.

"Listen, within a week, get out of the FlyHeart District immediately and return every single penny of the property that should be returned to Belle, otherwise, in a week's time, I will have someone throw you out directly. And I will also have that restaurant you run on Deqing Road closed down immediately, of course, if you don't want that, then be good and obedient, return all the property belonging to Ethan to Kate and Belle, and I will pretend that none of this ever happened." Calvin snapped in a stern voice.

It was the first time he had seen such a heartless family, and he considered himself to be a man of dark means, but compared to this family, it was simply too good.

Since the tragic death of Ethan in a car accident, Kate was seriously injured and even stayed in the hospital for so long, even for the kidney replacement surgery, none of the family members had visited her. It was said that Ethan had given them a lot of help and taken care of them in every way, but what Calvin did not expect was that only a few days after his death, they had impatiently seized all of his property.

People can be ruthless and heartless to this extent, and Calvin has seen it.

Such people have always been the ones he disdains the most and hates the most. Just based on Lexie's principles of hiring, Calvin has enough reasons to dislike her, and she would even bring such a woman into the Harvey Mansion.

But now he had to hold his tongue.

Because he had done something he shouldn't have done that night!

But he must get justice back for Belle, quietly without her knowledge. It would have been fine if he didn't know about it before, but now that he knew about it, it was a different story.

Calvin's harsh threat had already frightened Hanna to the point where her face turned white and her body chilled. Calvin was full of harshness and the light in his eyes was cold, as if he wanted to shoot her through.

How could she bear the thought of moving out of the FlyHeart District, which would mean that the family would have to go back to living in the dark, damp and cramped conditions of the slums?

Why? They were obviously divorced, and the two of them could just live in a flat, they only needed a big house for the whole family. Why Calvin intervened?

Hanna wanted to stand up and beg him, but Calvin had already walked away.

She stood frozen, lost in thought.

Lexie had long since left her behind and followed Calvin's ass.

Paige walked nervously back and forth in the study, only to be relieved when Calvin came striding in.

"Calvin, you're finally back." Paige saw Calvin enter and closed the door tightly, whispering, "How is your father? I went to see him in the hospital today and was stopped by the nurse, saying that he was under special care and could not see anyone for a month.”

Calvin breathed out and said casually, "Mom, I hired a doctor back from America and am taking care of Dad's treatment, so you don't need to go to the hospital these days."

Paige breathed a sigh of relief and asked hopefully, "Is there a sure cure for his illness? Will your father still be able to stand up?"

Regarding the matter of Belle accompanying Hudson to America for an operation, Calvin was not willing to tell anyone, including Paige. If what Belle said happened three years ago really had nothing to do with her, then there would be people with ulterior motives in Harvey Mansion, and he had to guard against them.

It's not to guard against Paige, it's just that Paige's emotional contrasts make her easy to be exploited.

"Mom, if treated properly, there is still hope for a cure, and it is entirely possible for dad to get up, but none of this is certain yet, after all, this disease has been delayed for too long. Mum, don't worry, believe me, this is my dad, there is no reason for me not to do my best." Calvin put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her.

A satisfied smile appeared on Paige's face, but it soon tightened up again.

"Calvin, how are you thinking about Lexie?" Her face was full of nervousness and anxiety.

"What?" Calvin replied unconcernedly, walking towards his desk and picking up a book to read.

"Calvin, you are still pretending to be confused here, this is not a trivial matter, it can't be taken lightly." Paige saw Calvin's casual attitude and was worried, so she said solemnly.

"Mom, you know this is not a trivial matter and cannot be taken lightly, so I can't be sloppy." Calvin read the book seriously and replied, but his face was an expression of helplessness.

"Calvin, you know full well what I mean. Lexie is pregnant now, and the Johnson family will not let us off the hook for such a thing unless you marry her." Paige was so anxious that she snatched the book out of his hand and said very seriously and earnestly.

"Mom, no matter what, I won't marry her. If you want to ask my opinion, I've already made it clear long ago, and I'm telling you again now, I don't want to marry her, and I won't marry her, she's simply not suitable for me." Calvin said it righteously, word by word.

Paige's heart jumped as she listened, and she took a step back, her face turned white. Only after a long time did she shiver and say, "Calvin, I don't understand why you have changed so fast. You're an adult now, you have to know how to take responsibility. You used to hate Belle so much, but now you're determined to marry her, this is not reasonable."

"Mom, only I know whether the shoe fits or not. As you said, I am an adult and know what is right and wrong, what to do and what not to do." Calvin's patience with this question had reached its limit, and he was obviously not too willing to answer Paige's words anymore.

"But, Calvin." Paige's voice rose sternly, "Today, Jennifer came over and said that Tristan is already angry, if you don't give a date to marry Lexie as soon as possible, their family will be ungracious. Calvin, this Johnson family is not something to be messed with, that Tristan is very deep in heart. I'm afraid that he will take revenge on Harvey Corp and on you."

At this, Paige burst into tears. If Tristan made a bad trick, it would sway the root of Harvey Corp. After all, the company's roots are in A City, and there is still room for further globalization, so to offend this type of person is like playing with tiger. She had worked with Hudson, so she know the gains and losses.

A contemptuous smile rose to the corners of Calvin's mouth and he said coldly, "Even if he wants to do something, he can't break the law, can he?"

Paige was shocked to hear that, and she held the chair, said with a sigh of relief, "My child, you are really not well versed in the world. You don't know the dangers of the world. The politicians often used dirty tricks. Even if you know that he has ruined you, you can't find any evidence, you can only swallow the anger, so you better not mess around with them.”

The face of Jennifer was getting darker and darker every day, and her tone of voice was getting more and more impolite, and she would not stop until her goal was achieved.

Paige has been living in fear every day, but her son is not aware of the dangers involved, and is still reluctant to marry Lexie.

"Son, from their standpoint, we should think for them. They only have a daughter, and now she is pregnant, and the father does not want to admit it, anyone would not be able to accept it." Paige still seriously persuaded. She only has a son, Jennifer loves her daughter, she loves her son.

Calvin's face was sullen and obscure. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, just leave this to me, I know how to handle it."

Paige saw that her son had finally shown signs of agreement and sighed with relief. Looking at his sullen look, she reminded him, "Son, marriages in the gentry are all based on interests, it's no big deal. Lexie has to marry you, and you did make a mistake, so just nod your heard. If you really like Belle, you can absolutely keep her around. You're a man, I don't need to tell you the details and I'm sure you'll understand, and why get upset over these things?"

Seeing that her son was haggard, Paige felt heartache. In her eyes, all this was not important. The Johnson family has power, and to marry his daughter may not be a bad thing. She had heard that although Tristan was an official, he had a lot of money in his name. So she thought there was no need for her son to be upset.

The so-called love, for the rich and powerful, is just a fling. Of course, if he really likes a woman, as long as the woman is willing to stay, it is also possible, otherwise, how can the phenomenon of concubines exist in the A City gentry now? Many rich and powerful men do have a few women outside, but they play deaf and dumb, but his son was stubborn in marriage.

Thinking of this, she sighed and said, "Calvin, if you are worried that Belle will have concerns, I can help you convince her."

Now Calvin finally understood why Paige didn't like Belle, but after all, they weren't even on the same level, so how could they get along well?

She couldn't understand Belle, but that didn't mean he couldn't understand.
