Chapter 215 Belle in Charge
Chapter 215 Belle in Charge
"Belle, I am getting old, now I'm handing over the rights of Ink Garden and the Harvey Mansion to you.
From now on, you will be in charge of the family." Sophia said in a small but firm voice.
What! When Sophia said this, even Ruth was stunned, and Belle was even more shocked and
incoherent, standing there without coming to grips with it.
On what grounds!
She was only an outsider, and she was considered an enemy to the Harvey family. Martin killed her
father, but Sophia was giving her the family at this time, what exactly did she mean?
Did Sophia really want to risk giving her everything, betting on her character and morals in the hope
that she will forgive her grandson, or did Sophia really trust her?
Her hand covered her stomach.
Could she carry this burden now that she was pregnant?
Or did Sophia already know that she was pregnant with Calvin's child? No, it was impossible, no one
other than Lottie would know that she was carrying a child in her belly.
"Grandma, I can't accept this." Belle was uneasy and decisively refused, "This is the Harvey Mansion,
your Harvey family's household, it's really inappropriate for me to be in charge. Grandma, you should
give it to Paige, I really don't dare to take it."
Belle dared not accept the responsibility of being the head of the family.
"Belle, I know that our Harvey family does not treat you well and I know that the Harvey family should
not have you to be in charge, but please help me and take charge of this family. I have trusted only my
own judgement, no one else in this Harvey Mansion can be in charge of this family except you."
Belle was confused hearing that. Paige was very smart and capable, so how could she not even be
able to be a family head? She was fifty years old and she could be good enough to be in charge of the
family, but Sophia seemed to have seen through her mind, so she spoke up.
"Belle, if Paige could be in charge this family, I would have given it to her long ago, after all, she is my
eldest daughter-in-law." Sophia's voice was somewhat helpless, and it made Belle confused.
"Grandma, Paige is very capable. I heard that she was the one who accompanied Hudson to develop
Harvey Corp back then." Belle defended Paige.
"That's right, she did contribute a lot to Harvey Corp back then. But at that time, she had Hudson by her
side. Hudson was calm and steady, and she was impatient, so they complemented each other.
Coupled with the power of her family, it played a great role. But Paige is arrogant, could not tell wrong
from right, and she is prone to be used. Calvin is the same. This is why I am uneasy about Calvin.
Belle, I think highly of you and am willing to give you this family, I wonder if you are willing to accept it
for my sake."
Sophia gasped after saying a series of words, and then looked up at her, the light in her eyes holding
expectation and hope.
Belle was dumbfounded, standing in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Could she accept being the head of the family?
No.
She stood still and not reaching out.
"Belle, just think of it as helping me, okay? In future, if you want to leave, feel free, just please help me
take care of it for the time being, okay?" Sophia pleaded again.
Belle could no longer speak.
Could she be so heartless as to refuse the begging of a ninety-year-old woman?
"Belle, Grandma is begging you, say yes first." Ruth advised Belle. She would be very happy if this
family was really taken by Belle.
"But, Grandma, you know that it's impossible for me to be with Calvin now, it's not that I don't want to
be the head of the family, but I can’t. It's not in the right name, it's a joke." Belle explained with great
difficulty.
"No, only you can be the head of the family. It is up to fate if you are with Calvin or not, but for the time
being, I would like to selfishly ask you to be the head of the family. Please help me to be the head of
the family, and if you and Calvin have really reached a point of no return, then you will give it to the next
head of the family, okay? " Sophia said with a very strong will.
What did she mean? The truth was that they were irreparable right now. Ever since Lexie became
pregnant, it had been impossible between them, and there was no way that she would still stay with
Calvin any more, she was just still waiting for a time.
But Sophia's stubbornness really gave her a headache, plus Ruth kept persuading her.
Sophia was old and after a while of talking, she was out of breath and tired.
Belle had no choice but to take the keys, but her heart was heavy.
Not being able to resist Sophia, she had to say yes.
Now she had to go to the hospital every day to take care of Hudson and she was still carrying a baby in This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
her belly. Who can be considerate of her?
She walked out with heavy feet.
Just after walking out of the gates of the Ink Garden, she unexpectedly met a pair of innocent eyes.
The girl looked quite with shoulder-length short hair, bright eyes, flushing face. She was endearing, and
it seemed that after just one look at her, Belle liked her.
She was Rosa.
In a short skirt with boots and a light red duvet, she looked so beautiful, and such a red colour didn't
look tacky on her at all.
Belle also wore red, but she thought she could never look pretty as Rosa.
"Are you Belle?" Rosa smiled sweetly upon seeing her, revealing two charming dimples.
Belle froze, it seemed to be the first time Rosa saw her, why did Rosa know her?
"Do you know me?" She asked with a polite smile and curiosity.
Rosa's bright eyes blinked and the smile on her face was very pure.
"I have known you for a long time."
Was this mockery or ridicule?
Was it that she was famous for her scandals or her divorce?
Belle's eyelids lifted slightly and she smiled blandly.
"Rosa, you are sweet. I am just a disillusioned person who is not in power, unlike you, you have a good
family background, loving parents and you are so young and beautiful. You will surely be a happy
woman in the future, rich and prosperous."
After finishing the sentence, she walked forward, not really intending to dwell on Rosa. They were not
on the same page and had nothing in common to say.
But Rosa smiled sweetly, reached out and took her arm, and her clear, melodious voice rang out.
"Belle, the cars you designed are so beautiful, I love them so much. I have bought one of all the car
you designed."
She spoke without concern, her face full of admiration, her eyes blinking.
So that was it!
Belle looked into her bright eyes.
There was a time when she had such a vision, when the world was full of dazzling beauty, but now she
had so many distractions that it was difficult for such pure eyes.
"Thank you for your compliment, I am glad that you love the cars I designed." She smiled faintly.
"Belle, can I play with you?" Her beautiful clear eyes were filled with anticipation and longing again, and
she even shook Belle's arm involuntarily.
Belle froze, not knowing how to answer.
"I just want to see how you design cars, I love the cars you design so much. I really admire you, you
won't reject me your loyal fan, right?" Rosa's face was blushing with excitement.
"Okay." Really don't know how to refuse her, only reluctantly nodded her head and agreed, but in her
heart, she sighed slightly. This girl seemed to have grown up in an environment of protetion, not
knowing the complexity of reality at all. Would she have to marry Martin in the future?
Martin had a deep heart and despicable ways. Was he really right for her?
She stood in a daze.
"Thank you, Belle, I will come right after I give this plum blossom to Sophia first, please wait for me."
Rosa giggled, overjoyed, and ran away fast.
Belle continued to stand still.
In just a moment, she saw Rosa rush over, intimately holding her arm and saying with a smile, "Belle,
it's so good to see you in Harvey Mansion. I saw you on TV at that time, I thought you are beautiful and
the car was so well designed, I really admired and envied it."
She was chirpy.
Belle smiled faintly, infected by her enthusiasm and happiness, and was actually in an inexplicably
good mood too.
She had to admit that it was hard for her to be in this mood now, but happiness would always be
contagious. Who's life will only be smooth?
Living an optimistic and positive life was important.
Her hand involuntarily touched her belly.
Once she married into the prestigious family with a beautiful vision of love, thinking that the road ahead
would be smooth and happy from then on, but unbeknownst to her, reality was often cruel and
unpredictable, but she could not sink into despair and she have to move on.
Instead of being sad, she should be happy and joyful.
"Rosa, when did you come to Harvey Mansion and how long are you planning to stay here?" She
asked with a smile.
"I just arrived yesterday and went to see Sophia first. She asked me to stay in the Ink Garden, and Dad
said he wanted me to stay at Harvey Mansion until after the New Year before going back to school."
Rosa replied briskly.
After that, she uttered with pity, “I have been to many places in Harvey Mansion, but I have never been
to Fragrance Garden. I happened to see you today, so I will go with you.”
