"Sorry, it's my fault. How should I apologize to you, Harriet?" "She just apologized by drinking. So, you should do the same thing. Come on, I’ll personally pour the drink for you!" Harriet's face lit up with a mischievous smile. She was like a playful young girl. The next second, she picked up an open bottle of liquor from the table and poured a full glass for Nora. With a sly smile, she handed it to her. However, except for Delbert, no one present knew that it was just a part of Harriet’s scheme.As she handed the drink to Nora, a silver needle lightly touched the surface of the drink from her sleeve and was quickly withdrawn. It was too swift to be caught. Then she discreetly signaled to Molly, who was ignored by everyone on one side. Molly seemed to understand and quietly took out her phone. Delbert noticed everything, his beautiful eyes narrowing lazily as he remained silent and observant. The playful glances between Harriet and Nora sparked in the chilly air. "
In just an instant, Nora's forehead was covered in fine sweat. Her face flushed, and her eyes became unfocused and alluring. She realized that the drink Harriet had given her earlier must have been drugged. Otherwise, she wouldn't be feeling this way. Nora turned to glare at Harriet right away. Her face contorted to the extreme, but she couldn't resist the dizziness that overwhelmed her mind. Harriet unabashedly met Nora's gaze with a hint of disdainful smile on her lips. Did Nora want to harm her? Nora had no idea what she could do! Lula was the first to notice Nora's unusual condition. She frowned in confusion as she asked, "Nora, are you alright?" "I'm fine. I just feel a bit unwell. I'm sorry, I-I need to leave first. You guys enjoy your drinks." Nora pinched her throbbing brow and tried to leave before she lost all sense of reason, fearing Harriet's scheming. But before leaving, she shot a fierce glare at Harriet. She absolutely couldn't afford to humiliate
At this moment, Nora suddenly felt that Harriet in front of her had become extremely strange and terrifying. Meanwhile, due to the shock, the medicinal properties in Nora's body erupted uncontrollably. As a result, after Harriet let her go, her rationality had collapsed.Nora stumbled and pushed open the door of the private room, then ran out. Driven by the medicinal effects, her eyes became hazy and disoriented. "Hot! It's so hot! Someone help me!"She kept tearing at her clothes to relieve the heat inside her body, feeling weak and helpless. The wealthy and noble guests who came to enjoy themselves at Holy Night were shocked to see this scene. Some recognized Nora and immediately started criticizing her."Hey, isn't that Nora Munoz from the Munoz family? What’s she doing?""Oh my goodness, she's actually performing a striptease!""Tsk, I never expected this. She’s already lost face once, but now she's doing it for the second time!"The crowd was filled with murmurs, mos
Caught off guard, Vernon was somewhat stunned. As for Nora, she had long lost her rationality and was clinging to Vernon, making it impossible for him to push her away.Soon after, the reporters bombarded them with questions."Mr. Morton, are you and Miss Munoz in a romantic relationship?""Now that you’re openly dating at Holy Night, does it mean your wedding is on the way?""So, is Miss Munoz's refusal to marry into the Carlson family because of you?"One sharp question after another was thrown at Vernon by the reporters. He had to quickly shield Nora behind him, not to protect her, but to prevent her embarrassing state from being captured by the reporters and causing trouble for him.Faced with the reporters' questions, Vernon got mad as his chest heaved up and down, his nerves taut, and his anger raging inside."No more photos!"Vernon couldn't bear it any longer. He snatched a camera from a reporter and smashed it on the ground.There was a moment of silence at the sc
"Marc, please..." Lula continued to act coquettish.Marc frowned and looked at the place where Lula was holding him, feeling a strong desire to push her hand away. He slightly turned his head, but his eyes inadvertently fell on the somewhat stiff figure of Molly.He wanted to explain it to her.Molly naturally noticed Marc's gaze, thinking that he wanted her to agree. So she took a deep breath, composed her expression, and put on a gentle smile."You can stay with Miss Becker. I can go home alone."Molly had a perfect smile, but Marc didn’t think she was really fine. The broader the smile, the sadder she felt inside.This reply from Molly left Lula dumbfounded. Should she praise Molly for being tolerant? Or was Molly deliberately putting on an act?Seeing her entangling Marc in this way, Molly could still smile and even sincerely? Marc was stunned. After hearing Molly's words, every breath felt difficult for him.Did Molly really not care about him? Could she really t
Harriet: [Taking more photos will be too kind to them.] She replied with a light blink.Harriet already had a good idea in mind.Harriet: [Molly, help me report it to the police.]Molly responded simply with a question mark. She obviously didn’t understand Harriet's intention.Harriet: [Report it the police and say there's an improper transaction in the room where Vernon and Nora are!]Harriet wanted to make this matter big through the hands of the police and see how they would handle it!Molly paused for a moment on the other side of the phone, then immediately replied.Molly: [No problem!]Although Harriet's methods were ruthless, Vernon and Nora deserved it!Putting down her phone, Harriet sat up straight, waiting for Delbert to come out of the bathroom.To her surprise, the next second, there was a sudden "howl" at the door.In an instant, a large, snow-white creature rushed into the room with great excitement. It pounced on Harriet, then excitedly rubbed its furry
"No, I don't."Delbert smiled, his deep and beautiful eyes slightly squinting like a fox, concealing his desire.Harriet had indeed grown up. Every frown and smile of hers was excessively attractive."I’m sleepy. I want to sleep. Goodnight, Delbert!"Delbert wanted to say something more, but Harriet had already rushed ahead like a little rabbit, darting into the covers and burying her head securely inside.Delbert shook his head with a smile, feeling that Harriet was too adorable!After that, Delbert turned off the light.Harriet thought that the day would end just like this, especially after so many things had happened today and everyone was very tired. But unexpectedly, as soon as Delbert got into bed, he directly embraced her thin waist, then suddenly pressed close to her. His hot breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel uneasy and out of sorts.By the faint moonlight streaming in from outside the window, Harriet could clearly see the gleaming light in Delbert's eyes. H
"No! Police? What are the police doing here?"Nora came back to her senses. She screamed, and immediately covered her body with the quilt."We received an anonymous report that there is an improper transaction taking place here. We need both of you to go with us to the police station for investigation."The police inspected the entire room and woke up Vernon, who was still in a daze.He was completely bewildered. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a group of police officers.Vernon still remembered encountering the frenzied Nora at Holy Night last night.She wouldn’t let him go, and then his consciousness became hazy.When he woke up, he was already in the hotel room, and the police had arrived.Looking at the purple and blue marks on himself and Nora, Vernon rounded his eyes in shock to the extreme.Did they?Did he and Nora both lose control of themselves and have sex last night?No, no, it was impossible!"Get dressed and come with us!"The
Chapter 783Delbert spoke like a spoiled child, and Harriet couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Delbert was acting strangely.After holding her for a while, Delbert led her to walk outside."Let's go!" he said eagerly.It made Harriet feel even more puzzled.Before long, they arrived at a nearby amusement park.After getting out of the car, Harriet noticed that the scenery at the amusement park was beautiful."The Ferris wheels!" Delbert smiled, leading her toward the Ferris wheel.Delbert bought two tickets, and they got on the Ferris wheel hand in hand.Throughout the ride, Delbert held Harriet's hand tightly, while his other hand secretly took out an engagement ring from his suit pocket.Harriet saw it and finally realized what was going on.It was a surprise that Delbert had prepared for her.Delbert went down on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Ms. Harriet Munoz, would you be willing to marry me?"His eyes shone eagerly. He was even more nervous than when Harriet marr
Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? I remember everything!"Marc held her hand and listened quietly.His heart was in turmoil, but he didn't know what to say.Molly didn't want to recall those things, but today she had to bring them all up."I bumped into Lula scheming against you and was forced to sleep with you. Then I married you. But would Lula let me off so easily?"Marc could guess what had happened, and he said, "It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it. I'm different from before. You can trust me and depend on me."Molly forced a smile and said, "You don't know. Because of your misunderstanding and torment, Lula had people insult and slander me. Those things eventually led to my psychological trauma, causing my depression. Do you understand now?"Marc looked at her pale face and felt a sting of guilt.It was his fault.He held Molly in
Chapter 781Molly intended to drape the blanket over Marc, but Marc woke up."You're awake. How are you feeling?" Marc said with concern, his eyes bloodshot.Molly shook her head. "I'm alright. Sorry to wake you up.""Well, the doctor told me that you had taken many antidepressants," Marc said in distress.Molly turned pale, not expecting the doctor to reveal her depression.The disease had been haunting her and reminding her of the unpleasant past.Molly met Marc's gaze and faltered. Her hands clutched the blanket, as she didn't know how to broach the topic."You're my wife. I have the right to know the truth," Marc said seriously.They had been together for so long, but he didn't know about this matter until an outsider told him.Molly bit her lip and shook her head. Unable to hold back, she cried out, "I'm sorry, Marc. I really..."Marc stood up and took her into his arms. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed you. It's okay if you don
Chapter 780When Marc arrived at the hospital, the medical team was already waiting at the entrance.Marc quickly briefed them on Molly's condition. "My wife suddenly fainted. I'm not sure what's going on. Please help check on her." "Mr. Welch, please wait outside," the nurse said, intercepting him.Marc looked at the closed emergency room, and anxiety caused him to feel breathless.After a long time, the doctor came out, and Marc urgently asked, "How is she?""After a series of tests, we confirmed that Harriet has stomach cancer," the doctor said solemnly.Marc was struck dumb. Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine? Did you make a mistake in the examination?" Marc said, looking at the doctor incredulously.He had been with Molly for so long, but he hadn't heard of her stomach discomfort."I know the res
Chapter 779Later, Delbert handed over the audio recordings of Sadie and Felipe's conspiracy, as well as the evidence of Sadie's attempt to embezzle assets from the Carlson Group, to the police.The police immediately began the trial of Sadie and Felipe. In the end, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.Excited about the news, Harriet led Delbert to see Miriam.Seeing her innocent look, Delbert wanted to embrace her and protect her forever.Miriam saw Harriet's happy face and asked, "What's going on? You look so happy.""I have some good news to tell you," Harriet replied.She let go of Delbert's hand and hugged Miriam. "Felipe and Sadie have been sentenced to eight years in prison. We won, and the Bass family is finally ours."Miriam took some time to overcome her shock. "Is it true?"She never thought they would win in the end.Harriet nodded vigorously, and Miriam confirmed the truth.She could finally return to the Bass family.She no longer cared about Fel
Chapter 778Levi raised his glass to congratulate them. "Yvonne, Delbert, I wish you happiness forever.""Me too," Arthur said.The others followed suit. Delbert had to drink with them one after another.They wanted to test Delbert's endurance and love for Harriet.Delbert kept drinking until his face was flushed red.When the meal was over, Andy and the others went back to rest.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the living room.Harriet used the tissue to wipe Delbert's face.Her gaze was filled with tenderness.Enchanted, Delbert grabbed her hand and put it on his chest."Harriet, I missed you so much," he said.His breath, mixed with the fragrance of wine, sprayed on Harriet's face.Then Delbert bent down to kiss her.They cuddled together, their eyes locked in a collision of longing.They kept holding each other, and Harriet bravely met his gaze.Delbert picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sound of rain drowned out many sounds, but it couldn't extingui
Chapter 777Soon, Delbert received a mail containing the documents.He skimmed them through and found that everything was fine at the company. Ben was quite a good manager.Delbert was satisfied with his performance.But Ben remained nervous, even though he could tell Delbert's good mood."You've done very well!" Delbert praised.Relieved, Ben scratched his head and said, "Thank you, sir.""You've been with me for a long time. Do you think I should give you a raise?" Delbert said.In Ben's mind, his current salary and the benefits provided by the Carlson Group were quite good, but who would refuse more money?"Is it okay, sir?" he tentatively asked.Delbert fell silent. Ben shivered and quickly added, "No need. I think it's good enough.""No, you will get a raise," Delbert smiled, having learned to scare people from Harriet.Subconsciously, he had been affected by Harriet.Ben was overjoyed, wondering if it was Harriet's credit.In the evening, Harriet sent a message to D
Chapter 776Delbert handed Saide over to the police and left without hesitation.Sadie bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The police officers took her away for interrogation.Sadie couldn't accept the fact that Delbert had no feelings for her at all.In the interrogation room, she licked her wounds and refused to talk.Her heart was broken, and her face was covered with tears.Delbert couldn't wait to see Harriet.Harriet was working. To avoid disturbing her work, he decided to meet her at the family banquet in the evening."I'm working right now. Can you come over tonight?" Harriet said.She was eager to see Delbert, holding and smelling him."Oh, you don't want to see me?" Delbert teased her."How could that be? But I'm working. With you around, I can't focus, so you have to wait for a while," Harriet said while reviewing the documents.After Felipe's arrest, a lot of things at the company required her attention. She was up to her neck."I can help you," Delber
Chapter 775Felipe was on tenterhooks when he received a message from his trusted aide."Miss Bass has disappeared in Meawood City. We couldn't find her," the man reported."Keep searching and find her at all costs," Felipe urgently said.He used all his connections and even hired private detectives, but there was still no news.It wasn't until Sadie returned to Imperium that Felipe got the information. To his surprise, Sadie had gone to Meawood City with Delbert.Although Delbert had lost his memory, Felipe couldn't feel reassured. He decided to temporarily leave Imperium and lay low for a while.He packed up his belongings and planned to escape abroad.Just as he was transferring his assets at home, the police suddenly came to his door."Hello, are you Mr. Felipe Bass?" they said.Felipe didn't expect the police to act so quickly. He said nervously, "Yes, may I help you?"But the following words from the police dashed his last hope. "Based on the video sent by Miss Harriet
