Chapter 16 An Acquaintance"Miss Harriet, wait. Did you drop this needle?" someone suddenly called out.'Needle?'Harriet narrowed her eyes and turned around, only to see a familiar figure.'It's her.'Harriet's eyelashes fluttered.Sure enough, the track of her life had altered. She hadn't expected to encounter Molly Haynes now.Molly had been kind to her in her previous life, but those people had caused Molly to meet a tragic end.Harriet trotted up to her and asked in confusion while blinking."Miss, are you a nurse? Are you going to give me an injection? Can you please be gentle? I'm afraid of needles."She frowned and tugged at Molly's clothes with a pitiful look.Delbert noticed a change in Molly's expression.Narrowing his eyes, he walked over and pulled Harriet away. "Come with me!""Miss, I will come to you for injections later."Harriet looked back and waved cheerfully at Molly.In this lifetime, she needed a friend to help her get things done.After a long ti
Chapter 17 Seducing HimHarriet was startled and then blushed.Even her earlobes turned rosy."Harriet, why are you blushing?"Delbert whispered his question while knowing the answer. His lips were attached to her ear.Instead of finding the silver needle, he touched a sensitive spot, but his hand continued to grope down.As his fingers brushed against her skin, a surge of electricity coursed through her body, kindling a flame that slowly consumed her from within.If things went on like this, she would end up just like last night.Harriet came up with an idea and smiled slyly."I don't have any treasure, but I've found yours," she said, grinning at him.At some point, her hands reached Delbert's belt."Is this your treasure? It's hard. Is it candy or gold?"She blinked innocently, her hands on the buckle.Delbert's mind was blown.He couldn't stand Harriet's innocent look. For him, it was simply a kind of irresistible temptation.The girl continued to toy with his belt,
Chapter 18 A Vicious PlanEven so, Harriet wanted to give it a try, to have a place in Delbert's heart....In the banquet hall, Nora stared in the direction where Harriet and Delbert had left. Her face was contorted with anger.Unable to stand it, she stormed out and screamed in the corridor like a lunatic.Clad in her filthy clothes, she looked nothing like a wealthy lady but rather like a vulgar servant."Ouch! Are you blind, bumkin?"The frenzied Nora bumped into the same socialite whose shawl she had snatched earlier.The socialite covered her nose in disgust upon smelling the odor from Nora. "Eww, what is that smell?"Recognizing Nora, she burst into mocking laughter with her companion."I thought it was some impolite servant. Turns out to be the Top Beauty of Meawood City.""After learning that her former fiancé, whom she willingly gave up for her sister, inherited the Carlson Group, Miss Nora got so angry that she vomited on the spot and fell into her puke."The vid
Chapter 19 The Assistant"Nora, don't cry. I've got a plan."Bessie helped Nora up from the ground and revealed her plan.Nora stopped crying and smiled.Bessie's plan was ingenious. Even Nora, who always nurtured malicious thoughts, admired her mother for her craftiness.Just now, Milton had announced at the engagement party that Harriet would move to Delbert's island to live with him.They only needed to knock Harriet unconscious and ship her away before Delbert's car arrived tonight.They would send Harriet to the 'Happy Harpers', a place for power and pleasure transactions.Any woman who entered there would become a seductive enchantress within two months.And Harriet, with her low intelligence, would be in a helpless state. She would be abused or killed by those perverted dignitaries.Nora would pass off as Harriet and get into the car bound for the island.When meeting Delbert, she would find a way to drug him. The scene of them sleeping together would be filmed, and
Chapter 20 MollyAlthough Cory knew that the lady might not understand, he still had to answer truthfully.But the information caused a stir in Harriet's heart.Originally, she had planned to take matters into her own hands and get rid of the traitor.She never expected Delbert to find out about the mole and take care of it.This development was becoming increasingly different from the events in her previous life, and she wondered what would happen next.The car soon arrived at the Munoz Villa.Cory respectfully asked, "Madam, do you need me to accompany you to get your luggage?""It's okay. I'm a smart girl. I will finish packing up in an hour."She giggled proudly and hopped her way toward the house.Harriet was going to meet Molly later and ask for her help with something. It couldn't be known to Cory.Just as Harriet got in, Molly's car stopped not far away.She looked at the brightly lit villa and clutched the silver needle in her hand. Instead of entering from the fro
Chapter 21 The Silver NeedleAfter a long while, Molly regained her composure and said, "I can help, but before that, you need to know something."Molly took out her phone and played the recording of Nora and Bessie's conspiracy.Harriet listened with disdain.These two fools were entering her traps again."I owe you one," Harriet said with a smile."Let's settle this favor now. This silver needle belongs to you, right?"Molly took out the silver needle and handed it to Harriet.Harriet took it, and the silver needle gleamed in her hand."It was left to me by my mother," she admitted.As a fellow practitioner, Molly saw the profound medical skill in Harriet. Presumably, it was inherited from her mother, Miriam, the top physician in Meawood City."Do you know why I asked you about this silver needle? When I started my apprenticeship, my master instructed me that if I ever saw this silver needle, I should immediately inform him."Molly took out another silver needle, identica
Chapter 22 None Would Get Away'Soon enough, you will meet your doom,' Nora thought.Harriet took the chicken soup and discreetly inserted a silver needle into it while Nora wasn't paying attention.Once the needle was immersed in the soup, its color began to fade, confirming that the soup had indeed been poisoned.Harriet put away the silver needle and gulped down the soup.Nora smiled contentedly and counted the time in her mind.Once Harriet fainted, she would take her to the back door, where the people arranged by Bessie were waiting to take Harriet to the Happy Harpers.However, nothing happened as twenty seconds had passed.Nora wondered if the drug was fake when Harriet spat out the soup and wrinkled her nose."This soup tastes awful. I don't like it.""Are you messing with me?"Nora angrily walked over and raised her hand to slap Harriet.But Harriet grabbed her wrist."Yes, I am." She sneered, her voice cold and cruel.Nora froze and widened her eyes in disbelief
Chapter 23 UnsuspectingBessie approached the sack with a triumphant smile on her face. Little did she know that the one inside was her daughter.Harriet smirked and turned to leave.She needed to get into Cory's car and head to the island.Seeing her come down with her luggage, Clifton put on a gentle smile."Sweeheart, is the luggage heavy? Let me help you." Harriet declined the offer. After placing the luggage down, she pretended to be reluctant and hugged Clifton."Dad, I can't bear to part with you.""Me too!" Clifton put on a show of sorrow.He thought about taking the chance to ask about the inheritance left by Miriam.But before he could broach the subject, Harriet brought it up herself."Dad, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have sung to deceive you. Now I remember where my mother placed her treasure. But I have to leave now, or Delbert will be worried."Come and find me on Delbert's island tomorrow. I'll tell you.""Harriet, you are such a good daughter." Clif
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
