Just as Harriet looked confused, Delbert suddenly leaned in close to her, then his cold lips slowly pressed against her thin lips. A deep kiss left the woman blushing.

Harriet's eyes widened in surprise. Delbert's kiss had caught her completely off guard.

At this moment, she could clearly hear the pounding of her own heart.

It was about to leap out of her chest!

"Yvonne?"

Suddenly, a man's voice interrupted this sweet moment.

Harriet was taken aback. Why did she find this voice somewhat familiar?

Delbert's body also stiffened, then he immediately let go of Harriet.

Sensing his unusual reaction, Harriet felt a sense of loss.

It seemed that in his heart, the woman known as Yvonne was still the most important.

Harriet turned to look and saw a man in a black suit standing opposite her.

He was wearing a pair of white gloves and an exquisite brooch on his chest.

With fair skin like a girl, a slender build, and an air of elegance, he looked like a beautiful poster just s

    "I warn you. Don't touch my sister!" Henry was getting angry, glaring at Delbert and about to make a move. The tension was about to explode! Just then, three female voices suddenly called out in unison from not far away. "Henry!" Immediately after, three beautiful women ran over. Henry was startled and took several steps back. Even though they were three beautiful and elegant women, he looked as if he had encountered a pack of wolves and tigers, his face full of reluctance. "Henry! I finally found you!" One of the women cried with tearful eyes, gazing at him affectionately. The other two also looked at him with eager excitement. "Henry! Didn't you say that I’m your favorite woman? Who are these two?" "I told you, Henry's favorite woman is me. You two don't have to delude yourselves here. Hurry up and leave!" The three women exploded into a heated argument, each claiming to be the woman Henry loved the most, causing a ruckus! Harriet looked on in confusion. Did t

    At the same time.Harriet was pulled by Delbert by the wrist and dragged all the way out of Holy Night. Inadvertently, he used some force, causing her to gasp in pain."Delbert, let me go quickly. It hurts!" But the man remained silent, just blindly moving forward.In the end, Harriet couldn't keep up with Delbert's long steps, and she lost one of her high heels along the way."Hey, my shoe fell off!" Harriet staggered, and Delbert quickly supported her. He paid no attention to the missing shoe, but directly pinned her against his luxury car.A strong sense of oppression suddenly struck Harriet."Harriet, have you forgotten what I said?" Delbert looked straight ahead, speaking coldly."What do you mean?" Harriet looked puzzled."You are my woman. You’re not allowed to flirt with any other men!" When did he say that? And, she didn't flirt with anyone!Harriet pouted, looking depressed, "Delbert, I didn't flirt! I just praised how cool the magician looked when he flew

    After the overbearing Harriet finished with the innocent Delbert, she tried to break free. But the next moment, Harriet felt dizzy and suddenly found herself pressed against the hood of the luxury car by the man. Delbert's tall and straight body directly covered hers."You all, leave now!" Delbert breathed heavily, coldly urging them to leave.The five people were struck dumb.Delbert had already asked them to leave several times. If they continued to linger here, they might end up in trouble, so they had to leave the scene.Harriet was petite. Being enveloped and pressed against the hood of the luxury car by Delbert, she could be barely seen."Delbert, don’t you want to go home?" Harriet asked knowingly, her eyes full of cunning and mischief.She clearly wanted to run away after teasing Delbert.Lustful desire flickered in Delbert's eyes. Under the dim yellow streetlights, a halo of light fell hazily in circles, enveloping their bodies within it.Due to his tall build, Del

    Harriet and Delbert came to the hospital today to accompany Molly for a check-up. Unexpectedly, they ran into Nora."Nora, what are you doing in the hospital? Are you sick?" Harriet saw that Nora's complexion was very pale and her eyes were dodgy. When Harriet showed up, Nora seemed to be startled.Besides, Harriet remembered that Vernon drunkenly mentioned Nora's pregnancy at Holy Night last night. And today Nora came to the gynecology department. It seemed that she was really pregnant. But at this moment, she wasn’t accompanied by Vernon, so she must not dare to tell him about it."It’s none of your business!" Nora retorted directly. Feeling guilty, she argued without confidence."Nora, I’m just concerned about you. How can you talk to me like this?" Harriet nestled innocently in Delbert's arms, looking very aggrieved."Nora, mind your language! Talk politely to my woman!" Delbert, sided with Harriet, stared coldly at Nora.Nora shuddered with fear, feeling a chil

    Even though Vernon didn't know who had beaten him up last night at Holy Night and left him bruised and battered, he still limped out of the hospital to track Nora and Bessie. He had witnessed the entire transaction between Nora and the man just now, so he felt that things definitely weren't that simple. Nora must be hiding something from him!"What did that woman take from you just now? I'll pay double to buy it!" Vernon said coldly."No problem!" The henchman sneered and immediately opened his phone, showing Vernon the backup video sent to him by the man in black. "Hey, it’s definitely a bombshell. Take your time watching it!"...Meanwhile, at the café outside the hospital.Nora thought that the video matter was finally resolved and breathed a sigh of relief. But she wondered if the man in black would be furious and retaliate if he found out she had deceived him."Nora, the video matter is resolved. Now we need to think about our plan to deal with the man in black. Are you

The moans and groans that emanated from it made him wish he could strangle Nora to death. How could she be so despicable? She had been intimate with every man on the ship...After watching it, Vernon felt extremely disgusted. If this video were to be leaked and others found out about it, he, Vernon Morton, would become a laughingstock in the Meawood City! How could he marry s

    What did he just say? What video? Could it be... Nora's sharp eyes spotted the computer on the table. She immediately got up from the floor, trembling, and walked over to it. With trembling fingers, she opened it and saw the unbearable scenes inside. It was the video she thought she had already destroyed!"No!" Nora screamed, then collapsed, fiercely throwing the computer to the ground and stomping on it frantically. Why? Why did Vernon have the video? Hadn’t she destroyed it?"Nora, calm down. You're still pregnant!" Bessie hurriedly tried to restrain her, afraid that she might harm the baby. But Nora turned around and slapped her mother with bloodshot eyes."Tell me! Did you give him the video?" Nora had completely lost her sanity and just wanted an outlet for her rage. And Bessie, who had always doted on her, became her best punching bag."Nora, it’s impossible for mom to do that to you! It must be that the man in black kept a backup! He's retaliating against you for

    Harriet pouted and looked aggrieved, "Humph! Delbert, I think Cory just doesn't want me to cook in the kitchen. So, you won't be able to taste the lovingly prepared lunch boxes made by me in the future. That's your loss!"Her coquettish tone and the way she leaned on his neck with delicate arms made Delbert feel as if he had been electrified. Indeed, he could never resist Harriet's teasing."Cory, you're overstepping your boundaries!" Delbert coldly glared at Cory.Cory had no choice but to explain to Harriet with a respectful expression, "Miss Harriet, I didn't mean it that way. Whenever you want to go to the kitchen for artistic creation, I won't stop you!""Humph! If you want me to go, I won't go!" Harriet retorted, but her pouting always worked well on Delbert.Delbert felt aroused all of a sudden. He frowned as he ordered, "You can all leave now!"After Cory and the servants left, Harriet suddenly saw a strikingly handsome face in front of her. She was slightly stunn

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.

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
