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

    At least Harriet loved him wholeheartedly, unlike Nora, who had sex with other men and then wanted him to take responsibility! What a malicious woman Nora was! Vernon regretted it so much! Now he had nothing, and he had lost the identity of the second son of the Morton family. He was even forced to marry Nora. His whole life was ruined!If he saw Nora, or even heard her name mentioned again, he would feel nauseous and wanted to vomit. After downing drink after drink, he still didn't want to stop. He just wanted to get completely drunk.Suddenly, a pair of delicate hands slowly caressed his shoulder.

In a daze, Vernon seemed to see Harriet, who used to follow him everywhere.Back then, although she was silly, she was wholehearted in her devotion to him. No matter what he wanted, she would foolishly find a way to get it for him. It turned out... she always had a place in hi

    Vernon directly shook off Nora's hand. "How dare you accuse others of shamelessness? I don't think any woman in the world is as shameless as you, Nora!" His eyes were fierce and cold, filled with anger. In the past, he would never dare to treat Nora like this. But after watching that video, he just wanted to trample Nora's disgusting pride under his feet. "Vernon, you’re my husband. Lula is my best friend! But the two of you conspired to betray me!" In fury, with bloodshot eyes, Nora began to throw and smash things around the room.She seemed to go crazy.It was impossible for her to bear this bitter betrayal.How could the man who used to be so submissive and obedient to her treat her like this now? "Nora, p-please don't be mad. I don't know what happened either. Both of us were drunk last night..." Lula cried and looked very pitiful. "Shut up!" Nora glared fiercely at her, scaring Lula, who quickly shrank back behind Vernon. Vernon immediately shielded her. "I

    The well-tailored aqua blue evening gown perfectly accentuated Harriet's curves, and the diamond-studded hem of the skirt shone brightly, complementing the fair and slender legs beneath the skirt."You look gorgeous today," Delbert smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness.Harriet pouted, "So, does it mean that I wasn't beautiful before?"Delbert ruffled her hair, his expression even tenderer, "Of course not. You’re beautiful every day.""That's more like it!" Harriet tilted her chin proudly, like an unparalleled queen."Cory has been waiting outside for a long time. Let's go!" Delbert slightly shook his head with a smile and took Harriet's hand as they left the mansion.On the beach outside the mansion, Cory was standing respectfully in front of Delbert's luxury car, while Opal was helping to load the luggage into the trunk. After Harriet and Delbert got into the car, Cory started the engine, and the car slowly left the island. In a while, they arrived at the Carlson f

    Before entering the hall, Delbert had already noticed that the families of his two brothers were all present except for Kenny."I don’t want to talk about that brat!" Mr. Carlson Sr. became angry at the mention of Kenny."I'm here, grandfather. Please don’t be mad at me!" A low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and it was none other than Kenny. He strolled leisurely into the room from outside, his cold and fierce gaze passing over Delbert before quickly shifting away after pausing on Harriet.Looking at Delbert, he sneered mockingly, "I didn't expect you and sister-in-law to attend grandfather's 80th birthday celebration. I haven't seen you for half a month. I thought you would never come out of your island retreat."Delbert's expression darkened. "As the eldest grandson, I naturally should attend grandfather's 80th birthday celebration. The shareholders' meeting to appoint the next head of the Carlson Group is convening in half a month. By then, I’ll leave the island. You don’
