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’

    "Come on, why are you getting jealous of your cousin and his wife? Look at you, you're a grown-up, but you're still acting like a child.""Grandfather, don't undermine me in front of so many people!"...After the birthday banquet, it was already dusk. The setting sun cast a fiery red glow across the horizon.Delbert was ready to take Harriet to have a tour around the Carlson family’s old mansion.Last time they were in a hurry to leave after the family banquet, and he hadn't properly shown Harriet around.But just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Mr. Carlson Sr."Harriet, come to my study. I have something to tell you.""Delbert, I need to see grandfather," Harriet said with a smile, looking at Delbert.After giving a nod, Delbert watched as Harriet walked away.Seeing that scene, Kenny, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but sneer."Kenny, if you're free, why don't we take a walk together?" Delbert called out as Kenny was about to go upstairs t

    Chapter 171Delbert bore no ill will towards Kenny. He was aware of the identity of the person who wanted him dead, and his words to Kenny were merely a warning.They were both pawns in Milton's game."What? How is that possible? How can my father possibly hire a foreign mafia to kill you? That's absurd. Are you trying to trick me, Delbert?" Kenny said."I have no reason to trick you. Reflect on it yourself." Delbert said.With that, Delbert left the conversation, heading directly to the second-floor study where Milton had just been with Harriet.Milton sat in his chair, studying the girl before him.Harriet was as beautiful as a clear blue sky, radiating a pure and refreshing aura.In the quiet moment, she bore a striking resemblance to the genius doctor, Miriam, who had once saved his life.It was a shame that Miriam had a daughter who was perceived as a fool.Feeling uncomfortable under Milton's intense gaze, Harriet asked innocently, "Milton, did you want to discuss somet

    Chapter 172Harriet appeared to ponder for a moment before naively saying, "Milton wanted to give me 5% of the Carlson Group's shares, but I declined.""Is that all?" Delbert's eyes flickered.'Didn't Milton mention anything else?' He wondered."Yes." Harriet nodded emphatically.Delbert seemed to relax, and he pulled her into a tight embrace.She looked up, dazed by his affectionate gaze.He gently lifted her and positioned her on his lap.Then, Harriet heard Delbert whisper in her ear, "If you want those shares, they're yours. You don't need to worry about my feelings."He didn't want her to make sacrifices for his sake.And through that, he could tell that Milton was testing both Harriet and himself.Although Milton was grooming Delbert for power, he was wary of the influence of Shawn's family and Delbert as well."Delbert, I don't want those shares. I only want you," Harriet said firmly."I only want you too," Delbert said, suddenly smiling.He lifted Harriet and gent

    Chapter 173"I will never forgive those who have wronged me," Nora declared, tears trickling down her cheek.Her fingers clenched the blanket so tightly that her knuckles turned white and the veins on her arms bulged."Nora, don't fret. Once you're discharged, I'll make sure those who hurt you pay for their actions. And Harriet won't get away with it either," Bessie reassured Nora, tucking her in before leaving for home.The room fell back into an unsettling silence.Nora was about to rest when she heard hurried footsteps outside her ward.A figure in black burst into the room. Startled by the noise, Nora forced her injured eyes open and struggled to sit up."Who's there?" she demanded.Suddenly, a bucket of dirty water drenched her, making her gasp from the cold."Ah! Who dares to douse me? Are you courting death?" She cursed, clueless about the intruder's identity due to the darkness.A forceful slap landed on her face, reopening her freshly stitched wound and causing blood

    Chapter 174The man in black narrowed his eyes menacingly."Is Harriet truly a fool?" he questioned."Absolutely not! I'm convinced she's been feigning ignorance all this time," Nora responded, her teeth clenched in frustration.She had been utterly deceived by Harriet, whom she had believed to be a simpleton.The man in black scrutinized Nora's face, finding no signs of deceit. He chose to trust her words. His master had given clear instructions. If they discovered that Harriet was not a fool, they were to eliminate her immediately.Since they couldn't approach Delbert directly, they had to rely on Nora to deal with Harriet.The man in black scoffed, "Alright, we'll give you another chance. Since Delbert has been aiding Harriet, why don't you devise a plan to ensure he can't assist her anymore? Then, when the opportunity presents itself, eliminate Harriet."His voice grew colder as he spoke, carrying an unmistakable threat. "You'll need assistance this time. You can contact

    Chapter 175"Delbert, I've been waiting for you," Harriet said, her eyes heavy with sleep.She was a light sleeper and had noticed when Delbert left the room.She knew he must have gone to see Milton, but she was puzzled by the troubled look on his face when he returned.Delbert couldn't help but chuckle. "Would you like to sleep when I return?"Caught off guard by his intense gaze, Harriet quickly lowered her eyes, her heart fluttering. "Delbert, I've prepared your bath."As he hadn't mentioned his visit to Milton, Harriet didn't dare to ask.She was about to leave him in the bathroom when he suddenly grasped her hand."Stay, okay?" Delbert said.His voice was low and enticing, stirring something within Harriet.She blushed at his words.They hadn't been so intimate on the island."No, I want to watch TV." Harriet quickly refused.But he persisted, mimicking her coyness. "Don't you love me anymore? Can't you grant me this small request?"He loosened his grip on her hand.

    Chapter 176With the plan in mind, Nora swiftly called the man in black."Before handling Harriet, find me medicine in Agral City. It's colorless, tasteless, and can make even the most virtuous woman willingly seek pleasure," she said."Okay! I'll dispatch someone immediately. Just deal with Harriet quickly," responded the man in black icily.He was about to end the call when Nora added, "I also need a remedy for my face. There's a potion developed by an unknown physician in Meawood City that regenerates cells—the Z-type potion.""Not part of the plan against Harriet, is it?" questioned the man in black.Nora had her reply ready. "If my face doesn't improve, how can I draw Harriet out?"The man in black hummed in consent and hung up the phone.The ward fell back into silence, as if nothing had transpired.However, the fear previously etched on Nora's face had vanished. Now her eyes were filled with hatred, glinting with coldness.With the medicine she had, Nora was confident

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.

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.

"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

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.
