Chapter 182"I will cure her," Harriet declared, resolved to heal Molly."Miss Harriet, don't worry. King has been researching new potions recently. There's bound to be a new potion that can cure your friend," Joe tried to comfort Harriet.In reality, he knew better than anyone that, despite the numerous researchers at King, Harriet held all the core formulas.In other words, the thousands of King members worldwide couldn't hold a candle to Harriet.If even Harriet couldn't cure Molly, then Molly was truly beyond help."By the way, Nora has expressed interest in purchasing our Z-type potion, regardless of the price," Joe said, pouring her a glass of water. "What price should we quote?"Harriet took a sip from the glass before setting it back down. "I don't want her money.""Then what do you want?" Joe asked."I want a 20% stake in the Munoz Group," Harriet responded calmly.A 20% stake was neither too much nor too little. If Nora truly wanted to use the Z-type potion to heal
Chapter 183"Molly is so silly. Despite her condition, she reminded me of not telling Marc the truth, saying that she was afraid he would worry," said Selena."Aren't you doing the same for Yuri?" Harriet raised an eyebrow."Yes. I'm also silly." Selena shook her head and laughed bitterly.She had never told Yuri that she had liked him for a long time. But with his unruly and free-spirited nature, he would never like her and fulfill their engagement.She could only take advantage of him when he was drunk and sleep with him, using the child to bind him.But she didn't expect that even after doing all this, he still refused to marry her and kept postponing the wedding.Until now, she was already heartbroken.After chatting with Selena for a while, Harriet called Cory to pick her up and take her back to the island.Upon her return to the island, Harriet expected Delbert to be asleep. To her surprise, not only was he awake, but he was also preparing dinner for her.The sounds of
Chapter 184"What's wrong? Can you tell me?" Delbert asked softly, turning to face Harriet.Harriet shook her head. "I'm fine. I just want to hug you."She knew that as long as he was by her side, she could keep going."Silly girl!" Delbert affectionately scratched her nose, his face full of fondness. "No matter what happens, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side.""Okay!" Harriet responded....The next day, as dawn was breaking, Harriet rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. She looked at Delbert, who was still sound asleep beside her, and smiled. Leaning over, she gently blew in his ear."Delbert, rise and shine!" she said.Delbert slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his ticklish ear, looking somewhat helpless at the mischievous expression on Harriet's face.He raised his hand and pinched her cheek. "You little mischief-maker.""I'm not a mischief-maker. You are!" Harriet retorted, making a face at him.She then lifted the covers and hopped out of bed.After getting
Chapter 185Nora was on the verge of hitting the wall. Bessie, frightened, quickly embraced her, pleading through her tears, "Nora, don't do this. I will give you the shares."Eventually, under Nora's manipulation, Bessie agreed to transfer her 20% stake in the Munoz Group to Nora's name.Nora was ecstatic. Hidden behind her mask, her face was alight with excitement.With these shares, she could trade with the King organization for the Z-type potion to heal her face. Once her face was healed, she would exact revenge on Harriet, who had caused her so much suffering....On the island, just as they arrived at the hospital, Harriet's phone vibrated. She discreetly checked it and saw a message from Joe. It read that Nora had agreed to give them 20% of the Munoz Group's shares in exchange for the Z-type potion.Harriet smiled faintly, a cold light flickering in her eyes.She quickly replied to the message. [Agree to the exchange.]She turned off her phone and smirked, planning he
Chapter 186Delbert trailed behind at a leisurely pace. As he turned a corner, he spotted Harriet entering an elevator with a handsome man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.With just a glance, Delbert recognized the man as Joe, the agent of King, a newly established pharmaceutical organization in Meawood City.It seemed that they not only knew each other but were also quite close.Just then, another elevator arrived, and Delbert pressed the button.Upon reaching their floor and stepping out of the elevator, Delbert saw Harriet and Joe entering Molly's ward.Delbert's eyes narrowed, and he immediately went over.Unfortunately, the door to the ward had already been locked by Harriet.Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door.Startled, Harriet furrowed her brow.Delbert had already left, and the attending physician had been sent away by her.'So, who could it be? Could it be that Delbert has come back?' Harriet wondered.She exchanged a look with Joe, who had already taken out the
Chapter 187"Delbert, it's not necessary. Molly is still asleep and can't eat," Harriet responded."That's okay. Once it's cleaned, I'll peel it for you to eat," Delbert replied.Before Harriet could respond, Delbert immediately took the apple and walked toward the washroom.Delbert turned the doorknob and opened it, but Joe was not hiding there either.'Where did he go?' Delbert wondered, his eyes darkening.Soon, the apple was cleaned.Delbert walked out of the washroom with the apple and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to bring a knife."I remember there's a supermarket near the hospital. I'll go and buy a fruit knife," he said.Delbert placed the apple on the bedside table."Okay." Harriet nodded.Under Harriet's watchful gaze, Delbert walked out of the ward. It was only after the door closed that Harriet breathed a sigh of relief.She never thought Delbert would return.Or perhaps he had never left, and he was just waiting for an opportunity.'Is he startin
Chapter 188Aside from knowing that Joe was the boss of King, Delbert had very little information about him and couldn't find any other traces through investigation.Moreover, King's condition for restoring Nora's appearance was a 20% stake in the Munoz Group, and Harriet also wanted this 20% stake.In this world, there were no such coincidences. Delbert was certain that King wanted the 20% stake in the Munoz Group for Harriet.The more he thought about it, the tighter Delbert's fists clenched.After half an hour, Delbert saw on the monitor that Molly had slowly opened her eyes, and then he left the monitoring room."Great! Molly, you finally woke up." Harriet rushed over to hug her, overjoyed.Molly opened her blurry eyes, seemingly unaware of her surroundings. She stared blankly at the ceiling with no expression on her face.Harriet realized that something was wrong and quickly turned to ask Joe, "What's going on?"After examining Molly, Joe said, "Don't worry! This is a nor
Chapter 189In the dim room, Delbert navigated familiarly to the bed, gently placing Harriet on it."Delbert, I haven't freshened up yet," Harriet said, trying to push him away.But Delbert leaned in, silencing her with a forceful kiss.There was no tenderness, only overpowering possession that left Harriet breathless.As he slowly unbuttoned her blouse, his touch sent tremors through her body. "Delbert, please, let go," she protested, finally catching a breath.Delbert's behavior today was odd, as if he had been provoked by something.It was hard to pinpoint, but he seemed unlike his usual self."Do you love me?" Delbert suddenly asked, stopping his movements.Harriet was stunned and at a loss.Of course, she loved him. But did Delbert love her, or was it Yvonne he loved?"It feels like I can't live without you," Delbert murmured, startling Harriet.She widened her eyes, gripping the sheets tightly.'Could he truly mean he couldn't live without me? Is it me or Yvonne
