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
Chapter 190"What's your plan with Nora?" Lula asked after some thought."Once she's recovered, I'll divorce her," Vernon declared, gritting his teeth at the mention of Nora.That despicable woman had deceived him, and he would not let her off the hook."Good!" Lula nodded.Unbeknownst to Vernon, a sly smirk appeared on her face, revealing her calculating nature.The following morning, news of Brad's scandal spread like wildfire, quickly hitting headlines.Brad was in the middle of a morning meeting when officials from the prosecutor's office suddenly stormed in."Mr. Morton, you stand accused of embezzling company funds and tax evasion. We require your cooperation in our investigation."The officials presented Brad with the arrest warrant, leaving him stunned."When did I ever embezzle company funds or evade taxes? You need evidence to make such accusations," Brad said.With all the directors present, he couldn't possibly admit to something he hadn't done."We have substan
Chapter 191Brad hoped they could oppose Vernon taking over the company, giving him a chance for a comeback.As soon as Brad left, his followers immediately voiced their objections."I disagree with Vernon taking over the company. He has never been adept at managing companies. During this period, he has caused us significant losses. If any issues arise, it's not something any of us can bear," said one of them."I also disagree. Today's events are bound to cause considerable panic. Is he capable of handling it?" echoed another.The people on Brad's side all refused to let Vernon, an illegitimate son, take the reins.Narrowing her eyes, Lula walked behind Vernon and said, "Since Mr. Brad Morton has to undergo an investigation and cannot temporarily handle the company's affairs, it's only natural for his brother to take over the company. The Becker family will fully support the Morton family and try to compensate for your losses."She had to support Vernon wholeheartedly to win in
Chapter 192Harriet was about to head upstairs to rest when her phone rang.Upon hearing the news, she asked Joe if a hacker organization could be behind this and urged him to investigate. Joe had a friend who was the head of an international hacker organization, so the investigation shouldn't be too difficult.By noon, Delbert still hadn't returned, and Harriet was anxiously awaiting Joe's call.Fortunately, it wasn't long before he called back."Miss Harriet, I've discovered that the breach into King's system wasn't the work of a hacker organization, but rather a hacker known as 'Summer'," Joe reported."Three years ago, he infiltrated the system of the hacker organization where Q was based. At that time, Q had a face-off with him. This hacker is incredibly skilled; even Q barely managed to fend him off and protect their core data.""Is it possible for Q to step in and help intercept this hacker's intrusion?" Harriet asked urgently. "My contact mentioned that although we c
