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
Chapter 193"Delbert, are you still working?" Harriet asked."Yes," Delbert responded, his work momentarily paused as he answered the phone."When will you be home? I miss you," Harriet said coyly.Delbert felt a surge of happiness. "I'm about to go back now. Wait for me at home."The rush hour had passed, so the traffic was light. It would take him about forty minutes to drive from Carlson Group back to the island."Okay! I'll wait for you," Harriet said.After ending the call, Harriet noticed that Q had won a battle.She quickly connected with Q to express her gratitude. "Q, I'm grateful for your help today."Q's voice was deep and raspy. It somehow made Harriet feel as if she had heard it somewhere before."No worries, Miss Munoz. The opponent must have been interrupted by something, so he stopped attacking the system. If he had continued, I might not have won. King has offended some powerful people this time," Q said.Q was the leader of an international hacker organizat
Chapter 783Delbert spoke like a spoiled child, and Harriet couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Delbert was acting strangely.After holding her for a while, Delbert led her to walk outside."Let's go!" he said eagerly.It made Harriet feel even more puzzled.Before long, they arrived at a nearby amusement park.After getting out of the car, Harriet noticed that the scenery at the amusement park was beautiful."The Ferris wheels!" Delbert smiled, leading her toward the Ferris wheel.Delbert bought two tickets, and they got on the Ferris wheel hand in hand.Throughout the ride, Delbert held Harriet's hand tightly, while his other hand secretly took out an engagement ring from his suit pocket.Harriet saw it and finally realized what was going on.It was a surprise that Delbert had prepared for her.Delbert went down on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Ms. Harriet Munoz, would you be willing to marry me?"His eyes shone eagerly. He was even more nervous than when Harriet marr
Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? 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. Those things eventually led to my psychological trauma, causing my depression. Do you understand now?"Marc looked at her pale face and felt a sting of guilt.It was his fault.He held Molly in
Chapter 781Molly intended to drape the blanket over Marc, but Marc woke up."You're awake. How are you feeling?" Marc said with concern, his eyes bloodshot.Molly shook her head. "I'm alright. 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. It's okay if you don
Chapter 780When Marc arrived at the hospital, the medical team was already waiting at the entrance.Marc quickly briefed them on Molly's condition. "My wife suddenly fainted. I'm not sure what's going on. Please help check on her." "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
Chapter 779Later, Delbert handed over the audio recordings of Sadie and Felipe's conspiracy, as well as the evidence of Sadie's attempt to embezzle assets from the Carlson Group, to the police.The police immediately began the trial of Sadie and Felipe. In the end, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.Excited about the news, Harriet led Delbert to see Miriam.Seeing her innocent look, Delbert wanted to embrace her and protect her forever.Miriam saw Harriet's happy face and asked, "What's going on? You look so happy.""I have some good news to tell you," Harriet replied.She let go of Delbert's hand and hugged Miriam. "Felipe and Sadie have been sentenced to eight years in prison. We won, and the Bass family is finally ours."Miriam took some time to overcome her shock. "Is it true?"She never thought they would win in the end.Harriet nodded vigorously, and Miriam confirmed the truth.She could finally return to the Bass family.She no longer cared about Fel
Chapter 778Levi raised his glass to congratulate them. "Yvonne, Delbert, I wish you happiness forever.""Me too," Arthur said.The others followed suit. Delbert had to drink with them one after another.They wanted to test Delbert's endurance and love for Harriet.Delbert kept drinking until his face was flushed red.When the meal was over, Andy and the others went back to rest.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the living room.Harriet used the tissue to wipe Delbert's face.Her gaze was filled with tenderness.Enchanted, Delbert grabbed her hand and put it on his chest."Harriet, I missed you so much," he said.His breath, mixed with the fragrance of wine, sprayed on Harriet's face.Then Delbert bent down to kiss her.They cuddled together, their eyes locked in a collision of longing.They kept holding each other, and Harriet bravely met his gaze.Delbert picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sound of rain drowned out many sounds, but it couldn't extingui
Chapter 777Soon, Delbert received a mail containing the documents.He skimmed them through and found that everything was fine at the company. Ben was quite a good manager.Delbert was satisfied with his performance.But Ben remained nervous, even though he could tell Delbert's good mood."You've done very well!" 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. Ben shivered and quickly added, "No need. I think it's good enough.""No, you will get a raise," Delbert smiled, having learned to scare people from Harriet.Subconsciously, he had been affected by Harriet.Ben was overjoyed, wondering if it was Harriet's credit.In the evening, Harriet sent a message to D
Chapter 776Delbert handed Saide over to the police and left without hesitation.Sadie bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The police officers took her away for interrogation.Sadie couldn't accept the fact that Delbert had no feelings for her at all.In the interrogation room, she licked her wounds and refused to talk.Her heart was broken, and her face was covered with tears.Delbert couldn't wait to see Harriet.Harriet was working. To avoid disturbing her work, he decided to meet her at the family banquet in the evening."I'm working right now. Can you come over tonight?" Harriet said.She was eager to see Delbert, holding and smelling him."Oh, you don't want to see me?" Delbert teased her."How could that be? But I'm working. With you around, I can't focus, so you have to wait for a while," Harriet said while reviewing the documents.After Felipe's arrest, a lot of things at the company required her attention. She was up to her neck."I can help you," Delber
Chapter 775Felipe was on tenterhooks when he received a message from his trusted aide."Miss Bass has disappeared in Meawood City. We couldn't find her," the man reported."Keep searching and find her at all costs," Felipe urgently said.He used all his connections and even hired private detectives, but there was still no news.It wasn't until Sadie returned to Imperium that Felipe got the information. To his surprise, Sadie had gone to Meawood City with Delbert.Although Delbert had lost his memory, Felipe couldn't feel reassured. He decided to temporarily leave Imperium and lay low for a while.He packed up his belongings and planned to escape abroad.Just as he was transferring his assets at home, the police suddenly came to his door."Hello, are you Mr. Felipe Bass?" they said.Felipe didn't expect the police to act so quickly. He said nervously, "Yes, may I help you?"But the following words from the police dashed his last hope. "Based on the video sent by Miss Harriet
