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 194Step by step, Harriet approached Delbert.Gazing at his resolute, handsome face through her veil, she felt her heart racing.In her past life's wedding, she'd been manipulated by Nora and Vernon into wrecking chaos, but now she had conquered them and stood ready to become Delbert's wife.Onstage, the emcee solemnly recited the wedding vows.Harriet gripped Delbert's hand tightly and declared, "I do."She was willing to be with Delbert through life resolved to be his woman.At the end of the ceremony, they exchanged their rings. Harriet's cheeks beneath the veil burned.The emcee smiled and said, "You may kiss your bride now."A subtle smile graced Delbert's lips as he lifted the veil, revealing Harriet's exquisite face.Today, she was finally going to become his bride.He had been waiting for this day for a long time.Delbert's gaze was too intense, making Harriet's heart thump like a drum.If it weren't for still having to pretend to be foolish in front of eve
Chapter 195'Damn it!' Monica cursed inwardly.She was determined to thoroughly embarrass Harriet that evening and reveal her true colors to Delbert.After the wedding, everyone moved upstairs to the grand banquet hall.Now that Delbert had officially inherited the Carlson Group, he was poised to take the reins.From then on, he would be the sole commercial emperor of Meawood City, attracting many people at the party to greet and flatter him.In the end, Harriet was left alone.She didn't enjoy these kinds of occasions anyway. After toasting the elders, she retreated to the nearby terrace for some fresh air and to sober up.However, just as she was about to return to the hall, she sensed someone approaching from behind. She turned around, her gaze cold and piercing.It was Monica, elegantly holding a glass of champagne as she walked toward Harriet.Her demeanor was assertive and alluring. Seeing the elegant and noble Harriet before her, Monica couldn't help but feel a pang of
Chapter 196"A simpleton like you dare to challenge me? Today, I'll show you what reality is," Monica said.She lifted her hand and spilled the contents of her glass all over herself.Her white dress was stained with alcohol.With a crash, the glass shattered on the ground, and a scream pierced through the quiet atmosphere. 'Come on! Not again!' Harriet grumbled under her breath.Why did these women always resort to this tactic? Nora had done it, Lula had done it, and now even Monica was doing it.Since Monica had already planned for this, Harriet decided to play along.Her eyes glinted, and she raised her foot to kick Monica."Have fun!" she said.With a splash, Monica fell into a swimming pool nearby."Help! Help me!" Monica cried out as she flailed around in the water.She couldn't swim, but this was exactly what Harriet wanted.She quickly took off her high heels and jumped in after Monica. Grabbing her shoulder, Harriet pushed her underwater and made sure she swallow
Chapter 197"You're my bride today. You don't need to walk," Delbert said gently yet firmly, silencing Harriet's protests.Once back on the island, Delbert carried her to the second-floor bedroom and instructed Opal to prepare a bath.Harriet marveled at Delbert's strength after he set her down on the sofa.Despite carrying her all day, his arms seemed unaffected.After Opal readied the bathwater, Delbert asked for some ointment, concerned about Harriet's arm injury incurred while saving Monica."Go and take a hot bath in case you catch a cold," he urged, pushing her into the bathroom.After the bath, Harriet felt very refreshed.But she knew that Monica would cause her trouble again in the future.Preoccupied, she sighed and slipped when trying to get her pajamas.She fell to the floor and grunted in pain.Attracted by the noise, Delbert barged in through the door.But in the next instant, he froze in place and blushed, at a loss.Surprised to find Harriet unclothed, he w
Chapter 198"What would you like to eat? I'll have Opal prepare it," Delbert said matter-of-factly, taking her coquetry in stride.But Harriet's fingers traced his Adam's apple, her eyes teasingly alluring."I want to eat you. Will you let me?"Delbert stiffened, his breathing becoming heavy.His haze heated up, wandering down her lips to her neck."Harriet, do you understand what you're saying?" he said.Harriet pecked him on the lips, her eyes sparkling. "Of course, I do."Her hand continued its mischief, slipping into his shirt. She blinked, innocently asking, "Is that not allowed?"Their proximity intensified, their breaths mingling.Delbert struggled to contain his lust.Eventually, unable to resist, he grabbed Harriet's wrist and flipped her over, taking the initiative.But before he could act further, the door swung open.Opal entered, holding ointment. "Mr. Delbert, here is the ointment you asked for."What came into view was Delbert holding Harriet down.For a m
Chapter 199Next week was Nora's birthday. She vowed to host a grand and extravagant birthday party, inviting all the celebrities in Meawood City.At the party, Nora planned to tarnish Harriet's reputation, branding her as an infamous adulteress who had an affair after marriage.Then Delbert would divorce her and cease his protection.Harriet would be alone and helpless. By then, Nora could resort to all means to humiliate her.Nora also thought about hiring trolls to spread favorable topics for her, which would help her turn the tide.Neither would she spare Lula, the culprit who ruined her face.She already had a plan to expose the scandalous affairs between Lula and Vernon to Marc. Her enemies would all fall from grace.Unbeknownst to her, Clifton was planning to sell her to an elderly man.After Vernon successfully assumed leadership of the Morton Group, he didn't bring Nora back to the Morton family. Instead, he neglected her, spending his days indulging in pleasures at H
Chapter 200Kurt Russell gazed at Clifton and meaningfully smiled."I want to marry your daughter, Nora," he declared.Clifton's smile froze on his face. "But your wife...""My wife is gravely ill. The doctors say she doesn't have much time left. We don't have any children, so I want to remarry and secure heirs for my family. Your daughter is the perfect choice for me," Kurt explained nonchalantly.Clifton hadn't anticipated that Kurt's agreement to lend him money was tied to this condition.Kurt was old enough to be Nora's father, yet he harbored such desires."But Nora is already married to Vernon," Clifton managed to say."She can get a divorce. I don't mind it," Kurt said indifferently. "We're both remarried, so we're a good match. Besides, aren't there rumors online about problems in Nora and Vernon's relationship? You should seize this opportunity to have her divorce him.""But..." Clifton was torn.Kurt continued to persuade him. "Think about it. In all of Meawood City
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
