Chapter 205

Bessie told Nora everything she had overheard about Clifton's plan. After considering a strategy, Nora quickly prepared herself.

Once Bessie left, Nora's sinister smile spread across her face.

Now, they were just waiting for Harriet to appear.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.

Following the sound, Nora looked over and widened her eyes.

The noisy crowd immediately fell silent, holding their breath as they looked at two people prancing into the banquet hall.

Under the faint orange light, a young couple dressed in formal attire entered.

They exuded an inherent sense of nobility. Delbert wore a simple and elegant dark suit, with shiny eyes and sculpted features. He exuded a royal aura.

The woman standing beside him was even more stunning.

Harriet, wearing a black princess dress, looked elegant.

The delicate collarbone was exposed under the light, captivating everyone's gaze.

Her curly hair was casually let down. Her temperament was gentle, com

    Chapter 206Just then, a male voice sounded out of place."Harriet," Vernon called out from not far away.He slowly approached Harriet, completely ignoring Delbert's presence.He was now the head of the Morton family and had no reason to be afraid of Delbert anymore.With a gentle smile on his face, he acted as if he and Harriet were close. The guests looked at them curiously.When Vernon walked up to Harriet, he pretended to be surprised and glanced at Delbert."Mr. Delbert, you're here too. You know, I used to accompany Harriet to Nora's birthday parties," he said.Then he shifted the topic and deliberately mentioned Harriet's dress. "This dress looks quite expensive. Did Mr. Delbert buy it for you?"Mr. Delbert is rich and influential. It's no wonder your parents wanted you to marry him, and you did."But even so, I am still your Vernon. You can tell me if you need anything."Harriet couldn't help but roll her eyes.'Since when did Vernon learn to speak like Nora?' She t

    Chapter 207Vernon was scared stiff, unable to utter a word."Ignore him, and let's go!" Harriet urged, unwilling to argue with Vernon.She held onto Delbert's arm and walked away.Vernon gritted his teeth and watched them leave with a vicious look.'Harriet, this isn't over!" He thought.Because of Delbert's arrival, the banquet reached its climax.Many young ladies in Meawood City who admired Delbert gathered around him, intentionally squeezing out Harriet, the rightful wife, who was in their way.Harriet wasn't upset. She stood not far away, quietly watching Delbert in the crowd.When she saw him being questioned by those women, she found his frustrated expression amusing.Although she admitted that Delbert was indeed handsome, rich, and smart, it didn't mean that every woman would flock to him.In an inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall, Nora found that Harriet was finally alone.She winked at an attendant next to her and whispered, "Do it as I told you, putting thi

    Chapter 208The attendant felt uneasy as Harriet stared at him and stammered, "Miss, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"Harriet hid her thoughts and grinned. "Nothing, thank you for the drink!"Since Nora wanted to drug her, she would play along.Harriet discreetly neutralized the drugs in the glass with a silver needle. Then she raised the glass and took a sip.Soon after, she pretended to be weak and dizzy, swaying as if about to collapse.Delbert was surrounded by numerous socialites and couldn't see what was happening with Harriet.However, Harriet's earlier behavior of distancing herself from Vernon reassured him that she wouldn't go behind his back to find Vernon.Cory, who was instructed by Delbert to protect Harriet, had his attention diverted by a mysterious figure in black and immediately followed him out.As all obstacles had disappeared and Harriet unknowingly drank the drugged wine, Nora grinned triumphantly.She exchanged a glance wi

    Chapter 209In an instant, Harriet understood everything.Nora wanted to frame her along with Vernon and Lula.She glanced at the three people lying on the bed and smirked.'Has Nora drugged me to set me up with Vernon? She is as ruthless as ever!' She thought.Unfortunately, Harriet wouldn't get to enjoy this treatment. Instead, she would return it to Nora.Coincidentally, all three of her enemies were gathered here.It was the perfect opportunity to deal with them once and for all.With a sneer, Harriet stripped off the attendant's clothes and left the room.In the hall downstairs, Nora went to find Bessie, instructing her to contact all the reporters in Meawood City after deceiving Clifton into bringing Kurt over, telling them that there was a big news story for them to cover.After Bessie left, Nora smirked and looked at Delbert, who was still surrounded by several socialites, completely unaware of Harriet's disappearance. A smug expression filled her face.This day had

    Chapter 210After putting her hat back on, Harriet smiled.The effects of the medicine began to take effect. Nora's vision gradually became blurry. Heat began to rise in her, and her mind started to be clouded.She desperately wished for a cold body to hold her and relieve the heat inside her.And then her last trace of consciousness was swallowed by desire. In a daze, she walked upstairs to the hotel room with Harriet's help.Because Harriet disguised herself well and there were many people at the banquet, no one noticed the episode.Upstairs, Cory had been waiting for a long time."Have you taken care of the things I asked you to do?" Harriet asked coolly.Just now, after she came out of that room, she happened to run into Cory, who was brought here by that mysterious person.And they ran into Clifton, who was leading a fat man up the stairs toward the room where Vernon and Lula were.All the guests were in the hall downstairs, and there was almost no one here on the second

    Chapter 211It was wonderful that he was about to hold Nora in his arms.After hanging up the phone, Clifton cursed Kurt disdainfully, but when he thought that the free funds would soon be in his hands, he gave a sinister smile.There was not a hint of concern on his face for what Nora was about to experience. There was only endless greed.After throwing Nora, who had completely lost her sanity, into Kurt's room, Harriet indifferently glanced at the closed door....Bessie thought that it was about time. Harriet must have been drugged by now and was probably together with Kurt and Vernon.She laughed wickedly, and the wrinkles on her old face creased even more.Once Delbert saw this scene, he would kick Harriet out of his house. By then, Harriet would be at their mercy.Bessie couldn't wait any longer and shouted, "Something's wrong! Mrs. Carlson is in trouble. Everyone comes and sees!"With this sharp female voice echoing on the second floor, everyone turned their heads to l

    Chapter 212"Clear the scene!" Delbert ordered the bodyguards, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control.He quickly went upstairs, bound to crush everything in the world that was irrelevant.It was the first time he had lost control like this.It felt like a momentary difference could make him regret it for a lifetime.But because Nora and Bessie had already planned, the bodyguards were unable to stop the reporters in time or the people on the first floor from watching the show. They even arrived on the second floor before Delbert did.Delbert rushed to the second floor like a madman, only to see a group of people gathering at the door of a room. But everyone had a vacant look in their eyes, and it was eerily silent.Delbert's heart sank even further. With the bodyguards clearing the way, he quickly walked over.But then he was relieved.'Thank goodness! It isn't Harriet!' He thought.He gave a cold glance at Bessie, who was sitting on the ground. His eyes gl

    Chapter 213Bessie ended up shooting herself in the foot.Kurt reacted to the flashing camera lights, but he was already scared stiff.Although his wife was seriously ill and about to die, her family was wealthy and influential. He was just a live-in son-in-law. If this scene was captured by the reporters and posted online, he would lose everything.He panicked and stood up, trying to shift the blame."It was this woman who pursued me!" he said.Seeing that he was about to leave, Nora, under the influence of the drugs, lost all rationality. Her mind was filled with pure desire.Almost the moment Kurt let go of her, she pounced on him, continuously shouting obscenities, "No! Don't leave me!"No matter how hard Kurt tried to avoid her, Nora persistently clung to him.Kurt was driven desperate. "Lady, please have mercy and let me go!"But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Nora's grasp. He had to signal to Clifton."How dare you do such a thing in broad day

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.

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

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.

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
