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
Chapter 214It turned out that Delbert had worried about Harriet for nothing.Then again, everything was fine, as long as Harriet was safe.Delbert wrapped his arm around Harriet's waist and comforted her softly. "Don't be upset. I'm here with you."His gaze darted toward Clifton as he said, "Clifton, you owe me an explanation for today's event.""Mr. Delbert, I apologize on behalf of Nora. She's such a disgrace to my family," Clifton said, daunted by Delbert's gaze.If this matter were to be known, not only would Kurt's promised funds be gone, but the businessmen of Meawood City would also not dare to lend him money.The Munoz Group was probably going to be ruined by Bessie and Nora.Clifton blamed them for everything.Delbert's words also reminded everyone present.They started whispering again, pointing fingers at Clifton, Bessie, and the unhinged Nora."Bessie said that Mrs. Delbert was in trouble, but it turns out she just went to the bathroom. And her daughter, Nora, i
