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
Chapter 215"Get down from here! Stop making a fool of yourself!" Vernon demanded.A red mark instantly appeared on Nora's face. Vernon thought that this slap would wake Nora up, but Nora's following actions shocked him.The others at the scene also gasped in shock.Because Nora had taken a highly potent drug, purchased by the black-clothed man, after Vernon slapped her, instead of returning to normal, she became disoriented and pounced on him, urgently tearing at his clothes. "It's hot! Give me more!" she said, feeling uncomfortable.Vernon glared at Nora, but words failed him.Irritated, he slapped Nora again and acted as if he would keep doing so until she woke up.Bessie couldn't bear to see her daughter being hit.She quickly stepped forward and shielded Nora."Vernon, how could you hit Nora? She is your wife!" she said."Not anymore. I want to divorce her now!" Vernon shouted hoarsely. The reporters' eyes lit up, and they kept snapping pictures with their cameras.
Chapter 216As soon as the police entered the room, they saw Nora clinging to Vernon and Kurt, who were covered in lipstick marks. They instantly understood the situation.The leading police officer showed his badge and frowned. "We received a report of illegal transactions taking place here! We will now arrest the suspects according to the law."Miss, please come with us!"With the clear evidence before them, Clifton and Vernon couldn't argue and could only watch as the police handcuffed Nora and prepared to take her away.Bessie completely lost control of her emotions."Don't arrest my daughter! She is innocent. She has been framed!" she cried out.She tried to stop the police, crying hysterically.She never dreamed that the scene that was supposed to happen to Harriet would end up happening to Nora.Everything was ruined now.Her wealth and prosperity, as well as her daughter's lifelong happiness, were all ruined.Irritated by her obstruction, the police used a stun baton
Chapter 217These shameless people were not worth her tears at all.Harriet looked at the empty hotel room, her eyes flickering.Everything had finally come to an end.'Mom, I have avenged you. Did you see it in heaven?' She thought."Harriet, we should go back now." Delbert's voice came from behind her."Delbert, don't you think tonight's events are satisfying?" Harriet laughed, putting her hand on his shoulder.Delbert shook his head and said in a heavy voice, "I don't feel satisfied. I feel sorry.""Why feel sorry? It's their own fault. They deserve the consequences they're facing! If my mom were in heaven, she would be as happy as me," Harriet said.Harriet laughed until she almost started crying."I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you got your hands dirty dealing with those shameless people!" Delbert explained.Harriet's laughter faded, and the mockery in her eyes was replaced by a layer of mist.Delbert really understood her."Delbert, let's go home," she said
Chapter 218As the long-standing ruler in a high position of power, Delbert had experienced countless power struggles within the Carlson family since he was little.He could easily guess what had happened that day.Nora wanted to frame Harriet, but in the end, Harriet turned the tables, and Bessie was her accomplice.Delbert narrowed his eyes, and the air around him turned oppressive.If Harriet hadn't escaped in time, the one being taken away by the police right now would probably be her.The people in the Munoz family were bold enough to scheme against Harriet.He would not spare them this time.Even though Harriet was standing before him unharmed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.Harriet acted swiftly. In just one night, she anonymously exposed all the shady things Nora had done on the internet.The news of Nora's arrest for illegal transactions and intentional murder caused a huge stir online.The comments were overwhelmingly one-sided, believing that
Chapter 219"Didn't you already know about my act of pretending to be foolish?" Harriet asked.Otherwise, why would he keep testing her?"I only found out about Nora's plan to scheme against me at the party, so I decided to turn the tables on her. It was not intentional to hide it from you!" To make Harriet believe her words, she added, "I'm telling the truth. You can ask Cory about it."She pointed to Cory and pleaded with Delbert, "I promise I won't do it again. Please forgive me, okay?"Delbert couldn't resist her sweet voice.After kissing her cheek, he leaned close to her ear and whispered seductively, "Did you predict that I would forgive you, you little troublemaker?"He paused and darted a look at Cory, saying, "As for you, come to the study!"Delbert walked away, heading straight to the study.Cory immediately followed.Harriet sighed, praying for Cory. "Wish you good luck! I can't even protect myself, let alone help you!As soon as Cory entered the study, he felt a
Chapter 220Images of him being taken to Agral City by his mother flashed across Delbert's mind. Back then, he was lonely and helpless. It was Harriet who had been there to comfort and guide him.She was the only ray of light in his dark life.Now it was his turn to protect her.But Delbert felt that what he was doing was not good enough. Just that day, he had almost let Harriet suffer from the harm of those shameless people again.His eyes shimmered with coldness.The next morning, Harriet woke up and turned to look at Delbert.He was lazily leaning against the head of the bed and reading the newspaper with interest."Delbert, what are you reading?" Harriet sat up and leaned against Delbert like a curious baby, looking at the newspaper.Her tone was habitually foolish.The newspaper was filled with news about the Munoz Group, almost dominating all the headlines.The central headline was about Nora and the married man Kurt engaging in inappropriate behavior at her birthday p
Chapter 221Harriet was deeply moved, but she shook her head."Thank you for your kind offer, but you underestimated me. I already have a 20% stake in the Munoz Group, and with the recent acquisition of some scattered shares, I am capable of taking over the company," she said.Delbert smiled, pleased that Harriet had finally grown up and learned how to protect herself."Hmm, you're so smart," he said as he planted a kiss on her forehead.He should have been the one to take care of all these things.Harriet had suffered so much over the years. Delbert held tightly onto Harriet, whom he had lost and found, and stroked her hair.His affectionate gaze was rarely seen, and his voice was hoarse."Don't worry. From now on, I will be there with you every step of the way!" he promised.Harriet looked up at him and put away her smile, adopting a serious attitude."It's a promise!" she said, stressing her tone.With that, she landed a soft kiss on his lips.Delbert solemnly repeated
