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
Chapter 222In the VIP room at the top of Holy Night, after a week apart, Harriet finally saw Molly again. Although Molly had been discharged from the hospital, her face was still pale.Molly had already learned from Selena that Harriet was the one who cured her disease. She looked around before raising her glass of water, toasting Harriet from afar.After finishing it, she revealed a faint smile, and everything was conveyed in silence.She understood Harriet, and Harriet also understood her.Harriet didn't want too many people to know about this matter, so she chose not to say anything. Although they had only known each other for a short two months, it seemed as if they had been friends for a lifetime.With Yuri around, the atmosphere in the VIP room was lively.Harriet drank a bit too much and stumbled toward the restroom."Do you need me to accompany you?" Delbert asked gently.Harriet shook her head and left while unsteadily walking.Concerned, Delbert wanted to follo
Chapter 223He stood up straight and walked slowly toward Harriet.When he stood in front of her, he narrowed his eyes to scrutinize her.Yvonne had grown up, becoming more beautiful, to the point where her brother almost didn't recognize her."Henry?" Harriet murmured the name and finally remembered it. "Henry Bass? Do you know him?"'Does this man know the magician who called her Yvonne?'What is their relationship?' She wondered."Well, we are siblings, and you are our little sister," replied the man with an indulgent look.Harriet was almost convinced that he was really her brother.But she knew that she was not Yvonne, who just happened to look like her. That was why Delbert and Henry had both mistaken her for Yvonne."I'm sorry, but Mr. Bass and you have made a mistake. I'm Harriet, not Yvonne," Harriet said, taking a few steps back."Silly girl, how could I mistake someone else for my sister?" said the man gently.But he further narrowed his eyes.It looked like Hen
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
