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 224"I drank too much and felt uncomfortable, so I went outside to get some fresh air," Harriet replied.After much thought, she decided not to tell Delbert about what had happened in the restroom earlier.Yuri noticed the situation and came over, throwing his arm around Delbert's shoulder and teasing him. "Don't make a fuss over it, Delbert. Harriet just went outside for a while."You were not so worried about me when I went outside.""Can you compare yourself to Harriet?" Delbert retorted, knocking his hand off."Do you want to?" he added, trying to intimidate Yuri.Yuri wimped out. "Come on! It was just a joke.""Oh?" Delbert raised an eyebrow, refusing to let it go. "You have the nerve to make jokes about Nora?""I'm sorry. Miss Ross, please save me!" Yuri said, turning to Selena for help.Harriet couldn't help but laugh, her face finally free of worries.The rest of them laughed at Yuri's retreat.The atmosphere in the room was harmonious.Late at night, the m
Chapter 225Delbert's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he hummed in response.Harriet's drowsiness completely dissipated.Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the tie on the hanger, so she immediately got out of bed, picked it up, and walked slowly to Delbert's side."Let me help you tie your tie!" she said, meeting Delbert's deep eyes.She tiptoed slightly, looped the tie around his neck, and attentively tied it for him.Delbert looked down at her and smiled contentedly.After finishing the job, Harriet took a few steps back, raised her head, and smiled at Delbert, who was tidying up his clothes."Have a good day! I'll wait for you at home," she said.Her words touched Delbert.It was good to have someone wait for him at home.That was something he didn't even dare to think about in his previous life.But it happened in this life.God hadn't abandoned him after all.Delbert suddenly didn't want to go to the company anymore. He just wanted to stay at home with Harriet.
Chapter 226'Maybe it's just a coincidence.' Harriet thought to herself, but she didn't dwell on it.She picked the fastest purple sports car in the garage and got in. Then she stepped on the gas pedal, and the car immediately sped away.After leaving the island, she headed straight to the address Justin gave her yesterday.In the street, Harriet rolled down the car window, and the wind whistled by.The pedestrians were amazed at the sight, wondering which rich lady was showing off her racing skills.The car sped up, and the wheels' friction with the road surface generated sparks. Two long white streaks were left behind as the car raced past.In a red sports car next to hers sat a spirited young man.He wore a pair of large sunglasses, with a proud smile on his face.Holding the steering wheel, he was also driving at a high speed.He had just returned from studying abroad today and was preparing to visit his sister, Monica.Trevor Carlson was enjoying the thrill of overtakin
