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
Chapter 227In the end, her gaze settled on the opposite side of the street, where there was an elegant café.Justin, still dressed in black, propped his head up and gazed out the window, occasionally taking a sip of coffee. His temperament was noble.Harriet had caught Justin's attention, and after meeting her curious gaze, he smiled gently.Harriet was anxious to learn the truth about her mother's real identity, so she walked straight into the café and sat down in front of Justin without any small talk.She asked directly, "Mr. Bass, can you tell me my mother?"Her voice betrayed her palpable anxiety.Justin unhurriedly sipped his coffee and started, "Your mother, Miriam, was from one of the four major families in Imperium. And you're the heir to the Bass Group.""Hold on!" Harriet interrupted him, confused.With a frown, she continued, "Mr. Bass, I really want to know about my mother. Can you please stop joking around?"How was that possible?Although she didn't know much
Chapter 228"What are you looking at? Why did you suddenly stop?" Trevor complained.Monica ignored him, eager to tell Delbert about this matter.After sending the photo to Delbert, she immediately dialed his number.In the coffee shop, Justin restrained his lazy expression, put down his coffee cup, and looked at Harriet seriously."I have no reason to lie to you. Have you forgotten everything? I'm your brother, and we grew up together in Agral City!" he said."I'm sorry, but I've always grown up in Meawood City and have never been to Agral City," Harriet said, beginning to sway.Indeed, Justin had no reason to lie to her about these things.Harriet looked at Justin and blurted out, "Your family name is also Bass, so what's the relationship between you, Henry, and my mother? And why do you all call me Yvonne?""Because you are our little sister!" Justin wanted to say more.Suddenly, he noticed something and shouted, "Watch out!"Countless bullets shot toward the coffee shop.
