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.

    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

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

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.

She tightly held him while dodging the bullets.Her maneuvering was skillful.Justin had to admit that Harriet, whom they once protected, had grown up and no longer needed their protection.But they never expected that these black-clothed people would make another move.On the fifth floor of a building diagonally across from the café, a killer was hiding with a sniper rifle aimed in the direction of Harriet.A woman's instructions came through his earpiece.He nodded and answered in a cold voice, "Understood, Miss! I will make sure Harriet doesn't make it to Imperium!"After turning off his earpiece, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet darted toward Harriet.Justin, who had once been a mercenary, heard the sound. He narrowed his eyes and looked over.In an instant, he spotted the sniper on

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?
