Chapter 237Delbert came out of his memories and smiled.But then he thought of something, and his smile turned cold.That was not the end of the story.Afterward, Harriet disappeared, and she was nowhere to be found.She left without even saying goodbye, just vanishing from his life.From then on, Delbert's life returned to its original state.On the first day without her, he stood outside her house, steadfastly waiting, refusing to leave no matter who tried to persuade him.Even when his mother beat him with a stick, leaving him covered in bruises, he still insisted on staying.He wanted to wait for Harriet and his light to return.He waited until it rained heavily for three days and nights, causing him to develop a high fever. It was then that he gave up on the hopeless waiting.After recovering from his illness, he ate candy for several days, taking two pieces each day, one for himself and one for her.But Harriet still didn't come back.Gradually, Delbert began to acc
Chapter 238To protect Harriet and to have her for himself, Delbert disregarded Harriet's wishes and went to ask Milton to let him marry Harriet.It was also the beginning of their mutual hardships and struggles from their past lives.But no matter how much Harriet disliked him or resisted him, he wanted to keep her by his side.Now that he had found her, he would protect and take care of her for the rest of his life.Even if he were to die, he would never allow her to leave him.Because he was afraid that she would fear him, Delbert had been secretly undergoing psychological therapy.He had been taking medication to suppress his violent emotions.He was still doing so in this life.But now, as he found Harriet injured, the medication could no longer suppress his rage.He wanted to lock her up and keep her by his side forever.That way, she wouldn't get hurt again. She wouldn't be harmed by those despicable people and would leave him again."Yvonne, if I lose you, I will di
Chapter 239Harriet tremblingly opened the letter, and the words written on it pulled her back into her memories.[Yvonne.]The strange nickname at the beginning left Harriet stunned.'Why would my mother call me Yvonne?' She wondered.[Yvonne, by the time you receive this letter, I believe you have grown up, and you should also realize that I didn't die.[Come to the Bass family, and you'll see me!]Harriet was shocked.'My mom didn't die? That's great!' She thought.So, everything Justin said was true. Miriam was really the daughter of the Bass family.'But how is that possible?' Harriet found it hard to believe.Ms. Bass was still lying in a coma in the hospital, and her daughter, Sadie Bass, had been recognized by the Bass family.Who was she, then?Was she Harriet or Yvonne?If Miriam didn't die, why didn't she come to find her all these years?Harriet's mind was filled with questions.She seemed to have lost a very important memory.Harriet continued to read the
Chapter 240Harriet remembered that when she was little, her mother took her away from Meawood City and left Clifton.But she couldn't remember where her mother took her specifically.She just vaguely remembered that she had a great aptitude for medicine since she was little.She had almost memorized all the lost acupuncture techniques and medical treatments.Usually, a surgeon would practice for at least two to three years before performing surgery on a patient, but Harriet had already mastered the skillful needle techniques at the age of four or five. Her exceptional talent was likely inherited from the mysterious family behind Miriam.'Is it really the Bass family in Imperium?' She wondered.It seemed that she had to go to Imperium to solve all these mysteries.The medical book consisted of only a few pages, but it was enough to evoke her memories of medicine.However, there seemed to be a strange force suppressing her in her body. Whenever she reached the most critical p
Then, Delbert fiercely branded his emblem upon her collarbone!"Harriet, you are mine. You belong to me!""Ah, it hurts!"Harriet moaned in pain from his bite, her nose turning red, her eyes welling up with tears, looking pitiful."..."Hearing her cry of pain, Delbert held his breath for a moment. Although he still couldn’t control himself, the sound of Harriet crying out in pain made him subconsciously ease his bite.The pain on her collarbone was sharp, bringing Harriet back to her senses.Delbert's obsession this time was crazier and more intense than ever before, almost overpoweringly sweeping over her, threatening to consume her entirely, which was very alarming.Fearing for him, Harriet remembered what she had read in a medical book and reflexively pressed his temples!She thought that would calm him down temporarily, but what she didn't expect was that Delbert, who had been toughened by the cruel training of Milton since childhood, had long turned self-protection int
Due to Harriet's declaration, "I only love Delbert in this lifetime," at that moment, Delbert felt that he would give his life for her, and it would be worth it.He could no longer control his obsession, and suddenly leaned down to lightly bite Harriet's earlobe."Harriet, you're doomed. You can't escape anymore. Even if you want to, I'll lock you up!"Whether you hate me or dislike me, in this lifetime, you can only stay by my side!"Delbert carried Harriet in his arms and left the warehouse for the underground garage where his car was parked. However, he remained with a gloomy expression throughout the journey, his beautiful eyes trembling slightly, lost in thought.Fearing that she would provoke his emotions and cause him to do something impulsive, Harriet dared not say anything further and could only allow him to hold her tightly.Cory had long been waiting in the driver's seat of the car. Delbert forcibly brought Harriet into the carriage. During this time, he never let
Her cheek touched Delbert's icy and thin lips, causing Harriet to shudder. She tried to struggle, but Delbert grabbed her arms and stared at her with a gloomy expression for a while. Then, he lowered his head and bit her rosy lips hard.This kiss was more intense and fiery than any before, almost consuming Harriet entirely."Ah!" Harriet's eyes widened suddenly.The next second, even though her hands were tightly restrained by the man, she desperately pushed against Delbert's strong body.But Harriet's resistance only seemed to further enrage Delbert.So, Delbert directly grabbed her hands and pressed her against the seat. He then firmly held the back of her head and kissed her even more deeply.In the midst of the entwined lips and teeth, Harriet felt both shy and angry. She had already confessed her true feelings, so why didn't Delbert believe her? Why was he treating her this way?Harriet had her pride. She wasn’t a tool for desire!Unfortunately, she was too weak to r
Delbert glanced at the still bleeding wound on her body, forcibly suppressing the desire in his heart."You're injured like this, and you still want me to let you go. Do you think that's possible?""I..." Harriet was at a loss for words.Seeing that she curled up in the corner and looked pitiful, Delbert melted. He no longer forced her but turned to look out the window, speaking in a softer tone."Be good, go home. I've called a doctor to treat your wounds.""But... I still need to save Justin!"Thinking of Justin, Harriet became extremely worried. He was shot because of her, but she didn't know how he was right now."Miss Harriet, is it the man you met at the café? He was rescued by the man who dressed like a magician we met at Holy Night that day," Cory said under Delbert's gaze.Harriet knew that the man was Henry. Justin had said that Henry was his brother, so she was relieved to know that Justin was safe. The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly quieted down. Alth
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
