Delbert lunged from the driver's seat, bent down, and pressed his face against Harriet's red lips.He gently caressed them as if to confirm her existence. Ever since his rebirth, the usually calm and composed him, though he already had Harriet, couldn't help but feel insecure due to the events of their previous life. It made himself increasingly unlike the person he used to be.After making sure Harriet was still by his side, he was filled with joy and quickly pressed his cool thin lips against hers, gently and softly. Harriet had never felt such tenderness from him, so careful as if afraid of hurting or frightening her.It was only after a moment of affection that Delbert reluctantly let go of her, opened the door, and got out of the car, with Harriet following closely behind.As they walked into the villa's grand hall, the servants saw Harriet smiling and knew that they must have reconciled. They greeted her joyfully and respectfully until Delbert sent them a stern look.They
Harriet opened her misty eyes in confusion, only to see Delbert looking at her thoughtfully. Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked in a hoarse voice, "Delbert, what are you doing?" Delbert quickly helped her put on her clothes, his eyes showing signs of distress that made Harriet feel anxious. After a long silence, Delbert said with an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Harriet. I was impulsive just now. I know you don't like me to act that way!" Since the last time his paranoia flared up and he forcefully did something to Harriet, he still felt regret and self-blame. "Delbert, I..." Harriet moved her lips but couldn't bring herself to say the words. How could a woman say such things aloud? Delbert was unaware of Harriet's embarrassment and thought she was genuinely angry. She had clearly told him not to force her, but what had he just done? He nearly hurt Harriet again! Calming down, Delbert walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and began to drag on it.
She changed the subject, "Tell me, how can I help you?"Selena took another sip of her coffee but felt something was off.So much so that even though Harriet had started speaking, and she could see her lips moving, she just couldn't make out what she was saying."Harriet, do you think I've been too tired lately because of the pregnancy? I seem to have tinnitus. What are you saying? I can't hear a single word."As she said that, Selena yawned.She felt unusually lethargic, "I'm so sleepy!"The next second, she collapsed onto the table.Harriet, seeing Selena faint in front of her, immediately realized something was wrong.She reached for her phone, but a wave of dizziness hit her hard.Unprepared, Harriet also fainted onto the table.Before losing consciousness, she finally remembered—the coffee they drank was tampered with!After the two had passed out, a woman and a person in black slowly entered the private room.The woman was Nora.After being sent to prison by Harriet,
After the man in black got out of the car, he opened the rear door and dragged the unconscious Harriet out, then placed her in the driver's seat.Just as he was about to buckle her seatbelt, Harriet's eyes suddenly snapped open, and she woke up."You..."Before the man in black could finish his sentence, Harriet's gaze turned icy, and she delivered a fierce kick to his abdomen.Caught off guard, the man in black staggered back several steps.After getting out of the car, Harriet immediately spotted Nora standing to the side.She hadn't expected Nora to have escaped from prison.Nora was completely taken aback by Harriet waking up at that moment, her face clearly showing panic."Be quick. Catch her!"Now Nora was pinning all her hopes on the man in black.The man had been caught off guard before, but he was confident enough in his skills as a former mercenary to subdue a woman.With that thought, his fist flew towards Harriet with force.Harriet was standing close to the car
But at this moment, seeing the injured Harriet, Nora felt an unusual surge of excitement.She couldn't care less about anything else. She just wanted Harriet dead."Harriet, go to hell!"With that, she raised the gun again and fired mercilessly in Harriet's direction.The last time Harriet was hit because she was unprepared, but she definitely wouldn't be hit by a second bullet.As Harriet dodged Nora’s bullet, her phone suddenly rang. It was Delbert calling.She had just pressed the answer button when Nora fired a third shot at her.As she dodged, the phone flew out of her hand.Delbert had intended to ask if Harriet had dinner since he had cooked at home. But as soon as the call connected, he heard gunshots through the phone.The realism of the gunfire made Delbert naturally dismiss the thought that Harriet was watching a movie."Harriet, what's happened? Where are you?" Delbert urgently asked.However, there was nothing but consecutive gunshots over the phone—no reply c
If it hadn't been for Harriet's urgency to jump off the cliff, Delbert would never have let the man in black off so easily. He immediately turned and chased after the direction where Harriet had fallen.At this moment, Harriet had rolled down the hillside and was already numb from her injuries. It felt similar to how she had felt in the previous life when she was tricked onto the operating table by Nora and Vernon.As dusk fell and night gradually took over, it seemed that this time there was no hope of survival for her. The only thing she couldn't accept was losing to Nora once again.‘Delbert, I hope you can be happy in the future, even without me!’As she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly saw a familiar handsome face. It seemed like an illusion—before she died, she could still see Delbert?Darkness enveloped her, but behind him was the brilliance of the setting sun....Meanwhile, Selena, gradually coming out of her drugged state, was shocked to find herself i
So when Marc, Molly, Sean, and others arrived after hearing the news, they saw three worried people standing guard at the emergency room door."How is Harriet?" Molly asked with a worried look on her face.Delbert remained silent, so Selena answered for him, "She was hit by a bullet and lost a lot of blood, but the bullet didn't hit any vital organs."The last sentence didn’t provide any comfort to anyone."Delbert, don't worry, I’ll definitely bring the culprit to justice!" Marc assured him."It's Nora. There is a mysterious organization behind her," Delbert said with a cold look in his eyes, as if he wished to torture and kill them on the spot."Delbert, I'll send my men to arrest them!" After glancing at Delbert's gloomy face and then at Molly, Marc said to her, "Molly, I'll leave this to you for now."Although he also wanted to see Harriet safely come out of the operating room with Delbert and Molly, he had more important things to do at the moment—finding the perpetrator.
In the operating room.When Joe, dressed in surgical attire, appeared, the doctors and nurses who were struggling with the surgery were all startled. Harriet's injuries this time were too severe. She kept bleeding, and her organs were injured, so they could barely stop it. But Harriet was Delbert’s wife, the future Mrs. Carlson of the Carlson Group. Delbert had just given orders that if they couldn't save Harriet, he would have everyone in the hospital buried with her."Who are you? Why are you here? Get out of here!" The chief surgeon saw Joe and immediately tried to drive him out."Mr. Delbert asked me to perform surgery on Miss Harriet!" Joe pointed to Harriet lying on the operating table and said in a calm tone.The chief surgeon frowned. How could Delbert let a stranger perform surgery on Harriet?"You're lying. Get out! This isn’t where you should be!" The chief surgeon tried to dismiss Joe.However, Joe completely ignored him and walked directly towards Harriet.
