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.
Seeing Selena's worried expression, Delbert seemed to guess what was happening. His chest surged violently, and his whole body seemed unsteady. Even his breathing became difficult.If anything bad happened to Harriet, he couldn't bear it at all!Yuri and Sean also entered with Delbert. After Sean comforted Delbert for a moment, his expression suddenly turned cold. He immediately walked up to Joe with a stern look on his face and questioned him sharply."Tell us, what did you give Harriet to eat?"Sean never trusted Joe and naturally assumed that he intended to harm Harriet.Joe narrowed his eyes behind his glasses and looked at the pale Harriet lying on the operating table, feeling uncertain in his heart.This was a medicine he had recently developed... Although it had undergone many tests, he..."Tell us!" Sean so angry that he was about to take action against him, but Joe deftly avoided him."This’s a medicine I personally developed," Joe said in a flat tone.He chose
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
