Chapter 283Harriet then told Delbert about what Nora had asked her to do on the phone.After a moment of silence, Delbert said, "I've already sent someone over. You don't have to put yourself in danger. Just leave it to me."Harriet was taken aback. "But..."She was worried about Monica.After all, Monica was kidnapped because of her.Delbert interrupted her, saying, "The police and my team will handle the rest. You should stay at home and wait for my good news."Harriet pursed her lips. "Alright! Be careful and take Monica back safely."Delbert smiled. "Yes, my dear wife!"Harriet felt helpless. "Come on! It's not the time to joke around!""Okay, I got it. Talk to you later," Delbert said.Harriet hung up the phone and heaved a sigh of relief.She hoped that Monica would be safe....On the outskirts of Meawood City.In a dark and gloomy warehouse, Monica lay on the cold ground, weakly opening her eyes.Since being kidnapped by Nora, she hadn't eaten or drunk anything
Chapter 284Monica's heart began to beat violently. She felt a deep fear of death weighing heavily on her.She didn't want to die, but she didn't want to submit to someone like Nora either.She had been so good to Nora before, but she never expected that Nora would forget everything and even kidnap her.Nora was such a heartless person.Monica's lips trembled as she said, "I don't want to stay here."A triumphant expression appeared on Nora's face, and she pretended to be comforting."You've made the right choice. It's not worth dying for that despicable Harriet," she said. "Alright, let her go."Nora waved her hand, and two men walked over to help Monica up from the ground.Nora took out her phone and handed it to Monica."Come on and make a statement. Let's expose Harriet together. You hate her too, don't you?" she said.Unexpectedly, Monica didn't take the phone. Instead, she gathered her strength and lunged at Nora.Grabbing Nora's neck, she roared, "Don't come any clos
Chapter 285"Throw this wretch into the deep mountains! I want her to suffer and die!" Nora said.For this rebellion, Monica would pay with her life.Following orders, those men lifted Monica and put her in a sack.Monica woke up a few times, but each time she felt drowsy and had no idea where Nora's people were taking her.After an unknown amount of time, she felt like she had been thrown into some place.There was a damp, earthy smell mixed with the fresh scent of the forest, and the weight of the dirt kept piling on her body."Bury her! Don't let anyone find out!" Nora seemed to be giving orders.She was going to bury Monica alive.Nora was truly cruel.Monica tried to get up, but because she was bound by the sack, she couldn't figure out the direction. She could only wriggle and search forward until more dirt fell on her."Delbert!" she cried out.Her body became heavier, and the air grew thinner. Running a light fever, she coughed and shed tears."I'm sorry, I shouldn
Chapter 286In the end, Monica was found by Cory and rescued from the mud."Miss Monica, you're safe now," Cory said.Monica, who had survived the ordeal, could barely see anything, but Cory's words were deeply etched in her heart.This was the first time Cory had seen Monica in such a pitiful state. She was always arrogant and willful, but this time she seemed frightened.They were on a mountain that the car couldn't reach. Monica was running a light fever again, so Cory had no choice but to carry her down the mountain.His solid back gave Monica a sense of security. Perhaps because of the fever, her heart was pounding rapidly."By the way, what's your name?" she weakly said."Cory, assistant to Mr. Delbert," Cory replied."I'm Monica..."But before Monica could hear Cory's next words, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.Cory quickly took her to the hospital for treatment.Upon receiving the news of Monica's injury, her parents and Trevor Carlson rushed to the hos
Chapter 287Nora had no intention of running because she could see Harriet soon.Even if she died, she would perish with Harriet.Led by Cory, Harriet reached the car and got in.The car windows were tinted, so nothing could be seen from the outside."Tell me who hired those black-clothed men. Or rather, who is the mastermind behind all this?" Harriet asked.Nora sneered. "Why should I tell you?""Huh! Even at the brink of death, you still refuse to repent. You deserve the miserable end you're facing today!" Harriet snorted.Nora blushed with anger, her infected face looking hideous. "What do you mean?"Harriet sneered. "Don't you understand? I mean, with your intelligence, it's no wonder you lost to me. You probably don't know that I own King. Joe is just my agent."All the shares you took from Bessie belong to me now. As for the Z-type potion he sold to you, I mixed fake medicine in it, which is why your face turned rotten again."Blood drained from Nora's face. She was to
Chapter 288"Thank you!" Harriet said.Delbert chuckled and indulgently looked at her. "You are my wife, so it's only right for me to protect you."Cory found their display of affection annoying."I'll go and try to find the man in black," he said, leaving the space for Delbert and Harriet.Instead of staying there and watching them show affection, he might as well go to work.When Delbert took Harriet home, he was surprised to find Clifton on the island.Clifton forced his way in, begging Harriet and Delbert to return the Munoz Group to him.Clifton had been detained by the police for more than twenty days because of the scandals reported by his subordinates. When he came out, he heard that the Munoz Group had gone bankrupt and had been acquired by Harriet and merged into the Carlson Group.If the Munoz Group was gone, he would have no chance of survival.He resented Harriet for pretending to be foolish, but he had to come and beg her."Harriet, Mr. Delbert, I was wrong. Pl
Chapter 289Every time Harriet came up with a plan, she always managed to hit a sore spot.Harriet chuckled and leaned on Delbert's shoulder, saying, "It's time to dig up the tax evasion case that Clifton was involved in. No one from the Munoz family will escape!"Delbert nodded. "I understand."Harriet had promised not to go after Clifton anymore, but Delbert had not....The next day, Delbert sent Cory to dig up the tax evasion case and provide evidence against Clifton in court.Clifton was sentenced to three years in prison.Harriet was not satisfied with this outcome.She believed that someone like Clifton deserved a life sentence, but she didn't have enough evidence against him.Delbert tried to comfort her. "Although it's only three years, he will suffer in jail while we will have some peaceful days."Harriet remained unhappy. "He caused the death of my mother, and the sentence is too lenient. And Bessie hasn't been punished because of her insanity. I can't accept it!"
Chapter 290"When I'm not at home, you shouldn't try to escape or meet any men outside," Delbert said.Suddenly remembering something, he bent down and narrowed his eyes. "I'll be back in three days."Then his warm lips pressed against hers. Harriet closed her eyes, letting him give her a goodbye kiss. "Okay! I'll wait for you at home," she said, nodding obediently.Her smile was innocent and harmless.Satisfied with her behavior, Delbert licked his lips, grabbed his coat from the sofa, and left.A few hours later, Delbert arrived in Imperium. It was nighttime, and the city was brightly lit. Imperium was the capital city, with numerous wealthy and influential families intertwined, forming a vast network of money and power.There were only four major clans, with the Carlson family as the leader. They oversaw the city and had the power to influence the global economy.The Carlson Group originally rose to prominence in Imperium, but later, because Milton liked tranquility, t
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
