Chapter 284

Monica'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.

    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

"Get up! Don't kneel here."Delbert knew that the more Tara argued with Vicky, the more severe her illness became.Tara looked at Delbert, as if he were her savior. Her heart beat fast in her chest."Get the hell out of here!" Vicky shouted in anger."Get up and go!" Delbert said, ignoring Vicky.Tara looked at the hysterical Vicky and the dignified Delbert.This excellent man should belong to her.That plain-looking and tasteless Harriet couldn't hold a candle to her.Tara looked at Delbert with overflowing admiration.She immediately got up and followed behind him.There was a sound of things being smashed in the room, accompanied by

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.

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.

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.

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
