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 291Tara had always thought that Delbert had no interest in women and that she was the only one who could stay by his side. She had believed she would become his wife one day.But to her surprise, not long ago, Delbert married a foolish girl.Unable to accept it, she had bribed everyone in the manor in a few months and learned how to cause Vicky's illness, which had already been almost cured, to relapse.Vicky suffered from a serious mental illness, and when she had an attack, she behaved like a mad person and even hurt people.Tara wanted to use this to leave Imperium for Meawood City and be by Delbert's side. Then she could have a chance to break up Harriet and Delbert.Delbert could only belong to her.She thought that Delbert would not sit back and watch her be bullied by Vicky.Besides, she had already seen that the relationship between Delbert and Vicky was not good. Delbert walked over and said coldly, "I'll compensate for the broken vase!"He turned on his ph
Chapter 292Tara knew that as long as she kept mentioning how Vicky always beat her, Delbert would soften and protect her.And just as she expected, her plan worked.Vicky's hysterical outburst made Delbert want to turn around and leave, but seeing how miserable Tara looked, he couldn't bear it.He walked up to Tara and spoke with a frown. "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
Chapter 293In the villa, Harriet was lying on the bed, gazing at Delbert's number.Several hours had passed, and she wondered if Delbert had safely arrived in Imperium.She thought about calling him.But then she dismissed it. Given the unpleasant look on Delbert's face earlier, there must have been a major problem with the project. He must be busy now, and she shouldn't disturb him.With these thoughts in mind, Harriet drifted off to sleep.Without Delbert by her side, she had a nightmare about her childhood again.When she woke up the next day, the space beside her was empty.She felt confused for a moment before remembering that Delbert went on a business trip to Imperium last night.Harriet quickly opened her phone, but Delbert hadn't sent her any messages.She felt a little upset.She had been thinking about him all day yesterday, but as soon as he arrived in Imperium, he was out of touch.Harriet picked up her phone and called him, but it was turned off.She felt so
Chapter 294Harriet felt like the world was collapsing."I have to go to Imperium and find Delbert. I won't let anything happen to him. Please take me there," Harriet said, grabbing Cory's shoulder.Cory tried to reassure her. "Madam, please calm down!""Delbert is in trouble. How can I calm down?" Harriet said in tears.This was the first time she had shown her vulnerability in front of an outsider."I must go to Imperium. Let's go now, or Delbert will really be in danger."Let's go and find him together!" Harriet said, trying to leave the island.She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert as soon as possible.But Cory held her wrist, not allowing her to take a step away."I'm sorry, madam. Mr. Delbert instructed me that no matter what happens to him, I must never let anything happen to you. I must obey his orders and protect you. Please rest assured! I will find him," he said."How can I rest assured? Delbert has gone missing. Cory, please let me go to Imperium. I'm so w
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
