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 295"Delbert, I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want it!" Harriet cried out in her dream.However, Delbert ignored her tears and turned around without hesitation."No! Delbert, don't go! Come back!" She screamed, waking up from her sleep.Her face was covered in tears and sweat.She was lying in a hospital bed, with Molly lying beside her. Molly was sleeping and holding her hand.The noise woke up Molly, and she rubbed her eyes.Seeing Harriet wake up, Molly immediately became wide awake and grabbed her hand."Harriet, you finally woke up!" she said."Molly? What happened to me?" Harriet asked in confusion.Wasn't she supposed to be in the villa on the island? Why was she in the hospital?"After Cory knocked you out, you didn't wake up. He got scared and took you to the hospital. The doctor said you were under a lot of stress and needed some time to recover. You were unconscious for two days and nights," Molly explained. "I was afraid you wouldn't wake
Chapter 296Molly couldn't bear to see Harriet in such a distressed state, so she quickly came over to persuade her. "I think Cory is right. Going to Imperium won't help much now, and it might even put you in danger."You have to believe in Delbert's abilities. Maybe his disappearance is just a way for him to protect himself. If you go, you might disrupt his plans. It's better to wait for him in Meawood City. He will be fine!"Harriet got her point.Delbert was indeed capable. There must be a plan behind his actions. He was not the kind of person who would let himself be in a dangerous situation without taking any countermeasures.That must be it.She grabbed Molly's hand and said firmly, "You're right. Delbert is so capable. He will be fine and come back safely."I'll wait for him here, and I can't let him see me looking so haggard."So, Harriet went from being hysterical at the beginning to being calm, eating, and sleeping on time.She peacefully waited for Delbert to come b
Chapter 297"Harriet!" Molly rushed over and helped her up. "Are you feeling unwell?"The sight of Harriet's vacant eyes made Molly worry.Harriet ignored her question and went back to bed.She turned to look out the window. It was sunny outside, but her mood was cloudy.Delbert had been missing for seven days."Are you worried about Delbert?" Molly cautiously asked.Upon hearing the name, Harriet trembled and started to shed tears."Molly, what should I do? I promised you that I wouldn't lose control of my emotions, but I can't control myself," she said. "I'm so worried about Delbert. He's been missing for seven days, and I feel like my heart has stopped beating!"She weakly curled up in Molly's arms. She had done her best to comfort herself, but as time went by, there was no news coming from Imperium. She couldn't take it any longer.She held Molly tightly and burst into tears.At that moment, she understood Delbert's worry and fear when he saw her in trouble.She was fee
Chapter 298'What? Delbert is dead? How could such a powerful man like him die? He's the president of Carlson Group and a magnet in Meawood City!' Harriet thought.She couldn't believe this news, believing it was fake.Delbert couldn't possibly be dead."Cory, give me your car keys!" she said.Seeing Cory coming over to handle her discharge procedures, Harriet snatched his car keys.She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert.She wouldn't believe the news until she saw him with her own eyes.Cory was stunned by her action. As she hurried out of the hospital, he realized that Harriet must have read the news online.Not only her, but Cory didn't believe it was true either.Delbert was an omnipotent figure. How could anything happen to him?Cory watched Harriet leave and felt a sense of unease."Mr. Delbert, why haven't you appeared yet?" he muttered."Miss me?"Just then, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.It was Delbert's voice, and Cory felt that it was unreal.H
Chapter 299After a moment, tears filled Harriet's eyes.Delbert was in disguise, wearing a black cap. His head was down, making it hard to see his face.Even so, Harriet managed to recognize him at a glance.Delbert looked up, his eyes filled with tenderness.But Harriet blurted out in confusion, "Is it because I missed you so much that I'm hallucinating now?"Delbert's heart softened. He cursed himself inwardly for making Harriet cry and feel so sad.He lowered his gaze, wiped away her tears, and spoke softly. "Alright, silly girl. You look ugly when you cry."But Harriet couldn't snap out of it. She couldn't believe it. She thought she was still in a hallucination. Otherwise, how could Delbert, who had been missing for so long, suddenly appear before her eyes?Instinctively, she reached out her hands and slowly touched Delbert's face.When she felt the real touch in her palms, she couldn't help but smile bitterly."I must miss you so much that even in a hallucination, the
