Chapter 3 Delbert

Chapter 3 Delbert

In the dark of night, only the faint moonlight shone through the window, vaguely outlining the hard features of the man. His deep eyes, blazing with intense desire, were fixed on her.

It was Delbert—her Delbert.

In her previous life, Harriet only realized that Delbert was nothing like the rumored description of being ugly and malicious after Bessie sent her to the island.

On the contrary, he had a handsome countenance and a noble bearing. Later, he even became president of the Carlson Group and a trillionaire, who showered her with lavish care.

But deceived by Nora and Vernon, she foolishly believed that Delbert had pressured her family for her to marry him. In the end, she not only cheated him out of his business secrets, causing him to go broke, but also ended his life with a poisoned drink.

The thought of her actions in her previous life made Harriet's heart bleed and filled her with deep regret.

And now, Delbert was just inches away from her, yet she could only look at him with tearful eyes, unable to utter a word.

Crossing over from her previous life, she finally saw him again.

No longer retarded, she inherited her mother's extraordinary medical skills. Therefore, with just one glance, she could tell that Delbert had been drugged.

And it was a kind of potent drug.

'But why did he come here to find me?" She wondered.

Before Harriet could make sense of this, the man's burning hand seized her chin, and he bore down to kiss her.

After a passionate kiss, Harriet met his eyes and instantly understood his intentions.

She was willing to offer her chastity.

Everything she had belonged to him.

But they were at the Munoz family's house, and the slightest noise would alert those people. If this got out, it would affect Delbert's limited reputation and his future.

Nobody understood better than her how important the presidency of the Carlson Group meant for Delbert.

"You bad person, don't bully me..."

But her resistance didn't sway Delbert.

He narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on her.

The pain was splitting, causing tears to flood Harriet's eyes.

The man let out a satisfied moan. "Yvonne, you are finally mine!"

'Yvonne? Who is that?' Harriet pondered.

When love was intense, a man would only call out the name of the woman he loved.

Harriet trembled as a bold idea sprang to mind.

With the change in her intelligence, the trajectory of her life had also changed.

The man, who had loved and doted on her in her previous life, no longer had feelings for her. He was in love with another woman.

Thinking back, when she was still clueless in her previous life, she didn't understand why Delbert, on their wedding night, didn't touch her. He only caressed her eyebrows and said, "It's you."

Now she understood that he was looking through her at a woman called Yvonne.

Perhaps, in his heart, she was just a substitute. That was why he had doted on her so much.

Harriet's eyes went dim in an instant.

Pressing down on her aching heart, she took out a silver needle and inserted it into the satiated, sleeping man.

Although he would feel better after the drug's effects subdued, he wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

Harriet knew that he would have to return to the Carlson family to see his grandfather tomorrow, so she had to treat him and ensure that his plan for tomorrow went without a hitch.

After treating him, Harriet felt exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

'Delbert, I don't care who lives in your heart.

'But for what I owe you from my previous life, I will repay you with everything I have.'
