Chapter 305Delbert saw Harriet's flushed ears and smiled.When Delbert turned his head, he saw Opal still standing there, sneaking glances at their every move.His brows furrowed as he stared coldly at Opal. "Didn't you say breakfast was ready? Why are you still standing here?" Opal left quickly and closed the door for them.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the spacious bedroom. The ambiguous atmosphere returned, causing Harriet's blush to persist."Opal caught us once again, and I'm too embarrassed to go out," Harriet said awkwardly.Delbert patted her head and indulgently said, "It's alright! With me by your side, who dares to say anything?"Let's go and have breakfast before it gets cold."...Three days later, Delbert's injuries had almost healed, and it was time to deal with Shawn.He didn't want Harriet to accompany him on this dangerous journey, but she insisted on going."Go to the east of the city," Delbert instructed Cory once they got into the car.His l
Chapter 306Harriet suddenly felt that Delbert was just an ordinary person.He would go to great lengths to protect Milton's reputation, and he would swallow his pride for the sake of the family business.He wasn't as unstoppable as everyone imagined. If even he couldn't resist those conspiracies, then the Carlson family would fall.Delbert was the helmsman of the Carlson Group and the beloved grandson whom Milton had placed all his hopes on. He had to shoulder this great responsibility.Perhaps because Harriet's gaze was too intense, Delbert asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?""Because you are good-looking," said Harriet in a rising tone.Delbert wondered why Harriet was being so sweet that day.And he heard her heavy breathing."Delbert!" Harriet called out."Hmm?" Delbert lazily narrowed his eyes."No matter what happens this time, we'll face it together!" Harriet said. "As husband and wife, we are supposed to fight side by side. You're no
Chapter 307"Delbert is dead. Milton is old and weak. Shawn and Kenny are useless. How long can the Carlson family hold on? Sooner or later, we will divide it up," someone whispered.Harriet listened calmly."Delbert, have you offended a lot of people in the business world?" she asked.Delbert raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned. "How do you know?"Harriet rolled her eyes.She could tell it from those people's discussions.Normally, the guests would feel heavy about the death of someone. When it came to Delbert's death, however, most of the people present gloated over it.Harriet wondered what Delbert had done that made these influential figures in Meawood City celebrate his death."Since I took over the Carlson Group, I took advantage of the downturn in the industry and merged with many small companies. It's normal for people to hate me," Delbert explained, afraid that Harriet would mistake him for a ruthless person."In the business world, survival of the fittest is al
Chapter 308When Delbert appeared with Harriet in the banquet hall, everyone was focused on Shawn "acting" on stage, and no one noticed them.It was strange, though, that Kenny was not present.Harriet couldn't figure it out, but seeing that Delbert didn't seem to care about it, she didn't say anything.On stage, Shawn continued to speak. "Originally, these are our family matters and shouldn't be talked about in front of everyone."But to prevent some small-minded people from saying that I am taking advantage of the situation to seize power, I have to hold this banquet and publicly disclose Delbert's will."Harriet leaned over to Delbert's ear and asked, "Did you write a will?"The fragrance from her soft body distracted Delbert."It's fake. I never wrote a will," he said, snapping back."So Shawn forged one?" Harriet said, taking in a sharp breath.She finally understood the lure of money. Compared to money, human lives were nothing.Shawn stood on the stage and read the co
Chapter 309"As for those who don't know you, why would they choose to believe you and offend the powerful Shawn? Regardless of whether you are Delbert or not, they would rather believe that you are dead. After all, your existence is a threat to them," Harriet said.Sure enough, Shawn's next words verified Harriet's statement."Excuse me, sir, who are you? Why did you come to disrupt my banquet?" he said.The guests started to whisper among themselves."Delbert is already dead. This person is definitely not Delbert, just someone who looks like him.""He is bold enough to cause trouble at the Carlson family's banquet.""He probably wants to get his hands on the inheritance left by Delbert. After all, it is the inheritance left by the president of Carlson Group. Who wouldn't be tempted?""But this approach is too crude."Delbert raised an eyebrow and approvingly looked at Harriet. "I didn't expect your analysis to be quite accurate."Harriet looked around and said, "Stop flatte
Chapter 310"That's absurd!" Shawn snorted.How could he not be able to invite Sean?Delbert was already considered dead by everyone, and he had no siblings. Milton was too old to take care of things anymore. In the end, the Carlson Group could only end up in Shawn's hands.How could a mere lawyer dare defy his orders?Harriet turned her head and whispered in Delbert's ear, "You're referring to your friend, right? But would Shawn use his position to threaten Sean?"Delbert remained composed. "Shawn won't be able to invite him. Besides me, no one in the Carlson family can invite Sean.""What a big tone!" Shawn gestured for the person beside him to make a phone call.After a minute, the person looked dejected. Shawn quickly found himself an excuse. "I guess there's something important that he wants to tell me privately."Then he hurriedly walked away to take the call.At that moment, Sean was holding a beautiful lady in his arms."Hello, Mr. Mitchell, this is Shawn," Shawn sai
Chapter 311"You're injured. You can't fight them head-on. Just follow me to escape!" Harriet said.Delbert's eyes flickered with amusement. "Aren't you so cute?"Just then, Sean was led into the banquet hall.As soon as he walked in, he saw Delbert and Harriet sitting there. He was about to greet them when he remembered the conversation earlier. He put on a serious expression and walked up to Shawn.Harriet was stunned, wondering if Sean had been bribed by Shawn.'But he is a close friend of Delbert, isn't he?' Harriet thought.Sean straightened his tie and casually sat down."Mr. Mitchell, you're finally here. Please tell them that this will is left by Delbert," Shawn exclaimed as he hurriedly walked over to Sean.As long as Sean promised to testify for him, this matter would be easily resolved. He had already instructed his men to explain the situation to Sean while they were on the car ride over. He hoped that Sean could be a wise man in this situation.The people around
Chapter 312Shawn had borrowed Milton's plum all these years. Yet he had the nerve to brag in front of Sean.If it weren't for Delbert's sake, Sean wouldn't have come in the first place.Displeasure was evident on his face."How dare you!" Shawn blushed with anger as his thoughts had been seen through by Sean.For these years, Shawn had always kept his grievances to himself in the Carlson family. Although he was a complete fool in the business world, he was Milton's son. This identity alone commanded respect from the big shots in Meawood City.But now, a mere lawyer dared to challenge him.The tension was thick on the stage, and the people below whispered among themselves."No way! The will is fake?""Shit! If Mr. Mitchell doesn't acknowledge it, then the will in Shawn's hands won't be effective. If the will is not effective, what will happen to the land issue?"The people present were foxy and only cared about their interests."Am I right, Mr. Delbert?"Sean looked at Delb
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
