Chapter 306

Harriet 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 313After the incident in Imperium, Delbert immediately contacted Sean and asked him to gather evidence of Shawn's malicious intentions. Sean found quite a bit of evidence.He took out his phone, opened the recording app, and turned up the volume. Soon, the conversation between Shawn and the executives of Carlson Group was played.It turned out that Shawn had bribed several executives to join forces against Delbert.And the incident in Imperium was planned by them long ago."Mr. Delbert, we were just momentarily confused. Please forgive us," several executives begged, sensing an unfavorable situation.The evidence was solid. If Delbert pursued it, they would be in grave trouble.Therefore, they quickly acknowledged Delbert's identity.Delbert smiled and darted a fierce look at Shawn."These documents here can't be forged by me, right?" he said.Faced with the irrefutable evidence, Shawn lost his arrogance. He wanted to defend himself, but Delbert didn't give him the c

    Chapter 314Harriet made no comments on this topic. Instead, she quietly listened and felt sorry for Delbert.For the sake of the family's interests, he had to shoulder more responsibility and consider more things. If he relaxed his vigilance for a moment, the others would bring him down from his position.What happened in Imperium was an example.Delbert entrusted the matter of dealing with Shawn to Sean. After leaving the banquet hall, he took Harriet to a restaurant in the city center.Cory drove them to their destination.The decoration of the restaurant was stylish and ancient.Delbert led the way, holding hands with Harriet.The sound of melodious music echoed around them, and the waiters passing by were all dressed in ancient costumes, giving people the illusion of traveling through time."The owner of this restaurant is talented enough to come up with such a business model," she exclaimed."Thanks for the compliment," Delbert said.Harriet felt helpless.

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.

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.

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.

"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

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.
