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. "I was prais
Chapter 315Harriet stressed her tone to assert her authority.Tara smiled and said, "So, you are Ms. Harriet. My name is Tara, and Delbert is my savior. I have been serving by his side since I was little."Tara didn't expect the elegant woman to be Delbert's wife. Harriet didn't look foolish at all.Tara's eyes flickered with disgust, but she soon disguised it."Thank you for your hard work! You don't have to worry about Delbert from now on. I'll take care of him," Harriet said.The atmosphere immediately became tense."Harriet..."Holding Harriet's hand, Delbert could feel that her mood had been off since Tara appeared.'Is she jealous?' Delbert thought in amusement."It's alright, Ms. Harriet. Just leave the strenuous work to me. I don't think Mr. Delbert would want you to exhaust yourself," Tara said, shifting her gaze toward Delbert.Her implication couldn't be clearer.She was there to take care of Delbert.Delbert gave no response.Harriet narrowed her eyes and sne
