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
Chapter 316"To watch her?" Harriet pointed to Lula, not understanding Delbert's intention."Of course not! Lula alone is not good enough. Just wait for a moment," Delbert said. "Trust me! It will be the best show."Sure enough, Vernon arrived shortly after.He had made an appointment with Lula to have dinner together.But as soon as Vernon entered the door, he caught sight of Harriet.And Delbert was sitting next to her.Vernon was surprised, wondering if it was a coincidence or intentional.Harriet was happily chatting with Delbert."Vernon!" Lula called out, waving at him.Since Marc stopped looking for her, she had become closer to Vernon.But just as she was about to walk over, Vernon bypassed her and stood in front of Harriet."H-Ms. Harriet, we meet again!" he said."Vernon, it's you! What a small world!" Harriet responded, looking up at Vernon.Hiding behind her smile was deep disgust.It was a shame that she had failed to trap Vernon and Lula at Nora's birthday
Chapter 317Lula couldn't face Delbert and Harriet anymore. She quickly tugged on Vernon's clothes, indicating that he should leave quickly."Well then, we won't disturb you," Vernon said, coming to his senses.Neither Delbert nor Harriet responded to him during this period. Their disdain toward him was plain to see."Let's order the food." Vernon sat across from Lula and gentlemanly placed the menu in front of her.But his mind was preoccupied with Harriet.He hadn't forgotten how Harriet had dissed him at Nora's birthday party. The more she ignored him like this now, the more he wanted her heart to be back on him like before.And Harriet was more tempting than before.Delbert leisurely picked up the menu, ignoring Harriet's doubtful gaze.'What does Delbert mean by intentionally bringing me here to see Vernon and Lula?' She wondered."I remember you like spicy food. Flavor Fusion has the best of all worlds. Each dish here is selected from various cuisines. Let me see, how a
Chapter 318Vernon clenched his fists and then loosened them.Harriet used to love sweets, but after marrying Delbert, she started to like spicy food."Vernon, I also ordered fish. It looks delicious," Lula whispered to Vernon after the waiter served the dishes. "Recently, a foreign company wanted to cooperate with us. I've already helped you sign the contract. Just remember to stamp it when you go back."However, Vernon's mind was not focused on this at all, and Lula's actions in making decisions for him had made him feel suffocated."Sorry, I remembered that I have some things to deal with temporarily. Let's stop here for today's discussion," Vernon said, unable to stand Harriet and Delbert's display of affection."Wait!" Lula grabbed his arm.Just then, a series of clicking sounds, accompanied by flashes of camera lights, startled them.The reporters' questions ensued."Mr. Morton, are you on a date with Miss Becker?""Anonymous reports are saying that you cheated on Ms. N
Chapter 319'Damn it! Who the hell invited these meddling reporters?' Lula cursed inwardly.Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of Harriet watching with amusement from the opposite table.'It's her! Harriet orchestrated all of this!' Lula thought.She believed that Harriet wanted her to be disgusted by Marc and lose everything.Lula clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her face was also contorted with anger.Vernon couldn't bear the relentless harassment from these reporters any longer. In a flash, he rushed forward and snatched a camera from one of the journalists, smashing it onto the ground while shouting, "No more photos!"For a moment, there was silence, but it was quickly replaced by even greater commotion.Who would let such big news slip away?Vernon couldn't reason with those reporters, who were determined to dig up a blockbuster story. He could only leave in frustration.The reporters redirected their attention toward Lula, eager to uncover
Chapter 320"What is it?" Delbert asked.Harriet's lips curled into a slight smile, her face shining brightly even in the dim environment. "With so many people watching, aren't you embarrassed?" she said before quickly moving away from Delbert."Oh? At Holy Light the other day, who said in front of Marc and others that she wanted them to watch an erotic play? She kissed me, and now she is shy," Delbert teased her.He was referring to the incident when Harriet deliberately hit on him to drive away Marc and Yuri."Isn't it normal between husband and wife?" Harriet retorted, blushing with embarrassment.After dinner, Harriet and Delbert prepared to leave.While Delbert went to the underground parking lot to get the car, Harriet waited outside for him. Suddenly, a hand grabbed Harriet, pushing her against the wall. A nauseating feeling enveloped her as she figured out who did this.It was none other than Vernon.Disgust was undisguised in her eyes."Let go of me!" she said th
Chapter 321Harriet turned to leave, but Vernon held her from behind."Want to leave? Not so easy!" he said."What are you doing? Let go of me! Let go!" Harriet shouted.Harriet struggled with anger. She could feel the curious gazes of passing drivers and pedestrians on the bustling street.'Damn it!' She cursed under her breath.If Delbert bumped into this scene, how would she explain it?Delbert's condition was still unstable, and he couldn't handle any stimulation.But no matter how hard Harriet struggled, Vernon refused to let go of her.He tightened his grip around her waist and planned to drag her to where his car was parked. "I'd say that I invited you back as a guest. What can Delbert do to me?" he said. "Do you think I will let you off after you schemed against me at Nora's birthday party?""Let go of me, or I'll kill you!" Harriet snarled, flailing her legs in the air.A silver needle glinted in her hand, ready to strike."Let her go!"Suddenly, a stern voice c
Chapter 322Earlier, Delbert had just driven out of the underground parking lot when he witnessed the scene of Vernon holding onto Harriet. Anger and jealousy had instantly consumed him.Knowing that he was upset, Harriet earnestly explained, "Delbert, listen to me. Vernon did it on purpose. He was trying to ruin our relationship.""I have warned him already. If it happens again, I'll send him to hell!" Delbert said.He calmed down, released his grip, and pulled away from her.He was afraid that he would do something terrible to her, just like last time.Harriet was relieved.Thankfully, Delbert managed to contain his emotions. Otherwise, she didn't know how things would have ended. It seemed that the medicine baths and acupuncture had worked.Everything was heading in a good direction.But when she looked up, she saw Delbert straightening up and irritably pulling at his collar. His robust chest was partly exposed to the air.Startled, she quickly looked away and stood there
