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
Chapter 323"Harriet!" Delbert held her waist and patiently persuaded, "You can rest assured. The Munoz Group will be in good hands."Besides, it's currently in chaos, and there is a lot of work to be done. I don't want you to exhaust yourself."Delbert's intentions were good, but Harriet was still unwilling."Why don't you understand what I want?" she said. "What I want is to grow and to have the ability to stand on my own. If things like that in Imperium happen again, I can come to your side and fight alongside you instead of helplessly waiting for you on the island."She wanted to grow and have the qualifications to stand by Delbert's side. She didn't want him to shoulder everything by himself.Delbert was not a machine or God. He could get tired.But he always liked to act tough in front of her. Even though he was exhausted, every time he came back, he would smile at her and hold her.Since their past lives, he had always been like this, never letting her worry about anythi
Chapter 324Harriet pursed her lips. "So, do you really think that what you're doing is for my good?"All that Delbert wanted was for Harriet to be happy.When Harriet questioned him, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something. The pain caused him to feel suffocated.Did he do something wrong?Harriet realized how harsh her words were.Her angry questioning seemed to deny everything Delbert had done for her.She trembled, unable to say sorry to him.After a moment of silence, Delbert got up and said, "Let's take some time to calm down."Without finishing breakfast, he went to his study and closed the door."Delbert!" Harriet wanted to chase after him, but her steps stopped at the closed door.She stood there for a moment before going back to the dining table and continuing to have her breakfast.She didn't want him to protect her like before. It wasn't that she didn't trust Delbert. She was just upset about the situation.She wanted to have power. She wanted to
Chapter 325'Why is he so stubborn?' Harriet thought.During the cold war, Delbert didn't even call her to make peace. He used to do his best to coax her, but now all he did was avoid her.Or maybe she went too far with her words that day.Even Opal, who was usually slow on the uptake, noticed the strange atmosphere in the villa. Plus, Delbert hadn't come back for several days."Madam, did you have a fight with Mr. Delbert?" She cautiously asked."Yeah!" Harriet replied weakly, not intending to hide it from Opal.Opal thought for a moment and said, "Madam, this can't go on like this. Mr. Delbert hasn't come back for days. If another woman takes advantage of this situation...""I dare him!" Harriet widened her eyes.Opal cleared her throat and continued, "Madam, there's something you don't know. Cory told me that a new secretary named Tara has joined Mr. Delbert's company recently."I know her. She used to stay on the island for a while. I heard she's an orphan. Mr. Delbert re
Chapter 326As Delbert openly slacked off during the meeting, Cory felt it was unfair.'Why did Mr. Delbert answer Ms. Harriet's calls so quickly?' He thought.In contrast, Delbert always ignored his subordinates.What was more, Delbert halted the meeting to answer the call.Being close enough to Delbert, Cory heard their conversation.But the others in the conference room did not. They only thought that it was an important issue, and they patiently waited for Delbert to finish the call.Facing Delbert's cold attitude, Harriet didn't know what to say and remained silent."If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm in a meeting," Delbert finally said."Okay!" Harriet pursed her lips and hung up the phone.Delbert heard the beeping sound from the phone, and his face turned gloomy. Everyone at the meeting held their breaths, wondering if Delbert was stumped by something major.Cory curiously looked at Delbert. There were only two sources of Delbert's displeasure. Either Harriet
Chapter 327After a moment of silence, Delbert finally spoke. "Harriet wants to take over the Munoz Group."Cory didn't expect that they would argue over such a trivial matter.Sometimes, he really couldn't understand these couples. Did they treat arguments as a seasoning for their relationship?"Isn't this matter easily resolved? Why don't you just grant her wish? The Munoz Group belongs to her anyway," Cory said.Delbert frowned. "But the company is in chaos now. I don't want her to get involved in this mess. She just needs to rest well at home.""So, you forbid her to take over the company?" Cory asked.Delbert hesitantly nodded. "That's why she's angry. She said that I don't understand her at all and that my so-called protection is not for her good."Cory thought that Harriet had indeed gone too far this time, but given her personality, she wouldn't speak so recklessly unless she was pushed to the limit.Seeing Delbert's difficult look, Cory pondered for a moment."Sir, t
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
