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 328After the line went through, Delbert said, "Harriet?"But the call was hung up.Delbert narrowed his eyes and fell silent again.It seemed that Harriet was still mad.He should go and comfort her.He called again, but it was rejected.He did it more times, only to find that his number had been blocked.Delbert couldn't help but sigh.Now he couldn't even compromise.At seven o'clock in the evening, after finishing all of his work at the company, Delbert drove back to the island.The living room was empty, so he quietly went upstairs and leaned against the bedroom door, listening to Harriet and Molly talking on the phone.They were chatting happily, and Delbert couldn't find any opportunities to interrupt.He stood outside the door for a long time before sighing and preparing to go to his study."Delbert!" A crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.Delbert paused, and then he heard the bedroom door open, followed by footsteps.Harriet had just asked tentati
Chapter 329Harriet was touched by Delbert's affectionate words.'Does he know how sweet he is?' She thought.Harriet blushed, and Delbert stroked her hair."I have talked to Cory about it, and I have thought about it carefully," he said. "Go ahead and take over the Munoz Group."Harriet looked at him in surprise. "Really?""Yeah!" Delbert nodded solemnly.As long as either of them conceded, this matter would be perfectly solved.And it was better for him to concede.Besides, as Harriet said, the Munoz Group was founded by her mother, and taking over was her wish. He could not impose his will on her and prevent her from doing so.But Harriet became a little uncertain."Why did your attitude change so quickly? I was thinking that if you didn't agree, I would argue with you again.""It just happens naturally." He paused and continued, "I can't handle another fight.""If so, you should have agreed to my request earlier," Harriet grumbled with a smile."You're right! It's my
