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
Chapter 330"Get changed first!" Delbert said.He went out of the bedroom and headed to the dressing room.He had to dress up properly too.Despite her doubt, Harriet complied.After changing her clothes, she went out of the bedroom and arrived at the dressing room."I'm ready!" she announced.She opened the door, only to see Delbert standing there in shorts. She quickly covered her face with her hands and turned away.Even though they were married, this scene was still too embarrassing.Delbert laughed at her coyness and put on his shirt. While buttoning it, he said, "Cory will take you somewhere later.""Where?" Harriet asked."The Munoz Group," Delbert replied. "Didn't you say that you were going to take over? Did you forget so soon?""I remember. I'll go right away!" Harriet nodded vigorously.After changing his clothes, Delbert took her downstairs.He was impressed by her beauty when she was wearing the blue suit.The slim-fitting dress showed off her well-proportio
Chapter 331"Harriet, is that you? It's been so long since we last met. I heard that you've fully recovered from your illness and are now going to take over the Munoz Group. We should catch up today," said Blake.Harriet was speechless for a moment.Blake walked toward her with quick steps, his face filled with excitement as he grabbed her hand.Harriet felt helpless.If Blake really missed her, as he claimed, why didn't he come to find her during all this time?She hadn't forgotten in her past life how dismissive he was toward her.Now that she had regained her sanity and was going to take over the Munoz Group, he suddenly acted like he cared about her.Wasn't it a bit too late?But since Blake wanted to pretend, she would play along.Harriet was dazed for a moment before tears welled up in her eyes.Her pitiful appearance immediately caught attention.Even Cory was surprised.'Ms. Harriet is such an actress. No wonder Mr. Delbert listens to her in every way.' He thought.
Chapter 332When Blake asked for permission to bring Harriet into the Munoz Group, all the executives nodded in agreement.Harriet was Delbert's wife, so even if Blake didn't want her to take over, he couldn't defy Delbert's order.Blake then led Harriet into the office building and took her to get familiar with the internal structure. Since there were corporate secrets involved, Cory couldn't follow along. Instead, he waited in the lounge.As soon as Cory left, the executives revealed their true colors, looking at Harriet with disdain.That had been expected by Harriet.Blake continued to pretend, kindly introducing the different areas and facilities to her.Harriet didn't rush to confront him. Instead, she followed behind him and looked around the company.The decoration was the same as in most ordinary companies. The office area was slightly smaller than that of an ordinary company, and the occupied areas were decorated with various antiques, trophies, and banners.It see
