Chapter 341Blake had been in the business world for a long time, and he could tell that there was more to Delbert's words. When he realized that Delbert was mocking his ambition to climb the ladder, he was left speechless.He wanted to retort, but words failed him. He could only watch Delbert walk past him.As soon as Delbert disappeared from his sight, Blake angrily returned to his office.He thought about Delbert's mocking words and felt uneasy.Since the Munoz Group was now under his control, it should belong to him. What made Harriet think she could compete with him?After a busy day, it was finally time to go home.Delbert took Harriet home early.Most of the people in the company had already gone home, but Blake remained in his office, staring at the photos sent by his subordinates.The photos showed Darryl escorting Harriet out of the company.Blake finally understood why Darryl was so protective of Harriet. Even when Blake offered a high price to poach him, Darryl re
Chapter 342Delbert noticed Harriet's gaze and meaningfully smiled."Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" he said."Why did you laugh so happily after checking out the message? Is something going on?" Harriet asked.Delbert revealed everything. "Well, Blake just sent me a message, telling me about your affair.""Me having an affair? How is that possible?" Harriet rolled her eyes.A smile filled Delbert's eyes. "And the person you had an affair with is me.""So, Blake not only didn't recognize you but also mistook you for a kept man?" Harriet laughed, realizing the situation. "I suddenly want to see the shocked expression on his face when he finds out your true identity.""Let's take our time!" Delbert rubbed her hair and gently smiled.After a pause, he suddenly remembered something and parked the car on the side of the road."Well, I have to deal with something at the Carlson Group tomorrow, so I can't accompany you. Let Cory go with you tomor
Chapter 343Harriet didn't expect Tara to work at Delbert's company. They would have to spend time together.Harriet pursed her lips, obviously displeased.Delbert keenly sensed her unhappiness, and indulgence tinged his voice. "Are you jealous? Because Tara is going to work at my company?""No, I'm not." Harriet denied it."Do you know who the most adorable person in the world is?" Delbert asked."Who?" Harriet said.Delbert teased her. "It's someone with a slender waist, long legs, and a tough mouth but a soft heart, just like you now."Harriet stared at him for a while before realizing his meaning."You are the one with a tough mouth," she retorted....Monica was discharged from the hospital. Delbert had sent Cory to pick her up while accompanying Harriet to the Munoz Group.Ever since Monica was almost buried alive by Nora last time, she had stayed in the hospital for half a month.During this period, only Trevor and Cory would visit her from time to time.Cory was r
Chapter 344At the Munoz Group.Trevor was leaning against the elevator wall with a cold expression on his face.He heard that Harriet had recently regained her intelligence and taken over the Munoz Group.It was because of her that Monica was kidnapped by Nora and almost lost her life.When Delbert was around, Trevor didn't dare cause trouble for Harriet. Now that Monica had been discharged from the hospital and Delbert was not with Harriet, he was determined to teach Harriet a lesson.After the elevator door slowly opened, Trevor went out and headed straight for Harriet's office.Harriet was reading documents while enjoying Cory's service.Suddenly, the door opened, and Trevor rushed in.He saw Harriet sitting in her chair and scowled.He recognized her as the girl who raced with him and beat him the other day."It's you!"Trevor narrowed his eyes, wondering why she was in Harriet's office."Cory, why is this woman here?" He asked."Mr. Trevor, let me introduce you. Thi
Chapter 345He intended to wait for Harriet to come and attack her in retaliation for Monica.To his surprise, Harriet returned with a broom in hand. She lifted it high and struck him mercilessly, causing him to wince in pain.Harriet wielded the broom like a weapon, striking Trevor without mercy. He cried out in agony as she beat him on the spot."What is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind? I'm Delbert's cousin. How dare you hit me?" Trevor snapped.But before he could finish his sentence, he was struck again, harder than before. 'This woman looks delicate, but why is she so strong?' Trevor thought to himself."What are you all standing around for? Drag this crazy woman away from me! Wait until Delbert's wife arrives. I'll make sure you regret it!" he spluttered.Trevor felt embarrassed as he saw more and more employees gather at the door, along with Cory's troubled face. In frustration, he shouted at them, even resorting to using the despised name of Harriet.But with
Chapter 346"Trevor, what did you just call me? Vulgar and uncultured? Is this your upbringing to judge others' attire from a biased perspective?" Harriet said, continuing to hit him.Trevor groaned in pain, but he wasn't one to yield so easily."Besides putting on airs, what else can you do? Everything you have is obtained through men, isn't it? If you didn't marry Delbert, you wouldn't even have had a chance to talk to me," Trevor scoffed.Like Monica, he grew up being spoiled and had never been hit by anyone before.Harriet's violent beating caused him to roar in anger."Relying on men? Humph!" Harriet sneered.She sought revenge on her own. Did she need to rely on men?"Or what? Women like you are only after rich men, aren't they? What's with the pretense here? Monica exposed your scheme, and you framed her like that, almost burying her alive."I won't let you off the hook. I'll make sure you pay the price," Trevor said aggressively.Harriet was angered. Sure enough, Trev
Chapter 347If Delbert didn't come to save him soon, Harriet would kill him....Today was Tara's first day at the Carlson Group, recommended by Milton.Ever since she had cured Milton's headache, Milton had treated her like a granddaughter.If it weren't for her listening to Delbert and going to Imperium to take care of Vicky, Harriet wouldn't have had a chance to marry Delbert.Unfortunately, Harriet had regained her intelligence. She might not be easy to deal with. Even so, Tara was not ready to give up the position that originally belonged to her.The reason she asked Milton to appoint her to work at the Carlson Group was to get close to Delbert.She deliberately wore a white suit, standing proudly outside the exquisitely decorated CEO's office with a stack of documents in her hand.In fact, this outfit had a hidden agenda. As long as she adjusted her collar, Delbert would see her cleavage.With her face and figure, she didn't believe Delbert would not fall for her.'Whi
Chapter 348Tara froze at Delbert's words, and anger crept onto her face.She didn't expect Delbert to look down on her like that.Even so, she would not give up easily."I'm sorry!" Tara quickly composed herself and stepped forward.She took out a document and placed it in front of the focused Delbert."Mr. Delbert, this is the company's upcoming cooperation plan. The representative from the other company will come this afternoon at 3 o'clock to discuss cooperation matters with us," she said.This was a cooperation that Tara had arranged before joining the Carlson Group.She believed that it would impress Delbert.However, she was wrong.Delbert was about to say something when his phone rang.It was Cory calling.Ten minutes ago, at the Munoz Group."Ready to apologize now?" Harriet glared at Trevor.She looked lovely, even when she was angry.But the broom in her hand was not lovely at all. It made Trevor yelp in pain.The employees looked on, and only Cory was torn.
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
