Chapter 352"I'm not angry." Harriet pouted."That's good!" Delbert said.Captivated by Harriet's blush, he wanted to kiss her, but Harriet pushed him away."You can't kiss me in my territory," she said.But Delbert folded her in his arms. He bent down to sniff her unique scent and softly spoke. "Are you serious?"Amused by his coyness, Harriet burst into laughter.Delbert's cuteness was simply irresistible.In the end, she could only let him kiss her.Harriet's face burned. Delbert held onto her and leaned closer to her ear."You look so cute when you blush," he murmured.His hot breath assailed her ear, sending a tingling sensation through her.Delbert was getting better at coaxing her.Although it was already afternoon, Delbert didn't return to the Carlson Group but stayed there with Harriet.Blake learned about Delbert's visit. In the past, he would have come to fawn over Delbert, but he didn't dare go to see Delbert that day.Yesterday, after he sent the intimate pi
Chapter 353"Alright! It's your call!" Delbert agreed, putting his hands on the steering wheel.The car then sped toward the hospital.Before long, they arrived at their destination.Their footsteps echoed through the corridor.When they arrived at Trevor's ward, the voices of two men came from inside."Mr. Trevor, how did you get injured this time? Did you provoke another married woman and get beaten up by her husband?" Gerard Hanson teased Trevor.He was Trevor's friend, and at that moment, he was dressing Trevor's wounds.Lying on the bed, Trevor grumbled, "That's nonsense! I was beaten up by my cousin-in-law."Gerard looked incredulous and half-jokingly asked, "Why did she hit you? And how could a girl beat you up like this?""How would I know?" Trevor complained, "Consider Delbert unlucky to marry such a woman! She is beautiful yet violent."Outside the ward, Delbert listened and narrowed his eyes.Trevor was bold enough to talk behind Harriet's back. He deserved anoth
Chapter 354Trevor had been traumatized. As long as Harriet was within a meter of him, he felt the pain in his back hurt again."Come on! I'm already in such a state. Even if you're still mad, you don't have to do this!" he grumbled.Harriet smirked. "Am I that kind of person? I'm just worried about you."I heard you call me violent. Well then, let me gently apply medicine to you," she said, dragging her voice."No need! I can do it myself," Trevor anxiously stammered.He had no idea what Harriet was thinking, but the shock during the day still lingered."Stay still!" Harriet pulled a long face.Trevor trembled, put his crossed fingers on his chest, and prayed for himself.Harriet found his actions amusing.She smiled and started to treat the wound on Trevor's back."Am I gentle now?" she asked.She suddenly exerted force, pressing the cotton swab onto the wound and rotating it.Trevor groaned inwardly, knowing that Harriet was up to no good.Gritting his teeth, he endure
Chapter 355Trevor listened to Harriet's soft words and chewed them over. She was quite right.He hadn't intended to speak ill of Harriet earlier. He was just standing up for Monica. Now that Harriet had apologized, he couldn't dwell on the matter."It's alright. I'll forgive you since you sincerely apologized," he said, waving his hand.He felt that Harriet wasn't such a bad person after all.Harriet inwardly cursed the brat, but then Trevor grumbled again, "But seriously, how can you be so strong? It hurts like hell when you hit me. It's the first time I've been beaten by a woman and ended up in the hospital. It's humiliating!""It's your own fault, okay? Don't blame me!" Harriet scoffed."Seriously?" Trevor complained."You are one ignorant kid," Harriet said.Trevor wanted to retort, but with Delbert present, he didn't dare to be impudent.His old wounds hadn't healed yet, and he didn't want new ones.As they talked, Delbert was ignored and unhappily frowned.Harriet us
Chapter 356 As he watched her just-healing wound about to be torn open by Delbert's rough handling, Trevor quickly turned to Harriet for help."Harriet, help me. I'm going to die at Delbert's hands," he shouted, disregarding his reputation.Compared to his life, it meant nothing.Harriet narrowed her eyes and spoke to Delbert. "Okay, that's good enough. Let's go home. I'll cook for you."Although she couldn't cook at all, Trevor's plea for help pleased her. She decided to show mercy and save him.Trevor cried out in his mind, 'What's wrong with this couple? Why do they always take it out on me?'Delbert snorted and set the alcohol aside. Then he stood up and left with Harriet, caring nothing about Trevor.Trevor was relieved.He didn't expect Harriet to save him.He decided to treat Harriet like his sister.As something suddenly occurred to him, Delbert turned back with a cotton swab in his hand."If you dare to talk behind Harriet, provoke her, or let her touch you again,
Chapter 357Harriet resembled a proud black swan. Her beauty was beyond words.Blake welcomed her at the entrance, leading a group of executives."Harriet, you look stunning today," he said with a fake smile.Originally, he thought Delbert would come together with Harriet, but to his surprise, it was Darryl accompanying her.He thought Delbert had already gotten rid of Darryl.'What is Delbert thinking? He turns a blind eye to Harriet's love affairs?' Blake thought.If Delbert refused to get rid of Darryl, he would do it.Once Darryl was out of the picture, Harriet couldn't pose much of a threat to him.In the end, the Munoz Group would be under his control.The banquet began, and Harriet went on stage to give a speech."Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's inauguration ceremony and the charity dinner. Regarding what happened with the Munoz Group before, I deeply regret it," she started.She remained calm, her eyes filled with reminiscence.Delbert watched unblinking
Chapter 358Delbert dressed up in disguise today, but it was a look put together by Harriet. She recognized the lady as someone who married a rich man and went beyond herself."I'm fine," Delbert said calmly.Deep down, he was delighted by Harriet's protection.The lady was rendered speechless. Harriet gave her a disdainful glance and led Delbert to leave.The lady was not satisfied. Under Blake's instruction, she deliberately spread rumors at the banquet that Harriet had betrayed Delbert and was having an affair with Darryl.Delbert took a break to answer a phone call outside.After exchanging pleasantries with several business partners, Harriet sat alone at the dining table and drank champagne, one glass after another.From time to time, some of the elites would gossip about the secrets between wealthy families. Harriet listened casually.At that moment, they were gossiping about the rumor that the wealthy lady had just maliciously spread."Guys, do you know that Harriet re
Chapter 359"Mrs. Carlson, nice to meet you! I am your admirer. May I have a drink with you?" said the man.Harriet sneered, placed the champagne the man offered on the nearby table, and left without sparing a glance at him.The people around them witnessed it and started approaching Harriet to show their interest.They had heard the malicious rumors spread by that lady earlier and believed that Harriet was into handsome young men. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seduce Harriet, as being able to sleep with Delbert's wife was a fatal attraction for them.But their presence only made Harriet sick.She turned them down, only to fall into the vortex of rumors.The ladies nearby sneered at her, thinking that Harriet was smart enough to know that men didn't like easy prey. She was pretending to be pure and playing hard to get.These mocking voices were heard by Harriet.But instead of getting angry, she smiled and continued her way toward the exit.In her last l
