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
Chapter 360The ladies in the banquet hall, upon witnessing this scene, thought that Harriet was getting too close to Vernon. They couldn't help but mock her.However, things didn't go as expected.In the face of Vernon's anger, Harriet smirked even more disdainfully."You're just a loser, Vernon. You're unworthy of talking to me like this," she said.She shoved Vernon away, grabbed a bottle of champagne from the nearby table, and poured it all over his head."How dare you?" Vernon fumed, intending to hit her.But before he could lay a hand on Harriet, he was knocked over by a man in black-framed glasses."How dare you touch her? Do you have a death wish?" Delbert shielded Harriet and glared at Vernon.He had been absent for just a while, and Vernon took his chance to bully Harriet. It was outrageous.When more and more guests noticed the commotion, Harriet led Delbert to leave."Don't mind him! Let's go!" she said.Vernon came to his senses and got to his feet. He watched
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
