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 361Even men couldn't bear the pain, not to mention that wealthy lady."Ouch! It hurts! Are you blind?" she screamed in pain."I'm really sorry!" Harriet said.But she showed a look as if saying, "It serves you right!""Do you know who I am? I am the most famous ballet dancer in Meawood City. My feet are more precious than your whole being. How dare you step on me?" snapped the lady."Mrs. Green, why did you put your foot under my shoes?" Harriet sneered.Mrs. Green couldn't believe that Harriet was so sharp, and she turned livid.Since Delbert wasn't present, she straightened her neck and scoffed, "Harriet, even if you're amazing, you're just a woman who pleases men with your body. Without Mr. Carlson's favor, what are you?"In terms of background and status, I'm much higher than you. Even Clifton has to show me respect. I need you to apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll expose your love affair to Mr. Carlson and ruin your reputation."Harriet sneered in response."What
Chapter 362Mrs. Green intended to fight back, but Harriet grabbed her neck and pinned her down on the table."What are you doing?" Mrs. Green snapped.She had never been treated so rudely in her life. "If you dare hurt me, I'll make sure you suffer like hell."She never expected Harriet to be so tough.Harriet remained silent and emotionless.Behind them, those wealthy women looked at each other, but none of them dared step forward.Those men also watched with amusement instead of stepping in. Even Mr. Green had no intention of rescuing his wife.Delbert remained composed in his seat.He believed in Harriet's ability to handle the matter and gave her the stage.When she needed him, he would be there.Harriet picked up a fork from the table and stabbed it fiercely toward Mrs. Green's face.The silver fork just missed Mrs. Green's ear and plunged into the solid wood table, causing a piercing scream from Mrs. Green and everyone else in the room.Harriet looked at the frighte
Chapter 363The Mirror Ball was named after an ornate mirror from the mid-century. It was set on the ceiling of the banquet hall.Legend had it that the mirror was crafted by sixteen top craftsmen.It looked unremarkable, but the moment a spotlight shone on it, everyone in the room felt like they were in heaven.This mirror used the principles of optical refraction to the extreme. It not only enhanced the setting but also provided excellent lighting for the dancers.Therefore, it had always been a coveted place for the elite ladies of Meawood City.Before the ball began, Harriet went to the bathroom.When she came out, she took the opportunity to tidy up her dress and powder her nose.She changed into a purple dress and pushed open the door to the banquet hall. Once again, everyone was impressed by her elegance and beauty.Under the radiant light of the mirror, the unique and intricate details of the fabric of her dress were revealed.Her purple dress shimmered like rippling
Chapter 364"Let go! I won't repeat it!" Harriet demanded.Mr. Green refused to comply. "I just won't let go. Ouch!"Before he could finish his words, Harriet twisted his wrist and threw him to the ground."Honey!" Mrs. Green was taken aback."How dare a poor girl like you hit me? I'm going to teach you a lesson," Mr. Green roared.He got up from the ground and rolled up his sleeve, ready to hit Harriet.But before he could land a punch on Harriet's face, someone knocked him over."Who the hell did this?" Mr. Green cursed.He looked up in anger, only to see Darryl standing in front of him."Oh, I know you. How dare an insignificant assistant like you lay a finger on me?" Mr. Green barked."Open your eyes and take a good look at me!" Delbert took off his glasses, his eyes glinting with coldness."M-Mr. Carlson!" Mr. Green wimped out as soon as he recognized Delbert.He never expected that Harriet's assistant would be Delbert.Not only him, but everyone else at the scene was shocked. Bla
Chapter 365Harriet glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Green. "I'm a petty person."Delbert chuckled, turning to instruct Cory. "Take care of the rest.""Yes, sir!" Cory nodded and went to carry out the order.Mr. and Mrs. Green were dragged away by the bodyguards. The music was played, and the Mirror Ball began.Delbert stepped forward and grabbed Harriet's wrist. "I just did you a big favor. Aren't you going to thank me?"Harriet stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously. "I never asked you to help me.""Anyway, I've helped you, and you should thank me," Delbert playfully said.Harriet looked around. Luckily, the ball had begun and everyone was dancing, so they didn't notice what was happening over there."What reward do you want?" Harriet asked."Dance with me!" Delbert replied, wrapping his arm around Harriet's waist and yanking her into his arms.Harriet bumped into his chest and looked up at his deep eyes.Her coyness captivated Delbert.He looked at her blushing ears and s
Chapter 366Fortunately, Harriet had only scraped her elbow. Even so, Delbert was still very concerned.He carefully picked up Harriet and tightened his grip upon hearing her grunt.He blamed himself for failing to protect her again."I'm fine. It doesn't hurt. Don't worry," Harriet whispered.Delbert was touched, and his eyes became misty.He took a deep breath to calm down before taking Harriet to the car. Cory hurried over and started the car.Soon, they arrived at the hospital.Delbert rushed in, followed by Cory and a group of bodyguards.The doctor thought that something serious had happened and quickly prepared the emergency room.A nurse measured Harriet's blood pressure while another doctor examined her wound.After a careful examination, the doctor said it was just a scratch and not serious at all. Only then did Delbert heave a sigh of relief."I told you it didn't hurt." Harriet sat up, hugged the trembling Delbert, and comforted him.He took her into his arms a
