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
Chapter 367When Harriet and Delbert returned to the island, the family doctor was already waiting in the hall.Under Delbert's instructions, the family doctor thoroughly examined Harriet and bandaged the wound on her elbow. Delbert didn't let the doctor leave until he confirmed that Harriet was fine.After leaving the house, the family doctor couldn't help but take a deep breath.In all the years he had been serving the Carlson family, he had never seen Delbert so nervous before.Fortunately, he hadn't made any mistakes earlier.Harriet meant everything to Delbert. If he made any mistakes, he would be in great trouble."I'm hungry," Harriet said, throwing herself into Delbert's arms.Delbert stiffened and said softly, "I'll cook for you."Rubbing her head, he added, "If you're tired, lie down and rest for a while. I'll let you know when the food is ready."He was amazed by how cute Harriet was.However, as he turned around to let Opal get the apron, the smile on his face wa
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
