Chapter 368Opal and the other servants covered their eyes. They sensibly retired and closed the door for Harriet and Delbert.It was inappropriate for them to witness the scene, even though Delbert and Carlson didn't treat them as outsiders.In the kitchen, Delbert deepened the kiss.It was not until Harriet was out of breath that Delbert let go of her."W-What else are you up to?" Harriet's heart was flustered.Delbert picked her up and placed her on the table."I'm going to cook for you," he said, tapping her head.Harriet watched him get busy. Sure enough, a man was the most charming when he was focused.When the food was ready, Delbert carried her upstairs to the bedroom and fed her bite by bite.Harriet stared at him, touched by her tenderness.The distance between them was close, and the air in the kitchen became ambiguous.Concerned about her injury, Delbert restrained his desires.Harriet suddenly reached out her hands, threw herself into his arms, and rubbed agai
Chapter 369Since Delbert's identity had been exposed, he couldn't continue to disguise himself as Harriet's assistant and accompany her to the shareholders' meeting. It was Cory accompanying her."Madam, this is the roster for today's shareholders' meeting," Cory said, handing a document to her."Thanks!" Harriet took it but didn't open it.Although she had taken over the Munoz Group only a few days ago, she knew how many shareholders there were and how much each of them held.The double doors of the conference room were closed, and faint laughter could be heard from inside."It's already this late, and Harriet still hasn't come. Is she too scared to come without Delbert accompanying her?" said someone."Mr. Munoz, why don't we just buy Harriet's shares and let her be at ease as Mrs. Carlson?" another person suggested.Harriet's eyes glinted with coldness.These people were really cunning.She gritted her teeth and pushed open the doors. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint everyone
Chapter 370Jerry hung up the phone and picked up a pen from the table to change his vote. Then he put it in the box and spoke to Blake. "Mr. Munoz, I'm sorry."Blake was confused.Before he could figure out what was going on, another shareholder's phone started ringing.Similar things went on and on until the atmosphere in the meeting room became weird."Now, let me announce the voting results," Cory said, projecting the data onto the screen.Each ballot was certified by the legal department of the Munoz Group.On the slides, the blue bar represented Harriet's support rate, and it was 83%. The red bar represented Blake's support rate, and it was only 10%, with some abstentions."This is impossible!" Blake couldn't accept this result.He had already discussed with the other shareholders that once he became chairman, he would give them many benefits.He was so angry that he didn't even want to pretend anymore. He shouted in anger, slamming the table. "How is it possible that I
Harriet opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, another younger policeman interrupted, "Surveillance cameras around the area are under maintenance, so we can’t see the license plate or the driver right now."After the young policeman finished, Harriet sharply noticed that the older policeman gave him a glare, then he added, "Exactly, that's why it's tricky."Harriet frowned, so was she supposed to accept the result and be hit for nothing?The two policemen also noticed Harriet's stern face in silence. The atmosphere became cold in an instant in the entire reception room."Miss Harriet, please rest assured, we’ll definitely find the hit-and-run driver as soon as possible..."The older policeman said somewhat awkwardly.He sounded sincere.If it hadn't been for their eagerness to tell her that the surveillance cameras were currently under maintenance, and those at the next section's were broken, Harriet might really believe their words."Mr. Delbert, why did you su
"I know you’ll blame me."After a long silence, Delbert's deep voice came through.Harriet couldn't help but laugh, "Delbert, how can you be so adorable!"Did I say I would blame you? And you're admitting your mistake voluntarily?"Since you know you're wrong, then go home and cook for me tonight."Harriet knew that Delbert was worried about her and that was why he stepped in.She didn't want to question him and blame him outright like last time.Since Delbert could change for her sake, naturally she should also change for him.That evening, Delbert indeed agreed to Harriet's request and once again cooked dinner for her.He seemed to have a talent for everything. He had only started cooking a few times but the taste of the food he made was getting better and better.Harriet thought that it wouldn't be long before Opal and the others would be out of a job.In the kitchen, Delbert was neatly rolling up the sleeves of his white shirt. A pink apron worn over his clothes seemed
"Sweetie, of course not!"It was impossible for Delbert to upset Harriet. He quickly enveloped her in his arms and lovingly kissed her twice. "The dishes you make are the tastiest.""Then why won't you let me go?"Harriet pouted again. It seemed that big tears would fall down in a blink of her eyes.How could there be such an adorable creature like her in this world?Delbert felt extremely satisfied at this moment."You're clearly afraid I'll mess it up again, humph! I'm angry now!"Harriet stood with her arms akimbo and her lips pouted, refusing to listen to any more explanations.But how could Delbert not coax her?"Sweetie, they need to practice. These kinds of things should be done by themselves."Harriet didn't believe him at all."Liar!""It's the weekend today. You finally have time to rest. I just want you to relax.""I don’t believe it!""...""All lies!"The smile on Delbert's face widened as he gently rested his chin on her head and one hand caressed her ba
After Delbert finished his call and returned, he found that Harriet had disappeared. He figured she must have sneaked into the kitchen.However, nothing bad happened in the kitchen, so he breathed a sigh of relief."Delbert, tell you what, your cousin Trevor and his close buddy Gerard are acting strangely!"Harriet immediately pulled Delbert aside stealthily as if she had some scandalous news to share."What's wrong?""I think there's chemistry between the two of them," Harriet said with a mysterious look on her face.The term "chemistry" was usually easy to understand, but in this context, Delbert felt like he couldn't quite grasp its meaning."Harriet, what do you mean by 'chemistry' exactly?"Seeing that Delbert was clueless, Harriet decided to educate him thoroughly on what it meant to view relationships through the eyes of a fujoshi.So, she explained to Delbert as clearly and concisely as possible about the intimate interactions between people of the same sex. She also
Harriet shrugged and said, "Really, it's good."Yet their meaningful smiles only confused both men further.What was this couple up to?While the four were dining, Monica and Cory were also having a sweet time together.Today, Monica planned to take Cory to meet her brother, Trevor.But as soon as they arrived at Trevor's apartment door, they heard lively conversation inside."It must be my brother inviting friends over again," said Monica nonchalantly as she walked in with Cory's hand in hers.Unexpectedly, they were both stunned by the scene before them."Delbert... you and Harriet are here too?"Monica and Cory were taken aback by this sudden situation. Their hands not only didn't loosen but gripped each other even tighter.Then everyone at the table turned to look at them as Trevor stood up first and said, "Monica, you're back. I invited Delbert and Harriet over for a visit. Please, have a seat and join us. I cooked today."However, the next second, he saw Monica and Cor
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
