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
"N-Nothing at all," Monica said, her voice gradually fading.Delbert then turned to question Cory, "And you?!"Even though Delbert carefully protected Monica from being stolen away by outsiders, he unexpectedly found that his own man stole her heart in the end!"Well, Mr. Delbert, things aren't as you think. Actually... well, I might as well just confess. It’s as you think..."After thinking for a long while, Cory felt that he had nothing to argue about and could only admit it.After all, he knew very well what kind of temper Delbert had. Casuistry would only make things worse for him."Um, Delbert, don't be angry. Monica has just escaped from death. We can talk about this later."Seeing Delbert's face darken slightly, Trevor quickly tried to smooth things over and wanted to brush this matter aside.But the more they tried to brush it aside, the worse Delbert's expression became.Trevor had to seek help from Harriet with his eyes.Harriet could never expect Cory to be with
Harriet raised her eyebrow towards Monica, then gave Delbert a glance, indicating that Monica should take the initiative to persuade him now. No one knew better than Harriet that Delbert, despite his cold face, had a soft heart.Monica understood the signal and took a deep breath, silently encouraging herself. She knew that being with Cory wasn’t something she could take lightly. She had to explain everything to Delbert.After preparing herself mentally, she finally gathered the courage to speak to Delbert."Delbert, please don't be mad at me... I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight. I'll explain everything then!"Meanwhile, Trevor and Gerard had just finished washing the dishes in the kitchen and heard Monica's invitation for a big dinner."Hooray, Monica, long live Monica! It's been a while since I've had a big dinner. I’m gonna help myself as much as possible today!"After saying that, Trevor cheerfully put his arm around Cory's shoulder and said, "Future brother-in-law
"The last time I was buried alive by Nora. Cory appeared and saved me. He even carried me down from the top of the mountain. It was at that moment that I fell in love with him!"Anyway, I don't care. I want to be with him. Even if you oppose it, Delbert, it's useless!"Monica said emotionally and stood up.Delbert's beautiful eyes turned cold as he glared at Cory."And you? Do you have anything to say?"Cory was momentarily speechless but at this point, he didn't want to back down. He raised his glass and took a gulp."Delbert, that day I also fell in love with Miss Monica at first sight. I hope you can give me a chance!"Alcohol emboldened people. As he expressed his feelings, he clenched his fists and was extremely nervous.Because if Delbert disagreed, he might never see Monica again in the future.But seeing Monica stand up for herself, he must do something at this moment!He tightly held Monica's hand, and they gave each other strength.Delbert remained silent, but
It was clear that she was quite sincere."Harriet, let me put it first. Don't regret your decision later."At this point, Trevor suddenly leaned over and whispered. He knew very well about his own sister's alcohol tolerance.Besides, Monica could be a completely different person once she got drunk...Harriet didn't understand what he meant by that, but Monica had already finished a bottle of strong liquor. Her face turned red, and even the lights in the restaurant couldn't hide it. Her gaze was unfocused too.She pointed at Harriet and giggled foolishly, "Oh, why are there two Harriet?""Monica, are you... drunk?"Harriet didn't expect that she would be affected by just one bottle of alcohol.That was a mistake!A big mistake!"Just a few bottles of alcohol. Can they really make me drunk? It's a joke!"Monica's boastful words were said to thin air.Was she so out of it that she couldn't recognize people anymore?Harriet was speechless at the sight!"Harriet!""Huh?"
In the end, Cory could only coax Monica softly, "Yes, I love you. But be good. Let's go home first, alright?""No, no, I want you to hug me. Hurry up and hug me. Why don't you hug me? Oh, no, you don’t love me. You don’t love me!"Cory felt very helpless and had to hold her first."Alright, alright, don't move around."This was the first time he had seen Monica drunk, and he hadn't expected it to be so difficult.Seeing her stumbling like this, he was afraid she would fall, so he held her tightly.But drunk Monica wouldn’t listen to him, refusing to sit properly in the car."Cory, I don't want to go back. I want to drink more. I want to continue drinking!"Monica refused to go back no matter what and even wanted to return to the restaurant to drink with Harriet. Cory couldn't stop her.As a result, when she turned her head, she accidentally bumped into a man who was also drunk."Who are you? Are you blind? You bumped into me!"Monica held her sore head and complained with an
How dared the guy to scold Monica as "b*tch" in front of her? He probably didn't know that he was digging his own grave! Since Harriet was Monica's cousin-in-law, she absolutely couldn’t allow anyone to bully Monica like this! Harriet rolled up her sleeves and went forward. Without saying a word, she slapped Vernon. When the slap landed, and Vernon looked at her resentfully, she suddenly realized that the man was actually... Vernon?! Harriet immediately regretted it. She should have slapped him more times!"How dare you hit me?" Vernon was stunned, unable to react. However, in a daze, he vaguely recognized that the woman in front of him seemed to be Harriet. "So what?" Harriet said coldly. Her palm was slightly red. She had slapped him very hard just then, and even now her wrist still felt a bit painful. But considering that he was the disgusting Vernon, she felt she had been too light on him. "Harriet? It's you! Good, you still dare to hit me. You asked for it
"Long live Delbert!" Not only was Harriet satisfied with this result, even Trevor and Gerard were very satisfied and couldn't help but laugh. Hearing their mocking laughter directed at himself, Vernon became even more angry. "Delbert, just because you are the master of the Carlson Group doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. There are laws in Meawood City. Do you think you can make the Morton Group go bankrupt just by a few words? Do you really think you're the king?" Vernon angrily got up from the ground and looked at Delbert who was taller than himself and shouted. The more he talked about that, the angrier he became. He wanted to grab Delbert's collar and vent his anger. However, even when he was sober, he could barely touch Delbert, let alone when he was drunk. Delbert moved slightly to avoid him, and he almost fell to the ground again. "Delbert, don't push it too far!" Vernon suddenly became furious and raised his voice. But Delbert didn't care at all and d
