"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
"If any of you dare to touch me, I’ll make sure you regret it... Ouch!"The bodyguards couldn't be bothered to listen to Vernon's nonsense and immediately set upon him with punches and kicks. Soon, his left hand was disabled, and Vernon was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. He was barely conscious.At the same time, at a corner of the brightly lit alley, a pair of resentful eyes were closely watching everything that was happening."Harriet, why? Why are you always so lucky? Why do so many people always stand by your side and protect you?"With trembling shoulders and eyes full of uncontrollable hatred, Lula gritted her teeth and seethed with anger.If it hadn't been for Harriet's design at Flavor Fusion that exposed the situation between her and Vernon, causing her to lose Marc's favor and leaving her with nothing now, how could she have ended up in such a situation?Although Marc never said a word to her afterwards, he silently took back all the rights and connec
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
