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
Once in the study, Cory stood as straight as if he was reporting work as usual, but this time he didn't dare to take a breath.Although Delbert had already agreed in his heart to Cory's relationship with Monica, he felt that his assistant still needed to be trained in order to be worthy of Monica."Cory, do you know what I want to talk to you about?" Delbert said coldly."Mr. Delbert, I think... I should know." Cory replied nervously, "Do you still have doubts about my relationship with Monica?""I feel that you currently don't have the ability to protect Monica. What if this time the danger she has faced isn't from Vernon but from an opponent even more formidable than both you and me?"Playing with the ring in his hand, Delbert wasn’t tough, but still put great pressure on Cory.Cory knew Delbert's concerns and worries. He also realized his own limitations. When the time came, he might not be able to protect her if Monica faced real danger.But... "I’ll do my best! Mr. Delb
