Chapter 38 A Show

Harriet's scream echoed through the air, causing Delbert to panic.

He swiftly turned around, only to discover that Harriet had dropped her lunch box, while Tucker, the mischievous culprit, sniffed at the fallen egg with great excitement.

Disgusted by the taste, the dog stuck out its tongue and stepped aside.

Harriet groaned at its disrespect for her cooking skills.

Delbert couldn't bring himself to blame the dog.

After all, Tucker was like a son to him.

While fierce at times, Tucker would never do anything to displease Harriet.

Delbert fixed his gaze on Harriet, who looked at the broken lunchbox with a sad expression.

Sensing his gaze, she looked up at him.

Her nose tingled, and her eyelashes trembled as she blinked away the tears.

Within seconds, she transformed into a pitiful figure, crying out loud.

Tears streamed down her fair face, evoking sympathy.

You promised me, but you didn't listen to me. Ahhh...

Just in time!" Colleen's face brightened.She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to deal with Harriet, but now, an unexpected opportunity had presented itself.She believed that once she leveraged her long-standing service and Milton's trust, Delbert would have to punish Harriet and make it right for her.Harriet was just a fool unfavored by Delbert anyway.Colleen got carried away with these thoughts and smiled triumphantly.'Harriet, just wait for your demise!' She thought viciously.Colleen got up and hurried to the hall.As soon as she arrived and laid eyes on Delbert, she pinched her thigh hard, forcing tears to well up in her eyes.She approached him and cried out, "Mr. Delbert, you have to uphold justice for me."However, her voice lured a colossal creature, causing it

Even if she mistreats you, you should bear with it as a servant. How dare you complain to me?"Delbert spat and then commanded, "Get her out and cast her into the sea as fish food!"He disregarded Colleen's existence. The only person who mattered to him was Yvonne.The bodyguards promptly obeyed the order, seizing Colleen and making their way toward the exit.Colleen, panic-stricken, cried out in protest, "Mr. Delbert, no! I've served you for so many years. You can't be so heartless!"Miss Harriet slapped me and demanded I kowtow to her. All the servants witnessed it. If you blame me instead, you'll be scorned by everyone."Having resided with the Carlson family for so long and having been valued by M

I just want her to do her job and take good care of me!"Still holding grudges from her previous life, Harriet had no intention of letting Colleen go so easily.Aware of her intentions, Delbert squinted at Colleen.Colleen trembled in terror, sensing that her future life wouldn't be easy.Her intuition was confirmed when Delbert issued an order. "Colleen, did you hear what Harriet said? From today onwards, you will be responsible for her food, clothing, and daily needs. You will do everything yourself."If she is unsatisfied even in the slightest, the depths of the sea will be your grave.""Yes, Mr. Delbert!" Colleen nodded hastily, hoping for so

Rather, it stemmed from the hope of uncovering the whereabouts of the inheritance left by Harriet's mother.A fleeting shadow passed over Harriet's eyes as she suppressed a dark emotion.Clifton soon emerged before them.He was surprised by Delbert's presence and quickly plastered on a flattering smile."Mr. Delbert, you're home too. Well, I've brought some gifts for you guys, a token of my regard."Compared with his enthusiasm, Delbert remained aloof and indifferent.Clifton felt displeased by the cold reception but dared not show it openly.After all, the man before him was the overlord of Meawood City and the president of Carlson Group.Suddenly, a growling sound broke the tension.Delbert turned toward the sourc

Something urgent has cropped up at home, so I must take my leave. I'll come by another day," he announced hurriedly, forgetting his disguise as he dashed off.Earlier on the phone, Bessie had informed him about an anonymous tip-off to the press, accusing him of tax evasion.Journalists from major media outlets swarmed outside their house, vying for the scoop.This left Clifton feeling flustered.He had executed everything perfectly and had been certain that no one would find out.'Who could be behind this leak?
