"Cory will stay here tonight."

Delbert's eyes landed on Cory beside him.

It was self-evident.

He was afraid that Cory might do something to Monica.

Harriet understood his intentions and could only accept it resignedly in the end.

Afterward, Delbert added in a flat tone, "After all, an outsider in the house is hard to guard against. With you taking care of Monica, I won’t have worries."

Cory was speechless.

Delbert was talking about him!

Harriet couldn't help but stifle a laugh. She didn't expect that Delbert would actually be concerned about that. It was really funny.

"Alright, I’ll take good care of Monica. You can rest assured and go to sleep."

Of course, there was still the goodnight kiss every night, and Harriet remembered it well.

She beckoned Delbert over, and he leaned in with his face.

Harriet took the opportunity to lightly kiss his cheek.

Cory was startled.

That was too much!

Clearly, he wasn’t single any longer, but he still felt envious when they showed off a

    Harriet rolled her eyes, "Monica, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm willing to sleep with you? It's only because you got drunk last night that I was forced to stay and take care of you.""I got drunk because of you!" Monica pouted and said stubbornly, "Besides, I didn't ask you to take care of me!"Harriet felt very helpless. It seemed that the drunk Monica was more adorable, as she told the truth."Yeah, yeah, it's all my fault for insisting on taking care of you and enduring your behavior of snatching my quilt at night. By the way, your sleeping posture is really terrible!"Harriet retorted mercilessly.Come on! Let's hurt each other. She was good at it too!Looking at her disgusted expression, Monica tried hard to remember, but she had drunk too much and had fragmented memories. Memory search failed, but she didn't agree with Harriet's last words."Hey, Harriet, don't make wild accusations just because I got drunk last night. My sleeping posture is as beautiful as S

    "Harriet, are you awake?""It's time for breakfast!"All of a sudden, a knock came from outside the door. Delbert, Cory, and Trevor were standing outside the door, calling for them to come out for breakfast.Hearing such a commotion from inside the room, Delbert was somewhat worried, thinking that something might be wrong. As soon as he pushed the door open, he only saw Harriet and Monica pulling each other's hair and refusing to let go. "Harriet, Monica, you two... are really energetic early in the morning..." Al of them were surprised by the scene. Trevor couldn't help but comment with a smile on his face."Harriet, let me go first!" Monica also felt embarrassed. "I won't!" "I'll count to three. We'll let go together!" They both counted together, but in the end, neither of them let go. Was that the tacit understanding between women?The three grown-up men were all stunned. In the end, it was Delbert who coldly spoke up, and the two finally stopped fighting. W

    "I certainly want revenge, but look at me now. My hand is crippled. How can I deal with them?"At this point, Vernon's face was full of ferocity.But invisibly, he was obviously no longer blaming Lula, because compared to that, seeking revenge against Harriet and Delbert was his most urgent matter at the moment."Even if your hand is crippled, it can be healed. Vernon, with me here, we can deal with them together, alright?"Lula coaxed persuasively.After a moment of silence, Vernon nodded."I was too kind before. I spared Harriet's life. If I had known today, I shouldn't have been soft and let Harriet show off in front of me!"Vernon's eyes were bloodshot. He never wanted his self-esteem to be trampled on again.Anyway, he had nothing left now. He was willing to die together with Delbert and Harriet."What do you want to do?""I swear not to live if this revenge isn’t avenged!"For the first time, Lula saw in Vernon's eyes not only desire but also overwhelming hatred.Her

    When Harriet saw the Twitter post with Vernon and Lula's photo, she looked mad too.Curious Cory also went to ask Monica about it.Monica replied angrily, "It's Vernon and Lula again. They are together now and even posted an official announcement on Twitter!"Monica's eyes were about to pop out. "You showed me this during dinner and it ruined my appetite."Trevor also cursed, "Most of the comments under this Twitter post are criticizing them. I don't know where they got the courage to sneak around together and even post it to disgust people. Have they no shame?"Trevor had never seen such shameless people before.In response, Delbert didn’t make any comments and continued to eat elegantly and calmly.As long as Harriet didn't care about Vernon's affairs, why should he care so much?In his eyes, Vernon was no different from a clown."Flies don't bite seamless eggs. These two are really a perfect match! I think Lula wants to be the second Nora!"Trevor continued to mutter, wi

    Outside in the corridor, Cory informed Monica about Delbert's decision to send him to the subsidiary in Agral City as the general manager."Monica, Mr. Delbert gave me the opportunity to be the general manager of the subsidiary in Agral City for a year. I'm leaving for Agral City soon."Cory handed Monica the appointment letter given to him by Delbert.Upon hearing that they were going to be separated, Monica burst into tears."Monica, d-don't cry. I'll be back in a year."Seeing her tears, Cory panicked completely and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her.But the more he said that, the sadder Monica cried."Why does it have to be a whole year? Cory, I don't want to be apart from you. I'll go talk to Delbert. It's because of him that you're being forced! I don't want you to go to Agral City!"Monica said and wanted to go find Delbert to argue over that.Cory hurriedly stopped her. This time, it was his own decision."Monica, I volunteered. I want to become better, I want to ha

    "Really?"In just an instant, Monica's tears stopped.Harriet was speechless.Why did she feel like she was being tricked?Afterward, the four of them went to the airport together.Delbert was giving Cory instructions about the specifics of the trip to Agral City, while Harriet and Monica were conspiring about something on the side, which Delbert paid no attention to.It was almost time to board the plane, so Cory wanted to say goodbye to Monica properly once more, but when he turned around, she was gone."Miss Harriet, where's Monica?" Cory asked Harriet, a bit worried.Harriet looked innocent and harmless, "I don't know. Maybe she couldn't bear to part with you and went off to cry somewhere."Cory didn't suspect anything."Then from now on, please take care of Monica for me."It was time to board the plane, and after speaking, Cory reluctantly headed to the boarding gate with his luggage.He was full of regret for not being able to say goodbye properly to Monica, but once

    Harriet made a shushing gesture to Trevor, signaling him to be quiet, then answered the call and put it on speakerphone."Hello, Harriet, it's me."As expected, the voice that spoke up was Lula's."Speak up if you have something to say. No nonsense!"Harriet knew Lula must hate her to death by now.This sudden call must mean Lula had hatched some new plan against her, so there was no need for pleasantries."You must know about my official announcement of my relationship with Vernon?"On the other end of the line, Lula said that with a hint of smugness in her tone that made Harriet think she was insane for flaunting this in her face.What was there to show off?That they were a perfect shameless match made for each other?But Lula didn't notice Harriet's disgust and continued, "Vernon and I want to thank you. If you hadn't staged that scene back then, allowing our relationship to become public, we wouldn't have confirmed our true love for each other. So, we'd like to invite yo

    After getting the address, Trevor left early to stake out the café where Lula and Harriet had agreed to meet.The second floor of this café was a hotel.Trevor seemed to understand Lula's intentions."This woman definitely doesn't have good intentions."He was muttering to himself when he saw Lula entering through the door.She was followed by two men and a woman, one of whom was Vernon.He quickly ducked his head down and spied on them secretly.Fortunately, Lula didn't notice Trevor's presence.The four of them sat down together. While Harriet hadn’t yet arrived, Lula ordered four cups of coffee in advance.It all seemed normal, but soon after Vernon drank his coffee, he collapsed onto the table."What should we do next?" Seeing Vernon pass out, the man and woman asked Lula.Lula answered calmly, "A room upstairs has been prepared. Here is the key card. In a bit, I'll send the other woman up too. Now, drag him up to the room.""Okay!"After they nodded, they dragged Vern

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.

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.

"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
