"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
Lula was unaware that the coffee had already been switched by Harriet, thinking Harriet wouldn't know she had used the old-fashioned trick - drugging her coffee."Spill it. Who's really behind Nora?" Harriet went straight to the point."No rush, let's sip and talk," Lula suggested, fearing Harriet's suspicion. She took a sip of her coffee, oblivious to its tampering.Harriet raised an eyebrow and nodded, taking a sip of her coffee as well.It was Americano, not her preferred flavor, and rather bitter.Lula, seeing that, couldn't help but feel a surge of inner triumph, believing her plan was unfolding smoothly.In no time at all, Harriet would be ruined!Seconds later, Lula said again, "Before we get into Nora's matter, aren't you curious why I would suddenly announce my relationship with Vernon on Twitter?"The sole purpose of Lula's actions was to tarnish Harriet's reputation.If Harriet slept with her boyfriend and then got caught in the act by Delbert, Harriet would suffe
While Harriet was busy plotting against Lula, Delbert was getting ready to leave work early.Missing Harriet dearly, Delbert had decided to finish work early today and was being driven home by his chauffeur."Stop the car."Delbert suddenly spoke up after spotting something.The driver promptly stopped the vehicle as Ben Anderson, the secretary sitting in the passenger seat, looked up from a pile of documents and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose."What is it, Mr. Delbert?" Ben asked as he turned his head to follow Delbert's gaze out of the car window.There was a flower shop.Ben couldn't help but frown slightly as he racked his brain trying to figure out Delbert's intentions. Then it hit him like a bolt of lightning.Delbert wanted to buy flowers!And there could only be one person he'd want to send flowers to..."Are you thinking of buying a bouquet for Miss Harriet?" he ventured.Delbert's brows lifted slightly, "Today is the Valentine's Day!"Well then,
Just as the clerk was about to object, she looked up and saw Delbert's features cut into a silhouette by the backlight. He was heart-stoppingly handsome.The clerk's eyes lit up instantly."What is it?"Delbert noticed the clerk's hesitation and frowned slightly, casting a faint look at her.The clerk snapped back to reality and quickly said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have that many in stock right now."Are these for a girl? I can call and have them brought over immediately."Delbert showed a trace of impatience, "Whatever."The clerk: ‘Whatever? And you want 999 roses? Are you burning money or something?’"Sir, if you're just buying casually, I'd personally recommend a potted plant. After all, roses have a very short bloom period.""But I want roses!"Delbert seemed really irritated.Everyone said that a man should buy roses for a girl on the Valentine's Day. Why couldn't this clerk understand that?And why was buying flowers so troublesome?! He would have to have Ben
Ben hurriedly ran away, fearing that Delbert would call him back. He thought it best to flee from such a romantic scene where a couple wanted to be alone.Harriet looked at the ground covered with ostentatious but useless roses. Had it been before, she would never have bought them for their little use. She wasn’t a romantic person, yet she longed for someone to give her a romantic love. It was quite contradictory.But now, with Delbert in her life, she suddenly felt that occasionally wasting money on beautiful things could indeed please her.Harriet bent her head, gently sniffing the rose's fragrance, her face brimming with a happy smile. ‘She’s even more beautiful than flowers.’ Delbert thought to himself."Delbert, thank you for the flowers, I really like them," Harriet said with smiling eyes looking at him.Delbert also smiled gently, "As long as you like them. Harriet, happy Valentine's Day!"...The next morning, Lula woke up confused.Her gaze settled on the bun
Today should have been the day when Harriet was disgraced and kicked out of the Carlson family by Delbert. Instead, it turned into a day worse than death for her!She hated it!A bone-chilling hatred suddenly emerged in Lula's eyes, terrifyingly fierce.She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and slowly walked out.Her original clothes had been torn to shreds by those beasts and thrown on the floor.At this moment, she was eerily silent and calmly took out her phone to call Vernon.After the call was connected, she pressed her brow and gave him her address.She never imagined that at this time, she could only think of him and seek his help.How ridiculous it was!When Vernon arrived, those men were still not awake.He came in and saw that scene. His eyes instantly filled with intense killing intent.He had already learned about Lula's plan from her people yesterday. He didn't know whether to feel relieved that Harriet had spared him or angry that Harriet didn't take him seriousl
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
