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
"Miss Lula, is it true that the videos that surfaced online this morning are real? Did you really spend the night with dozens of men?""Miss Lula, is it true that someone previously revealed that you were involved with Mr. Vernon and Miss Nora's marriage, acting as the other woman? Is this true?""Miss Lula..."The paparazzi threw question after question at Lula, catching her completely off guard and leaving her speechless.In the end, all she could do was repeat one sentence, "I don't know anything."At this moment, Lula's face was as pale as a sheet. Sitting on the ground, she looked like a marionette with its strings cut.In fact, she didn't need to say anything. The marks on her body alone were enough to answer the paparazzi's questions. Even if she tried to argue, there was nothing she could say.This time, she was caught red-handed... She had no room for maneuver...Harriet's move was indeed ruthless! What was worse, Star Entertainment chose to broadcast the news li
