"Let's get out of here quickly. It's too scary. I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight.""Yeah, yeah, did that person have a knife in his hand? It was so frightening. His expression looked like he wanted to eat someone."Hearing comments from the girls, Harriet sensed trouble. There might be someone frightening ahead.She quickly turned around to go back another way but fate had other plans.Suddenly, a tall shadow fell before her eyes. The man held a sickle and at first glance looked like the Grim Reaper himself."Harriet, I finally found you!""You've made me suffer greatly. Tonight, I won't let you leave alive!"The man's voice was hoarse to the extreme as if squeezed out from deep within his throat.The voice sounded familiar, but Harriet couldn't immediately recall who it was.Swallowing nervously, she had silver needles at hand. Although she could face this man alone, he had a weapon!Harriet's feet trembled slightly as she lowered her head trying to ignore the towering
"Lula is dead. Nora is sentenced to life imprisonment. What do you think your own end will be?"Harriet's hands were tightly bound behind her back, her body twisted lying on the back seat of the car, but there was not a trace of fear on her face, only a sneer."Do you think I'm still afraid of these things now? Harriet, all I want now is to torment you. The more pain you feel, the happier I am!"Vernon's sharp laughter echoed in the car, sending chills down Harriet's spine.Vernon had gone mad!He was completely insane!Harriet didn't know what to say anymore and simply shut up. But Vernon kept laughing, his laughter still as chilling and sinister as ever.It wasn't until Vernon had laughed enough that Harriet felt her suspended heart finally settle down. Then she began to secretly survey her surroundings to see if there was anything she could use to save herself.As she was pondering her options, Vernon's chilling voice suddenly came from the front."Harriet, I advise you n
"You!"Vernon was still somewhat taken aback."Too bad, no matter how much you hate me, you can't kill me!"Harriet's face was calm. The shard of glass in her hand seemed fragile but in her grasp, it became a deadly weapon.She didn’t want to be cruel, but why, why wouldn't these people leave her alone? Why were they always provoking her?!After a moment of panic, Vernon sneered and said, "Heh, Harriet, do you think I'm still afraid of death now?"Harriet paused. He was right. He really wasn't afraid to die now."Harriet, put down the glass shard. Let me take you to the destination. You'll have more time to think of a way out. But if you stab that glass into my neck now, sorry but right next to us is a cliff. I'll go down with you. We'll die together!"Vernon's words carried a ruthless edge. He seemed truly prepared to die with Harriet.Harriet was speechless.The car sped along the cliff's edge in the dark night, almost like racing, going close to the boundary several times
Harriet didn’t know what to say.Even if Delbert had connections everywhere in Meawood City, he couldn't find her in just half an hour.She didn't even know where she was. Just considering Vernon's driving speed earlier, it had taken more than half an hour to get here. How could Delbert and others possibly find her within half an hour without knowing her location?Vernon sat silently by the door, his lips tightly sealed.He wasn't worried about Harriet running away. There was only one path down the mountain and all other directions were sheer cliffs. No one would run blindly into danger.Harriet held the phone and thought for a moment before deciding to call the police.After making the call, she sat down next to Vernon with a dejected expression."Done calling? You have twenty minutes left. Don't you want to make more calls? For instance, you haven't contacted Delbert yet."Vernon glanced at her and seeing her mood was low, he asked with a sneer.The more clueless Harriet w
After hearing Harriet's words, Vernon was momentarily stunned. He didn’t expect Harriet to have such deep feelings for Delbert.But she had initially fallen in love with him!Only at this moment did Vernon realize what he had missed in the past.Unfortunately, before he could ponder any further, time was up."Time's up. Off you go."Harriet was silent.Her silver needles were also in action. Even if there was only one in ten million chance, she hoped to survive and see Delbert again.Vernon took steps toward her, while Harriet stepped back.In front of her was Vernon holding a sickle with a twisted and fierce expression, and behind her was an unfathomable cliff.If forced to choose, Harriet would fight against Vernon.Slowly squatting down, she felt around on the ground for a stick, then clutched it tightly in her hand in a defensive stance."Vernon, there's still time for you to stop what you’re doing!"Vernon sneered and said, "Harriet, as I said, I only give you half an
"Harriet!!!" Harriet heard a voice so familiar that it was deeply ingrained in her soul, then everything went black as she passed out completely.If Harriet had been awake at that moment, she would have seen the man she longed for rushing towards her without hesitation and care for his image.He held her nervously as they got into the car. He drove quickly to the hospital, his body covered in blood.But he didn't care about it at all. His eyes and heart were full of only her.The moment Delbert saw Harriet, he felt that his heart almost stopped beating.When he saw her lying on the ground covered in blood, the fury in him was uncontrollable, almost enough to destroy the whole world.The clear pain in his heart made him feel like he was about to lose her.‘Harriet, I won't allow anything bad to happen to you!!!’At the hospital."Mr. Delbert..."The cold light beneath Ben's gold-rimmed glasses was evident as he saw his boss standing rigidly at the entrance of the operating
Harriet knew Delbert was worried about her. She opened her mouth and, despite the pain in her throat, managed to utter several syllables with difficulty."I‘m—fine!"It wasn't until then that Harriet noticed both of Delbert's eyes were swollen.He rarely looked so disheveled, and each time it was because of her.After trying to say something again and again, Harriet suddenly realized that her voice was hoarse and her throat was sore."Great, I’m glad you're fine," Delbert responded with a voice just as hoarse."Delbert, I'm okay... sorry... I made you worry."If it hadn't been for her recklessness in going out alone, she wouldn't have encountered Vernon and been kidnapped by him. Delbert was very worried about her safety.With red eyes, Delbert shook his head, "No. Harriet, it's not your fault!"Then the others also expressed their concern for Harriet. However, due to the wounds on her body and the sedative effects of the antibiotics in the IV drip, Harriet didn't have the s
At that moment, he felt as though his heart had stopped beating. A multitude of icy chills sprouted within him, and a suffocating sense enveloped him.He dared not think about what he would do if Harriet had really been killed by Vernon... If he lost Harriet again, he might kill himself too!With that thought, Delbert abruptly closed his eyes again, casting the idea aside.No!As long as he was there, nothing would happen to Harriet!In this life, even at the cost of his own life, he would protect her well!And the greatest threat to her wasn't Nora or Vernon but someone lurking in the shadows behind them.The mysterious power from Imperium – he wouldn’t let that person off!Anyone who dared to harm Harriet deserved death!Afterward, Delbert cleaned himself up properly before heading to the company. After dealing with all matters, he set off for the hospital to see Harriet.But when he reached the door of her ward, he found that he lacked the courage to enter.Because it w
