Inside the hall, it had been decorated as a romantic birthday party scene.Hanging from the crystal chandelier above were many blue starlight bundles, which, together with the lights, formed a brilliant blue starry river.Blue was Harriet's lucky color and her favorite color, and the starry river... was also her favorite.When Delbert set up the scene, he must have put his heart into it.But clearly, there was more to it than that. The scene was filled with pink heart-shaped balloons, bright roses, floating ribbons, making the hall seem like a dreamy fairy tale world.In the center of the hall hung a shining sign that read "Harriet, Happy Birthday.""Wow..."Harriet tightly covered her mouth, trying hard to control her emotions.Since her mother's death, she hadn't celebrated her own birthday for many years.She had almost forgotten what it felt like to have a birthday!At this moment, facing the birthday surprise prepared by Delbert himself, she felt a lump in her throat and
Yuri's next move was to lean in close with his scorching breath, gently brushing against Selena‘s ear.The cream from the corner of his lips stuck onto her ear, slowly melting, just as her heart did."Yuri, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"Selena's face blushed with embarrassment. She quickly pushed him away before frantically rubbing her ear, but only smeared the cream all over her hands. As a result, even her hands were scorching hot."Just a joke. Why so serious?"Yuri appeared completely serious, though even he didn't know what had come over him just then. He just suddenly felt like teasing Selena."A joke?" Selena felt ashamed for blushing, somewhat angrily glaring at him, "Yuri, you're dead meat!"The two of them quickly started chasing and play-fighting with each other. Even the atmosphere between Molly and Marc was at a teasingly ambiguous moment. It seemed that ever since Marc found out that it wasn't Molly who drugged him at Nora's birthday party, someth
The R&D department staffer was interrupted by Blake and stopped talking, then glanced at Blake and Harriet."Continue!"Harriet ignored the opinions just expressed by Blake and Jared.They were just two clowns in her eyes. She didn't take them seriously at all!"Harriet, if you decide everything in the company yourself, then what do we need these shareholders for? You might as well make decisions on your own. Why bother having us sit here just to watch you play?"Blake was infuriated by Harriet's attitude of completely disregarding him and ignoring him in front of so many people in the conference room.Jared was startled by Blake's sudden outburst.Coming to his senses, he also spoke up sarcastically, "Harriet, when your parents were still alive, they would show some respect to those present. You're just a girl. Are you trying to unseat all of us?"In just a few words, Jared positioned Harriet against the entire company.If Harriet insisted on continuing the meeting without co
Chapter 421Blake thought that Jerry would firmly stand by his side. After all, he had promised Jerry many benefits. But in the end, Jerry betrayed him.The people sitting below were all making their own plans."Let's have lunch first and continue the meeting in the afternoon," Harriet said, glancing at her watch.The R&D department had been presenting their plan for over two hours already.Although the details were well thought out, if the presentation went on for too long, even the shareholders wouldn't be able to pay attention anymore.It would be better to give them some time to rest.Afterward, the shareholders dispersed."Jerry, don't forget that we're on the same boat," Blake snapped once the door was closed.Harriet had disregarded his reputation and challenged him in front of so many shareholders.And Jerry, who had always been on his side, spoke up for Harriet.Blake couldn't bear it.Unfazed, Jerry turned around and sat in the VP's chair."Blake, you're too naïv
Chapter 422"There's no time like the present. Why don't we do it today and solve the problem for good?" Blake said, revealing his ambition."Is there a suitable opportunity?" Jerry asked, getting up to approach Blake.Even though there was no one else around, they were cautious when discussing secretive matters."There's a celebration party tonight, right?" Blake said.It would be crowded and chaotic, making accidents inevitable.The chairman of Munoz Group could be eliminated by her competitors.Jerry smiled knowingly and straightened up. "Leave this matter to me. Rest assured, from beginning to end, we are on the same side."Blake was more than happy with Jerry's initiative.Not long ago, he caused Harriet to have a car accident.Harriet was unscathed, and he was almost implicated. It would be better to entrust this matter to Jerry.Jerry was always reliable.The celebration party would become Harriet's funeral.She deserved such an end because she wanted to have the Mu
Chapter 423If they couldn't take the opportunity to get rid of Harriet, it would be difficult to do so when Delbert was protecting her."I don't know. I'll go find out," Jerry muttered, heading in Harriet's direction.Suddenly, something thudded on the floor, causing a round of screams.Harriet had just reached the doorway when she heard a loud noise. She turned around, only to see a horrible scene.Before Harriet could make out what was happening, a pair of warm hands covered her eyes.A low, hoarse voice sounded in her ears. "Don't look!"Harriet recognized Delbert's voice and felt relieved."I've seen it," she said.Delbert moved his hands away from her eyes."Who's down there?" Harriet asked.If she hadn't come out to find Delbert earlier, it would have been her standing there being attacked at this moment.Fortunately, Delbert was standing behind her, which gave her a little comfort."I don't know," Delbert said, sensing the quiver in her voice.He took her hands.
Chapter 424"Murder?" Delbert asked.He had been holding Harriet's hand since they left the hotel."There is not enough evidence yet. It is still under investigation. We cannot determine if it was a murder or an accident."Harriet closed her eyes, trying to calm her emotions."If I hadn't gone to find you, I would have been the victim. These vicious people!" Harriet smiled bitterly, squeezing Delbert's hand.Delbert received an important call from Imperium earlier. It involved highly confidential information, so he went out.But so many things happened in such a short time.Feeling scared, Delbert took her in his arms."Fortunately, it wasn't you," he croaked.Harriet couldn't see his face, but she let him hold her as long as he could feel reassured.She knew how upset he was.After a while, Delbert spoke. "Jerry is dead? Could it be related to Blake?"The first person he thought of was Blake. In the entire company, Blake hated Harriet the most and wanted to get rid of her
Chapter 425Blake sat down in his chair, feeling furious.Jared stood up and walked to Blake's side. He looked around to make sure no one was around before whispering, "Did you do that?""So what if we did it? She couldn't find any dirt on me, so she found a way to get rid of my people," Blake spluttered.He was frustrated by Jerry's death and his followers' removal."Shush! Have you gone mad? The walls have ears," Jared said.His reminder brought Blake back to his senses. If he didn't vent his frustration, he would truly go insane.His people were all gone, and Jared only followed him around to enjoy the benefits. Jared couldn't be trusted.All Blake could do was vent his anger, observe the situation, and wait for the next opportunity to get rid of Harriet.After all the struggles, the overall atmosphere of the Munoz Group had undergone a qualitative leap.But Harriet's busy footsteps continued without pause.In this short week, she only slept three hours a day.Now that t
