Chapter 423

If 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

    Chapter 426"Do you find this place too shabby?" Marco said, placing the menu on the table."How could that be? I just feel that this place is not suitable for discussing cooperation. Besides, I estimate that a meal here is cheap. It doesn't suit your status," Harriet said, putting the menu aside.Marco burst into laughter and said, "Although this place is not luxurious, it truly satisfies me. I think it's appropriate to discuss cooperation.""I never thought you'd be so down-to-earth." Harriet gave Marco a higher grade in her heart.Wealthy people were used to showing off, and being low-key was commendable.But she forgot a saying. "Never judge a book by its cover!"Although this restaurant was small, the food was delicious.Harriet couldn't help but take a few more bites."Oh, let me see who this is." A sarcastic voice suddenly came, breaking the harmonious atmosphere.Harriet looked up and saw Blake walking toward her.Instead of giving a response, she just lowered her he

    Chapter 427After meeting Blake, Harriet lost her appetite.She was grateful to Marco for defending their reputation and for his actions in having the bodyguards kick out Blake.Otherwise, Blake would have said more offensive words.He was such a pain in the ass.Marco had no objections to Harriet's suggestion. "It's your treat for this meal, and I'll treat you to coffee."Marco regained his smile, but Harriet felt uncomfortable. She felt as though the smile was a mask he wore.Due to Blake's interruption, they hadn't discussed their business cooperation yet, so Harriet could only agree to Marco's request.They went together to a coffee shop recommended by Marco."According to what that man just said, you're already married, and your husband is Mr. Carlson," Marco said as soon as the coffee was served.It was a surprising fact.It was only natural that he didn't know anything about their love story since he had recently arrived in Meawood City.Harriet never liked others pr

    Chapter 428"It's okay! My girlfriend is in a bad mood tonight, and she has drunk a little too much. Let's settle the bill," Marco said as he approached Harriet.He wrapped his arm around her waist and pinched her when no one was watching.It felt as soft as he had imagined. His breathing got heavy, and he was eager to leave and have fun with Harriet.To him, sleeping with Delbert's woman was a blessing.Harriet was weak and unable to speak, but her body was sensitive.She could feel cold sweat all over her body, as if she were about to burn up.She knew that someone had tampered with the drink she had just had.Marco was a hypocritical man.The waitress, charmed by Marco's smile, paid no attention to Harriet's winking. Instead, she quickly took the bill and left.Harriet ground her teeth, but she still couldn't make any sounds.Marco looked around, realizing that no one had noticed the situation. Then he leaned closer to Harriet."Do you know the consequences of what you'v

I'll go take a shower first and then have fun," Marco said, getting up from bed.Harriet breathed a sigh of relief. However, two figures alternately appeared in front of her. She didn't know if it was Delbert or Marco.Marco was certain that Harriet couldn't escape.After all, the effects of the drug had taken hold of her.And he believed that he couldn't rush the process.Harriet was powerless. She could only bite her lips to prevent herself from being consumed by the effects of the drug.Unable to get her stren

    Chapter 430Marco used his fingertips to stroke Harriet's neck. "I might not understand it, but you can compare our skills later. Let's see who is better, me or Mr. Carlson."He laughed out loud and reached out to undo Harriet's clothing.This was the first time that Harriet had felt sick from the inside out.She was on the verge of throwing up.Suddenly, the door opened with a bang.Marco looked over and saw a god-like figure in the doorway. A storm was hidden in his eyes."Who are you? Get out!" Marco snapped.He had recently arrived in Meawood City and had not seen Delbert before.He grabbed his bathrobe, put it on, and stood next to Harriet, staring at Delbert.The cold air around Delbert made Marco's heart tighten.In the next instant, Marco felt a fatal blow to his private parts. He gasped and fell to the ground.A chilling voice rang out. "Drag him out and disable him."The bodyguards quickly carried out Delbert's order. Now Marco was barely conscious.Soon, only D

Marco answered impatiently.It was his assistant calling."Mr. Keller, the price of our stocks has dropped more than 20 points since opening today and is still falling. You should come to the company and take a look," the assistant anxiously said."How could this happen?" Marco stood up, shoc

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.

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

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

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.
