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
Chapter 429Harriet blamed herself for falling for such a petty trick.It was really a mishap.It was a hard lesson.Marco brought Harriet into the hotel room and bore down to kiss her.Harriet was desperate.She had been through so much, but she hadn't expected to end up in Marco's clutches.She gathered all her strength to turn her head, preventing his kiss from landing on her face.Marco was stunned and then laughed."Ms. Munoz, you're naughty, but it's fine. 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
Chapter 431At dawn, Marco endured the discomfort and went to the hospital for a check-up.He didn't want anyone else to know about it.But when he received the report from the doctor, he was filled with anger and crumpled up the paper in his hand."I will get my revenge!" he snarled.The report showed that he would no longer be able to perform certain bodily functions, meaning he was no longer a complete man.All of this was done by Delbert.Even though Delbert was president of the Carlson Group, Marco was determined to seek revenge.Just as he was thinking about how to carry out his plan, his phone rang.In the quiet hospital corridor, the ringing was especially noticeable."Hello?" 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
Chapter 432"Go investigate Harriet and Delbert. Let's find a proper target around them," Marco fiercely said.He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, eager to kill them.The assistant had never seen Marco in such a state before. He quickly nodded in agreement and left.Perhaps due to a sense of duty or purely frightened by Marco, the assistant completed a thorough investigation on Harriet and Delbert within an hour."Ever since Harriet's father, Clifton, went to prison for tax evasion, Harriet became chairman of the Munoz Group. She doesn't get along with her uncle, Blake, and everyone in the company knows it." The assistant detailed the information he had gathered about Harriet to Marco."What about Delbert?" Marco nodded with satisfaction."Sir, you should give up thinking about him. The Carlson family is powerful in Meawood City. They're not someone we can handle," the assistant said.Marco's face darkened, and he looked defiant. "Why can't I deal with the Carlson fami
Chapter 433Marco put on his hypocritical mask again. Those who didn't know him well would be deceived by his handsome appearance."Thank you, Marco, for helping me today. I'll toast to you," Lynda said with a smile, handing the glass to Marco.They clinked glasses and drank it all in one go."Ms. Munoz, please drink less. Even though we know each other, it's still better to be cautious outside," Marco kindly advised her."Just call me Lynda. With you here, I can drink without worries. I'm sure you'll protect me," Lynda said, looking at Marco.Her face was flushed from drinking, making her look very cute.In terms of looks, she was not inferior to Harriet, but Harriet had a stronger aura.If Harriet was a white rose, then Lynda was a wild lily.Marco couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Lynda was as foolish as his assistant had described. This made it easier for him to control her in the future."You bet!" Marco handed the glass to Lynda again, and she finished it without hesita
Chapter 434Under Marco's design, their relationship became increasingly intimate.However, Marco would always stop at the kissing stage.He always used the excuse that he wanted to take full responsibility for Lynda after they got married.Lynda was always fooled by Marco. She didn't doubt his potency, but she became more devoted to him.In recent days, every time she saw Marco sighing, she wanted to find out the reason.This was exactly what Marco wanted."Nowadays, the Munoz Group is one of the top players in artificial intelligence research. But they don't have to be so aggressive and snatch away the cooperation that should have belonged to my company. They're forcing the other companies into a dead end," Marco said, sighing heavily.Then he slammed his fist on the desk, making a dull sound.Lynda held Marco's hand tightly in her own, feeling sorry for him."Marco, don't worry. My dad is the vice president of the Munoz Group. I will find a way to help you," she said.Whe
