Chapter 441The other directors hesitated and did not express their stance for a while.The atmosphere in the meeting room became awkward.Jared glanced at Harriet with a smug look in his eyes.However, Harriet remained composed. She smiled, leaned forward, and crossed her hands on the table."Well, if you're concerned about the profitability issue, you can choose not to participate in this project. Regardless of the outcome of this project, it will not affect your year-end bonus. How about that? Of course, this proposal also applies to other directors," she said confidently.The other directors were awed by her aura. After a moment of contemplation, they agreed one after another.Harriet glanced at Jared and said, "Since no one has any objections, let's adjourn the meeting."After the meeting ended, Jared had a gloomy expression on his face.'Damn it! I was outmaneuvered by Harriet once again,' he cursed inwardly.Lynda had been loitering around the entrance of the office bu
Chapter 442The unique fragrance from Harriet's body assailed Delbert's nostrils.He grabbed her hand and spoke softly. "Take good care of yourself and don't work too hard."Touched by his concern, Harriet agreed with a smile. "Okay!"After saying goodbye, she got into Ben's car. The smile on her face disappeared, and she returned to her usual image of a strong woman.When she arrived at the reception room of the bidding venue, Harriet realized that Star Entertainment would also be bidding."Ms. Munoz, we meet again!" Marco greeted Harriet with a fake smile, but she could sense his resentment.Even though more than a week had passed since that night, she still remembered the beastly appearance of this man.She took a step back, not hiding her disgust. "Please stay away from me."She covered her mouth as if she smelled something bad and changed her seat.The other CEOs witnessed everything and strangely looked at Marco.Since Harriet took over the Munoz Group, the company had
Chapter 443"At the end of the day, Ms. Munoz is just a woman who can't even handle such a small setback. Could it be that she's jealous of me?" Marco scoffed."Jealous of you? Are you worthy?" Harriet glared at him and asked Richard for her bidding proposal.However, when she opened the bidding proposal, she was stunned."Who did this?" she snapped.The bidding price and profit distribution in the proposal were completely different from what she had originally set. She was certain that the proposal had been tampered with.But Richard didn't want to listen to her explanation. He politely escorted her out of the bidding venue.Harriet immediately returned to the company and asked everyone to investigate who had altered her proposal.Marco, who had taken away the project that Harriet wanted, was feeling pleased. Thinking about Harriet's angry expression, he felt a sense of satisfaction.He finally retaliated against Harriet, but causing her this little harm was far from enough
Chapter 444Harriet ignored Lynda's actions, which seemed like a display of weakness to Lynda. As a result, her attitude became even more arrogant."Everyone says that life with a wealthy family is not easy. Harriet, you should hold on to Mr. Carlson. If he finds another woman, you will be sorry. But don't worry! If you're kicked out of the house, I will take you in," she said.Delbert heard all her sarcastic words."That will never happen," he said, holding Harriet's hand tightly.His tone was firm and affectionate.He indifferently glanced at Lynda, who was foolish enough to be engaged to a scumbag like Marco.Harriet didn't want to talk to Lynda, but she was relentless.Harriet approached Lynda and coldly stared at her. "Did you hear that? Delbert only has me in his eyes and heart. As for your fiancé, I can't guarantee anything. Everyone in Meawood City knows about his love affairs."Harriet poked a sore spot, causing Lynda to stomp her feet and say even more offensive thin
Chapter 445So, when no one noticed, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yuri asking why Marco won this bid.Apart from Delbert, no one knew that Yuri was the organizer of this bidding conference.He didn't let Sean intervene in Harriet's bidding, and Yuri didn't pay much attention to this project. As a result, Marco took advantage of it.Yuri promised to investigate the matter and go to the party to expose Marco.Before long, an unexpected person arrived at the engagement ceremony.Marco approached him with a flattering smile. "Mr. Grayson, it is an honor to have you at my engagement party.""Congratulations, Mr. Keller," Yuri said, looking at Harriet and Delbert.It wasn't until he received disapproving glances from Delbert that Yuri looked away. "Indeed, it is your honor. After all, this level of engagement party doesn't warrant my attendance."His words were too blunt and arrogant. Even if Marco put up a good front, he felt bad."What brings you here then?" He ask
Chapter 446"We need to ask Mr. Keller about this. If I hadn't noticed that the partner was wrong, I wouldn't have known that Mr. Keller had such a good relationship with Richard. When he used someone else's bidding proposal for the competition, Richard turned a blind eye," Yuri explained.Marco panicked, but he quickly composed himself and responded, "There must be some misunderstanding. Our bidding followed the normal procedures, and we used our own bidding proposal."Since you chose to cooperate with Star Entertainment, it means that our offer was good enough to impress Richard."He resorted to sophistry, although he was aware of Yuri's friendship with Delbert and Harriet.Yuri sneered and stated, "Mr. Keller, I came here today to personally inform you that I know about your dealings with Richard. I have evidence in hand. I will never acknowledge this kind of cooperation obtained through such despicable means."With these words, Yuri not only struck at Marco's reputation but a
Chapter 447The guests heard Yuri's words earlier, pointing at Marco."You're being arrogant, huh? Then I'll make sure you regret it today," Lynda said, raising her hand to hit Harriet.But before her hand could come down, it was grabbed by a large hand.A figure towered up in front of her.Harriet looked up and realized that it was Delbert who had blocked Lynda's attack.In fact, Harriet had been prepared to fight back. Lynda's intentions were written all over her face.Now she was touched by Delbert's protection."Get lost!" Delbert flung her arm away, and Lynda almost fell.Marco caught her in time.Even though he didn't like Lynda, they were engaged and on the same boat. If she lost face, he would lose face too.He thought about what happened the other day and glared at Delbert."Mr. Carlson, what do you mean by this? Is bullying women your style?" he said.Delbert remained unfazed. Marco was nothing in his eyes."How dare you talk to Delbert like that?" Yuri stepped
Chapter 448Delbert was delighted by Harriet's fierce protection.Yuri saw it and got goosebumps.There they came again.Marco was enraged, but he could find no words to refute Harriet.He was aware of his strength. How could he compare to Delbert, the president of Carlson Group?Moreover, Star Entertainment had suffered a heavy blow. Now he couldn't even match Harriet.Marco had to swallow his pride and remain silent."You're only borrowing someone else's power to bully people. Let's see what will happen to you once you're out of power," Lynda shot back, unable to bear it. "Have you forgotten that you used to be a fool laughed at by everyone, and Mr. Carlson used to be neglected?"Lynda thought that her words were harsh enough to prick Harriet's heart.But Harriet only snorted in response.Delbert enjoyed the feeling of being protected and watched their confrontation instead of intervening.Harriet wouldn't be bullied by a fool."So what if I bully people with my power? I
Chapter 783Delbert spoke like a spoiled child, and Harriet couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Delbert was acting strangely.After holding her for a while, Delbert led her to walk outside."Let's go!" he said eagerly.It made Harriet feel even more puzzled.Before long, they arrived at a nearby amusement park.After getting out of the car, Harriet noticed that the scenery at the amusement park was beautiful."The Ferris wheels!" 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. He was even more nervous than when Harriet marr
Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? 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
Chapter 781Molly intended to drape the blanket over Marc, but Marc woke up."You're awake. How are you feeling?" Marc said with concern, his eyes bloodshot.Molly shook her head. "I'm alright. 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. It's okay if you don
Chapter 780When Marc arrived at the hospital, the medical team was already waiting at the entrance.Marc quickly briefed them on Molly's condition. "My wife suddenly fainted. I'm not sure what's going on. Please help check on her." "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
Chapter 779Later, Delbert handed over the audio recordings of Sadie and Felipe's conspiracy, as well as the evidence of Sadie's attempt to embezzle assets from the Carlson Group, to the police.The police immediately began the trial of Sadie and Felipe. In the end, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.Excited about the news, Harriet led Delbert to see Miriam.Seeing her innocent look, Delbert wanted to embrace her and protect her forever.Miriam saw Harriet's happy face and asked, "What's going on? You look so happy.""I have some good news to tell you," Harriet replied.She let go of Delbert's hand and hugged Miriam. "Felipe and Sadie have been sentenced to eight years in prison. We won, and the Bass family is finally ours."Miriam took some time to overcome her shock. "Is it true?"She never thought they would win in the end.Harriet nodded vigorously, and Miriam confirmed the truth.She could finally return to the Bass family.She no longer cared about Fel
Chapter 778Levi raised his glass to congratulate them. "Yvonne, Delbert, I wish you happiness forever.""Me too," Arthur said.The others followed suit. Delbert had to drink with them one after another.They wanted to test Delbert's endurance and love for Harriet.Delbert kept drinking until his face was flushed red.When the meal was over, Andy and the others went back to rest.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the living room.Harriet used the tissue to wipe Delbert's face.Her gaze was filled with tenderness.Enchanted, Delbert grabbed her hand and put it on his chest."Harriet, I missed you so much," he said.His breath, mixed with the fragrance of wine, sprayed on Harriet's face.Then Delbert bent down to kiss her.They cuddled together, their eyes locked in a collision of longing.They kept holding each other, and Harriet bravely met his gaze.Delbert picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sound of rain drowned out many sounds, but it couldn't extingui
Chapter 777Soon, Delbert received a mail containing the documents.He skimmed them through and found that everything was fine at the company. Ben was quite a good manager.Delbert was satisfied with his performance.But Ben remained nervous, even though he could tell Delbert's good mood."You've done very well!" 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. Ben shivered and quickly added, "No need. I think it's good enough.""No, you will get a raise," Delbert smiled, having learned to scare people from Harriet.Subconsciously, he had been affected by Harriet.Ben was overjoyed, wondering if it was Harriet's credit.In the evening, Harriet sent a message to D
Chapter 776Delbert handed Saide over to the police and left without hesitation.Sadie bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The police officers took her away for interrogation.Sadie couldn't accept the fact that Delbert had no feelings for her at all.In the interrogation room, she licked her wounds and refused to talk.Her heart was broken, and her face was covered with tears.Delbert couldn't wait to see Harriet.Harriet was working. To avoid disturbing her work, he decided to meet her at the family banquet in the evening."I'm working right now. Can you come over tonight?" Harriet said.She was eager to see Delbert, holding and smelling him."Oh, you don't want to see me?" Delbert teased her."How could that be? But I'm working. With you around, I can't focus, so you have to wait for a while," Harriet said while reviewing the documents.After Felipe's arrest, a lot of things at the company required her attention. She was up to her neck."I can help you," Delber
Chapter 775Felipe was on tenterhooks when he received a message from his trusted aide."Miss Bass has disappeared in Meawood City. We couldn't find her," the man reported."Keep searching and find her at all costs," Felipe urgently said.He used all his connections and even hired private detectives, but there was still no news.It wasn't until Sadie returned to Imperium that Felipe got the information. To his surprise, Sadie had gone to Meawood City with Delbert.Although Delbert had lost his memory, Felipe couldn't feel reassured. He decided to temporarily leave Imperium and lay low for a while.He packed up his belongings and planned to escape abroad.Just as he was transferring his assets at home, the police suddenly came to his door."Hello, are you Mr. Felipe Bass?" they said.Felipe didn't expect the police to act so quickly. He said nervously, "Yes, may I help you?"But the following words from the police dashed his last hope. "Based on the video sent by Miss Harriet
