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 449Lynda stiffened at Harriet's words, realizing that she had been fooled.Blake was furious and disappointed. 'Why do I have such a foolish daughter?'"Dad, Harriet bullied me. You should teach her a lesson for me," Lynda said, seeking Blake's help.But Blake slapped her with all his strength.Lynda was caught off guard and almost fell. Luckily, Marco caught her in time.Lynda covered her cheek and looked incredulously at Blake. Tears welled up in her eyes.From childhood to adulthood, she had been pampered by Blake, but he hit her today."Why? You've never hit me before!" Lynda questioned him."You fool! How dare you steal things behind my back? I have to teach you a lesson!" Blake snapped."I didn't." Lynda continued to deny it.She glared at Harriet and said, "You're slandering me."Harriet smiled, revealing her dimples. "Whether it's slander or not, we'll see when the court summons arrives."Lynda saw Harriet's mocking smile and lost her mind.She rushed for
Chapter 450"Delbert, Yuri, let's go," Harriet said, ignoring those petty people.She held Delbert's hand and left.Yuri followed behind them.The onlookers sensibly dispersed.And so, the engagement ceremony ended abruptly.Blake watched with resentment as Harriet and Delbert walked away.He was determined to get back at them for the humiliation that day.After thinking for a moment, he approached Marco and tried to sound amicable. "Marco, now that you and Lynda are engaged, we will be family. Why don't we join hands to deal with the Carlson Group and the Munoz Group?"But Marco didn't buy it at all. "Blake, although I'm engaged to Lynda, it doesn't mean I have to cooperate with you."His company was already on the verge of collapse. If he collaborated with Blake, Harriet and Delbert would make sure he went broke.He decided to bide his time rather than court death with Blake."What do you mean?" Blake glared at him."I mean, I can't work with you. Give up on that idea!"
Chapter 451Before Marco could speak, Blake couldn't stand to see her daughter acting so foolishly any longer.He pulled her away and reprimanded, "He doesn't want to marry you anymore, so why are you clinging to him like this? You're embarrassing yourself and me.""Dad, it's not like that. Marco loves me. He's just temporarily confused because of Harriet, which is why he said those things. Please, give him some time to calm down. He will naturally consider working with you again," Lynda cried.She simply couldn't bring herself to believe that Marco didn't love her.While they were arguing, Marco slipped away....Harriet led Delbert and Yuri to a high-end café, where she signed a contract with Yuri."Let's wish for pleasant cooperation between us!" Yuri smiled, reaching out to shake hands with Harriet."Pleasant cooperation!" Harriet smiled.But before she could reach out, Delbert grabbed Yuri's hand."Aren't you busy today?" he said meaningfully.But Yuri failed to grasp
Chapter 452"Are you hungry? Let's go home. I'll cook for you," Delbert said, holding her hand."I'm in a good mood today, and I'll treat you to dinner," Harriet said.After taking care of Blake and Lynda, she needed to relax. She had been working tirelessly, and she wanted to indulge herself in pleasure."Alright!" Delbert agreed.If anyone who knew Delbert happened to pass by and see it, they would be surprised by how much he doted on someone.He gave Harriet all his tenderness.They left the café and ran into Blake."Harriet, I didn't expect to see you here," Blake said.Not blind, Harriet knew that he had been following her.She ignored him and led Delbert to leave.But Blake stopped her and said, "Harriet, I'm your uncle. Why do you give me such an attitude?""I'm giving you the same attitude as you gave me in the past. You wanted to kill me, so what kind of attitude do you expect from me?" Harriet sulked.Blake had been trying every means to kill her, and now he ment
Chapter 453Harriet gathered her thoughts and held onto Delbert's arm."Come with me! We're going to have a feast!" she said.They got into the car and left.Unbeknownst to them, a disheveled woman was hiding in the shadows and glaring.'Harriet, you ruined my love, my family, and everything I had. I won't let you off the hook, and I'll make you regret it!' The woman thought....The Munoz Group officially began collaborating with the Grayson Group.They jointly developed a new type of AI robot, which had entered the testing phase. Time was pressing, and Harriet worked tirelessly with the employees.Just when she finally had some free time, Delbert became busy.It was said that he had recently taken on a big project from overseas, and he had to work even on weekends.Harriet got up in the morning, but Delbert was nowhere to be seen. She asked Opal and learned that Delbert had gone to work without having breakfast.Harriet couldn't help but shake her head.Delbert really di
