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
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
