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 454"Sorry, Mr. Delbert," Tara said, reluctantly leaving.Delbert paid no attention to her and continued with his work.However, before long, footsteps echoed again.Delbert looked up and saw Tara appear in the doorway."Anything else?" he asked.Tara walked in and placed things on the desk."I just asked the secretary. She said you didn't have breakfast, so I went downstairs to buy you some. They are all your favorites. Eat them while they are hot," Tara explained.Delbert looked at the food and furrowed his brow.He didn't need Tara's solicitude."I'm not hungry. Take them away," Delbert said.Tara didn't sense his displeasure, and she deluded herself into thinking that although Delbert was married, it didn't mean that she stood no chance.She believed that her continuous concern would help her win Delbert over. One day, he would realize that she was better than Harriet and more suitable to be his wife."You didn't have breakfast. How can you not be hungry? If yo
Chapter 455"Why would I blame you? I'm happy to have a servant take care of Delbert, but I don't think Delbert likes your breakfast," Harriet said indifferently, turning to look at Delbert.Fortunately, Delbert didn't eat the breakfast Tara brought. Otherwise, Harriet would have stricken Tara with her silver needles.Delbert was surprised by Harriet's sudden appearance.He didn't expect that when he was thinking about Harriet, she would show up with breakfast.And Harriet trusted him. There was no way he would eat something brought by another woman."Come on in!" Delbert beckoned to Harriet.But Harriet was not as enthusiastic as usual. She just glanced at him and slowly walked in.Her cold expression made him feel uneasy.The delicious food in front of Delbert could not be ignored. Anyway, he had given Tara a chance to get close to him. Harriet decided to make him feel neglected.Her cold expression made Delbert feel uneasy."Here is your breakfast. If you're busy, I'll le
Chapter 456Tara watched with jealousy as Delbert pushed away her food and took Harriet's lunchbox.She gritted her teeth and glared at Harriet.Harriet was such a pain in the ass. Just when her relationship with Delbert was improving, Harriet showed up and ruined it.Tara felt bitter when she saw Delbert eating Harriet's food with relish.She wondered if the food she had bought was worse than Harriet's unremarkable food.She refused to accept it.However, at that point, she could do nothing except go out.Not a fool, Tara knew that she couldn't act recklessly, especially at the critical moment.She maintained her elegant smile and spoke softly. "I'm reassured that Mr. Delbert likes your food. I'll go now," she said with feigned indifference.As Tara turned around, Harriet narrowed her eyes. She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable seeing Tara with Delbert.Maybe she was jealous.Delbert only had Harriet in his eyes. When Harriet appeared, he didn't pay attention to
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
