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 457Harriet's lips were so soft, and Delbert couldn't have enough of them.Harriet felt his tenderness, and she slowly closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.The refreshing scent from his body filled her nostrils and her heart.Delbert grasped the back of her head to deepen the kiss and used his other hand to hold her tightly.He felt extremely satisfied.His kiss became increasingly passionate, making Harriet feel as if she were being melted by his passion.Delbert was dominant, even in his kisses.Harriet felt the air thinning, the temperature becoming hot, and her body burning.She couldn't help but push him and groan.Delbert opened his eyes and saw Harriet's flushed cheeks. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he was eager to do something.His kiss became even more intense. Harriet's resistance didn't make him stop, and the sight of her hazy eyes further fueled his passion. He was eager to have her and never to be separated from her.Unable to catch her breath, Harriet s
Chapter 458"I'm not upset," Harriet said, refusing to admit it.Delbert was used to it. He held Harriet more tightly and said, "Good!"Harriet didn't struggle. Instead, she enjoyed the moment of peace.After a while, Delbert had no intention of letting go, and she grumbled, "Can you let go of me now?"Reluctantly, Delbert released her.Even though they were in the same room, Delbert always felt like he could lose her at any moment.So, he cherished every second he spent with Harriet.Delbert had to continue working. Harriet chose to sit quietly on the sofa and keep him company.Delbert told her that they would have lunch together. She was not allowed to leave or roam around.Harriet felt helpless. She was not a child who could lose her way.Delbert seemed absorbed in the documents, but he kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.His attention was on her all the time.As noon approached, Delbert finished his work and took Harriet downstairs.He didn't take the d
Chapter 459Tara refused to give up.Delbert could only belong to her.She would not let her years of effort go to waste.Tara gritted her teeth. When she looked at Delbert, her eyes were full of tenderness. But when her gaze fell on Harriet, it became vicious.Blake came to the Carlson Group and happened to see Tara's resentful expression.Realizing something, he smirked meaningfully.He came to find Harriet after learning that she was at the Carlson Group, hoping to plead with her. Unexpectedly, he came across such an interesting situation.His trip was not in vain, after all.At least he met someone who hated Harriet as much as he did.It was only after Delbert and Harriet drove away and gradually disappeared from her sight that Tara stomped her feet and turned to walk toward the elevator.Filled with anger, she lost her appetite for lunch. She decided to go back to the office and plan how to deal with Harriet.Blake adjusted his clothes and followed her into the elevato
Chapter 460"When you watched Harriet leave earlier, I saw the intense hatred in your eyes. If Harriet wasn't your enemy, why would you have such a look?" Blake said confidently."You're observant, Mr. Munoz. So, what do you want to do?" Tara smiled."I want the Munoz Group, and I want Harriet to pay the price for trying to drive me away," Blake said with chilling paranoia in his eyes."Mr. Munoz, you can have the Munoz Group and make Harriet pay the price. I know you hate Delbert too, but you cannot harm him," Tara said."Harm him? No way! How could I dare harm Mr. Carlson? I just want to get rid of Harriet and regain what rightfully belongs to me," Blake said with a smile, hiding his calculation.He could tell that Tara liked Delbert very much.He naturally wanted to take revenge on Delbert, but he lacked the strength to do so.Now things were different. He would use Tara to deal with Harriet and then threaten her to deal with Delbert. It would be a perfect plan."Deal!" Tar
Chapter 461They were in a public place, and Delbert should restrain himself."Okay, you're the boss," Delbert said."Sir, here is your meal. Please enjoy yourself!" the waiter said, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere.Relieved, Harriet started to eat.Delbert was amused and shook his head.He was just teasing her. He wasn't going to do anything indecent in a public place.They had been married for almost a year.'Why is Harriet still so shy?' Delbert thought.He cut the steak for Harriet, picked up a piece, and delivered it to Harriet's mouth."Take a bite. This steak is the most classic dish in this restaurant. It retains the original flavor and makes some improvements. It's really good," he said.Harriet opened her mouth and ate the steak.The rich and unique flavor spread to her taste buds. What Delbert said was true. It was indeed tasty."You have sauce on your mouth," Delbert suddenly said, while Harriet was lost in his tenderness.He used his finger to wipe off
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
