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 462Without informing the mall manager, Delbert and Harriet arrived on the floor where women's clothing was sold. Delbert chose to shop discreetly while also inspecting the daily operations of the mall.Harriet randomly picked a store and walked in.The two female clerks were lazily sitting behind the counter, commenting on the figure of the previous customer. But when they saw a customer enter, they greeted her with a smile.But their smiles froze when they recognized Harriet.Although she had regained her intelligence, she had stolen the dreamt man from countless women in Meawood City.They didn't show their disdain explicitly, but Harriet detected contempt in their gazes.She was not surprised.Her marriage to Delbert was known to everyone.Because she married a good man and took over the Munoz Group, many women felt unfair and treated her with hostility.But soon, their disdain turned into disbelief and excitement.They couldn't believe that Delbert had come too.
Chapter 463The clerk's tone was full of disgust. She sounded like she was feeling unfair toward Delbert and jealous of Harriet.The other clerk remembered something and said, "Harriet's family is either in prison or in a mental hospital. I heard that after she became smarter, she took over the Munoz Group with Mr. Carlson's help. But instead of managing it properly, she kicked Blake out first."She lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Rumor has it that Harriet has been pretending to be foolish all along. Her family were all set up by her.""Ah, I'm feeling sorry for Mr. Carlson. Does he like Harriet because she is awesome in bed?" said the other clerk.Their remarks were harsh.Harriet heard everything in the fitting room.It was true that she set up her family, but that was what they deserved.The clerks knew nothing, yet they dared gossip here.They had no idea what the Munoz family members had done to her in her past life.Sadness and anger intertwined in her heart,
Chapter 464The two clerks were infuriated by Harriet's words.Although they had indeed been gossiping about Harriet, she didn't have any evidence.Without evidence, she couldn't do anything to them."Why should we clean the restrooms?" They were indignant.Harriet narrowed her eyes and asked back, "I'm Delbert's wife. Can't I discipline disobedient employees?"Delbert finished the phone call and appeared at the entrance.His face darkened as he learned that the two clerks had talked behind Harriet's back.But when Harriet mentioned her identity as his wife, a proud look appeared on his face."Sir, do you want me to handle this matter?" Ben asked, noticing his displeasure.Delbert shook his head and cast a cold look at the two clerks.They were bold enough to gossip about Harriet.As Harriet suggested, he would have them clean the restrooms.As for now, he let Harriet enjoy her moment of power."Honey, they bullied me," Harriet grumbled, noticing that Delbert had returned
Chapter 465"How dare you offend Mr. and Mrs. Carlson? I think you don't want to stay in this mall anymore. Pack up and get out of here!" The manager shouted.The two clerks didn't dare talk back.This was the largest and most luxurious mall in Meawood City, and it offered the highest salaries to its employees. They didn't want to lose such a good job for nothing.Moreover, if they were fired, the other malls might not be willing to hire them.Facing the risk of being dismissed, the two clerks realized their mistake. They pitifully looked at Delbert and pleaded, "We're sorry, Mr. Carlson. Please forgive us.""The person you should apologize to is Harriet, not me," Delbert said indifferently.The two clerks turned to Harriet and bowed deep, repeating their plea. "We're sorry, Mrs. Carlson. Please have mercy on us."Harriet smirked and said, "Okay! I won't dismiss you."The two clerks looked up in surprise.But Harriet's following words shattered their hope.She smiled at th
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
