Chapter 466Harriet was taken aback by the comment. She looked at herself in the mirror and found herself beautiful in the dress.The design made her look gorgeous and sensual. She loved it."What's wrong with it? I think it looks pretty," she said, disapproving of Delbert's taste.Delbert glanced at her exposed shoulders with amazement, but he hid it and frowned."It's just terrible!" he said.His taste standards only applied to Harriet.Her figure was too good, and he wanted to hide her away from any other man's sight."Alright then, I'll try another one," Harriet said, turning to head toward the fitting room.Delbert stopped her, which confused her."Let me help you select the clothes," he said before heading straight to the showcases.Harriet followed behind him, curious about what kind of clothes he would pick for her.Delbert wandered around and eventually picked a floral dress.Harriet covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. "I didn't expect your taste to be so down-to
Chapter 467Before leaving the mall, Harriet went to the restroom and ran into Justin, whom she hadn't seen for a while.His injuries had healed, and his noble temperament remained."Justin!"Before Harriet had a chance to ask him about what happened that day, Justin approached her and said, "Yvonne, you should come with me to Imperium. When are you planning to leave?""Hold on, why should I go to Imperium with you?" Harriet looked puzzled."Miriam is in trouble now, and you need to go to see her," Justin revealed."So, when are you going to Imperium with me?" he asked again."Are you really my brother? What is Miriam's identity? And why do all of you call me Yvonne?"If she was Yvonne, then who was the woman Delbert often mentioned?Harriet voiced all her doubts.Justin nodded. "Yes, I'm your brother. As for your and Miriam's identities, I can't tell you for now because it will put you in danger. When we go to Imperium, you will know everything."Harriet fell silent.In t
Chapter 468After they had dinner, Delbert gazed at her."Harriet!" he started without continuing, as if waiting for her response.Harriet looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?""After you came out of the mall, you didn't look right. Did something happen?" Delbert asked with a frown.Normally, Harriet would tell him immediately if something was wrong.But this time, she didn't.Delbert felt uneasy and took the initiative to ask her.Faced with Delbert's question, Harriet was suddenly at a loss for words.She didn't know how he could tell that she was troubled. If she were to tell him that she wanted to go to Imperium to find Miriam and leave him for a while, he probably wouldn't agree. He might even have another bout of paranoia and confine her to the villa.She hid her thoughts and pretended to speak innocently. "No, nothing happened. Don't think too much.""Really?" Delbert seemed skeptical, and his gaze was penetrating."Yeah!" Harriet nodded firmly.Delbert soften
Chapter 469Milton seemed to notice Delbert's expression, and he said, "Has Delbert ever bullied you at home? If he has, you can tell me. I will teach him a lesson.""No, he hasn't. He treats me really well," Harriet said.Milton's expression softened, and he snorted. "That's good. If I ever see him bully you, I'll definitely punish him."Harriet was touched by his concern.Just then, dinner was ready.Milton intended to head to the dining room. Harriet hurried up to support him and led him to his seat.After Milton delivered his speech, dinner started.Harriet grabbed her fork and knife, picking up dishes for Milton. "This dish is good for your health. You should have more of it. That dish is beneficial too."Milton couldn't hide his good mood.Harriet was such a filial girl.Now he didn't want to test Harriet anymore. He only hoped that Delbert and Harriet would love each other forever and that they would not end up like Delbert's parents.The family banquet ended in a ha
Chapter 470Delbert buried his head in Harriet's neck."Don't make these kinds of assumptions," he said.Harriet reluctantly agreed.Miriam's situation was unknown, and Harriet was worried about her. In the end, Harriet decided to go with Justin to find out.It was a shame that she didn't have a chance to tell Delbert.She felt helpless and decided to keep it from him.She would accept being imprisoned by him when she came back....The next day, Harriet appeared at Trevor's apartment with some gifts.She was reluctant to part with Delbert.She had picked out some gifts according to the preferences of Marc, Molly, and others and personally brought them over, reminding them to take care of Delbert.Now only the gift for Trevor hadn't been delivered.Harriet rang the doorbell, and the door opened soon.A servant invited her into the house, and shortly after she sat down, Trevor came downstairs and sat down next to her.After exchanging greetings, Trevor asked, "Why did you
Chapter 471After Trevor accepted the gifts and promised to take care of Delbert, Harriet felt relieved and prepared to go home.But as soon as she left, Harriet gave Delbert a call."Harriet just came to see me..."Although the explanation Harriet gave couldn't raise any issues at all, Trevor still felt that something was off.It would be better to tell Delbert about this matter.Not long after Harriet returned home, Delbert came back from work.He opened the door and frowned at Harriet. "I heard you went to see Trevor today.""It's just a visit," Harriet calmly responded, as if she had anticipated it. "We're all family. We shouldn't grow apart."With that, she led Delbert toward the dining room.As they walked, she tried to divert the subject. "I asked Opal to cook your favorite food. It's been a long day for you, so sit down and take a rest.""Okay." Delbert buried his doubts in his heart.Harriet had been acting strange lately.After taking a shower, Delbert stood in f
Chapter 472Harriet froze and then realized that it was the number Justin had given her the other day.She tapped on the screen and edited a reply. However, she couldn't bring herself to press the Send button.She took a deep breath, as if making a hard decision.[The day after tomorrow.]Soon afterward, another message came from Justin. [Can you do it tomorrow?]To be on the same side, he hoped that Harriet could leave Meawood City as soon as possible.Every second spent here would increase the likelihood of danger.Harriet understood his concern, but she insisted on leaving the day after tomorrow.[I'm sorry, Justin, but I still plan to leave the day after tomorrow.]Since just now, she had been considering whether to tell Delbert about her trip to Imperium.She was aware that Delbert had noticed her strange behavior, and she saw the concern in his eyes.If she were to leave without saying goodbye, she couldn't imagine how heartbroken Delbert would be.She planned to tel
Chapter 473Given his status, it was hard to imagine that Delbert was afraid of heights."So, you sweat so much because you're scared, not because it's hot?" Harriet asked, raising an eyebrow.After they got off the roller coaster just now, she noticed that Delbert was sweating profusely.When she asked him, Delbert replied that it was due to the hot weather.Now his silence was acquiescence.Harriet couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I never thought that you would be afraid of heights. I wonder how your business rivals would react if they knew about this."Delbert looked at Harriet helplessly.Even now, he still felt that the simple and happy days he spent with Harriet were like a dream.Thinking back to what they had been through, he stared at Harriet, as if he were afraid that he would wake up from the dream.Harriet stood in the light. Her cheeks were ruddy.A breeze brushed past, causing a few strands of her hair to sway in the wind. The collar of her clothes was s
