Chapter 466

Harriet 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

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

"Sir, I've investigated Mrs. Carlson's recent schedule."He paused and continued hesitantly, "There are some unusual activities, and I've sent all the information to your phone.""I see," Delbert said, hanging up the phone.He looked at the documents sent by Ben and hesitated to check them out.He hoped that Harriet wasn't planning to leave him.He was torn for a moment before opening the files.His mind was blown as he recognized the man in the photo. It was Miriam's adopted son and Harriet's brother, Justin.Shocked, he wondered what brought Justin here.Delbert took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.He decided to wait until Harriet returned and ask her.But by the time the sun was setting, Harriet still hadn't returned.Delbert furrowed his brow and anxiously looked at his watch.'An hour has passed.

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.

    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

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.

"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
