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
Chapter 474Delbert was still waiting for Harriet to come back.Just then, his phone rang.He answered it before Ben's voice came through the phone. "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. Why hasn't
Chapter 475Harriet felt helpless.Justin had warned her of the danger she was in, and it really happened.She wondered what those people wanted from her.She thought of those black-clothed men who had tried every means to get rid of her before.'Are these people related to those black-clothed men?' She thought.After pondering for a moment, she questioned them, "I have no grievances with you. Why did you kidnap me?"She wasn't that naïve to expect the kidnappers to answer truthfully.She thought that they would threaten her to keep quiet.But to her surprise, they turned a deaf ear to her question.She asked again, but the results were the same.She even started to suspect that these kidnappers were deaf. She had been questioning them for so long, but they paid her no attention."Hey! Are you all mute? Why don't you speak?" She sulked, about to continue, when four cars suddenly appeared.The driver tried to veer the van, but the four vehicles blocked the path.He had to
Chapter 476"What? Yvonne has been kidnapped?" Justin exclaimed in disbelief.Before he could continue, Delbert sternly confronted him. "Stop pretending! Answer my question. Are you behind this? Did you send people to take her to Imperium?"Harriet's disappearance shattered his usual calm and rationality.He had just discovered that Justin had met with Harriet, and now all the clues pointed to Justin. It was only normal to associate the kidnapping with Justin.If it weren't for the little bit of rationality left in his mind, he would have punched Justin in the face.When the information sank in, Justin realized that Delbert was regarding him as the culprit.He suppressed his anxiety and explained, "You know my relationship with Yvonne. Why would I lay a hand on her?"I came here to take her to Imperium to see Miriam. We have made a deal, so why do I have to go through the trouble of kidnapping her?"Delbert frowned, admitting the truth in Justin's words.As Delbert swayed, Ju
Chapter 477"Stop them! I'll be there right away," Delbert ordered.He hung up the phone, intending to head to the port."Have your people found Yvonne?" Justin asked anxiously. "Where is she?"Delbert looked back at him, hesitant to tell him.In the end, he revealed, "They took her to a port on the outskirts. They are about to board a ship and leave Meawood City."Delbert dashed into his car and drove off.Justin got into his car and rushed to the port at top speed as well.Just as he was about to reach the port, he received a phone call."Justin?" A deep voice came through the phone.It was Arthur Bass.Justin wondered if Arthur had learned about Yvonne's disappearance and called to scold him."I'm on my way to rescue Yvonne. If I can't save her, I will..." Justin said.Arthur cut him off, saying, "No need to go."Justin's heart tightened, and he could hardly hold the steering wheel.Arthur continued, "I've saved her, and you can go back to Imperium."With that, he hu
Chapter 478Harriet stared in astonishment at the scattered figures lying on the ground. Delbert's subordinates couldn't match their opponents.Those conscious ones on the ground groaned in their hearts.They had almost searched the entire city before finally finding Harriet. Under Delbert's instructions, they came to rescue her.They thought they could easily subdue the kidnappers, but in the end, they were subdued.They wondered when such skilled people arrived in Meawood City.They hadn't received any information.Unfazed by the episode, the group of people took Harriet onto the ship without giving her any chance to struggle.Lying on the ground, Ben and the others could only watch as Harriet was taken away.Moments later, Delbert arrived at the scene.His brows furrowed when he found that his men were all lying on the ground.These people came from the same training base as Cory. They were skilled, but they were crushed.'Who are these kidnappers?' Delbert wondered.Ha
