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
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
