Chapter 479Delbert snapped open his eyes and said, "The ship is bound to Imperium during that time, right?""Yes!" Ben nodded.After regaining consciousness, he checked the information when Delbert was gazing at the ship.He planned to tell Delbert about this after making his apologies. Unexpectedly, Delbert had found out.As Delbert scrolled the screen, Ben spoke cautiously. "Sir, please give me another chance. I'll go to Imperium with our men and bring Mrs. Carlson back.""No need," Delbert blurted out. "Stay in Meawood City and take care of the company. I'll go in person."He booked a ticket and put away his phone....On the ship, Harriet was worried about Delbert.The leader of the group approached her and said, "Miss, please come with me." He bowed respectfully, which was a stark contrast to his coldness earlier.Harriet frowned, doubtful about his true intention.She sorted out her thoughts and followed behind him.Soon, she was led to the cabin.The door opened
Chapter 480"Aren't you the host from that day?" Harriet exclaimed."Yeah! I helped you win the bidding," Arthur said."Are you really my brother?" Harriet asked.Arthur nodded. "Yvonne, after so many years, I finally found you."Harriet was as innocent and pure as when they were children. Arthur smiled and hugged her.After so many years of searching, he finally found her.After a while, he let go of Harriet.Harriet sat on the sofa, looking at Arthur with mixed feelings.After all, she was kidnapped and taken to him.As if he didn't notice her inquiring gaze, Arthur sighed and continued, "You've grown into a graceful young lady, and you look more and more like Miriam. I heard that you married Delbert."Arthur felt happy for Harriet for marrying the boy from back then, but his heart was somehow empty."Although I don't have any impression of you, I feel a connection with you. You have to look out for me from now on," she said playfully.Arthur's dejection dissipated, and
After patiently waiting for a moment, there was finally a voice on the other end of the phone."Delbert...!""Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."A clear female voice came from the phone.Harriet looked up at the notification bar and realized that there was no signal on the ship, so she couldn't get through to Delbert at all.Helplessly, she handed the phone back to Arthur.It seemed that she could only contact Delbert after arriving in Imperium. She hoped that Delbert wouldn't be so angry as to erupt like a volcano.After arriving in Imperium, there must be a lot of difficult things waiting for her to deal with.What was her mother’s background? Why was she called "Yvonne"? Who were the black-clothed people who tried every means to get rid of her behind her back?There were also plenty of questions waiting for her to answer one by one!Several hours later, at the port, Imperium.Harriet, who had just disembarked, felt bit un
At the port.Delbert's beautiful eyes were fixed on the phone screen with a hint of expectation, his face showing an unmistakable nervousness.This was his fifth attempt to get through to Harriet.But each time he failed to hear that familiar voice on the other end of the phone. There was only a mechanical female voice repeating the same sentence."The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."This time was no exception.After failing to reach Harriet once again, Delbert gave up. Perhaps Harriet had lost her phone.However, he didn’t close the dialing interface. Instead, he made a call to someone he hadn’t heard from for a long time and soon it was answered."Delbert?"A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of restrained excitement.The man's name was Liam Lynch, a true noble in Imperium, who had known Delbert since childhood.Because Delbert didn’t want to go to the Carlson family’s manor, he had no choice but go to
The girl's long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her face was adorned with light makeup.She was dressed in a slim-fitting shirt and a skirt, exposing her long and fair legs, which were very eye-catching.The girl sat down next to Delbert in a familiar manner and looked at Liam with a gentle smile. "Liam, why is there an esteemed guest at home? Aren't you going to introduce me?"Delbert didn't give the girl who suddenly sat beside him a glance. He simply moved slightly to one side, creating a considerable distance between them.The girl didn't seem to feel awkward and sat with her legs crossed on the sofa, looking at Liam as if waiting for him to introduce her.Liam felt somewhat helpless as he introduced her to Delbert. "Delbert, this is my sister, Lily."Then he looked at Lily Lynch and patiently explained, "Lily, this’s Delbert. I’ve mentioned him to you many times. He has saved my life."After giving a quick nod at Lily, Delbert continued to answer the question Liam had
Arthur smiled, "Yvonne, don't you remember? You like these dishes ever since you were young.""Ever since I was young?" Harriet was a bit puzzled.She liked these dishes ever since she was young, but how did Delbert know? They had never met when they were young.Before Harriet could think about it in detail, the door of the villa was suddenly pushed open forcefully.From a distance, a familiar voice could be heard."Arthur, I knew you hid Yvonne in your house!"This voice...It was so familiar!Wasn't this the voice of Henry, whom she had met not long ago at Holy Night?So they really were brothers!Harriet was about to walk out of the dining room to meet Henry, but she saw Henry, ignoring the servants' obstruction, striding into the dining room.He walked directly in front of Arthur and grabbed his collar, angrily questioning, "Why did you hide Yvonne away? What do you want to do to her? Even if you’re my brother, if you dare to hurt Yvonne, I’ll never let you off!"Being
Faced with Arthur's cold retort, Henry was momentarily speechless. He pointed at Arthur with an angry face but couldn't come up with a rebuttal.Meanwhile, Harriet, who witnessed the entire argument between the two brothers, frowned slightly. She had been prepared to mediate between them ever since she heard from Arthur about the discord among her eight brothers on the ship. However, she hadn't expected their relationship to have deteriorated to this extent. They were quick to quarrel at every trivial matter. They were acting like kids.Seeing that the two were still arguing, Harriet felt a headache coming on and quickly tried to mediate."Brothers, for my sake, can we stop quarreling? Can't we just let bygones be bygones?"Afterwards, she repeatedly made eye contact with Arthur.Arthur understood and immediately continued according to what Harriet had said. He humbly apologizing to Henry."Alright, it’s my fault. I shouldn't have brought Yvonne to Imperium without tell
"Not at all!" Arthur responded almost instantly, "I won’t be affected by him!"Seeing Arthur like that, Harriet felt extremely helpless. Arthur was obviously mad! It was clear that he was very upset.Harriet sat next to Arthur and tried to comfort him, much like comforting a child."Arthur, you and Henry are brothers for more than twenty years. I can see that he has a quick temper. As the eldest brother, sometimes you need to be more magnanimous and give in to him. What's the point of always arguing like this?"Arthur brought her to Imperium because of their mother and the discord among the brothers. He needed her to come back and mediate the conflicts among them. The current situation was precisely what required her help in mediating.After hearing her words, Arthur also found them reasonable, and his expression indeed softened slightly.Seeing that, Harriet continued to bring out various reasons and tried to persuade Arthur.After a while, although Arthur's anger had s
