Was she really Harriet?After all, Justin has already appeared, and those people were probably all in Imperial now.But when Delbert's gaze once again turned to the place where the girl had passed, he only saw that she was gone.Did he see it wrong?Or was it an illusion?Delbert withdrew his gaze, and smirked at himself.These days, he felt he was possessed. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was Harriet's figure. Even in his dreams, he wanted to find Harriet as soon as possible.To his surprise, he even had illusions now."Delbert!"Right at this moment, Lily smiled and walked up to Delbert, looking very intimate with him, reaching out to take his arm.A look of disgust flashed in Delbert's eyes, then he quietly stepped back, letting Lily's gesture go empty.No matter how Lily tried to be close to him, his attitude towards Lily was always as cold as ever.And just now.Harriet was already taken by Arthur and Henry to the second floor of the banqu
The gem pendant was translucent and bright, set against the backdrop of the fine wood, it emitted a faint pearly glow, gentle yet not dazzling.Levi saw Harriet's confusion and explained, "Yvonne, this’s the gem pendant that represents the power behind me. It can mobilize all the wealth under my command."Now, this gem pendant belongs to you. Consider it as an apology for my abruptness during that night at Holy Night!""For me?" Harriet asked in surprise, lifting her head. When she saw Levi nodding with a smile, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She was greatly touched.Was this the long-missed feeling of home?Was this what the old her longed for but could never obtain?Harriet's slender fingers tightly clutched her dress. She tried to fight back negative emotions.At that moment, Levi had already taken the gem pendant out of the wooden box and personally put it on Harriet.Harriet looked at the delicate and exquisite gem pendant around her neck, feeling the warmth slow
And seeing Harriet now looking unharmed and lively reassured him even more!During these days of Harriet's disappearance, Delbert had been restless and sleepless, fearing that something bad had befallen her.Now seeing Harriet safe and sound not far away was undoubtedly the greatest consolation for him.After triple-checking that he was right, he was finally relieved.However, those standing beside her appeared to be the Bass brothers and that Levi who had a significant history with him!Seeing that Harriet had descended from the second floor and was heading towards the banquet hall, Delbert couldn't care less about anything else and immediately turned towards where Harriet was.But before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Lily once again.Lily stood in front of him, slightly shy, and said softly, "Delbert, did you come back for me? Was it because I was too noisy just now, and you found me annoying, so you wanted to leave? I'm sorry, I apologize, please don't ignore m
Harriet and Delbert embraced tightly after a long separation, unwilling to let go upon reuniting.At this moment, Lily caught up from behind and saw this scene. A sudden anger surged in her heart, uncontrollably churning in her chest.How dared this woman who had stolen all her thunder at the banquet embrace Delbert so brazenly in front of her?How unlucky!Lily snorted coldly, her eyes filled with insane jealousy as she looked at Harriet.Damn it, she would make this woman pay!Meanwhile, the two who were embracing finally let go. Delbert looked over Harriet carefully from top to bottom, his eyes full of concern."Harriet, have you encountered any danger these days? Did anything go wrong?"Noticing the concerned expression on Delbert's face, Harriet felt warmed.When she was about to explain to Delbert about her experiences in Imperial recently, she saw a girl in a pale moon-white dress with a malicious smile approaching them from a distance.Harriet didn't know her but real
"Lily, why do you have to bother Delbert? I told you Delbert is married. There are so many men in the world. Why do you have to pursue a married man!"Liam’s voice was filled with anxiety and a hint of resentment."Even if he's married to Harriet, so what? I've never failed to get what I want ever since I was little!"Lily forcefully broke free from Liam's hand, her eyes full of resentment.She thought that a high-ranking and influential man like Delbert would never marry a woman so casually. In his eyes, Harriet should just be a dispensable plaything.But just then, seeing how Delbert had defended Harriet, she realized that he must have genuine feelings for Harriet.At that thought, a glint of jealousy flashed in Lily's eyes.Ever since she was little, there was nothing she couldn't have.Even if Delbert was already married, it didn't mean she didn't have a chance...Meanwhile, on the other side.After the annoying Lily finally left, Delbert stared intently at the safe and s
Henry never liked Delbert since childhood. He never expected that Delbert would marry his beloved sister Yvonne after growing up.Seeing this brat's possessive look, he wondered whether Delbert wanted to bring Yvonne back to live with him or keep her imprisoned!Yvonne was kind-hearted. What if she suffered grievances with Delbert? What would she do then?The more Henry thought about it, the angrier he became. He immediately stepped forward to pull Harriet back to his side."Yvonne, go with me. Don't be deceived by this guy's sweet words!""Henry, don't be like this!" Harriet naturally didn't want to leave Delbert.She didn’t expect Henry's hostility towards Delbert to be so deep. She wanted to persuade him, but he clearly wasn't listening."Enough, Henry!" At this moment, Arthur on the side noticed Harriet's distress and quickly stepped forward, "It’s none of your business. What are you getting involved for?"Even though Arthur didn't like Delbert's cold and aloof nature, if
"Delbert, how have you been?"In an instant, Harriet's heart seemed to jump to her throat. She feared that Levi would also make things difficult for Delbert.After all, the argument between Arthur and Henry was also because of Delbert.Delbert responded calmly, "Not bad. Been a while by the way."Harriet narrowed her eyes slightly. Why did she feel like these two had met long ago?They not only looked alike but their auras were so fitting. It couldn't be a coincidence."I didn't expect to see you again and find out you've become Yvonne's husband!"Levi said indifferently, with a smile on his face that was so unfriendly.Delbert wasn't surprised and replied with an equally cold voice, "I had no choice. She’s destined to be mine!"Levi was left speechless and looked at Delbert up and down with unkindness in his eyes.Then, his lips slightly lifted into a faint smile."Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore. Henry, let's go!"Immediately after, he pulled Henry, who
A long while later.The excitement and joy of Harriet and Delbert's long-awaited reunion gradually faded as they walked side by side at the banquet. Harriet kept talking to Delbert about her brothers.Right at this moment, several young ladies from prestigious families gathered to chat, and casually approached Harriet.If it hadn't been for the fact that Lily, who happened to be nearby, signaled to them, Harriet would have really believed that they were just walking by.Harriet didn't show anything on her face, but she was already on guard behind the scenes. Lily had just suffered a loss at her hands. A young lady from a prestigious family like Lily would definitely not let it go so easily. Since they were unkind to her, she was ready to counter their moves.Sure enough, after a short while, one of the women suddenly picked up a wine glass filled with red wine from the table and, when handing it to another woman next to her, deliberately seized the opportunity to pretend to ha
