She had always been concerned about her image. Now, she had made a big fool of herself in front of so many people. She almost wished she could find a hole to hide in.Lily was about to vent her anger on those women when she saw that almost half of the people at the banquet were casting curious glances in their direction. The words she was about to say were instantly swallowed back down.If she were to angrily confront those women now, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that she had intentionally wanted Harriet to make a fool of herself?But when Lily saw Harriet smiling with a hint of amusement in her doe eyes as she gazed at her, an uncontrollable anger surged within Lily. She couldn't just let Harriet off so easily!She quickly thought of an idea. Then, she put on an appearance of innocence and turned to face Harriet, saying in a reproachful tone, "Miss Harriet, if you don't like me, just say so. I'll leave. Why did you splash red wine on me and trip me?"Lily said while s

"Lily, you better pray I don't feel the urge to kill you!"Get lost!"Delbert's grip on Lily's wrist tightened, causing her to feel a sharp pain. She felt that her bones were about to be crushed.Seeing that Delbert was truly angry this time, Liam must do something.He quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face, trying to make amends."Delbert, Lily is too young. She doesn't know any better. I apologize to you on her behalf for what just happened."As Delbert's good friend, Liam knew very well that when Delbert was serious, no amount of sweet talk would get him to let someone off the hook. He quickly added in a lower voice, "I'm begging you, in front of all these people today, please let Lily go. I’ll bring her to apologize to you and your wife personally another day."Delbert finally withdrew his cold gaze and let go of Lily as his friend pleaded.Liam breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the weight that had been hanging in his heart drop."Thank you, Delbert!"After s

Levi said calmly to the bodyguard beside him, "Drag her out!"Anyone who dared bully his sister or cause her even the slightest grievance wouldn’t get off easily with him!When Lily saw several menacing bodyguards approaching her, she immediately retreated in terror, her voice shrill and piercing, "I’m a noble in Imperium! How dare you lowlifes...!""Lowlifes?"Levi, who had already turned his attention back to caring for Harriet upon hearing that, abruptly turned back and looked down at Lily as if she were a mere clown."The Lynch family is nothing but a fallen noble at best. I could crush you all with a simple order!"Liam watched the scene unfold before his eyes.His face was unusually cold, and his fists clenched tightly at his sides. His nails were almost digging into his flesh.He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart, and approached with a smile, "Mr. Bass, Lily’s spoiled by me. I know she’s offended you this time. I’ll make sure to discipline he

Seeing Lily suddenly turn and run away crying, Liam hurried after her."Lily, wait!"But before he could take a few steps, he saw that Lily had already disappeared from his sight.Liam stopped in his tracks, staring at the place where Lily had vanished, his mind in turmoil.The reason he had been so angry just then and even lost his temper at his sister, whom he had always doted on, wasn’t only because of her impulsive behavior at the banquet but also because of Levi's words "fallen nobility," which pierced straight into his heart like a sharp blade.No matter how glorious they appeared in front of ordinary people and second-rate families, in the eyes of the top families in Imperium, the Lynch family was nothing more than an ant that could easily be crushed with a step.The Lynch family had once been illustrious in Imperium!If it hadn't been for the death of their parents and the unfavorable development of the Lynch Group, their family wouldn’t have fallen into such a state of

Seeing Delbert's unwavering demeanor, Harriet had no choice but to ramp up her charm. She tightened her embrace around his arm and said, "Delbert, once we return to Meawood City, we can live together every day. We won't miss out on this little bit of time, so please let me stay at my brothers' place these days, okay? Delbert!"Harriet was being extra affectionate and cute towards Delbert, even batting her eyelashes furiously to look pitiable.Delbert looked down at the woman in his arms. When he saw her spoiled act, a flicker of desire passed through his eyes. He found himself struggling to maintain control. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was husky to the extreme as he finally gave in with a nod, "Fine."He just couldn't bring himself to refuse Harriet when she acted like this.When Delbert finally agreed, a beautiful smile immediately lit up Harriet's petite face, and she tiptoed to plant a gentle kiss on his forehead as a reward.Levi, who was standing to the side an

Arthur snorted first, saying, "Yvonne has been staying at my place these past few days and has gotten used to it, so it's only right that she stays with me today as well."Before Henry, who usually didn't get along with him, could retort, Levi said confidently, "Since Yvonne has already spent so many days at your place, it's time for a change of scenery, like my house for instance.""No way!"Henry instantly flared up like a cat whose fur had been rubbed the wrong way, refusing to give in.No one could take Yvonne away from him.Not even Levi he usually respected the most!"Levi, I haven't seen Yvonne for so long, you can't compete with me for her!"Justin also chimed in at this moment, "I think it's more appropriate for Yvonne to stay at my place, it's quiet there!"As the argument between the four brothers became more intense, Harriet also it was a serious problem and tried several times to mediate but didn't know where to start.Finally, out of options, Harriet tentatively

At Imperium City Hospital.Harriet stood in front of a hospital bed, lips pursed as she looked at the person lying there, who could only maintain a heartbeat through intravenous drips.This person was her mother, whom she hadn't seen for many years.Upon learning that her mother wasn't dead, she had wanted to see her in person every moment.But now, standing in front of her mother, she found herself unable to speak a word, nor shed a tear."Yvonne, if you're feeling sad, it might help to cry it out," Levi said, gazing at Harriet's frail body, knowing the immense pain she was hiding.Harriet remained silent, her face unchanged, her eyes only growing more serious.After a long silence, so long that Levi began to worry about her emotions. Levi’s expression turned serious, and he called with concern, "Yvonne..."It seemed Harriet knew what Levi was about to say and she shook her head to interrupt him."Levi, don't worry. I won't cry, nor will I collapse from this. I'm not the litt

Liam noticed that Delbert, who had been cold-faced since last night's return, now showed a hint of joy on his face. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.It must be because of Harriet.Although Liam already had a guess as to why Delbert's expression had softened suddenly, he pretended not to know and teased him."Delbert, why are you suddenly so happy? Is there any good news?""I'm going to see Harriet later."After saying that, Delbert went straight to his bedroom to change clothes.It wasn’t a surprising answer.Indeed, in this world, only Harriet could make Delbert smile so quickly after being angry.But then...Liam suddenly thought of something. His playful expression faded and he looked thoughtful.Lily watched from a distance as Delbert prepared excitedly to meet Harriet.

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.

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.

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
