Delbert had to give in to Harriet!Meanwhile, Harriet was holding her phone by the dining table, having sent several messages to Delbert before lifting her head to eat. To her surprise, she saw her seven brothers sitting together with stern faces, tension evident among them.There was no need to mention the relationship between Arthur, Levi, and Henry. It had never been harmonious. But for some reason, even Oliver, Lucas, and Daniel seemed to harbor thick hostility in their glances toward one another. Only Justin remained neutral.The dining room fell into an eerie silence for a moment.Observing the unusually tense atmosphere between her brothers, Harriet couldn't help but frown and stroke her chin. Her doe eyes swirled with indiscernible emotions. She had been told by Arthur on the cruise ship that her brothers didn't get along well.Over the past few days, she thought it was just her eldest brother who didn't get along with her second and eighth brothers. But the reacti
Lily turned her head to look at Delbert, who wasn’t far away, busy with his phone. Noticing the faint smile on his face almost left her breathless with irritation. She stomped her foot, turned around, and left in a huff, not wanting to stay there a moment longer.Meanwhile, Delbert didn’t even notice Lily's presence. To Liam's half-joking inquiry, he casually replied with a "Yes," his smile growing even wider.Liam sat beside him, casually chatting more about the topic. Delbert responded without giving it much thought. They didn't talk for long before Liam excused himself, citing some business, and left.Delbert didn't take it to heart and continued smiling as he looked at the new messages from Harriet on his phone. What he didn't see was the moment Liam got up and turned his back to him, the teasing look in his eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a fierceness Delbert had never seen before!At the same time, the family banquet Harriet had with her brothers continued under a
Harriet was their one and only beloved sister. They too longed for Yvonne's affection! Fortunately, Harriet quickly noticed the envious looks from her other brothers and promptly let go of Oliver's hand before immediately going over to be affectionate with them.The tension-filled family banquet found a fragile balance thanks to Harriet's charm and cuteness. Seeing that scene unfold, Arthur didn't know what to say. The situation that even his authority as the eldest brother couldn't control was easily resolved by Yvonne's playful pout?He felt like a failure as an elder brother! At this point, Levi also stood up. He continued to maintain a calm demeanor as if nothing had happened and went on organizing the banquet so it could proceed.Although Yvonne had effortlessly resolved the conflict between her brothers with her charm and cuteness just moments ago, their underlying rifts were still too deep. They were always looking for an excuse to nitpick at each other. It didn't
Harriet couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart. But suddenly, an idea struck her."If we continue to argue like this, we'll never reach a conclusion. Brothers, why don't you decide by playing rock-paper-scissors?" she suggested.As soon as she finished, her seven brothers indeed stopped their quarreling and looked at Harriet as if they agreed with her idea.Harriet was inwardly delighted. The method that resolved the argument between her eldest brother, second brother, and eighth brother yesterday seemed to work today as well.Without further ado, the brothers got down to it right there at the banquet table, each eager to try their luck at rock-paper-scissors. But in a short while, with Oliver's howl of defeat, Levi once again emerged victorious in this game of chance.Arthur lost again and wasn't feeling much better than Oliver, his face full of regret."Winning two rounds in a row. Levi, your luck is too good!"Levi smiled faintly, "Can't help it!""Levi is al
The things from their childhood were scars that Delbert couldn’t easily reveal, but since Harriet wanted to hear them, even if he would be covered in bloody wounds, he would tell her.Hiding his sorrowful thoughts, Delbert regained his composure, his eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile."It was back when we were children. A certain little girl in the flowers stood on tiptoe and said she wanted to marry me."Oh, that little girl doesn't remember anything now. She needs me to help her recall."With a smile in his eyes, Delbert leaned in leisurely and pecked lightly on the woman's red lips. He was about to deepen the kiss when a waiter who came in to serve dishes caught them in the act.The waiter turned away immediately, full of apologies, "Sorry... I knocked on the door.""It's okay," Delbert waved his hand dismissively.But for Harriet, who usually maintained a calm and cool demeanor, her face was instantly covered with embarrassment.What the heck!After the waiter left
Delbert didn't give it much thought. After hanging up the phone, he sent the address of the rented house to Harriet and then began to pack his things.On the other side, Harriet had just put away her phone and started to fret. Knowing her seven brothers and their protective nature, they would definitely not agree to her cohabiting with Delbert...But no matter what, she still had to try and convince them. Maybe they would agree to let her move out and live with Delbert.However, as soon as Harriet brought up the idea of moving out to live with Delbert to Levi, she was met with his strong opposition."No way! I absolutely cannot agree to this!""Levi, please, I really want to live with Delbert. Just agree, please!"Harriet even resorted to acting cute, but Levi was unmoved. In fact, he even called over the other six brothers, and they all united in persuading Harriet not to move out and cohabit with Delbert.Their relationship as brothers might not be the best at times, often
Harriet looked at the brothers in front of her, each showing a reluctant expression, while behind them stood a formidable group of bodyguards. She then turned to look at Delbert, who was sitting in the car waiting for her, and exchanged a resigned glance with him.She was only going to live with Delbert. Was such a grandiose display really necessary?Moreover, being stared at by the surrounding crowd of onlookers was triggering her social awkwardness."Alright, brothers, it's enough to escort me here."Seeing that her brothers still stood their ground, unwilling to leave, Harriet quickly spoke up, "Delbert has already come over. I'm about to leave in his car. There won't be any issues."However, their faces were still filled with reluctance.After all, Yvonne was the only precious sister of all the brothers. They wished nothing more than to cherish her.But ever since Clifton took the young Yvonne away to Meawood City years ago, they had almost lost contact with her.Fortunatel
Then Ben saw a young woman in a pink pajama standing inside the door, blinking her sleepy eyes at him, clearly just having woken up.For a moment, Ben felt his heart melt under Harriet’s charm before him.Harriet tilted her head adorably and asked in a daze, "Ben, are you... here to see Delbert?"Ben nodded quickly and was about to explain his purpose when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen, "Is Ben here?"Was that Delbert's voice?At the sound of Delbert's voice, Ben's pupils constricted and he froze on the spot.Not because Delbert could recognize him right away, but because there was also the sound of cooking mixed in with Delbert calling his name!And both sounds were coming from the kitchen...Could it be that Delbert was cooking right now?Ben found it hard to imagine what the usually aloof Delbert would look like wearing an apron and cooking.This wasn't just shocking. It was absolutely sensational!Ben tentatively walked into the villa and loo
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
