If it hadn't been for his quick reaction, his precious younger sister would probably have already run off with Delbert. Thinking of that, Henry was furious and directly rebuked, "Delbert, let go of Yvonne!"Caught by Henry in this scene, Harriet's fair cheeks instantly flushed red. She quickly let go of Delbert as if she had been electrocuted. She asked somewhat guiltily, "Henry, what are you doing here?"Seeing Harriet release Delbert, Henry felt a bit better, but he had no intention of letting Delbert off the hook. He snorted and took on the air of an elder chastising a younger one. "Delbert, what are you trying to do? Tonight is a gathering between siblings. But you just took Yvonne away without a word. We were all frantic looking for Yvonne, and here you are, being all lovey-dovey with her!"To think that Delbert dared to whisk away his precious sister right under his nose - that guy really had some nerve, Henry was livid. "You bullied Yvonne before. I haven't settled
The other seven Bass brothers also hurried over, obviously having witnessed the scene just now. Since Delbert had already apologized, they didn't feel it right to keep a stern face against him.Arthur stepped forward with a smile, his demeanor always steady as the eldest brother, and spoke amicably to Delbert, "Since it's our family gathering today and you're here as well, why don't you join us for dinner downstairs? How about it?"As soon as Arthur finished speaking, a voice of dissent suddenly rose sharply. "No! I don't agree!" Levi's eyes were filled with displeasure and a hint of jealousy. He didn't want to have dinner with Delbert! Not only did Delbert take Yvonne away from him but now Delbert also had to flaunt himself in front of him all the time - it was outright showing off!Seeing his suggestion immediately opposed by Levi, Arthur put on a resigned look. Among his seven brothers, many didn't like Delbert, but his view of Delbert was completely opposite to that
Fortunately for Arthur, Justin chose to stand by him. Even so, Levi still believed he would win. As for the others, they were naturally still hesitating. At this moment, Arthur cleared his throat and played his trump card.He looked towards Harriet and asked in a calm and unhurried tone, "Yvonne, you and Delbert have been married for about half a year now, right? Isn't it about time to have children? It would be nice for us brothers to see a little nephew or niece sooner rather than later."Arthur's words made Harriet blush instantly. She moved back shyly and hid behind Delbert. "Arthur, what are you talking about? What little nephew or niece? Don't tease me!"Henry, who was still hesitating, couldn't help but start imagining Harriet as a cute baby upon hearing Arthur's words. What he wanted wasn’t a little nephew but a niece, preferably as adorable as Harriet.Henry was instantly swayed and, ignoring Levi's signaling glances, immediately walked over to stand behind Art
"Alright!" Harriet nodded and quickly got her things together, saying, "Let's go now." She then straightened her clothes. After all, she was about to meet her nemesis and needed to look presentable. She was also curious to see what Sadie, the woman who had stolen her identity and life, and whose actions had left her mother in a coma for many years, looked like.At 2 pm, Sadie arrived in the reception room. Contrasting with her evil heart, Sadie was quite beautiful. Her flaxen wavy hair complemented her enchanting face and deep, beautiful eyes—a true beauty of the glamorous kind. But such a beautiful person harbored a cruel heart, which was a terrible waste."Miss Harriet, hello, I’m Sadie." Sadie recognized Harriet immediately upon seeing her and smiled as she extended her hand for a shake.She didn't expect the Bass brothers to actually bring Harriet to Imperium. But it was just as well—if her people in Meawood City couldn't kill Harriet, then let Harriet die here, in h
Walking beside Harriet, Delbert continued to soothe, "It's okay, Harriet. You shouldn't take that kind of provocation to heart. Otherwise, you'd be playing right into her hands."Harriet was surprised by Delbert's words. She didn’t expect a straightforward guy like him to pick up on Sadie's intentions.But still feeling defiant, she said, "I want to see what tricks she can play. If she can steal you away from me, then I accept the failure!"Delbert chuckled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, nuzzling into the nape of her neck. "It’s impossible that you’ll fail!"Harriet pursed her lips, "Hey, Delbert, I just realized—you really attract too much attention from the ladies."Delbert laughed it off, grateful that Harriet wasn't dwelling on the past flings he had attracted. Otherwise, he would be sleeping with a jealous wife every night.The two worked together with improved efficiency and soon headed home early.As for Sadie, she wasn't about to let Harriet off easily. Havi
Without beating around the bush, Sadie got straight to the point. "Miss Lily, I've heard about your conflict with Harriet. I also know she offended you first. Otherwise, someone of your distinguished status wouldn't stoop to having conflicts with her!"Of course, my issues with Harriet are similar to yours. She provoked me first."Since we share a common enemy, why not join forces against her? Let's give her a taste of her own medicine. How does that sound?"Sadie knew how to manipulate people well. Her words not only pleased Lily but also reignited her animosity towards Harriet.And next, all Sadie had to do was wait for this foolish woman to take the bait and agree to team up with her against Harriet.After hearing Sadie's proposal, Lily fell into thought. Indeed, she was eager for Harriet to suffer because of Delbert.Lily's jealousy prevailed under Sadie's tempting offer, and she quickly agreed to cooperate.Hiding her complex thoughts, Lily looked at Sadie with a warm s
Harriet didn't deserve it! And how could Delbert prefer a woman like Harriet, who was good for nothing and only relied on her brothers, over a noble lady of her stature? The more Lily thought about it at home, the angrier she got. After collaborating with Sadie and taking her advice, she found an excuse to leave home, pretending to come on behalf of her brother Liam to discuss a "partnership" with Harriet. She intended to use this cooperation to make Harriet suffer.As she saw Harriet's office just ahead, Lily snorted disdainfully and pushed the door open."Lily?" Seeing the impolite visitor was Lily, Harriet couldn't help but frown, "What are you doing here?"Lily's arrogant and domineering demeanor made it clear she was here specifically for Harriet. Putting aside how Lily knew of her whereabouts, just by looking at Lily's disdainful expression, it was evident that she had no good intentions.The sudden arrival of the heiress from the Lynch family at their company, look
Upon hearing that, the employees, though still harboring resentment towards Harriet, couldn't help but snort with laughter."Harriet, don't go too far!" Lily pointed at Harriet, furious.Seeing Lily's frustration, Harriet took a sip of her water to moisten her throat, and continued speaking in an even tone, "Miss Lily, you said you came on behalf of your brother, Liam, to discuss a partnership with us? Then why has our company received no prior notice?"If this’s such a significant collaboration as you claim, then given Mr. Liam's reputation for meticulousness, he would have informed our company in advance and arranged a proper meeting. Why would he send you in such a rash manner?"Harriet's lips curled into a sly smile. "Miss Lily, by using your brother's name to deceive so many people in our company, causing us all this unnecessary trouble, what exactly is your intention?"Could it be that you, relying on your status as the Lynch family’s heiress, has become accustomed to acti
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
