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.

    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

    She was certain that if she weren't Liam's sister and if her brother didn't have a relationship with Delbert, she wouldn’t live to see another sunrise.At this moment, she dared not trouble Harriet any further. Instead, every cell in her body screamed at her to flee from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.Seeing Delbert's arrival, the employees also didn't dare to make a sound. The office fell into an eerie silence at once."Leave now!"Delbert had repeatedly let Lily off the hook out of respect for his good friend, Liam.Harriet watched with raised eyebrows as Lily stood there petrified.When Lily saw Harriet's reaction, her rage flared up again but was quickly quashed by a piercingly cold glare from Delbert. She bit back her anger and tears and left dejectedly.Once home, Lily couldn't hold back any longer. Her tears fell like pearls off a string."Liam!"Seeing Liam nearby, she ran to him and began sobbing uncontrollably, spilling out everything that happened th

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?
