"You’re being tolerant? I don't know what I did that requires Mr. Levi to tolerate me so much."After hearing Levi's words, Delbert couldn't bear it any longer. The slightly eased expression on his face turned displeased in an instant. He was even unhappier than before.Not wanting Delbert to quarrel with her second brother, Harriet hurriedly spoke up, "Brothers, there are still some business matters at the company that Delbert and I need to handle. You should go back first. I'll come back to see you as soon as I finish work in the afternoon."Seeing the reluctant expressions on the faces of her three brothers, Harriet quickly coaxed and deceived them until they finally relented."Yvonne, we're having a family banquet tonight. You must come!"Before leaving, Justin informed Harriet of that and gave her a few affectionate reminders before leaving.Levi and Oliver followed suit.As soon as the three of them left, Harriet had no time to settle down before she heard Delbert's icy vo
After being busy at the company for almost a whole day, Harriet took Delbert's car and arrived at Levi's villa.Delbert could only wait outside in frustration because the Bass brothers didn’t invite him.Harriet originally thought that at tonight's family banquet, the eight brothers would rarely gather together again, and there would be endless brotherly talks. She could take the opportunity to relax and enjoy a meal without having to mediate like she did at the last family banquet.But unexpectedly...At the family banquet.Harriet looked at the full plate of food in front of her and was speechless for a moment.Although these dishes were served by her brothers and were all her favorite dishes, she couldn't eat so much!Weren't her brothers making things difficult for her?Harriet couldn't help but look up and saw several brothers sitting next to her continuously serving her food with smiles on their faces, as if they were afraid she would go hungry.Harriet put on a resign
"The Weston Group is always the first to donate whenever there is a disaster. Ms. Harriet, how can you cut corners in cooperation with such a good company? Don’t you have any conscience?"Harriet looked coldly at the people who were attacking her and smiled with a hint of malice on her lips.She waved her hand casually towards the door of the conference room, and in the next second, the "victim" Joseph walked slowly into the venue.Joseph walked onto the stage, bowed deeply to Harriet, took the microphone from her hand, and then faced the journalists and citizens below with a serious expression as he explained."Everyone, yesterday's drama is just a misunderstanding! Ms. Harriet didn’t cut corners at all. On the contrary, someone with ulterior motives deliberately framed her, leading to a misunderstanding by me and everyone present."His tone was full of guilt.Just as he had finished a meeting today and was burning with anger about how to deal with the batch of substandard goods
Harriet looked at the journalist in the audience who was deliberately targeting her as if she were watching a performing clown.She spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness."If you insist on making me apologize to Mr. Joseph in front of hundreds of thousands of people, then I can only reluctantly make you embarrass yourself in front of the same audience."Harriet turned slightly and nodded to Delbert, who was sitting beside her.The next second, Delbert casually manipulated the computer in front of him, and then, the big screen at the back of the press conference instantly displayed various pieces of solid evidence provided by the police.This evidence was exactly what Levi had someone investigate and then presented in the company's meeting room.Harriet had anticipated that some journalists with ulterior motives might appear at the press conference, fantasizing about stepping on her to rise to fame overnight.So she had already obtained this evidence from Levi on her way
However, speaking of which, Harriet seemed to have some connection with this big shot.The last time Miss Lily from the Lynch family came to their company to cause trouble was Liam's sister. And Liam happened to be friends with that big shot.Thinking of that made the executive even more dejected."Moreover, according to rumors, Liam will be representing the tenderer. Ms. Harriet, do you remember Miss Lily from the Lynch family who came to our company last time? Liam is her brother. If Liam acts out of personal vendetta..."Before the executive could finish speaking, Harriet's phone suddenly vibrated.Looking down, she saw a message from Liam.Liam: [Ms. Harriet, I'm downstairs at your company with the winning bid notification. Aren't you coming down to get it?]Reading that message made Harriet frown slightly.Since when did winning bid notifications get personally delivered by the tender representative?And as this executive said, considering how Lily had lost face at her ha
When Liam watched the two walk away, the kindness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold indifference that didn't match his usual gentle and polite exterior. There was even a hint of darkness lurking in his expression.He was just delivering a bid award notice. Was it really necessary for Delbert to make such a fuss?In his eyes, he and Delbert shared a bond strong enough to consider each other as life-and-death friends. Now that Delbert had a wife, what was the problem with getting to know his friend's spouse?Moreover, what did Delbert's recent remark mean? Was Delbert telling him that in his eyes, he, Liam, was just an ordinary friend and if he dared to get close to Harriet again, there would be consequences?Liam had always treated Delbert as a brother, but it seemed in Delbert's eyes he was less than a woman.As the eldest son of the Lynch family with strong self-esteem from a young age, he now felt certain that Delbert looked down on him and wanted to sev
Upon hearing Garry's words, Liam was momentarily stunned, then squinted his eyes at Garry as numerous questions arose in his mind.He had thought Garry came to trouble him because of Harriet, but it turned out Garry actually wanted to join forces with him against her.It appeared that Garry was a traitor to the company.At that thought, Liam couldn't help but frown slightly, pondering whether or not to collaborate with Garry, considering Delbert was still his friend after all...Garry seemed to notice Liam's hesitation and quickly began to fan the flames, appearing as though he was taking Liam's side."Mr. Liam, as the esteemed eldest son of the Lynch family, you were just humiliated by them on the street. Yet you hesitate to act against them? You're being too kind-hearted. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to swallow such an insult!"Liam's eyes also showed a flicker of agreement due to Garry's words.Indeed, why should he consider Delbert a friend when Delbert no lo
Seeing Harriet's gaze turn towards him, Liam met her eyes without any sign of guilt."Ms. Harriet, if you doubt the authenticity of the document, you’re welcome to convene a meeting for your company to review it as soon as I send over the subsequent collaboration documents. If you find any issues, you can terminate the cooperation at any time."I’m sincerely looking forward to collaborating with you. After all, you’re a rising star in the Imperium business circle who I see great potential in."Liam's words effectively handed over the initiative to Harriet. After all, once the subsequent collaboration documents were delivered and reviewed by Delbert, they could spot any issues and Harriet could terminate their cooperation at any time.Considering that, Harriet turned back to Delbert with an inquiring look. Seeing him nodding his head, she said half in doubt, "I agree to cooperate with you. But, Mr. Liam, bear it in your mind that I can terminate our cooperation at any time!"Wh
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
