At this moment, Harriet suddenly pushed open the door and entered.She had rushed to the conference room almost immediately upon hearing the news.Delbert stealing confidential company documents? It was ridiculous!Harriet looked coldly at everyone in the conference room.She would never believe that Delbert would steal documents.Putting aside her trust in him for a moment and just looking at the facts...With Delbert's status as the owner of the Carlson Group, what could he possibly want that he couldn't get? Would he stoop to stealing a mere partnership document?Not to mention stealing it—if it weren't for this partnership involving her, Delbert wouldn't even care about it!And yet the company's staff apparently already concluded that Delbert had stolen the documents. Seeing Harriet enter, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their words filled with doubt about Delbert and insinuations of Harriet's deliberate cover-up.At this time, the company's executiv
Chapter 551"I believe Darryl. He can't possibly steal the contract," Ben said, stepping forward.He looked straight at the shareholders and executives, who showed a fawning appearance."I am cooperating with you all because of Darryl. If you convict Darryl, you know what the consequences will be, don't you?"The executives, especially those who had just accused Delbert, turned pale.Garry, who had been closely monitoring the situation from the side, was furious that his nearly successful plan was suddenly disrupted. However, the person disrupting his plan was Delbert's assistant, Ben. Delbert was not someone to be trifled with.And Darryl seemed close to Ben. If he offended Delbert because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.Garry couldn't help but shiver.He suppressed his anger and put on a righteous expression.He stepped forward, pointing at the employee who had found the contract in Delbert's folder. "Who allowed you to go through Darryl's folder? As a frien
Chapter 552'Is it Garry or Liam? But isn't Liam close to Delbert? How could he stab Delbert in the back? That's despicable.' Harriet thought.It wasn't until the end of the workday that Delbert, after sending Harriet back to the villa, excused himself on the pretext of having matters to attend to.He made his way to the Lynch family's home and rang the doorbell.Before long, a servant came to the door. He recognized Delbert as Liam's friend and opened the door."Mr. Carlson, please come in," he said.Delbert gave no response but headed straight to Liam's room.He opened the door and saw Liam sitting on the sofa, frowning at his phone screen.But his displeasure vanished the moment he saw Delbert."Delbert." He stood up with a smile and walked toward Delbert. "Why did you come here without telling me? I could have hosted you properly."Delbert gave no response. After a while, Liam feigned a belated realization and concealed his sinister look."What's wrong? Why the long face
Chapter 553Since that incident, Liam had been absent from Delbert and Harriet's presence for several days. Even matters of cooperation were handled by his assistant.Days passed by.Garry sat in his office, looking at the documents in his hands.Ever since his previous attempts to target Harriet failed, Harriet's momentum in the company had grown even stronger than before, almost reaching a position equal to his.If things went on like this, there might no longer be a place for him in this company.He would not allow that to happen.He would not let Harriet have her way.A sinister look appeared on his face.He stood up and stormed out of the office.After leaving the company, he went to see Liam to discuss their next plans.In the Lynch family's villa, Garry sat on the luxurious sofa across from Liam.Liam's composure annoyed him, and he said, "Harriet's position in the company is almost catching up to mine now. How can you remain so calm? Didn't we agree to deal with Har
Chapter 554Garry's voice suddenly came to an abrupt halt.Liam suddenly put down his cup, and his calm demeanor vanished.He stared intently at Garry with deep eyes.He shed his noble disguise and revealed his sinister side."Weak and incompetent?" Liam croaked, "If you believe so, you should be careful not to be crushed by me."He stressed his tone, making Garry believe he meant his words.Liam turned to look at the housekeeper and raised his voice. "See the guest out."Garry left quickly, daring not to linger....Harriet was still busy negotiating deals with partners.In a private room on the second floor of a hotel, she sat at the dining table with a decent smile and looked at a portly man.It was Wendell Johnson, one of the partners.Delbert had been opposed to her negotiating with Wendell from the start, based on his years of experience in the business world.Delbert believed that Wendell was up to no good by inviting Harriet to discuss a partnership at a hotel.D
Chapter 555"Mr. Johnson, it seems our cooperation today is not going to happen. Let's talk another day," Harriet said.Wendell had revealed his true colors, and she decided to leave.She should have believed Delbert's words and not come to see Wendell. She hadn't expected him to be such a person.But Wendell was not willing to let go of Harriet. He dropped all pretense of decency."Ms. Bass, don't run away. Stay and have fun with me," he said, dashing up to grab her hand.Harriet struggled, but Wendell looked as if he had expected it.He took out some drugs from his pocket, applied them to a tissue, and tried to cover Harriet's mouth with it.He had prepared the drugs in advance.When he saw Harriet at a press conference a few days ago, her youthful and composed demeanor amidst public scrutiny captivated him.He was momentarily obsessed and prepared the drugs in advance, using the guise of discussing cooperation to get close to her.Harriet struggled desperately, but Wendel
Chapter 556Delbert turned to Ben, who had followed him into the private room."Cripple him!" he ordered.That was the consequence of coveting his woman. As Ben subdued Wendell, Delbert took off his coat, put it on Harriet, and carried her to the car.Inside the car, the atmosphere was tense and quiet. Delbert sat next to Harriet with a gloomy expression.He had originally planned to discuss something with Ben today, but after leaving Harriet, he felt inexplicably uneasy. Harriet had told him that she was going to discuss a collaboration with a male boss. After he finished his business, he asked Ben to drive to the hotel where Harriet was discussing the collaboration. He hadn't expected to bump into such a scene as soon as he entered the hotel.He couldn't imagine what would have happened to Harriet if he hadn't come to the hotel or if he had arrived a step later. How crazy would he have become? Wendell deserved to die.Harriet sensed Delbert's abnormality and look
Chapter 557Harriet nodded and snuggled back into Delbert's embrace.In the driver's seat, Ben listened helplessly.He hadn't been here for many days, yet he had already seen too much of their affection display.It was unbearable for him.Those gossipers at the company would be the ones to bear it.Through the rearview mirror, Ben looked at Delbert and Harriet. For a moment, he didn't know whom to envy more.Soon, the incident was exposed by the media in the afternoon.However, the content of the exposure contained something more.The scandal involving Wendell became trending.In the hospital room, Wendell lay on the bed and watched the news of his attempted misconduct toward Harriet.Harriet's identity was concealed, and Wendell's indecent action toward an employee was exposed.In his anger, Wendell hurled the remote control at the TV and cursed. "Damn it! Who did this? When I find out, I'll make sure he suffers."His sudden movement caused his wounds to ache, and he grun
