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
Chapter 558Ben was Delbert's assistant, but he listened to Darryl's words. It would make sense if Darryl was Delbert in disguise.While Wendell was lost in thought, the door suddenly opened.A middle-aged man entered with a kind smile, dressed in a branded suit.Wendell instantly sat up from the bed. "Garry? What brings you here?"Wendell had met Garry a few times, and he felt embarrassed about his terrible state.However, Garry seemed not to notice the bandages. He walked straight up to Wendell and asked, "Mr. Johnson, are you interested in collaborating with me?"Ever since Garry was driven away by Liam, he had been fuming.Coincidentally, he saw the news about Wendell's scandal, associated it with Harriet's business meeting with Wendell, and realized what had happened.With an idea in mind, he found Wendell's location and came to the ward.Wendell was confused and skeptical. 'Isn't Garry currently collaborating with another company? Why did he suddenly come to me?'Garry
Chapter 559Outside the ward, Lily heard their plan.She was there because she had recently noticed Liam was in contact with Garry.Garry had been to their house that day, and he seemed to have some disagreement with Liam. In the end, Liam chased him out.Lily was there because Garry was from Harriet's company, and she had always disapproved of Harriet. Out of curiosity, she followed him, not expecting to overhear such shocking news.Ever since she was humiliated by Harriet, she had harbored resentment.After hearing Garry and Wendell's plan, she came up with an idea of her own.She left the hospital and went home.Before the drama unfolded, she needed to get prepared.She would use others to do her bidding.As soon as she returned home, she hurried to her room.Liam noticed Lily's high spirit and felt puzzled.Lily had been upset lately because of Harriet. It was rare for her to be so happy. He wondered if she was up to something, and he didn't want her to disrupt his plan
Chapter 560Nothing was more important than eating."Wow, it smells so good. What did you make this time?" Harriet said, trotting toward the dining table.The table, which had been empty just moments ago, was now filled with a variety of dishes, all of which were her favorites."Did you smell the aroma?" Delbert's voice came from behind her.Harriet turned around to see Delbert holding a dish. His eyes were filled with indulgence.Harriet blinked and nodded.Delbert itched to tease her.After placing the dish on the table, he sat Harriet down and said, "Call me honey, and I'll feed you."Harriet felt a tingling sensation and blushed.As Delbert waited for her response, she curled up and murmured shyly, "Honey!"She dragged her voice, and Delbert picked up some beef for her.In a captivating voice, he said, "Open your mouth."Harriet closed her eyes and complied.The blush spread from her cheeks to her neck.Delbert was getting better at it, and she couldn't handle it.D
