Chapter 60 A Vengeful ReturnKenny remained silent, leaving the house without uttering a word.He didn't need anyone's help. He was determined to defeat Delbert fair and square....Harriet returned to the island, hoping to find some respite. However, she received an unexpected call from Bessie.Bessie informed her that something had happened at home and that both she and Clifton were unwell. She requested Harriet to come back and visit them the following day.Harriet was surprised by Bessie's sudden change of heart. Instead of seeking out Nora in the Happy Harpers, Bessie now wanted her to return home.Nevertheless, Harriet agreed since she had plans to take over the Munoz Group. She promised to visit them with Delbert the next day."Delbert!"After hanging up the phone, Harriet put on an innocent smile and jogged to the study room to find Delbert.She was going to throw herself into Delbert's arms and plead with him to accompany her back.At the Munoz family's villa, Bessie
Chapter 61 A Storm BrewingThe morning sun illuminated the surroundings, casting a bright glow on the door of the Munoz family's villa."Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, please come in."Clifton knew about their visit today, yet he only sent the old housekeeper to welcome them.Hiding in his room, he hoped to avoid any unpleasant confrontations regarding Bessie and Nora's actions against Harriet.Led by the old housekeeper, Harriet and Delbert made their way toward the house.Before they could reach the hall, the sound of servants chatting in the courtyard caught their attention.The topic of discussion revolved around Harriet and Delbert."I heard that Miss Harriet and Mr. Delbert are paying a visit today.""Miss Harriet, that fool? What difference does it make if Mr. Delbert is now the president of Carlson Group? He's impotent and violent, and Harriet will live like a widow.""You don't say. I heard that Mr. Delbert is old and ugly. A fool and an ugly man are a match made in heav
Chapter 62 Harriet's Wrath"Mr. Delbert."Cory had been entrusted by Delbert to protect Harriet. Naturally, he couldn't stand idly by and watch Harriet being bullied. Before stepping in, he asked Delbert for permission.However, Delbert stopped him with a glance.Wearing a slight smile on his face, Delbert calmly gazed at Harriet's fingertips.There, a glinting silver needle had appeared unnoticed.Harriet was about to take action."So what? You should be hit for badmouthing me and Delbert."Harriet stood with her hands on her hips and tilted her head like a little devil."When did we ever mention you and Mr. Delbert? You can't accuse us like this."The two maids felt indignant about being hit. Taking advantage of the fact that no one in the villa would support Harriet, they began to act brazenly.Unfortunately for them, Harriet was now backed up by a great figure."You don't admit it?" she huffed."Gossipers deserve to have their tongues cut off."Harriet made a gesture
Chapter 63 Creative Punishment"How do you want me to punish them?"Delbert's tone was full of affection.Harriet, with her pouting lips and starry eyes, knew that she had the support of Delbert.It was time to teach these two maids a lesson they would never forget."I want them to clean all the toilets in Meawood City and wash their mouths," Harriet declared with a straight face.If people didn't provoke her, Harriet had no intention of causing trouble.But if someone dared to cross her, she would eliminate them without hesitation.She was never a saint.Delbert found Harriet's punishment idea quite creative. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Cory.Cory stepped forward and coldly addressed the two stunned maids."Starting today, you will clean all the public toilets on the street!""On what basis?" The maids, finally regaining their senses, refused to back down.They couldn't believe that the fool they once manipulated now held their fate in her hands."You gossiped, a
Chapter 64 Not a SaintThe two maids pleaded with Bessie, desperately relying on her for help. They had tirelessly shielded Bessie's whereabouts from Clifton countless times before, ensuring that he never discovered her secret. Turning her back on them now seemed unthinkable.But Bessie had no intention of extending a helping hand.She shook off their grasping hands and snapped, "You've offended Mr. Delbert, and now you expect me to protect you? Dream on!"The two maids were taken aback by Bessie's refusal. It dawned on them that Clifton and Bessie only saw them as expendable pawns, willing to burn bridges without hesitation.Panic washed over them like a tidal wave. They fell to their knees, begging for mercy."Mr. Delbert, we were wrong! Please don't dismiss us. We were foolish to talk back to you. Please forgive our transgressions!""Mr. Delbert, we deeply regret our actions. Please have mercy!"Delbert's glare pierced through their souls. Terrified, they slapped themselves
Chapter 65 Unexpected Reunion"Harriet, Delbert, you are here."Nora descended the stairs with a smile.There was no trace of animosity toward Harriet on her face. It was all concealed within her gaze. Nora's hatred was fleeting, but Harriet keenly captured it.She hadn't expected Nora to escape from that ship.It was fine since the punishment dealt to Nora had been too lenient."It's been ages. I miss you so much, Nora."Harriet grinned innocently.She walked over and took hold of Nora's hand.Nora instinctively wanted to shake off Harriet's hand, but Delbert stood nearby, watching intently.His obsidian eyes seemed to emanate an icy chill, piercing through her soul and freezing her in place.Nora paused, allowing Harriet to hold her hand and prattle on."I want to thank you for marrying me to Delbert. I'm living in a big house and surrounded by a bunch of servants," Harriet crowed with a dimwitted expression, testing Nora's reaction.As expected, when Nora heard her bo
Chapter 66 TensionDelbert eyed Vernon and quickly looked away. But tension lingered in the air."Mr. Delbert, please take a seat. The food is ready."Clifton approached with a flattering smile, not wanting to neglect the big shot before him.Delbert nodded, taking his seat without waiting for Harriet.This unusual behavior didn't go unnoticed by Harriet, and a flicker of sadness passed through her eyes.She had confessed her feelings to him countless times.'Why still wouldn't he trust me?" she groaned in her heart.Nora gloated over the scene. This was exactly what she desired.She deliberately turned to Harriet and asked, "Harriet, are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you?"She gestured toward Vernon and raised her voice to make sure Delbert could hear her.She refused to believe that after marrying Delbert, Harriet would stop caring for Vernon.It was evident to everyone how Harriet had foolishly followed Vernon and obeyed his every word."What kind of su
Chapter 67 Beef StewVernon handed Harriet a piece of beef, expecting her to enjoy it.However, to everyone's astonishment, she casually tossed it aside without a second thought. Vernon turned pale, his shock evident.Unfazed, Harriet raised her chin and gave Vernon a disdainful look."I'm sorry, but I don't like beef stew anymore."She turned to Delbert. In his eyes, there was a mixture of inquiry and suspicion.Harriet didn't mind if he doubted her sincerity. They had a long life ahead anyway.She beamed at Delbert."I'll marry Delbert and follow his taste. I like fish now."She picked up a piece of fish and carefully removed the bones. Instead of putting it in Delbert's bowl, she sent it to his mouth."Open your mouth and have my fish."Harriet remembered that Delbert had a great fondness for fish in their previous life. But no one had been willing to patiently remove the bones for him, and he was too lazy to do it himself.As a result, fish rarely appeared on the Carl
