Chapter 591Levi was not annoyed and smiled at Arthur.Arthur took the hint and stood up, saying, "Mr. Lynch, do you mean to say that Yvonne's chastity is worth less than a meal and some meager compensation?"He looked at Liam with feigned anger.Liam was only putting on a show. He didn't really mean to reject the offer.As both Levi and Arthur stood up to stop him, he turned around and came back."How could I possibly think that way? I'll accept it," he said, sitting down on the sofa with a proud look.He thought he had gained both fame and fortune, but everyone only saw him as a clown.Soon, various dishes were served on the dining table.Liam sat down and looked around as the Bass brothers sat around him.To his surprise, Garry's subordinate was also invited to join them.Liam had thought that this employee would be criticized by Harriet or her brothers for holding Harriet too closely. After all, her husband was Delbert.Being friends with Delbert for a long time, he kne
Chapter 592Liam saw their smiles and instantly felt that they were not as easy-going as they appeared to be. They were cunning individuals.Suspecting that they had figured out his scheme, Liam broke into a cold sweat.He forced himself to calm down and change the subject."By the way, as such a big issue happened, why hasn't Delbert shown up yet? A qualified husband shouldn't be like that," he said, peeking at their expressions.The strange smiles disappeared from the Bass brothers' faces, replaced by amusement.Liam felt a surge of joy, thinking that they were looking forward to seeing the drama between Delbert and Harriet.He even thought they were dissatisfied with Delbert.Liam put in an indignant look and continued, "I heard that Delbert went to work for Harriet's company as her assistant."According to Harriet, she passed out in her office. As her assistant, Delbert should have long noticed her disappearance. Where was he when Harriet was bullied?"He stopped halfway
Chapter 593Liam rejoiced that he hadn't contacted reporters.If the articles had been released, he would have been laughed at by everyone.Delbert looked sternly at Liam and slowly took off his hat.He would like to see how Liam would explain himself this time.Liam pretended not to notice Delbert. With a smile, he stood up and headed outside."My poor memories. I almost forget that I have a business meeting to attend. Please excuse me!" he said.Just then, Harriet slammed the table and stood up."Liam, stop right there!" she exclaimed.Liam was bold enough to call Delbert disqualified right in front of her.Lily was phony, and Liam was pretentious.He regarded himself as a noble person. In fact, he was filthy.Liam continued his way outside, and Harriet shouted, "Stop him!"The servants blocked Liam's way.He had to turn around and speak to Harriet. "Ms. Bass, you don't have to push me like this."A crisp sound then reverberated through the hall.Liam looked at Harrie
Chapter 594Liam had known Delbert for a much longer time than Harriet.He believed that Delbert would defend him.In his mind, men could change their women as they liked, while brotherhood lasted forever.But Delbert ignored Liam's expectant look altogether.He caressed Harriet's hand, red from slapping Liam."Does it hurt? The next time you want to hit someone, let me do it. Don't get your hands dirty for someone like Liam," he said.Harriet felt the warmth of his hand and blushed. "Don't worry. I'm fine."Instead of pulling out her hand, he grabbed Delbert's hand.Liam turned livid, annoyed by their display of affection.At that moment, he finally understood why Lily would forget about her status whenever she saw Harriet and Delbert together.Their display of affection was annoying.No one could bear it.The Bass brothers were satisfied with the progress of the relationship between Delbert and Harriet.When their gazes fell on Liam, however, their tenderness was instan
Chapter 595Wendell was lying in bed, nursing his injuries.His wounds hadn't healed yet, and he didn't know that Liam's plan had fallen apart.Liam had a bad feeling when he heard Wendell's triumphant voice.He frowned and asked, "What surprise are you talking about?"Wendell's reply shattered his last hope. "I've contacted a bunch of reporters to cover this story. They are top-notch and expensive to hire."Liam was struck dumb.He had just rejoiced that the matter was not leaked to the reporters.But Wendell did it, and he had found the top reporters in Imperium.If Wendell hadn't been beaten up by Delbert's men, Liam would have suspected that he was a mole planted by Harriet.Liam took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.Since Wendell told him about this now, the reporters must have been contacted not long ago.Presumably, they hadn't covered the story yet.He still had a chance to stop them.In a cold voice, Liam warned him, "The plan has failed. Contact those
Chapter 596Before Wendell could finish, Liam hung up the phone.He leaned back in the passenger seat and instructed his assistant, "Drive to the hospital and call Garry over."Liam had been driven mad by Wendell.Wendell was such a fool that he contacted the reporters without telling them.After doing something wrong, he didn't shut his mouth. Instead, he deemed himself smart and tried to comfort Liam.That was not comforting. It was a provocation....After Liam left, Harriet recounted the story to her brothers, and they were indignant.Liam was bold enough to scheme against Harriet like that.They didn't relent until Harriet promised that she would use the evidence to bring Liam to justice.They continued their meal and joked about each other's acting skills.The atmosphere was harmonious.After dinner, they gathered in the living room.Harriet stood up and went to the bathroom.As soon as she came out, someone suddenly pressed her against the wall.She intended to s
Chapter 597Delbert wiped the blood off his lips and came to the corridor with Harriet.Their looks immediately attracted attention.One of them was blushing, and the other had broken lips.The atmosphere became ambiguous.Arthur smiled meaningfully and asked Delbert while knowing the answer. "Delbert, how did you hurt your lips? Are you alright? Do you want me to have Lucas treat it for you? His medical skills are quite good.""I'm fine. Thank you!" Delbert said, shaking his head.He turned to look at Harriet and saw her blush.Harriet felt awkward. Arthur and those supportive of Delbert and Harriet being together all showed meaningful smiles.Levi and those disapproving of their relationship snorted.Delbert was bold enough to bully Yvonne under their nose.For Yvonne's sake, they didn't punch Delbert.They chatted for a while before it got dark.Harriet stood up and said goodbye to her brothers.She planned to return to the villa with Delbert first and then contact the
Chapter 598They had spent a lot on their plan.Even so, the reporter couldn't distort the truth in the face of absolute evidence.Harriet sneered and stepped forward.Crossing her arms, she confronted the reporter. "Go ahead with your questions. I don't have the leisure to waste time with you."Since this reporter came with ill intentions, she saw no need to be polite.The reporter, true to his profession, was not annoyed by Harriet's hostile words.He signaled the other reporters to quiet down, and after confirming that the cameraman had started the live broadcast, he spoke calmly. "Ms. Bass, take it easy. I was just asking. You're the victim here, and I won't make things difficult for you."He used his feigned concern to slacken Harriet's guard and continued with a smile, "I just received an anonymous tip, saying that Tom Morales had a meeting with you in a hotel today. He attempted to tarnish your reputation.""Fortunately, Mr. Lynch arrived in time to rescue you. Is this
