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
Chapter 599It was the recording of the conversation between the contact person and the female employee."I thought that Ms. Bass was just framing Mr. Johnson and Mr. Morales to cover up her despicable means. But unexpectedly, she attempted to step on Mr. Morales and Mr. Johnson to boost her reputation, branding herself as the first woman to fight against sexual harassment in the workplace," someone exclaimed in the crowd.As people switched their attention to him, he got excited and continued, "Harriet, you did something wrong, but instead of admitting your mistake, you framed innocent people. You're so wicked."His grandiose speech caused an uproar in the crowd.It was not that everyone believed in his words. They were just impressed by his imagination.His mind was filthy enough that he thought of such things.The reporters came to cover the story because they had been paid by Wendell.They were stung by their consciences.Through the last event, Harriet had earned herself
Chapter 600The man saw Harriet's fierce gaze and finally came to his senses.Realizing what he had just done, he was instantly drenched in a cold sweat.The pain in his knees was a constant reminder of his actions.He paid the price of speaking recklessly.To save his own ass, he crawled toward Delbert. "Darryl, I'm sorry. Please have mercy on me."The reporter, who had challenged Harriet earlier, returned from making a phone call.The scene in front of him surprised him, but then he felt overjoyed.Just now, Wendell had confessed everything to him. The reporter had asked Wendell to confess his wrongdoing online.But Wendell was reluctant, saying that he would never apologize to Harriet.At the same time, he anted up his offer, which was equivalent to the reporter's annual income.But this money was not easy to earn.When the reporter was about to refuse, Wendell voiced his request.As long as the reporter did a simple thing for Wendell, Wendell would immediately transfer
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
