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 601Harriet naturally knew that the reporter was deliberately causing trouble.She couldn't be bothered to argue with him.But just as she was about to get back to the point, the reporter turned around, dragged the cameraman over, and faced the crowd."I'm sure all of you already know about it. I just received a phone call from an anonymous whistleblower, and the accused one is Ms. Munoz," he stated, taking out his phone to show the evidence provided by Wendell.One picture showed Wendell lying in the hospital bed, covered in bandages.Another picture showed a tearful apology video from the hacker.The last picture displayed an injured Tom in a hotel.Compared to the other two people, Tom was in a much more terrible state.The male reporters gasped at the scene.The attention of the crowd shifted, and some people started discussing the severity of Tom's injuries.The reporter cleared his throat, trying to redirect the topic."These are the evidence sent to me by the
