Chapter 620Lily knew that once Harriet agreed to gamble on stones with her in this area, Harriet would definitely lose.Although both she and Harriet were not very familiar with gambling on stones, the salesperson in charge of this area had introduced her to all the raw stones that could produce precious gems.Even if Harriet was lucky, she could not win.Harriet didn't even know that Lily had learned about every stone in this area.Harriet could only apologize to her in front of everyone.Lily would take the opportunity to humiliate Harriet and seek revenge.Pleased with herself, Lily didn't notice the cunning look in Harriet's eyes.Delbert, however, was not happy about Lily's proposal. Harriet stopped him from stepping in.Otherwise, there would be no show to watch.Harriet had figured out why Lily insisted on gambling in this area.She had noticed the salesperson standing next to Lily.Presumably, Lily had learned about all the raw stones in this area from the salesper
Chapter 621Lily was still looking around, trying to find those fine stones introduced by the salesperson.Besides Lily's friends, many onlookers gathered in the area.They had come to watch the match.Seeing how quickly Harriet had chosen her raw stone, the onlookers and Lily's friends stifled their laughter.Presumably, Harriet didn't know a thing about stone gambling, so she simply chose one that caught her eye.'Does she think that stone gambling is all about luck?' They thought.Lily was still carefully selecting her stone. Clearly, she knew what she was doing.Harriet didn't understand stone gambling at all. Yet she insisted on gambling with Lily.She would probably cry when she saw the results.The discussion among the people grew louder. Almost everyone was pessimistic about Harriet's victory.After finally finding the raw stone introduced by the salesperson, Lily confidently walked toward Harriet.She couldn't help but sneer when she saw the ordinary stone in Harri
Chapter 622For a moment, the stone cutter hesitated to continue cutting the stone.After a while, he picked up a signal from Lewis and continued his work.His cutting movements were much more cautious than before.While the others were shocked, Harriet remained calm.She smiled at Lily and said, "Miss Lynch, I don't think we'll need an appraisal. Everyone here can tell whose stone is more valuable."Lily's eyes glinted with malice, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.Although she didn't know much about gems, judging by the expressions of those around her, she could guess that Harriet's stone produced a better gem.Harriet won this bet.Lily had made all the necessary preparations, and the salesperson had introduced all the raw stones capable of producing precious gems to her.'Why do I still lose in the end? Why is Harriet so lucky? It can't be!' She thought.She wondered why the salesperson hadn't introduced the stone selected by Harrie
Chapter 623Lily's heart tightened, and she broke out in a cold sweat.She suddenly remembered that this Gem Trading Center was the largest and oldest in Imperium.Its owner was said to be of high rank.In comparison, she was just the daughter of a fallen family. She couldn't afford to offend the people in the trading center.If the owner of the trading center was annoyed, only her family could save her.But Liam had stopped caring about her.Lily quickly explained, "That's not what I mean. I mean, Harriet and that salesperson are colluding."This Gem Trading Center is the oldest and most reputable in Imperium. How could you possibly cheat with your customers?"Lily thought she had explained perfectly, but Lewis became angrier.He stared at Lily with coldness and disdain. "Here, every one of our employees has gone through strict screening, and each employee's employment application is reviewed by our boss."Since you're not questioning our qualifications, are you questioning
Chapter 624Just as Harriet was about to refuse, another person stepped forward."Your offer is too low! Are you trying to take advantage of this lady's ignorance? Ms. Munoz, I'm willing to buy this gem for five million dollars. If you're willing to see, we can negotiate the price," he said.The venue then descended into chaos.The people started to make bids, each offering a higher price than the previous one.They acted as if they were in an auction house.The only difference was the absence of an auctioneer. It was noisier there, and the prices went up faster.In just a short while, the price had soared to 90 million dollars.In the venue, the subordinates of many important figures started calling their bosses to inform them about the extraordinary gem that had appeared there.Everyone had only one thought in mind. To get the gem!They didn't care if Harriet had cheated or about her bet with Lily.All they knew was that the gem they desired was in Harriet's hands. As long
Chapter 625Harriet sneered and calmly looked at Lily. "You accuse me of cheating, but have you even checked if you are clean or not? When I first came to this area, a salesperson was standing next to you, right?"Lily didn't understand what Harriet meant. She subconsciously nodded.Realizing it afterward, she stepped back with a wary look. "So what?"Harriet smirked and slowly approached Lily. "If so, whether I cheated or not has nothing to do with you. Did that salesperson introduce to you all the raw stones in this area that can produce precious gems?"Her voice grew colder, and Lily's heart tightened.But there was no time for her to think about why Harriet knew about this matter.She pretended to be calm and snorted. "Are you suspecting me of cheating? Clearly, you are the one cheating, yet you suspect me. How ridiculous!"Harriet unhurriedly glanced at the salesperson.Lily was alarmed.Before she could even threaten the salesperson not to disclose what happened just no
It seemed that Harriet and Lily held old grudges against each other and now they had more.‘If I could belittle Lily in front of Harriet, making Harriet's enemy lose face, it’ll definitely please Harriet!’With that thought, the man who was the first to approach Harriet to buy the jewel instantly switched to a look of righteous indignation.He addressed Lily directly, "Miss Lily, you cheated first, and then falsely accused others, even spouting malicious words. Is this the kind of upbringing befitting a lady of the Lynch family? I never expected such a noble house could raise someone with such malevolent intentions! I wonder if the ancestors of the Lynch family can rest in peace seeing this scene!"As soon as the man finished speaking, other people around started to voice their criticism of Lily.In an instant, everyone in the venue looked at Lily with disdain and disgust.Lily was practically going mad with anger.She had never faced such universal contempt and public accusatio
The next moment, Delbert looked up at Lily, and a killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes."A malicious woman who doesn't deserve to live is clearly you!"As Delbert's next words were spoken, Lily's face turned pale with shock and she stumbled backward several steps.Oh no!She had forgotten that Delbert was also here when she uttered those words earlier.And now with his face darkened with anger, he was undoubtedly furious!Lily was both afraid and anxious at once but seeing Harriet raise an eyebrow and fold her arms with a look of watching a good show. Her face flushed with anger and she glared viciously at Harriet.If Delbert's impression of her worsened because of this drama, could Harriet bear the responsibility?She would never be done with Harriet!But no matter how much Lily wanted to settle scores with Harriet, Delbert was by her side now.She could forget settling scores. Delbert wouldn't even let her touch Harriet!Lily glanced at Harriet who seemed to enjoy
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
