Chapter 651

Author: Cheryl Rice
Although Harriet and the Bass brothers already knew that Sadie was the one who harmed Miriam, hearing it directly from Miriam still made them extremely angry.

After a pause, Miriam continued, "After I faked my death and escaped from your father, Clifton, I returned to Imperium. I had planned to ask your grandfather to save you, but I saw your good friend holding your token and becoming the daughter of the Bass family.

"When she saw me return, feeling guilty, she took advantage of the lack of people around and pushed me down the stairs. It resulted in me lying here unconscious..."

As Miriam told the story, tears streamed down her face.

When she mentioned the name of her enemy, her tone noticeably intensified.

Then, her eyes momentarily lost focus, as if a scene flashed through her mind.

    At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the Bass brothers varied, but most of them were filled with determination against those few individuals."Don't worry, Ms. Miriam. Leave this matter to us. You can stay here for a full recovery. Once you're better, we'll move away from this place of trouble.""Everything that belongs to Yvonne will be reclaimed by us!"Upon hearing that, Miriam had a faint smile on her pale face. She was relieved and delighted. She didn’t expect her adopted sons to be so outstanding. Seeing them united filled her with joy.She was about to say something more when her mouth opened but her eyes suddenly noticed a man standing silently in the corner.She squinted her eyes to make out his features and exclaimed in surprise, "You... Aren't you the little boy who lived next door to us when you were young?"The woman's son hadn't changed at all. Even as an adult, he still wore that indifferent expression.Fearful of being mistaken, Miriam looked at him

Their mouths remained slightly open for a while before closing again.It would be best not to let Harriet know about what happened in the past.After all, it was something no one could bear.Miriam reached out and ruffled Harriet's hair, "Silly girl, there's really nothing wrong. You were young at that time. Forgetting things is quite normal."Upon hearing that, Harriet let go of many doubts in her heart and smiled lightly."Alright, mom, I understand."Then everyone gathered around the hospital bed, exchanging heartwarming words that made Miriam laugh joyfully."Alright, alright, all of you are so sweet and good kids!"Miriam smiled at everyone and then patted Harriet's hand. After a sigh, she said, "I'm fine now. It's getting late. You should all go back. I need some rest too. I just woke up, and my body still feels uncomfortable. Maybe a good night's sleep will help."Upon hearin

    "Mom... please, just tell me the truth about what happened back then. I know you've been hiding something from me.""Harriet, you..." Miriam was taken aback. She was about to offer some excuses but saw her daughter frowning with an urgent expression."Mom, please tell me. These are my memories after all. Losing them feels terrible. I have the right to know the truth, don't I?"After hearing that, Miriam was somewhat hesitant. She really didn't want Harriet to suffer another blow, but... Harriet was right. She had the right to know the truth. Miriam sighed, and the tight grip of her teeth eventually loosened."You should have the silver needles I gave you. Take them out."Harriet breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled out a few short but delicate silver needles from her belt."One is enough. Extend your hand."Miriam then used the silver needle to help Harriet unlock her memories. As the memories flooded back, it felt like a dam bursting open, crashing fiercely on

    Harriet cried as she said, "Delbert, do you know? I actually saw my father kill my mother in front of me. I witnessed such a scene..."But I couldn't do anything. My mother's despairing eyes are still fresh in my memory, but I couldn't do anything..."Harriet's voice trembled with each word, evoking deep sympathy. Delbert clenched his teeth, understanding Harriet's sense of helplessness. He had experienced a similar feeling when his brother was swept away by the river in front of him, and he couldn't save him.The pain of being unable to act in such situations was something he understood all too well.However, with many years having passed since then, he was unsure how to comfort Harriet in this moment.Perhaps what mattered most now was for Harriet to realize that she was never alone, and she could always confide in him.As long as Harriet was willing, he would always be there to listen to her.Harriet tightly held onto Delbert's clothes, crying in his arms for quite some t

He glanced down at Harriet in his arms and suddenly felt curious about what she had been thinking at that time."Then tell me the reason. I'm quite curious. Why couldn't you sleep well because of this?"Delbert knowingly asked, just teasing Harriet.Blushing slightly, Harriet appeared somewhat embarrassed. Delbert's lips curled into a mischievous smile. He wanted Harriet to willingly reveal it herself."You clearly know the reason. Why are you asking me?""I don't know everything, Harriet. I'm not as clever as yo

    Harriet and Delbert locked eyes and smiled at each other."Harriet, since you say this’s a destined matter, there's no need for you to thank me. We still have a long journey ahead of us.

    Sadie's face suddenly appeared in Harriet's mind, and she furrowed her brow, feeling a surge of hatred.It was Sadie, her childhood best friend who, after Harriet lost her memory, secretly took away her token and her life.Despite all that, Sadie remained unrepentant. In order to secure her position, she heartlessly pushed Harriet’s mother down the stairs, causing Harriet’s mother to remain unconscious for so many years. Harriet would never let her get away with it.Even though she didn't particularly want to see Sadie at the moment, this was a collaboration between two companies.

He didn't care about others' feelings and would never make Harriet uncomfortable for the sake of others."Sadie, if you continue to pester us, I won't hesitate to ruin your reputation. You know me—I always say what I mean."Delbert's words were straightforward and clear. Sadie frowned and was about to say something else.But unexpectedly, Harriet turned Delbert's face towards her and kissed him directly in front of everyone.Seeing Delbert and Harriet publicly display such affectionate behavior left Sadie infuriated. She gritted her teeth and her pupils constricted suddenly.However, with so many people present, she could only try to remain calm.After the kiss, Harriet proudly leaned into Delbert's embrace and gave Sadie a triumphant look."Excuse me, this’s my man, Miss Sadie.
