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. I’ll be with you for a lifetime, accompanying you in all that you wish to do."Though short, that statement moved Harriet more than any grand declaration of love could have done.Delbert wasn’t one for eloquence, but every word he spoke stirred waves in her heart.His actions proved his commitment to her, showing that his love was genuine.Whether in the past or now, it remained unchanged.Harriet smiled and thought that was enough.Delbert turned his head and suddenly placed his hand on Harriet's lips. He gently caressed them for a while.When she least expected it, he seized the opportunity and kissed her.This sudden kiss didn't startle Harriet. The atmosphere was ripe for such intimacy. Yet in the midst of their kiss, Delbert suddenly pressed closer and pinned Harriet beneath him.As
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. Harriet couldn't make decisions unilaterally.Hurriedly entering the meeting room, Harriet apologized to everyone before taking her seat.Sadie sat in a prominent position, watching Harriet arrive late. She couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks."Who do we have here? The esteemed Ms. Harriet, showing up late for a collaboration meeting is quite disrespectful, don't you think?"Now that
Delbert lowered his gaze.He would never allow anyone to interfere with his relationship with Harriet.He knew Sadie's intentions but had always only had Harriet in his heart since childhood. 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. Ple
Just when their passion was escalating, they suddenly heard a knocking at the door from outside.It turned out that the documents had been processed, and the specific details of their collaboration needed Harriet's approval before signing.The secretary knocked on the door for a while, thinking that perhaps Harriet hadn't heard her. She knocked a few more times."Ms. Harriet, I have organized the documents. I need you to review them before signing. Are you in?"The secretary wasn't sure if Harriet was in the office or not. However, as Harriet was the general manager, the secretary couldn't simply barge in.There was a knock on the door. Harriet appeared somewhat flustered.Feeling even more nervous inside, she flushed again. "Delbert, let go of me quickly. There's someone outside!" Harriet whispered softly as a reminder, but Delbert didn't release his grip.Instead, he continued his actions without paying any attention to Harriet's increasingly heavy breathing.After
After leaving the company, Sadie immediately rushed back home. She looked at the photos she had backed up, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She had already instructed her assistant to contact the entertainment news reporters. With these photos in hand, she could easily frame Harriet with a scandalous reputation overnight.Thinking that, she inquired about the current situation from her assistant at once. The assistant made the call. They had already arranged for the news to be released. All articles were edited and ready for her review. "No need to show me. The more sensational, the better!" She instructed, "Keep it confidential. No one must know it was me."After these brief instructions, the call was disconnected. The news spread rapidly, with Sadie even hiring online influencers to stir up the controversy. Within an hour, photos of Harriet and Delbert had become explosive news.Negative public opinion quickly shifted towards Harriet, accusing her of betraying
Delbert gritted his teeth and immediately dispatched security guards to remove the troublemakers causing a scene for money. Unable to tolerate Sadie's continuous harassment of Harriet, Delbert was about to confront her, but suddenly he received a call from her.Not wanting Harriet to suffer further harm, Delbert reluctantly backed down. He closed himself in the study before answering her call."Sadie, do you want to die? I can make it happen!" Delbert coldly threatened before Sadie could say anything.Shrugging nonchalantly, Sadie didn't directly answer his question. "I've booked a hotel, Delbert. I'm inviting you for dinner tonight. I'll send you the location."Although her invitation seemed irresistible, Delbert had no patience to entertain her and bluntly stated, "I won't give you another chance, Sadie. This time, you’ll have to make amends to Harriet."Knowing that Delbert wouldn't agree to meet her, Sadie held a trump card and wasn't afraid of his refusal. "Delbert,
Driving away quickly, Delbert furrowed his brows deeply. He was consumed with thoughts about his missing brother and pondered numerous possibilities. But what intrigued him the most was why Sadie knew the whereabouts of his long-lost brother. He had to clarify the cause and effect of the situation today. If she dared to deceive him? He would never let her get away with it!With that thought in mind, he stepped on the gas pedal, increasing the speed of his car. However, at a corner ahead, several black cars suddenly appeared and headed straight towards Delbert. With quick reflexes, Delbert managed to avoid a collision by turning the direction of his car in time.Initially thinking the other party was drunk, upon closer observation, Delbert realized they were clearly after him. When the plan foiled, the black cars restarted and aggressively approached Delbert's car. Realizing the danger, Delbert immediately accelerated and tried to escape.Despite his efforts, the ca
Even though Delbert was several years older than him, Levi felt uncomfortable looking at that face that bore some resemblance to his own. That was why he always referred to him as "that brat." But now that Delbert was missing, it was unsettling for Yvonne, so he had to help find him."Thank you, Levi. I appreciate your help in finding Delbert." Harriet nodded anxiously, sitting on the sofa looking extremely uneasy.Levi immediately took out his phone and called his other brothers, instructing them to use their connections and resources to search for Delbert. Even if they had to turn the whole city upside down, they must find Delbert.Since it wasn’t yet time to file a missing person report, Harriet had to accompany Levi to utilize their resources in the search for Delbert. During the search, Harriet's heart beat faster and faster. Without news of Delbert, every moment felt like an eternity.In the afternoon, Arthur finally had some news. He hurriedly came to the villa
