Chapter 660

Author: Cheryl Rice
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.

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.

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.

    The henchmen of the Bass brothers moved the wreckage of the car to the shore.The car windows and windshield were smashed to pieces, and the vehicle was severely deformed. If it were someone else, it would be hard to determine whose car it was at first sight. However, Harriet recognized it at a glance and ran forward frantically."This’s Delbert's car. It must be. I can tell it’s his!" "Yvonne, calm down a bit. Things may not be as bad as they seem!" Arthur and Levi quickly stopped her to prevent her from getting hurt. What if Delbert's body was really inside the car?Levi gave a signal.His people hurriedly approached, immediately trying to remove the deformed car door.

    No! That body couldn't be Delbert! Harriet waited quietly in the examination room, feeling unbearable pain and anxiety.After half an hour, the forensic doctor came out and said, "Through examination, we can confirm that the deceased is Mr. Delbert."That sentence was like a bolt from the blue, causing Harriet's head to ache terribly. "It's impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't believe it. Delbert can't be dead!"Harriet couldn't accept this result and broke down into tears. The painful feeling grew stronger. She felt her brain going blank as tears flowed uncontrollably. "Delbert promised to be with me forever. We were just together for such a short time. How could he abandon me like this? It's impossible! I don't believe it!"At this moment, she was on the verge of collapsing and fainted directly."Yvonne, Yvonne!" Her brothers were shocked and quickly supported her. "Doctor! Is there a doctor? Come quickly. My sister has fainted!" Several nurses rushed ove

    Sadie felt extremely fortunate and quickly brought Delbert back home to receive the best medical care. Fortunately, he was out of danger. Sadie breathed a long sigh of relief. After that, another evil thought crept into her mind—to imprison Delbert so he would always be by her side and never see Harriet again. Perhaps over time, he would fall in love with her. There was a possibility.Sadie sighed deeply at this thought. Originally, this step wasn’t part of her plan, but her desires were driving her madly, leading her to where she was today. She didn't regret it. Looking at Delbert peacefully sleeping on the bed, she smiled faintly.As for the body salvaged by the Bass brothers, it was a fake body arranged by Sadie when she brought Delbert back.

    Upon hearing that, Sadie became anxious. "What else could it be? You were in danger. Your belongings were destroyed. Now you have to start over. Doesn't it take time to do all these things? Am I supposed to conjure them up for you now?" Sadie frowned slightly. Although she wanted Delbert, looking at the foolish man in front of her, she felt inexplicably annoyed.In reality, she still preferred the cold and rational Delbert, not this man who couldn't remember anything. She also felt guilty, fearing that he might remember something. Delbert squinted slightly, intending to say something, but Sadie impatiently took out a jewel pendant from the side and handed it to him."Delbert, don't you recognize this? This‘s the token of love you gave me when we were kids."This jewel pendant was the token of love that Delbert gave to Harriet when they were young, but Sadie stole it. Now it could come in handy. As soon as it appeared, Delbert's eyes widened, and he involuntarily shouted,
