Chapter 68 The Battle of WordsNora believed that if she kept mentioning to Delbert that Harriet liked Vernon, Delbert would ultimately be disgusted by Harriet's fickle nature.Harriet pouted and made a face as if she was about to cry. She clung to Delbert, seeking solace in his arms."Nora is lying. I've never said that to Vernon. Believe me, okay?"Her coquettish demeanor was undeniably captivating.Delbert's deep eyes flashed with fiery desire."I believe you."With just three words, he made his position and attitude clear."Nora, did you hear that? Delbert believes in me. Don't think you can break us up," Harriet declared, proudly looking at Nora.Nora was pissed off."Harriet, how could you think so poorly of me? I'm just telling the truth."Nora appeared aggrieved, pinching her thigh hard to force out tears. Her acting skills were top-notch.Nora's words insinuated that Harriet was a schemer who held ill intentions toward her.As she wiped her tears pitifully, she wi
Chapter 69 The Scheming Sister"I don't care. I never said those words. Nora is lying."Harriet mimicked Nora's unreasonable behavior, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at Nora and Vernon, like an irritated pufferfish.Nora, filled with rage, shot deliberate and pitiful looks in Delbert's direction, hoping to gain his sympathy.But Delbert remained indifferent. Since arriving at the house, he hadn't spared her a single glance."Delbert, I am telling the truth. Why is Harriet intentionally targeting me?"Is it because you are here today that she dares not admit what she said to Vernon? But I believe you are not someone who holds grudges like this, right?"Harriet, if you just tell Delbert the truth, he won't blame you. Every girl has her first love."If you insist on denying this, then I can only apologize to you. I'm sorry, Harriet. Maybe it's because you were so close to Vernon in the past that I misunderstood. Can you please stop being mad at me?"Nora feigned innoce
Chapter 70 The Intricate GameHarriet shook Delbert's shoulders. But beneath the facade of innocence, she pinched his waist.She winked at him, implying that he should speak up for her.The composed mask on Delbert's face showed cracks, revealing the turmoil within.His body stiffened as he focused on the warmth radiating from the palm of Harriet's hand.That restless hand continued its slow descent down his waist.She was not an innocent rabbit, but a seductive fox.If Harriet sought support through unorthodox means, Delbert had to do something."All right, I'm here to support you!" he declared, pressing Harriet against his chest.He bit her ear and whispered with a hoarse, seductive voice.Until Harriet blushed, Delbert's gaze pierced through Nora like a sharp blade."Harriet is mine. Unless she becomes blind, she won't like others."He paused and added, "Even if she were momentarily blinded, I would not blame or despise her."Harriet, feeling offended, scratched his arm
With this strategy in mind, Nora immediately changed the way of talking to him. "Sorry, Mr. Delbert, I misspoke. Please forgive me."Unable to bear the scene, Bessie quickly intervened and pleaded for Nora. "Mr. Delbert, please have mercy and forgive my daughter Nora. She is young and knows nothing. It's inevitable that she says wrong things."Clifton also tried to appease Delbert. "Mr. Delbert, please cool down and have your meal. The food will taste bad when it gets cold. I promise I'll teach the rebellious girl a good lesson in a while!"With that, he shot a fierce look at Nora. Vernon had been quietly watching. This was the Munoz family's affair, and he had no right to interfere.But the crazed and twisted look in his eyes revealed that he was not content to remain silent. Although everyone else was speaking up for Nora, Harriet had no intention to drop this so soon. Since she had come to the Munoz family's house, she would definitely make the Munozs suffer great fina
Only after a long while did Nora regain her voice and speak stiffly. But before she could finish, Delbert interrupted her, "Shut up! How dare you address her as a fool?"His demeanor felt like a fierce ruler's, oppressive and terrifying. Nora shivered and subconsciously began apologizing, "Sorry, sorry!""I don't want to repeat it. If I don't see the news report about you tomorrow, the entire Munoz family will suffer with you!"Delbert was now the king of Meawood City. No one dared to contradict his orders. Therefore, after he gave her a simple glance, Nora didn't dare to refute anymore. "Mr. Delbert, don't worry. I'll make sure she apologizes!" Clifton promised Delbert, smiling flatteringly. All the people in their seats felt nauseated by what he said.Certainly, Delbert would ignore him. He just watched Harriet soulfully, clearly hinting to her, "My darling, I'm backing you up now. Are you satisfied?"How could Harriet not be satisfied? She immediately clenched Delbert
Delbert's sudden move caught Harriet off guard and left her in a panic.She immediately blinked her watery eyes, looking at him with ignorance."Delbert, what are you doing?"This was a bathroom!"Do something bad!"Delbert's low and bewitching voice suddenly reached Harriet's ears, causing her face to flush and her body to feel weak.Delbert knew Harriet would fall for such tricks, so he dared to be so wanton. He was not to blame. Harriet was. It was this girl who had aroused his sexual desire. Delbert was satisfied that just now at the dining table. Harriet knew to ask him for help, but the girl had indeed disturbed his mind peace. Unexpectedly, her unrestrained behavior was truly… enticing!He had always been proud of his calmness and self-control, but they were useless when he faced Harriet. He had been working hard to suppress his desire, just waiting for this moment to severely "punish" the girl.After all, she ran after arousing his desire!"What… what kind of
She pouted and looked at Delbert, her voice soft and weak, her eyes filled with tears.Her man was so dominant that she had to yield for him to let her go.Delbert maintained an unwavering face but didn't overlook the mischievous glint in Harriet's eyes. In an instant, he learned about her trick. Oh, she wanted to act miserable again to make him let her go?He wouldn't be fooled again!Today, he would make it clear to Harriet who her man was and where her gaze should be. He wouldn't let her shift her gaze to Vernon again whenever she saw him. Seeing him staring intensely at her with fervent eyes, without saying no or letting her go, Harriet felt nervous. She began turning her eyes, scheming. She held his handsome face with her cold hands, her eyes red. "Delbert, didn't you say the other day on the back of the hill that you would listen to me in the future? But after only a few days, you stop listening, eh? Waaa..." With a twitch of her nose, Harriet gathered her sad fee
"Why can't I open the door?" Nora complained. "Harriet, Mr. Delbert," she called. "Mom and Dad asked me to come over and take a look. Did anything happen?" The footsteps drew closer, the door handle clanked as it was forcefully turned, and a woman was speaking. Only then did Harriet snap out of her daze.Nora had come. If Nora caught her and Delbert in such a state in the bathroom… it would be bad for her, and also very damaging to Delbert's reputation.He had just become the president of the Carlson Group, so he couldn't afford any scandal at this critical moment. "Delbert, my sister is here. Let me go, okay?"Harriet's legs stiffened as she gently pushed Delbert, but the latter didn't let her go. She nibbled her lip unconsciously and wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist, her eyes pleading with him for help.Delbert remained calm and was even a little excited.He barely opened his thin-lipped mouth, his voice low and distant. "Why do you have to be afraid? Aren'
