Chapter 696Sadie laughed, "I made it clear just now. I helped you before, and now it's time for you to help me. If you don't help me get through this crisis, I will have to reveal everything that happened back then. Even if everything falls apart, I'm not afraid. I just wonder if you are afraid."Felipe's chest heaved. He never expected to be threatened in his lifetime. But now, what choice did he have? Everything was beyond his control."Sadie, you really play a good conspiracy, calculating me to this extent," he said."Well, will you help me or not?" Sadie said."Do I have a choice?" Felipe calmed down and said, "Don't worry. I will figure out a way. This is a tricky matter, and I need time to think about it."Sadie nodded. "The sooner, the better. I have to go."She turned around and left the room.Felipe lingered for a moment before getting up. He planned to go to Harriet's villa.In this matter, Miriam was the breakthrough.If he couldn't solve the problem, he could get
Chapter 697"Felipe, we believe you. Don't beat yourself up," Miriam said.Andy sighed and also expressed his forgiveness to Felipe.Relieved, Felipe said, "By the way, three days later, I want to invite you, Harriet, Miriam, and your eight adopted sons to attend the Bass family banquet. At that time, I will reveal the truth and personally send Sadie to prison."Miriam and Andy were pleased with Felipe's change of heart.Once they dealt with Sadie, they could live harmoniously."She deserves it! I won't let her off the hook, and I will return everything to Harriet," Felipe added.In fact, he wanted to take them all down in one fell swoop....When the sky was adorned with twinkling stars, Harriet returned home from work.She opened the door, changed into slippers, and lay down on the sofa.Miriam brought over a fruit plate. Harriet took it and sweetly said, "Thank you, Mom."Andy also came to the sofa. They exchanged looks, and Miriam finally mentioned the matter."Felipe
Chapter 698"What should we do?" Harriet was worried about the situation."We will attend the banquet, but everyone must be cautious. Let's see what tricks Felipe is playing," Arthur said."Okay!" Harriet readily agreed....Soon, it was the day of the banquet. Harriet took her brother, mother, and Andy to attend it.They got out of the car and saw Felipe waiting at the entrance."Harriet, you're here," he said warmly.Felipe's affectionate words gave Harriet goosebumps. 'When did Felipe become so slick?' she thought.His smiling face only made her feel insincere.After greeting Harriet, Felipe greeted the others.Although Felipe appeared very friendly and seemed to have no ill intentions, Harriet became more convinced that he was orchestrating something big.Harriet remained vigilant, wary of everything present.At the banquet, Harriet stood elegantly, swaying the wine in her glass while surveying the surroundings. She didn't drink at all. The wine glass was just her di
Chapter 699Holding her goblet, Harriet scoffed, "Things stolen from others won't last long!"With that, she picked up a piece of cake with a spoon and put it in her mouth.But when Delbert was so intimate with another woman, she felt a pricking pain in her heart.She put her hands on her chest, unwilling to let anyone see her discomfort.'After we deal with Sadie, Delbert will come back to me,' she reminded herself.Sadie glanced at Harriet in the distance and went up with Delbert.Intentionally, she said to Harriet, "This is the Bass family's banquet. What are you, an outsider, doing here? It's funny."She covered her mouth and sarcastically chuckled.Harriet shot back, "Where do you get the nerve to say such things? I thought you were talking about yourself. Isn't this just slapping yourself in the face?"Annoyed, Sadie pointed at Harriet's nose.The Bass brothers heard the commotion and quickly walked over.Oliver was annoyed by Sadie's arrogant attitude and grabbed her
Chapter 700"It seems that you don't want your hands anymore," Arthur sneered. "Get lost! Don't disgust us."Sadie wanted to argue, but Levi chimed in, "Shut it! If I hear one more insult toward Harriet coming out of your mouth, I'll kill you right now. You know I have the power to do so!"Sadie was daunted, fully aware of Levi's power.Andy saw them arguing and went to find Felipe."Father, why haven't you taken care of Sadie yet? You promised to personally send her to prison, give her the punishment she deserves, and return the power to Harriet and Miriam."Felipe sneered, "Son, that's naïve of you."Andy understood his meaning.Sure enough, Felipe was scheming against them.Andy played dumb and asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mean by that?""Isn't it obvious? I was deceiving you all," Felipe laughed. "You're silly, son.""What is your purpose in bringing us here?" Andy said incredulously.Felipe did not reply, just clapping his hands.Soon, the hotel was crowded
Chapter 701Felipe had no choice but to answer their questions. After all, he had lost all his subordinates.He spoke slowly, "I never said I would harm you.""Father, I am truly disappointed in you," Andy said bitterly.Miriam was even more disappointed. "Felipe, we trust you so much, coming to participate in the family banquet, and this is how you treat us? I don't have a brother like you."Felipe remained indifferent. No matter what they said, he didn't care. All he cared about was the power of the Bass family."I will spare you this time for the sake of when you saved me in my childhood. But the next time we meet, we will be enemies. Harriet, let's go."With that, Miriam led Harriet, Andy, and the Bass brothers to leave.Harriet took a deep look at Delbert.But he was comforting Sadie, who was frightened by the scene.'Would Sadie be afraid? She is pretending.' Harriet thought bitterly.When Harriet returned to the villa, her face was very grim and pale.Miriam felt gui
Chapter 702Sadie broke down all at once.She slumped onto the nearby chair, unsure of what to do."How could this happen?" she muttered.If the Bass family went bankrupt, what would be the point of her being Ms. Bass?Felipe quickly told the employee, "Notify all departments. No matter what means they use and no matter the cost, they must stop the current situation."But his tone lacked confidence.He had a faint idea of who was behind this.It must be the Bass brothers.Felipe turned to look at Sadie and scoffed, "We're in trouble. Satisfied now? If it weren't for you insisting on dealing with Harriet, we wouldn't have ended up like this."Sadie was provoked by his words.She stood up and glared at him. "What do you mean by that? You sound like the plummeting stock price has something to do with me. The company is losing money, and I am just as anxious. Besides, dealing with Harriet was also what you wanted, wasn't it? Why do you blame it all on me?"Felipe snorted, "You'
Chapter 703Delbert had been lurking in the Bass family for so long just to gather evidence.Fortunately, a rash move by Felipe accelerated his plan.In fact, everything Delbert did was for Harriet, and his feigned amnesia was just to acquire evidence. Initially, he thought that only by getting close could he obtain evidence, but he didn't expect to overhear a conversation between the two people today and record the truth.When the time came to reveal the truth to the public, the Bass family would naturally return to Harriet's hands.Having captured the desired content, Delbert left with satisfaction.He would wait for the right moment to expose the conspiracy....The Bass Group's stock price plummeted, causing anxiety among the employees. Many people sensed the danger and even decided to resign.Even the shareholders began to sell off their shares, cutting losses early to avoid losing everything in the end.Levi noticed their actions and found Harriet."Yvonne, now the s
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
