Chapter 707"Nothing is going well," Sadie said bitterly.She then recounted everything that had happened during the day."Harriet went too far, relying on her position as chairman to bully me," Sadie sulked, pouring out her grievances. "The whole company is targeting me. This is personal. Harriet is malicious and jealous of me, so she finds ways to make trouble for me.""Take it easy. It's not worth it," Delbert comforted her."I don't want to be angry, but that's too much. I'm Ms. Bass. Why should I be humiliated by such a woman of unknown origin?" Sadie argued.She was dissatisfied with Delbert's perfunctory response and was about to question him, but when she saw his gentle expression, she couldn't bring herself to be angry anymore.It was fine, as long as Delbert was by her side.However, she was not going to let Harriet off that easily.She swore that she would make Harriet pay the price.Since Harriet could dismiss her confidant, why couldn't she dismiss the people bro
Chapter 708"Carol, don't leave. I'll be right there," said Harriet on the phone.Carol thought Harriet was just trying to comfort her, so she agreed and hung up the phone."What's wrong? Yvonne?" Levi asked."My friend encountered some problems. I need to go to the company to help her handle it. Levi, can you ride me there?" Harriet said, suspecting it was Sadie's doing.She would not let it go easily."Sure!" Levi nodded.Soon, they arrived at the office building of the Bass Group.Harriet got out of the car and saw Carol sitting alone on a bench.After leaving Wendell's company, Carol now faced another unfair situation. When she saw Harriet approaching, she couldn't help but burst into tears.After Carol finished venting, Harriet used the tissue to wipe away her tears, comforted her, and took her to confront Sadie.Sadie was in the conference room.The human resources manager was introducing the new employee, Krista Byrd, to all the staff. "Everyone, take a look at the d
Chapter 709"I'm looking for Krista," Carol said, spotting Krista. "She was the one who stole my design draft."She pointed at Krista, full of grievance.Krista panicked, but she forced herself to calm down, casting a pleading glance at the HR director."Carol, you have already been dismissed by us. You are no longer part of our company. It's meeting time now, and you should leave," the HR director reprimanded."It's her. She was the one who stole my design draft." Carol grabbed Krista's arm, tears falling uncontrollably, and shouted at her with a sense of injustice, "I trusted you so much. Why did you steal my things?"The others present had no idea what was happening, but the company's priority was to protect its interests."Carol, this is not a place where you can act recklessly. Please leave. If you have any unpleasantness with our new colleagues, please discuss it privately. Don't make a scene here!"It was clear that these people were ganging up on Carol because she had n
Chapter 710Earlier, Carol had already had a private quarrel with her, but now Krista was still lying in front of so many people."Ms. Munoz, I..." Carol looked at Harriet in great distress, feeling wronged and not knowing what to do.Harriet's gaze shifted to Krista, whom she had given a chance.The circle in this industry was small, and every designer had their own pride. Designers who stole others' design drafts would be despised.If this matter got out, it would have a serious negative impact on Krista's career.Krista was just in her twenties, and everyone made mistakes at some point. If she admitted her mistake now, Harriet would downplay the issue."Are you sure this is your design draft?" Harriet asked again."Yes!" Krista nodded without hesitation."Well, in that case," Harriet said coldly, "Miss Byrd, if it's found out that you stole someone else's work, you will need to take legal responsibility.""What evidence do you have to prove that these drafts were not drawn
Chapter 711Krista glanced at everyone present. Since things had escalated to this point, she had to prove herself and untangle the previous lies.She bravely took the brush and design book from Harriet's hand and started sketching.Meanwhile, Carol quickly put her ideas into action. She had many thoughts to begin with, and to prove herself, she worked even faster.In contrast, Krista couldn't produce anything with the pen.In less than twenty minutes, Carol had already finished.On the other hand, Krista's design was still in its initial stages.It was now clear who the liar was."Krista, now will you admit that you stole my design draft?" Carol took a deep breath and questioned Krista."Yes, I took it. So what?" Krista said defiantly."Krista, you should apologize to Carol," the HR director demanded.Although it was Sadie's order to dismiss Carol, she couldn't defy Harriet.Krista was taken aback. Before she could react, she heard the HR director repeat, "Apologize."Und
Chapter 712The HR director was taken aback, thinking that she had misheard.She was under Sadie's management. How dare Harriet openly kick her out of the company?"I said the person who should leave this company should be her," Harriet repeated.They locked eyes, and the atmosphere immediately became tense."Ms. Munoz, this is not fair!" The HR director gritted her teeth."Since you called me chairman, it means I have the final say in this company. Therefore, I have the right to dismiss someone who occupies a position without fulfilling their duties," Harriet declared. "Even if you complain to Felipe and Sadie, it won't make any difference. I hold more shares than the two of them combined, and besides..."Harriet paused and sneered, "My eldest brother is the leader of a top assassination organization, and my second brother is the business emperor of Imperium. You should know what will happen if you offend me."The HR director never expected that Harriet had such an extensive b
Chapter 713"If that's not good enough, then just deduct half a year's salary," Bruce tried again.It was a serious punishment for Mindy Buchanan.Even if Harriet wanted to make an example out of Mindy, she should still leave some room for negotiation. That was a rule in the workplace.However, Harriet still didn't agree. "Dismissal is the punishment. No room for negotiation."She was really pushing people to the edge.When Mindy first heard that her salary would be deducted, she was discontented, and when it was mentioned that half a year's salary would be deducted, she managed to suppress her anger. But now that Harriet still wouldn't budge, Mindy couldn't hold back any longer."Harriet, even though you are the chairman of the company, you only own fifty percent of the shares. The other fifty percent belongs to Mr. and Miss Bass. I am the HR director of the company, and if you want to dismiss me, you need their consent," Mindy said defiantly.Even if Harriet had powerful back
Chapter 714"Finally, we got rid of Mindy. Let's go celebrate it at a bar tonight.""Ha-ha, I want to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Our new chairman has done a fantastic job."...In the underground parking lot, Mindy berated Krista, "I asked you to come for an interview. No matter how your drawings turned out, I would have hired you. Did you really need to go and steal someone else's design draft? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this. How could I have such a stupid cousin like you?""I didn't think that much at the time. I found her design draft beautiful and was worried about my own work, so I...""What do you have to worry about? I have the final say in the company's personnel. Your stupid actions have cost me my job," Mindy huffed, throwing her things into the trunk and getting in the car.Instead of leaving directly, she made a phone call. "Miss Bass, you must uphold justice for me."...Sadie was furious after hearing about what happened to Mind
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
