Chapter 751"No, I just felt that we haven't been intimate for a long time, so I prepared these," Sadie said with a sly smile.Delbert pursed his lips. "You're so sweet!"He chewed the food and felt like it was tasteless.Sadie kept talking about their future, and Delbert occasionally nodded in response.He could tell that Sadie had something to tell him next.Sadie put down her fork and knife before calling out to him.Her coquettish tone made Delbert feel disgusted.He looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"Their eyes met, and Sadie stared at him greedily."Since we are about to get engaged, how about you transfer your assets to me, as a betrothal gift?" she said.Delbert raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes.He knew that Sadie was greedy, but he didn't expect her to covet his assets.Unfortunately, Sadie was a bit naïve if she thought she could deceive him."Sure! My assets are your assets!" Delbert replied.His tone was calm and gentle.The night enveloped h
Chapter 752Sadie didn't want to waste any time. She wanted the agreement to come into effect as soon as possible.Ben took the agreement and almost laughed out when he saw Delbert's signature."What are you laughing about?" Sadie glared at Ben, feeling like he was laughing at her.Ben cleared his throat and said, "Nothing! Congratulations, Miss Bass!"Ben was just too familiar with Delbert's signature. Every time Delbert signed a contract, he liked to add 'HM' after his name. That was an abbreviation of Harriet's name, and not many knew about it.However, it was missing from this agreement, which meant that the agreement was not valid.It seemed that Sadie didn't know, and she was dreaming about getting Delbert's assets.Ben glanced at Delbert, who nodded in response.Their actions were subtle and hard to notice.As Ben remained silent, Sadie lost her patience."What do you think? Can you transfer Delbert's assets to me now?" she asked."Well, you have to wait for a while.
Chapter 753Harriet listened to Delbert's deep voice and started missing him."Thank you for your hard work. I will reward you," she said."Oh?" Delbert smiled, asking, "I want to have twins. Will you grant my wish?""Come on!" Harriet felt helpless.The reward she mentioned was not this."I meant that I would cook for you." Harriet wanted to know what it felt like to cook for him.Delbert laughed. "You're not good at cooking. Just forget it! Your well-being is the greatest reward for me."Harriet chuckled, "Are you afraid that I'll blow up the house?"They chatted until Harriet fell asleep.Delbert listened to her even breathing and reluctantly hung up the phone.When dawn broke, the Bass brothers came and disturbed her sleep.Harriet was wearing cute pajamas, unable to open her eyes. Then she noticed the anger on their faces."What's wrong?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.Her adorable appearance eased their anger.Henry was the first to speak. "My dear sister, do you kno
Chapter 754"Ah, didn't I already explain everything to you now? Don't worry too much about me. I've grown up," Harriet said."To us, you're always a child," Justin said, rubbing her head.They calmed down, knowing that Harriet had grown up now and had her own thoughts. They should let her handle her own things.They would always support her, but they couldn't stay around her forever.After arriving in Meawood City, Ben waited for a few days and then called Sadie."Miss Bass, there are some documents here for you to sign," he claimed."What kind of documents?" Sadie asked impatiently. She had given Ben all the necessary information. Why did she still have to go there in person?Ben's words were diplomatic and hard to understand.But Sadie didn't feel like going there. "Can't you just mail the documents to me? Or you can bring them to me.""Miss Bass, there is a high risk of the documents being lost by the delivery company during shipping. Moreover, it takes at least three d
Chapter 755Delbert didn't say anything, and Sadie continued, "There is a huge amusement park. Shall we go take a look?"Delbert wanted to go, but not with her.Harriet loved amusement parks.They went to the airport and boarded the plane.Delbert put on an eye mask and said, "I'll take a rest. Wake me up when we arrive."Soon, he fell asleep and dreamed of Harriet. They were holding hands and racing through various attractions at the amusement park, just like before.Her laughter echoed in his ears, and he smiled heartily.Sadie saw his smile and thought that he was dreaming of her. She leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep too.Soon, they arrived in Meawood City.They walked out of the airport together. In the early morning, the air was damp, and the sky was murky.They picked up their luggage and headed toward the booked hotel.Two people approached them and asked for directions.Sadie shook her head and said, "We just arrived, and we don't know."Daunted by the stran
Chapter 756"Delbert, where are you? Help!" Sadie cried out. "Sir, she's awake," someone reported.Delbert and Ben were playing chess. Delbert paused and said indifferently, "I see."He wasn't in a hurry to go over. He wanted Sadie to suffer a bit.It wasn't until they finished the whole game that Delbert strolled over.As he entered the basement, he heard Sadie sobbing, "Is anyone there? Please save me."She had been struggling and hadn't had any food. Now she had no strength left in her."What do you want? I can give you money and everything. Just let me go," she said with a weak voice.Delbert signaled his men to give her some food.He couldn't let her starve, not until he obtained what he wanted.Someone opened the door, went in, and fed Sadie some food.She ate so eagerly that food scraps smeared her face, but she didn't care.While swallowing, she asked, "Who are you people? Who sent you to kidnap me? And where did you take Delbert?""Are you full?" Delbert asked,
Chapter 757At Delbert's order, those men came up and slapped Sadie across the face.Sadie's cheeks swelled, and the blood dripped from her mouth.She screamed. With her aggressive personality, she had always relied on her power to bully others. She had never been hit before and didn't know what pain felt like.Now these men were merciless.She felt like she was going to die."I was wrong, Delbert. Please make them stop," she pleaded.Delbert indifferently told them to stop. "Reflect on your actions. I hope that the next time I come to see you, I will hear what I want to know."He turned and left.Filled with despair, Sadie had no chance of escaping from this dim basement.Thinking about the upcoming ordeal, she shuddered.She thought Delbert was just seeking revenge for that night when she tricked him into going out and had someone run over him. Little did she know that Delbert did everything for Harriet.After Delbert left, he ordered someone, "Give her some medicine. Try
Chapter 758Sadie was nervous. At first, she went to Imperium with Harriet's token, but Felipe saw through her trick.But instead of driving her away, Felipe chose to work with her. Felipe, an adopted son, wanted to use Sadie to control the Bass family. After Miriam returned, Felipe simply stood by when Sadie pushed her down the stairs.Having spilled everything, Sadie felt relieved.Due to her ignorance in her youth, she had driven herself to such greed. Later, living a comfortable life in the Bass family made her character even more arrogant. She clang to things that didn't belong to her.She wondered if she was wrong.After obtaining the evidence, Delbert left without saying a word or having a look at her.Sadie slumped onto the ground and laughed at herself.Whether in the past or now, she was destined not to lose Delbert. It was ridiculous.In the basement, there was a hidden camera that had just recorded everything.For Delbert, Sadie had no more utility value, but he
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
