Chapter 769"There is something I have to attend to. I promise that I'll bring Harriet over next time and spend more time with you guys," Delbert said awkwardly.Now they had no more reason to keep him there. They all smiled and saw him off to the door.Delbert drove straight to the airport and arrived soon.Trevor was standing at the entrance of the airport."Delbert!" Trevor excitedly approached him.Monica and Cory came out of the airport, surprised to see Delbert there.They didn't expect Delbert to come pick them up."Delbert!" Monica ran over and hugged him.It had been half a year since they last met, and she missed him.Delbert accepted it instead of pushing her away.After Monica let go, Delbert looked at Cory."Mr. Carlson!" Cory greeted him respectfully.Delbert nodded in response.Half a year had passed, and Cory's skin had darkened. He had become more mature and stable, meeting Delbert's requirements."Where is Harriet?" Monica asked.She felt a little disa
Chapter 770Delbert nodded in agreement, aware of how close Trevor and Gerard were.Even Harriet used to tease their "couple vibes".Trevor quickly turned around to make the call. "Hey, Gerard, come over for dinner."Soon, there was a knock on the door.Trevor went over to open it. "Gerard? How did you get here so quickly? Is it the allure of dinner?"Gerard walked up and punched him in the chest. "Don't be ridiculous!"His words amused everyone.Delbert urged everyone to eat, but he remained absent-minded at the dining table. Without Harriet by his side, he felt empty and could not cheer up.Monica hadn't been so happy and had gathered with so many people for a long time.Raising her glass, she said, "Let's have a toast."Cory didn't stop her.Monica kept drinking until her face flushed.Before Cory could intervene, she started clinging to Delbert and blinking innocently. "I miss Harriet so much.""Monica, you're drunk," Cory said, trying to pull her away, but she contin
Chapter 771It took Delbert a lot of effort to get his phone back."Monica is drunk. You don't need to take her words seriously. It's just that everyone misses you because they haven't seen you for so long, so they're feeling a bit lost without you."Harriet laughed, saying, "I know. I miss them, too. Once I take care of everything, I'll come back to see them. And take good care of yourself.""I will!" Delbert said, intending to chat with Harriet for a while.But Monica was making a scene, so he had to hang up.Monica ran around the living room, saying that she would go find Harriet.Trevor, Delbert, and Gerard felt helpless.It was supposed to be a nice gathering, but unexpectedly, Monica got drunk and went wild.Her manners when she was drunk remained unchanged.Monica stared at them, mocking them for not being able to catch her.In the end, Delbert remembered Cory.At such a point, Cory was the only person who could calm Monica down, but he had no intention of stopping h
Chapter 772Cory looked down at Monica's pretty face.After confirming that she was fast asleep, he tucked her up and got out.Delbert went to the study room and looked at the books on the shelf.Cory came in and called out, "Mr. Carlson."Delbert pulled up a chair and said, "Take a seat."Cory smiled and said, "Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye."Delbert raised his head. "Indeed! I didn't expect so much to happen."Cory thought for a moment and said, "I've finished the training in Agral City and gotten promoted. I feel capable of protecting Monica. What do you think?"Delbert looked at him for a moment before getting up to pat his shoulder. "Yeah, you're indeed different from before."Cory was delighted.After a pause, Delbert continued, "In the days to come, I hope you can protect Monica well, just as you said. Now I feel at ease entrusting Monica to you."Cory stood up and solemnly declared, "Mr. Carlson, rest assured. I will protect Monica and never let her
Chapter 773"Okay, we'll be right down," Monica responded, taking Cory out of bed to freshen up.After that, they came to the dining table hand in hand. Delbert and Trevor had been waiting for a while.Seeing how close they were, Trevor felt a bit envious.Among the four people there, he was the only single one.He really missed Gerard now.During the meal, Delbert raised his head and said, "I'm going back to Imperium today."Cory was surprised by the news. "You're leaving so soon. Let me give you a ride.""It's okay. I have some things to take care of," Delbert said, waving his hand.Cory didn't insist.After breakfast, Monica, Trevor, and Cory left.Delbert went to the basement, had Sadie repeat Felipe's conspiracy, and then had someone retrieve the surveillance footage to review it.After confirming that Sadie had confessed everything, Delbert smiled with satisfaction.His efforts had paid off, and he couldn't wait to send the video to Harriet.Harriet was preparing to
Chapter 774"Harriet, at the end of the day, you're still too young. Young people tend to be impulsive. Look at what you've done. Aren't you targeting us shareholders?" Felipe said, indicating that Harriet was too young to be chairman of Bass Group.Harriet sneered in response and watched the show with disdain.After he gave his speech, Harriet ignored him and started talking with the other board members.Felipe felt offended and shouted, "Harriet, what do you mean?"He slammed the documents on the desk."Felipe, don't you forget who the owner of this company is! It's Yvonne," Levi said from behind Harriet.His cold stare deterred Felipe.Through discussion, Harriet and the directors finalized the business plan. On the same wavelength, they didn't ask for Felipe's opinion.Felipe wanted to condemn Harriet, but he feared Levi.As a member of the board, he was now being treated as if he were invisible.Back in his office, he swept everything off the table."Damn! Harriet, I'm
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
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
