As night fell, the city lights began to shine.

Holy Night, the largest entertainment venue in Meawood City, was enigmatic and mysterious, not only due to its mysterious origins but also because of its owner.

It was said that no one had ever seen its owner because he rarely showed up and all its affairs were taken care of by the general manager Marc.

They surged uncontrollably, causing his blood-red lips to quiver.How could Harriet... embrace another man while bearing his love bite?

He hurried over to the figure beneath the tree.Upon hearing the familiar voice, the lady with a murky mind weakly lifted her head. She gazed deeply in the direction of the approaching Delbert, her beautiful watery eyes filled with disbelief.Over a decade had passed, and he had grown up and matured significantly. "Are you all right, Harriet? I'll take you back immediately!" Delbert said, realizing his voice was terribly hoarse. Soon he noticed something amiss. Sitting on the dirty ground, Harriet was drenched with several scratches and bloodstains on her delicate face. "Why did you get hurt, Harriet? It's all my fault.

Selena put down her medical kit and began to examine Harriet.Fortunately, Harriet only had a fever and cold, and the wounds had not worsened. Selena prescribed fever-reducing and cold medicine for her, instructing Delbert to make sure she took it on time. After Selena professionally packed up the medical kit, Yuri said fearlessly with a grin, "Delbert, I've noticed you've become more considerate lately, knowing how to take care of a girl. Quite an improvement. Congratulations!" "Get lost!" Delbert kicked his butt. "All right, I'm going. I won't interrupt your time with Harriet.
