That would hurt them the most!At these words, the three present couldn't help but shudder. Indeed, all the Carlsons were ruthless!"Since Delbert has a plan, then stop worrying. Let's have a drink!" Marc said with a smile, raising his glass. "By the way, Delbert, I heard Miss Munoz has moved to your island. How are things between you two lately?"With this question, all three pairs of eyes turned to Delbert."She's best at lying!"Remembering what happened at the Munozs' house today, he could no longer contain his emotions. They surged uncontrollably, causing his blood-red lips to quiver.How could Harriet... embrace another man while bearing his love bite? Thinking of it, Delbert felt like all his blood had been drained. His chest was still heaving, but he felt like he was about to suffocate, his eyes blood red. He took the glass of wine offered by Marc with a grave face and gulped it down. "Girls who tell lies are the most pleasing to men, aren't they? Just like Mr. We
Burning with anxiety, Delbert immediately put on his coat and got up to leave. He had just left for a while, but she was missing!What if he was not around her in the future?Seeing him leaving, Yuri pointed at his watch and called, "Hey, Delbert, are you going to leave after just being here for less than thirty minutes?"He had not yet drunk to his heart's content! Sean also asked him to stay, "That's right, Delbert. Why are you in such a hurry? What happened? Let's drink one more glass!""Don't you see he is going home to see Harriet? Stop shouting!" Marc snapped, suggesting they shut up. Yuri and Sean fell silent. 'Fine, we didn't say anything,' they muttered inwardly.***On his way back, a heavy rain caught him. Wrought with worry, Delbert ran a few red lights and narrowly avoided hitting a passerby before returning to the island.He parked the car, staggered out, and rushed into the hall. "Where's Miss Harriet?""Mr. Delbert?"The servants in the villa were
If not for the slender beam of pure moonlight occasionally filtering through the branches, she would have blended entirely into the night, like a beautiful fairy under the moonlight. Harriet!That was Harriet!"Harriet!"At this moment, Delbert's eyes brimmed with ecstasy as he regained what he had lost. 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. I shouldn't have left you alone!"Seeing Harriet i
The scar, which had disappeared under Delbert's watch, had now reappeared on Harriet's back.Illuminated by the crystal light, it emitted an eerie glow. And Harried had just done something unusual—she called him "Delbie."Delbert was a bit confused, wondering whether she had regained her memory or not. But apparently, the most important thing at the moment was her condition.He felt heartbroken as he looked at the girl's muddy clothes, injured skin, and ashen face with bloodstains.Soon, the family doctor hurriedly arrived under Cory's guidance to attend to Harriet's wounds.After a while, the doctor looked back at Delbert and said, "Mr. Delbert, the injuries onMiss Harriet's face and body are just on the skin. I've treated the wounds. It's nothing serious." "All right, you may go back." Delbert's deep, narrow eyes were fixed on the girl in bed, his brows tightly furrowed.It was all his fault that Harriet got hurt! Because of being drenched in the rain for too long, H
In the grip of an intense fever, Harriet muttered, "So cold... so painful... Delbie… help me..." Harriet felt very uncomfortable, deliriously dreaming and burning with agonizing pain."Delbie, don't... don't leave me," she pleaded.Delbert, unable to discern her words, leaned in closer, hoping to catch her faint murmurs. Finally understanding, he realized Harriet was dreaming about their childhood.Looking at her pained expression, Delbert felt a deep sense of distress.If only he hadn't been sent back to the Carlson family, he could have surely protected his little girl, preventing her from encountering Vernon and enduring such deception and harm.After tucking Harriet in, Delbert rose to call Yuri and Selena once more. However, as he moved, a small, scalding hand tightly grabbed his big one.In the throes of her high fever, Harriet suddenly seized his hand, the memories in her dream intermittent.Despite her muddled mind, she knew that was Delbie, the most important perso
"Delbert!"Yuri intentionally cleared his throat, alerting him to his presence.Delbert suddenly became aware, swiftly withdrawing his hand. Feeling guilty as if caught doing something wrong, he gave an awkward light cough and greeted them, "Ahem, you arrived just in time. Come and check on her." 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. "Yuri quickly took the medical kit from Selena and carefully assisted his two-month-pregnant fiancée in
Delbert's Adam's apple moved up and down, and his eyes were obscure.Looking at Harriet's moist red lips, he swallowed. He knew he couldn't resist her charm at all. Her body was so alluring to him, making his mouth dry. But Harriet was in fever now. If he touched her, he would be no different from Vernon, the fraud. Harriet quickly put the clean pajamas on her, tucked her in again, and immediately walked out. He came to the guest bedroom, took a cold shower, and lay on the bed, but the girl's beautiful figure kept appearing in his mind until dawn before he fell asleep... The next morning, Harriet woke up from one nightmare after another.When she woke up, it was already ten in the morning. But she couldn't remember what she had dreamt of last night.Those intermittent memories were horrible, tormenting her with a splitting headache and difficulty breathing. Now, the servant had drawn the curtains in the bedroom. Warm sunlight poured in through the window, brightenin
Delbert pursed his thin lips, his narrow eyes deep and mysterious."What? Unwilling?" "I... I'm willing."Of course, Harriet was willing. As long as Delbert wasn't angry, anything was acceptable. After giving her a deep look, Delbert left the bedroom.Despite her challenging interactions with Delbert, Harriet remembered to keep an eye on her revenge plan. As expected, Nora, afraid to confront Delbert directly, released a clarification statement today. The statement revealed that her title as the top medical genius in Meawood City was false and that the true genius was her foolish sister, Harriet. Even the outstanding thesis she graduated with from Meawood Medical University was written by Harriet. This clarification caused a commotion on Twitter. Although Nora had experienced embarrassment at the Carlson family's engagement banquet not long ago, many of her fans had defended her.They claimed that she only dressed that way to avoid overshadowing her sister, Harriet,
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
