Chapter 116Harriet didn't care about Lula's screams and mercilessly threw another glass at her.Lula deceived Marc by claiming she had hemophobia, which caused numerous arguments between Marc and Molly.But looking at her current state, her hemophobia must be fake.Harriet didn't mind helping Lula turn this hemophobia into a real condition.In the end, Lula was hit so hard that her eyes rolled back, and she passed out."Lula, my daughter!" Colleen started crying hysterically again upon seeing Lula collapse."Cory, call an ambulance!" Delbert calmly gave the order.Soon, an ambulance hurriedly arrived.Lula was whisked away on a stretcher, and Colleen was forcibly escorted out by Cory, never to return to Meawood City.The commotion finally subsided, and tranquility returned to the villa, save for the ashen-faced servants trembling in fear."Harriet, you said earlier that you were tired, so I'll make breakfast for you," Delbert said, looking at Harriet, who had transformed fr
Chapter 117"Delbert, you're overthinking. I would never look down on you," Harriet reassured him, urging him not to worry too much.Delbert was usually so decisive, yet he was acting like a child denied candy when it came to such matters."But Vernon can cook, and you enjoy his cooking," Delbert grumbled with a throaty voice."Who said that? I don't. That's nonsense!" Harriet denied it emphatically. "Delbert, think about it. You have so many outstanding qualities compared to that scoundrel, Vernon. For instance, you're more handsome than him, and you earn more money!"Harriet tried her best to cheer him up."Well, I admit that," Delbert said, getting some confidence back.He embraced Harriet, contentedly nuzzling against her.Cory witnessed their affectionate display once more.Although he had only been with Delbert for half a month, he understood that Delbert had always been away from the kitchen.His cold and distant demeanor was completely at odds with being soft and cute
Chapter 118Cory finally managed to control the raging fire in the kitchen, but as soon as he emerged, he saw that the living room was ablaze.He was dumbfounded, wondering if Harriet was the incarnation of Hephaestus.Wherever she went, fire would break out.The fire grew larger, and the situation was spiraling out of control. Even Cory couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he led everyone to retreat to the villa's entrance and wait for the firefighters to arrive and rescue them.After a short while, the fire truck arrived on the island, and the firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.Then they began to admonish and educate those involved. "You need to be careful when using fire. Make sure all valves are closed properly. It's so dangerous. If we hadn't arrived in time, this house would have been gone."Harriet lowered her head, continuously admitting her mistake.The servants were also relieved.They had been working on the island for many years and had never encount
Chapter 119As noon approached, the sound of shattering dishes reverberated through the Welch family's villa."Marc..." murmured a woman pitifully.Before Molly could finish, Marc flung her onto the dining table, his scent laced with alcohol.Molly winced as her back hit the marble table, a stifled grunt escaping her lips. But Marc showed no mercy.His forceful hold on her was accompanied by a murmur of Lula's name.His voice was so intimate, but Molly's heart sank to the bottom.It had been just over a month since they got married, but whether it was day or night, Marc would either be drunk or angry whenever he faced her.All along, the only woman in his heart was Lula.From the start, he didn't want to marry Molly."Marc, open your eyes. I'm Molly, not Lula!" Molly suddenly lifted her head and stared down at Marc.She couldn't take it anymore, having received enough disappointment.Marc pushed her away, disgust written all over his face."You're not worthy of mentioning
Chapter 120"Divorce?" Marc's hand trembled as he lit a cigarette, and his face contorted in disgust.As he saw it, divorce was merely a bargaining chip that Molly used to threaten him."If you want a divorce, so be it. Since you brought it up, I won't explain anything to your parents. But you should go and talk to my parents. I hope you leave my family as soon as possible," he said, stubbing out his cigarette.He stormed out, slamming the door behind him.Tears finally streamed down Molly's cheeks.Marc's parents had treated her like their own daughter, which was the only solace she had after marrying Marc.They had always hoped for her to have a child with Marc, but now it seemed that she was going to let them down.Marc's irritation hadn't subsided after he left the house.He found it ridiculous that Molly proposed a divorce to him.'Who gives her the right? Does she think she could get married and divorced as she pleased?' He thought.While he was still feeling annoyed,
Chapter 121Marc knew that Harriet was important to Delbert, but he didn't expect her to be this important.The pain in his foot made him wince. "Your fiancée bullied me first!""Harriet is usually so gentle and timid. How can she bully you?" Delbert smiled, clearly taking sides with Harriet."Alright! You guys win!" Marc admitted defeat."Forget it, Miss Harriet," Molly mediated.Only then did Harriet calm down, glaring threateningly at Marc. "You see, Delbert is on my side."If it wasn't for Molly intervening, she would have stepped on Marc again.After Harriet withdrew her foot, Marc stumbled back a few steps.Delbert had been smiling at Harriet the whole time. Tenderness and indulgence were evident on his face.Marc shook his head, feeling helpless.Molly noticed his displeasure and asked, despite the tension between them, "Are you alright?""Mind your own business!" Marc snorted.Molly pursed her lips and stopped caring about him. Instead, she turned to Harriet and De
Chapter 122Before leaving, he shot Harriet a sharp look, only to be met with Delbert's piercing gaze.In the kitchen, Molly heard the door opening and thought it was the housekeeper, Karen."Karen, come help me tie my apron," she said.But there was no response. Only a tall figure loomed behind her, exuding a daunting aura.A pair of big hands held her waist and fastened the strings of her apron.Molly tensed up as she recognized the owner of these hands.It was their first close contact since Nora's birthday party a month ago, and Marc was sober this time.Marc noticed Molly's weight loss, and her waist was so thin.In just a month, she had become bony, as if he had mistreated her."Why are you here?" Molly squirmed, turning around to face him.Marc pressed her against the wall, causing her pain and tears.His piercing gaze bore into her. "Molly, don't try any tricks in front of Delbert and Harriet!"His chilling words left Molly feeling frozen in the sunny kitchen.It
Chapter 123Worried, Harriet stood up. "Delbert, you stay here. I'll check on things."But Delbert tugged at her hand, pulling her back into his embrace. "Don't stir things up. We're guests, and we should just sit here."Neither Harriet nor he knew how to cook, so barging into the kitchen would only disrupt Marc and Molly."Delbert, don't you love me anymore?" Harriet pouted, feeling unjustly scolded.She curled up like a ball, looking forlorn."That's nonsense," Delbert said, unable to bear the sight of her distress.He held her in his arms and soothed her with a soft kiss. "Remember, no one else treats you as well as me," he said."Then why did you blame me for stirring up trouble?" Harriet huffed, puffing up her cheeks.Delbert was captivated by her cuteness."You're just despising me!" Harriet accused, hands on hips."How can guests make food in the host's house?" Delbert explained with a helpless smile."That's an excuse!" Harriet was not convinced."I don't want to
