Vernon, who knew at first glance that the one on Harriet's collarbone was a love bite left by Delbert, pinched it hard a few times. The love bite instantly became red and purple, causing him to think about sex. Harriet felt a stabbing pain from these pinches, tears filling her eyes, looking pitiful.But Vernon didn't soften his heart. He knew Harriet was skilled at lying. She had used to deceive him. Now she was fooling Delbert. She wanted all men to believe she was foolish and easy to deceive, increasing their protective instincts towards her.And the men had fallen into her trap and couldn't come out. Harriet finally cooled down, her eyes red. "Bad apple, let me go!"Her enchanting eyes brimmed with caution and disdain towards Vernon, holding no trace of the once-present love she harbored for him."No!"A hint of hurt crossed Vernon's gentle and handsome face as he questioned, "Harriet, you used to like beef stew, didn't you? I cooked it for you myself, but why di
Vernon stepped forward and extended his long arm, holding Harriet tightly in his arms. The latter struggled to break free, but it was to no avail."Harriet, I know you're trying to provoke me. That's why you showed your affection for Delbert in front of me. Let's stop the nonsense. I know I was wrong. Let's make up!" Vernon said with a face full of distress.But Harriet felt so disgusted, looking at him as if he were mentally challenged. 'He is so ordinary, but why is he so confident?' she thought. At these words, Delbert, who was on his way to find Harriet, felt greatly agitated.It turned out that Harriet's "compromise" with him earlier was all to provoke Vernon, the one she had always loved deeply?Since she had not come out of the bathroom after such a long time, he specifically came over to check on her. If he had not come, he wouldn't have heard these words. He was wondering when she would stop lying to him.A great pain flashed across Delbert's eyes. Immediately, he cle
Chapter 79Harriet stared blankly at the fierce-looking Delbert, but the latter was silent. He just stared back at her, his gaze as sharp as a knife, seemingly able to pierce through her.She took a deep breath and finally plucked up the courage to ask again, "What's wrong with you, Delbert? Did I upset you again by doing something wrong?"Facing his silence and serious expression, she was flustered. She reached out to pull his hem, but Delbert grabbed her wrist."Stop acting!"Delbert's cold eyes mocked Harriet, who seemed frightened by him. "Even if you're not tired, I don't bother to continue this drama with you!"His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice, low and husky, carried a numbing coldness reminiscent of the bone-chilling snow from the Alps that never melts.He struggled to suppress the boiling bloodlust within him, but the crimson at the corners of his eyes intensified. Just the memory of what Vernon said and their embrace fueled his anger. In such fury, he wished to
"Get out of the car!" Delbert ordered coldly. "Delbert, I'm not going to get out. I'm going to stay with you!" Harriet said meekly, slowly shaking her head. She thought playing coquettish would work, but in Delbert's eyes, the strategy was too ordinary because it had been used too frequently. And he had to break the habit of being soft when seeing this. "Don't force me to throw you off!" Delbert maintained a cold face, as frosty as the snow-covered landscape. But Harriet stubbornly refused to leave the car, keeping a straight face. Delbert hardened his heart and shouted through gritted teeth, "Cory!"Seeing Delbert's dark face, Cory dared not delay and promptly got out of the car, opening the door."Madam, please.""No, I'm not going to!"Faced with Delbert's harsh words, Harriet's heart clenched in pain.She continued her feeble struggle, fingers tightly gripping the car door. In the end, Delbert heartlessly pried open each of her fingers, and Cory unwillingly took
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. Rumors circulated that its owner was either a wealthy foreign tycoon or a mafia leader who had influence in both the legal and underworld realms. Despite various versions of the story, nobody knew for sure who its owner was.Now, three men were seated in the most luxurious VIP room on the top floor. Among them were Marc, the general manager of Holy Night, Sean Mitchell, the top lawyer of Meawood City, and Yuri Grayson, the young scion of the noble Grayson family from Imperium. These three men, along with Delbert, were known as the Four Noble Sons of Luminara, and their families were the four great aristocratic families of Imperiu
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
