Chapter 111"Colleen, you know well how I operate, don't you?" Delbert's tone was calm, but his demeanor was icy.Colleen was familiar with rumors about Delbert's methods. He was ruthless and temperamental.She vividly recalled the day when a maid spilled tea on Delbert. He'd casually instructed Cory to take her to the mountains to feed the dog.The memory of the maid's cries made Colleen shiver.She was frightened by Delbert's words and his chilling gaze, collapsing onto the ground."Opal, can you help me? Can you talk to Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet for me?" Colleen thought of Opal, hoping for her assistance.Opal was a prominent figure by Harriet's side, and her words held weight.But she refused, saying, "Miss Harriet has given you numerous chances, but you didn't cherish them."Now that Delbert had publicly announced his intention to punish Colleen, no one dared to speak up for her. Caution prevailed, and no one wanted to ignite a situation that could harm them.Colleen

Chapter 113Delbert cast a cold glance at the servant who had come to report. Displeasure was evident in his eyes.The servant felt weak and almost collapsed onto the ground."Sir, she arrived in Mr. Welch's car!" he stammered.The security guards and servants on the island were familiar with the cars and people. Except for the Carlson and Munoz families, as well as a few individuals known to Delbert, no one else was allowed to pass.Lula drove in Marc's car that day, which allowed her to slip through.Given the servant's respectful address and demeanor toward Delbert, Lula quickly realized that the handsome man before her was none other than Delbert, the rumored disfigured and vicious son of the Carlson family.She was rooted to the spot in shock.Now, she finally understood why Nora had made a spectacle of herself at the engagement party.Who wouldn't want such a handsome man as their fiancé? But Nora, despite having the opportunity, foolishly gave up this exceptional man to

Chapter 115"How dare you slander my woman? Are you asking for trouble?" Delbert snapped, pleased with Harriet's knack for seeking his assistance.Yet her playful hand was indeed distracting, hinting at an endearing yet embarrassing closeness, causing a slight blush to tint his ears."If not for Marc's protection, would you even be allowed on this island? In this villa? You're undeserving!" he added.Delbert was now the president of the Carlson Group and a business magnate in Meawood City, wielding power and wealth that rivaled nations.His excellence commanded respect and submission.A single glance from him silenced Lula, rendering her too petrified to utter another word."Did you hear what Delbert said? Leave immediately!" Harriet demanded.With Delbert's backing, she felt emboldened. Slipping out of Delbert's embrace, she advanced toward Lula, a steely resolve in her tone."What, do you fancy tasting the same Pig Tongue Salad made by me?"She harbored no forgiveness for p

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 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
