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 124For some reason, Delbert's paranoia surged with the thought.It took him quite some time to suppress it and flash a mischievous grin at Harriet."Yeah! I'm indeed running a fever, a serious one," Delbert murmured, nibbing her earlobe."Harriet, you're my cure. Let me take you, alright?"Harriet blushed up to her ears.When Delbert sweet-talked, he was so smooth and composed."Stop teasing me," she said, feeling like she was going to lose control.Delbert said she was his cure, but she knew he was her antidote.In the kitchen, Marc hung up the phone and found Molly standing there, looking pale and fragile. Her eyes held undeniable sadness.His heart felt a pang, followed by a surge of anger.Molly's voice was cold and mocking, and her piercing gaze made him feel exposed."Go ahead and keep her company. I'll entertain Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet here," she said indifferently, leaving without a glance back.After she got out of the kitchen, a faint sneer crosse

Delbert's cold and foreboding voice suddenly echoed in the private room, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.This rule was well understood by Marc.It was a pact made by the four close friends when they decided to start a business together: if one of them made a mistake, they would have to drink until the others were satisfied as part of their apology.Over the years, they had always adhered to this rule, so naturally, he wouldn't break it today just for Lula.Marc turned to look at Lula, his eyes cold.Lula felt a surge of resentment and intense turmoil within her.She bit her lower lip unwillingly.She felt that Marc's care and indulgence towards her had waned.In the past, if she suffered the slightest grievance, he would seek justice for her, no matter who the other party was.But just then, when she pretended to be on the verge of vomiting and fell into his arms, he instinctively looked towards Molly.A woman's sixth sense was terrifyingly accurate. She felt that Mar

Although Lula always had the intention of stealing Delbert away, he completely ignored her at this moment, so she had to settle for winning Marc’s trust first.Without Marc's indulgence, she wouldn’t be able to continue to compete and flaunt her wealth with those socialites in the future!Delbert naturally knew that Harriet never went to such places, so she must have hired a private detective to track and photograph Lula.But he was right beside her. She didn't seek his help but went to someone else. It made him feel jealous.At this moment, he wished to confine Harriet and force her to explain why she didn't seek his help. But no, since Harriet liked to play the fool with him, he would accompany her and continue to play along until she was willing to confess to him."I know, so what?" Delbert embraced Harriet's slender waist and pulled her back into his arms. His gaze at Lula suddenly became dangerous. It seemed that he was ready to kill her.Lula was so frightened that her brain j

"Sorry, it's my fault. How should I apologize to you, Harriet?" "She just apologized by drinking. So, you should do the same thing. Come on, I’ll personally pour the drink for you!" Harriet's face lit up with a mischievous smile. She was like a playful young girl. The next second, she picked up an open bottle of liquor from the table and poured a full glass for Nora. With a sly smile, she handed it to her. However, except for Delbert, no one present knew that it was just a part of Harriet’s scheme.As she handed the drink to Nora, a silver needle lightly touched the surface of the drink from her sleeve and was quickly withdrawn. It was too swift to be caught. Then she discreetly signaled to Molly, who was ignored by everyone on one side. Molly seemed to understand and quietly took out her phone. Delbert noticed everything, his beautiful eyes narrowing lazily as he remained silent and observant. The playful glances between Harriet and Nora sparked in the chilly air. "
