Chapter 62 Harriet's Wrath"Mr. Delbert."Cory had been entrusted by Delbert to protect Harriet. Naturally, he couldn't stand idly by and watch Harriet being bullied. Before stepping in, he asked Delbert for permission.However, Delbert stopped him with a glance.Wearing a slight smile on his face, Delbert calmly gazed at Harriet's fingertips.There, a glinting silver needle had appeared unnoticed.Harriet was about to take action."So what? You should be hit for badmouthing me and Delbert."Harriet stood with her hands on her hips and tilted her head like a little devil."When did we ever mention you and Mr. Delbert? You can't accuse us like this."The two maids felt indignant about being hit. Taking advantage of the fact that no one in the villa would support Harriet, they began to act brazenly.Unfortunately for them, Harriet was now backed up by a great figure."You don't admit it?" she huffed."Gossipers deserve to have their tongues cut off."Harriet made a gesture

Chapter 64 Not a SaintThe two maids pleaded with Bessie, desperately relying on her for help. They had tirelessly shielded Bessie's whereabouts from Clifton countless times before, ensuring that he never discovered her secret. Turning her back on them now seemed unthinkable.But Bessie had no intention of extending a helping hand.She shook off their grasping hands and snapped, "You've offended Mr. Delbert, and now you expect me to protect you? Dream on!"The two maids were taken aback by Bessie's refusal. It dawned on them that Clifton and Bessie only saw them as expendable pawns, willing to burn bridges without hesitation.Panic washed over them like a tidal wave. They fell to their knees, begging for mercy."Mr. Delbert, we were wrong! Please don't dismiss us. We were foolish to talk back to you. Please forgive our transgressions!""Mr. Delbert, we deeply regret our actions. Please have mercy!"Delbert's glare pierced through their souls. Terrified, they slapped themselves

Chapter 66 TensionDelbert eyed Vernon and quickly looked away. But tension lingered in the air."Mr. Delbert, please take a seat. The food is ready."Clifton approached with a flattering smile, not wanting to neglect the big shot before him.Delbert nodded, taking his seat without waiting for Harriet.This unusual behavior didn't go unnoticed by Harriet, and a flicker of sadness passed through her eyes.She had confessed her feelings to him countless times.'Why still wouldn't he trust me?" she groaned in her heart.Nora gloated over the scene. This was exactly what she desired.She deliberately turned to Harriet and asked, "Harriet, are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you?"She gestured toward Vernon and raised her voice to make sure Delbert could hear her.She refused to believe that after marrying Delbert, Harriet would stop caring for Vernon.It was evident to everyone how Harriet had foolishly followed Vernon and obeyed his every word."What kind of su

Chapter 68 The Battle of WordsNora believed that if she kept mentioning to Delbert that Harriet liked Vernon, Delbert would ultimately be disgusted by Harriet's fickle nature.Harriet pouted and made a face as if she was about to cry. She clung to Delbert, seeking solace in his arms."Nora is lying. I've never said that to Vernon. Believe me, okay?"Her coquettish demeanor was undeniably captivating.Delbert's deep eyes flashed with fiery desire."I believe you."With just three words, he made his position and attitude clear."Nora, did you hear that? Delbert believes in me. Don't think you can break us up," Harriet declared, proudly looking at Nora.Nora was pissed off."Harriet, how could you think so poorly of me? I'm just telling the truth."Nora appeared aggrieved, pinching her thigh hard to force out tears. Her acting skills were top-notch.Nora's words insinuated that Harriet was a schemer who held ill intentions toward her.As she wiped her tears pitifully, she wi

Chapter 70 The Intricate GameHarriet shook Delbert's shoulders. But beneath the facade of innocence, she pinched his waist.She winked at him, implying that he should speak up for her.The composed mask on Delbert's face showed cracks, revealing the turmoil within.His body stiffened as he focused on the warmth radiating from the palm of Harriet's hand.That restless hand continued its slow descent down his waist.She was not an innocent rabbit, but a seductive fox.If Harriet sought support through unorthodox means, Delbert had to do something."All right, I'm here to support you!" he declared, pressing Harriet against his chest.He bit her ear and whispered with a hoarse, seductive voice.Until Harriet blushed, Delbert's gaze pierced through Nora like a sharp blade."Harriet is mine. Unless she becomes blind, she won't like others."He paused and added, "Even if she were momentarily blinded, I would not blame or despise her."Harriet, feeling offended, scratched his arm
