Chapter 322
Earlier, Delbert had just driven out of the underground parking lot when he witnessed the scene of Vernon holding onto Harriet. Anger and jealousy had instantly consumed him.
Knowing that he was upset, Harriet earnestly explained, “Delbert,
listen to me. Vernon did it on purpose. He was trying to ruin our relationship.” “| have warned him already. If it happens again, I'll send him to hell!”
Delbert said.
He calmed down, released his grip, and pulled away from her.
He was afraid that he would do something terrible to her, just like last time. Harriet was relieved.
Thankfully, Delbert managed to contain his emotions. Otherwise, sh didn’t know how things would have ended. It seemed that the
medicine baths and acupuncture had worked. Everything was heading in a good direction.
But when she looked up, she saw Delbert straightening up and irritably pulling at his collar. His robust chest was partly exposed to the air.
Startled, she quickly looked away and stood there in a daze.
She thought of running out of the room, but it was too late.
“Still, | have to punish you,” Delbert croaked.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
He scooped her up horizontally, threw her onto the bed, and bore down on her.
Now his anger had been replaced by tenderness.
The next day, when they were having breakfast together, Harriet suddenly remembered that the Munoz Group had been left uncared for since Clifton went to prison. Considering that it was her mother’s brainchild, she said, “I heard that the Munoz Group is in chaos. | want
to take care of it.”
“No!” Delbert’s attitude on this matter was resolute. “It’s dangerous outside now. The power of Shawn hasn't been completely eradicated yet. They can’t deal with me, so they will turn their focus on you. | cannot allow you to get into trouble.
“Just leave this matter to me. I'll send someone to handle it. You
should stay at home.
“After all these matters are resolved, | will take you to Imperium to find your mother. Before that, you must not get into any trouble.”
Harriet tried to argue, but words failed her.
In the past few days, every time she mentioned taking over the Munoz Group, Delbert would always use this excuse to stop her, claiming.
that it was for her good. It might be true, but he was being paranoid. He never knew that Harriet didn’t want to stay idly at home every day. They were supposed to fight side by side. She didn’t want to be caged like a bird. It made her feel suffocated.
“But the Munoz Group was founded by my mother,” Harriet said, clamping her fingers. “I want to try taking over. Please allow me to do it.”
