The Broken Warrior's Daughter

Chapter 692

"Why do you think I'm not Ms. Bass? How much did Sadie give you to slander us?" Harriet questioned her.

The woman changed colors and pointed at Harriet. "You're uncultured. How can you possibly be Ms. Bass?

"As I see it, you're just a lowly peasant."

"That's right! They are shameless!"

The people around them came up, cursing at the mother and daughter.

Someone threw vegetables at them, but Harriet quickly protected Miriam.

Something hard hit her back, causing her immense pain.

"Harriet!" Miriam felt distressed.

"Mom, don't be afraid! I'm okay!" Harriet reassured her, turning around to grab that person's wrist.

Startled, the woman stammered, "What? Do you want to hit me?"

"What if I do?" Harriet sneered.

The woman panicked and shoved Harriet with all her might.

The ground was littered with vegetables. Harriet slipped and fell into a warm embrace.

A familiar scent greeted her.

Before she could react, the person helped her up, holding up the phone in his hand. "You were the ones who started it. I've recorded everything.

"This is mayhem, and Ms. Bass can sue you." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The people present were immediately thrown into chaos.

"What? We didn't hit her. Call the police as you like. I don't believe the police will detain us."

The man sneered, "Alright then. This is a mob assault, and you will be detained for fifteen days.

"And what do other people's family matters have to do with you? Do you have the right to meddle here?"

At his words, the crowd looked at each other and dispersed.

The man's deep voice carried unquestionable dominance. Harriet stared at him and thought of Delbert.

"Delbert, is it you?"

Harriet grabbed the man's hand, but he frowned and shook off her hand.

"You've mistaken me for someone else," he said before walking away.

Flustered, Harriet chased after him, but the man's steps were too fast.

He turned around the corner, and when Harriet reached the place, the man was already gone.

Harriet gazed ahead, thinking about his familiar scent and deliberately lowered voice.

It was clearly Delbert.

Harriet looked at the bustling street ahead and couldn't snap out of it.

Miriam glanced at Harriet and detected a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Seeing her dazed look, Miriam asked with concern. "What's wrong? Do you know that man?"
