Chapter 6 Outshining Nora
“Okay, sure.”
Clifton shuddered and quickly waved for the servants to attend to Harriet’s wounds.
The Carlson family was a top clan in Meawood City, and this man in front of them was a trusted servant of Milton. Awimp like Clifton wouldn’t dare defy him.
Harriet refrained from saying anything more about Clifton’s bad behavior.
Before they were ensnared in the purgatory she had prepared for them, she couldn't afford to antagonize this family.
Clearing his throat, the butler continued, “Mr. Carlson Sr. sent me to inform you that the engagement party for Miss Harriet and Mr. Delbert will be held at the Golden Joy Hotel tonight at 7 o’clock.”
“We see. We'll be there on time.” Clifton nodded, a greedy glint passing through his eyes. Satisfied, the butler glanced at Harriet before leaving.
Despite her plain attire and unadorned face, he noticed her outstanding beauty. Unlike what she was rumored to be, she was pretty.
But given Clifton’s behavior, he should have been harsh toward Harriet. The butler felt it was necessary to report it to Milton. Following the butler’s gaze, Nora seriously regarded Harriet for the first time. There was something different about her. ‘Since when does this silly girl know about aesthetics?
‘The clothes she is wearing today seem to suit her quite well.’
After the butler left, Clifton couldn’t be bothered to look at Harriet again.
Despite the Golden Joy Hotel being the grandest hotel in Meawood City, Delbert was still the least favored son of the Carlson family. What was the use?
If it weren’t for their investment, Clifton wouldn’t even consider marrying Harriet off like this. “Dress her up!”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
With these words, he went upstairs to rest.
Nora and Bessie reluctantly dragged Harriet away to dress her up.
They understood that only by making Harriet presentable tonight could they truly satisfy Milton and smoothly marry her to Delbert in Nora’s place.
After they haphazardly dressed up Harriet, they were stunned by her appearance. Even in just light makeup and a plain dress, she exuded an extraordinary charm. Her delicate features, dainty nose, and cherry lips seemed to be the works of God. Even the carefully made-up Nora paled in front of her.
Nora felt a gnawing sense of jealousy, but she soon got over it.
Once this simpleton married that “Satan”, she would likely be tormented to death. Delbert, the “Satan” in Nora’s mind, emerged from the old mansion of the Carlson family. Clad in a dark suit, Delbert stood against the light, exuding an air of aloof nobility akin to that of an emperor.
“Sir, Mr. Welch said if you don’t want to attend the engagement party tonight, you could hide at his place.” Delbert’s assistant, Cory Reese, approached with the message.
“Why wouldn't | want to? | will attend the party.”
Delbert chuckled with a rare, gentle smile.
He could foresee that some people would be trying to bully that girl tonight at the party. How could he not go?
He had to stand by her, just like before.
