Chapter 66 Tension
Delbert 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.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
‘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 | 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 surprise is this?” Harriet scoffed dismissively.
She wasn’t foolish anymore, and a moment's reflection led her to deduce Nora and Vernon’s true intentions. They intended to drive a
Even Bessie’s phone call was likely orchestrated by Nora.
Nora came back with ill intentions, but Harriet would not let her have
her way.
“| only like Delbert,” Harriet declared firmly, hopping her way toward Delbert.
Seeing him remain silent, she tugged at the corner of his clothes and blinked innocently. “Do you like me too?” “Yeah.” Delbert raised an eyebrow and absentmindedly ruffled her hair.
Each word from Harriet’s mouth pricked at his heart. If even her willingness to marry him was a lie, he feared he would lose his sanity.
Nora interjected, “But as far as | remember, you used to adore Vernon and clamor to have the beef cooked by him. He has made them for you today, and you can have as much as you want.”
“Come, Harriet, try my cooking. If you like it, I’ll make it for you every day.”
Vernon gently picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Harriet’s bowl. His smile was warm and inviting. In perfect harmony, Vernon and Nora worked together, disregarding Delbert entirely.
As the beef landed in Harriet’s bowl, everyone present caught a glimpse of Delbert’s face falling.
Delbert seldom allowed others to see his emotions so easily, but whenever he did lose control, it was because of Harriet.
And this was precisely Vernon and Nora’s plan.
Vernon was tasked with destroying the bond between Harriet and Delbert. He would lure gullible Harriet away and subsequently convince her to divorce Delbert and claim half of the Carlson family’s wealth.
Naturally, that money would belong to Vernon.
As for who Nora wanted to marry, that was her own affair and had nothing to do with him.
Vernon believed his calculations were flawless. Given Harriet’s
previous adoration and obedience, he thought it would be effortless to manipulate her into following his lead. However, Harriet’s next move was something he never anticipated.
