Chapter 41 The Truth. Several bodyguards swiftly responded to Delbert’s command and apprehended Colleen. Colleen, taken aback, questioned, “Mr. Delbert, what is the meaning of this?”
“Colleen, are you not aware that Harriet is going to be my wife, the sole hostess of this mansion? Even if she mistreats you, you should bear with it as a servant. How dare you complain to me?”
Delbert spat and then commanded, “Get her out and cast her into the sea as fish food!”
He disregarded Colleen’s existence. The only person who mattered to him was Yvonne.
The bodyguards promptly obeyed the order, seizing Colleen and making their way toward the exit.
Colleen, panic-stricken, cried out in protest, “Mr. Delbert, no! I've served you for so many years. You can’t be so heartless!
“Miss Harriet slapped me and demanded | kowtow to her. All the servants witnessed it. If you blame me instead, you'll be scorned by everyone.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Having resided with the Carlson family for so long and having been valued by Milton, Colleen had long regarded herself as the owner of the house, treating Harriet with condescension.
Little did she expect Delbert to value Harriet so much and think nothing of her.
“You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!”
Delbert indifferently waved his hand. “Retrieve this morning's surveillance footage.” “Yes, sir!” A bodyguard promptly carried out the order.
These bodyguards were Cory’s comrades from St. Peter's Castle. They were skilled mercenaries who exemplified excellence in their field. Not only were they agile, but also efficient.
In less than a minute, the surveillance video was obtained and projected onto the wall. The truth was then unveiled before Delbert’s eyes.
He witnessed Harriet awaken and frantically search for him throughout the villa. She was on the verge of tears, but no one paid her any mind. She was so helpless, yearning for his care, love, and support.
And where was he at that time? Lost in a daze in the mountains, oblivious to the torment inflicted upon his beloved by Colleen and those sycophantic servants.
The video had audio, enabling Delbert to hear their conversation.
Colleen was bold enough to publicly label the girl he cherished as a fool.
Outrageous!
Had Harriet not fought back later, wouldn’t she have continued to endure Colleen’s bullying?
Yet he had been oblivious before this.
The coldness on his face grew, foretelling a storm. Once unleashed, it would decimate everything.
“Colleen, is there anything else you wish to say?”
Delbert’s gaze bore into Colleen, sending shivers down her spine.
“|... |was wrong, Mr. Delbert. Please spare me, considering my years of loyal service!” Daunted by Delbert’s aura, Colleen turned ashen.
She didn’t dare defy this powerful man, especially with solid evidence laid out before her. She could plead with her past devotion, hoping that she could rise again.
