Chapter 70 The Intricate Game
Harriet shook Delbert’s shoulders. But beneath the facade of
innocence, she pinched his waist.
She winked at him, implying that he should speak up for her.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
The composed mask on Delbert’s face showed cracks, revealing the turmoil within.
His body stiffened as he focused on the warmth radiating from the palm of Harriet’s hand.
That restless hand continued its slow descent down his waist.
She was not an innocent rabbit, but a seductive fox.
If Harriet sought support through unorthodox means, Delbert had to do something.
“All right, I’m here to support you!” he declared, pressing Harriet against his chest.
He bit her ear and whispered with a hoarse, seductive voice.
Until Harriet blushed, Delbert’s gaze pierced through Nora like a sharp blade.
“Harriet is mine. Unless she becomes blind, she won't like others.”
He paused and added, “Even if she were momentarily blinded, | would not blame or despise her.” Harriet, feeling offended, scratched his arm twice.
Her action tickled his heart and fueled his lust.
Determined to make things right for her, he fully released his aura.
“Delbert, |...” Nora attempted to explain herself.
However, upon meeting Delbert’s death gaze, she found herself speechless.
How could someone possess such terrifying eyes in this world?
Delbert fixed Nora with a stern gaze. “Don’t. You’re not worthy.”
His insulting words, coupled with his cold temperament, deterred Nora from uttering a sound. Delbert was destined for greatness from birth.
Although initially overlooked by the Carlson family, he eventually seized control of the Carlson Group through his own strength. Now, he stood as the business emperor of Meawood City with a net worth of billions, admired by countless women. ‘Why is he so obsessed with a fool?’ Nora wondered.
They were both daughters of the Munoz family. Why did Harriet
capture his affection while she failed?
Since childhood, Nora had been doted on by her parents, receiving everything she desired and enjoying the finest things in life. Even in terms of beauty and talent, she ranked among the elite of Meawood City.
As for Harriet, she was left to pick up the scraps and make do with what she could find. When had she ever experienced something
better than Nora?
Harriet used to adore Vernon, but he promptly left with Nora when Nora beckoned. Nora intended for Harriet, the fool, to remain hidden within her
shadow and linger out a feeble existence.
But Delbert emerged.
What made this foolish Harriet, despised by everyone in Meawood
City, be worthy of the lavish care of a powerful and exceptional man like Delbert? Such treatment unquestionably belonged to Nora.
Burning with hatred, Nora noticed Vernon's discontent and came up with another plan.
If it succeeded, Delbert would undoubtedly fight with Harriet and leave the house in anger.
