Chapter 219

“Didn't you already know about my act of pretending to be foolish?” Harriet asked.

Otherwise, why would he keep testing her?

“l only found out about Nora’s plan to scheme against me at the party, so | decided to turn the tables on her. It was not intentional to hide it from you!” To make Harriet believe her words, she added. “I’m telling the truth. You can ask Cory about it.”

She pointed to Cory and pleaded with Delbert, “I promise | won't do it again. Please forgive me.

okay?”

Delbert couldn't resist her sweet voice.

After kissing her cheek, he leaned close to her ear and whispered seductively. “Did you predict that | would forgive you, you little troublemaker?”

He paused and darted a look at Cory, saying, “As for you, come to the study!”

Delbert walked away, heading straight to the study.

Cory immediately followed.

Harriet sighed, praying for Cory. “Wish you good luck! | can’t even protect myself, let alone help you!

As soon as Cory entered the study, he felt a chilling coldness.

The air around him seemed to freeze, indicating Delbert’s bad mood.

“Sir...” he started.

“Cory, how long have you been with me? Don’t you understand the rules yet?” Delbert questioned him.

“I'm sorry, sir. It’s my fault!” Cory apologized.

“| told you to follow Harriet and report to me at any time. Why didn’t you inform me about today’s incident right away?” Delbert asked, looking Cory in the eye.

Cory trembled and truthfully answered, “Madam said she didn’t want to dirty your hands, so she didn’t let me inform you.”

+15 BONOS His words caused Delbert’s face to fall further.

“Don't forget who your boss is! From now on, anything related to Madam must be reported to me in every detail, Understand?”

Delbert commanded.

He didn’t want Harriet to suffer any more harm.

In a situation like today, he should have taken action for her and spared her from taking risks.

He didn’t want such a thing to happen again.

“| understand, sir!” Cory said.

“Spill it!” Delbert tugged at his tic.

Cory had to tell Delbert everything that happened today, including how Nora planned against Harriet and how Harriet fought back with his help, leaving no details out.

These events were pretty much the same as Delbert expected. He just didn’t expect that it also involved Vernon and Lula.

“Don't let it happen again!” Delbert concluded.

“Thank you for your mercy, sir!” Cory said.

Delbert coldly declared, “Tomorrow, bankrupt the Munoz Group as punishment for laying hands on my wife!”

“Yes, sir!” Cory responded.

After Cory left, Delbert stayed in the spacious study.

He leaned back in his leather chair, spun around, and faced the night outside the window. His gaze was deep and distant, as if it extended far, far beyond the window.

No one knew there was a soft spot behind his ruthless facade.
