Chapter 57

Chapter 57 The Envy Unveiled “It's time. Let’s eat!”

Milton, seated at the head of the table, abruptly interrupted Kenny.

Kenny's fists clenched and his eyes brimmed with discontent.

Kenny didn’t understand why Milton suddenly favored Delbert and even handed over the Carlson Group to him.

Throughout the dinner, Milton engaged in lively conversations with Delbert and Harriet, disregarding those with ulterior motives.

After the meal, Milton asked Delbert, “How are you getting along with Harriet?”

He feared the rumors were true and that Harriet would be scared away.

After all, even he couldn't decipher Delbert’s temperament.

“Ah, very well,” Delbert replied, clutching Harriet’s hand and tenderly looking at her.

“What about you, Harriet?” Milton turned to ask Harriet.

“| like Delbert!”

Harriet’s eyes sparkled with joy as she faced Milton.

Witnessing their deep bond, Milton felt reassured.

“I'm happy to see you guys care for each other.”

Milton rose from his seat and was carefully assisted up the stairs by the housekeeper. “I’m tired. You guys should stay here for dinner. I'm yuliy Once Milton left, the others started to leave one by one.

Kenny stood up and approached them. “Delbert, it’s Harriet’s first time visiting the place. How about | play the role of host and show her around?”

Aglint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Delbert’s lips curled into a subtle smile. “Thank you.”

Observing this exchange, Cory promptly followed.

Kenny turned around. “You don’t have to come along.”

He had already discovered that Delbert had thwarted the mole he had planted. The new bodyguard in front of him appeared just as cold and detached as Delbert, causing fear to creep into Kenny’s heart.

“Mr. Delbert...” Cory glanced at Delbert.

“Step back!” Delbert said indifferently.

“Yes, sir.” Cory turned and left.

Kenny led Delbert and Harriet, strolling toward the left side of the villa, while the servants curiously wondered when the relationship between the two had become so harmonious There stood a magnificent osmanthus tree, adorned with autumn blossoms that emitted a fragrant aroma.

Kenny paused beneath the tree and asked, “Do you remember this tree, Delbert?”

wat He gazed silently at the sweet-scented osmanthus, seemingly lost in reminiscence. “That year, we planted this tree with Dennis.

“But later on, your father perished in disgrace, and your mother ran away with you. Your family became a stain upon the Carlson family’s reputation, no Lud you munuyou recognition. Why should Grandpa now relinquish what was originally mine to you?”

He found it hard to believe that he was defeated by the unfavored Delbert.

Hatred burned in Kenny's eyes as he fixed a cold and sinister gaze upon Delbert.

With Milton absent and Harriet oblivious, he could unleash his frustration upon Delbert without restraint.

In her previous life, Harriet had never known about Delbert’s childhood struggles or the reasons behind the Carlson family’s disdain for him.

Now, after hearing Kenny’s words, Harriet fell into deep contemplation.
