Chapter 69

Chapter 69 The Scheming Sister “| don’t care. | never said those words. Nora is lying.”

Harriet mimicked Nora’s unreasonable behavior, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at Nora and Vernon, like an irritated pufferfish.

Nora, filled with rage, shot deliberate and pitiful looks in Delbert’s direction, hoping to gain his sympathy.

But Delbert remained indifferent. Since arriving at the house, he hadn’t spared her a single glance.

“Delbert, | am telling the truth. Why is Harriet intentionally targeting me?

“Is it because you are here today that she dares not admit what she said to Vernon? But | believe you are not someone who holds grudges like this, right?

“Harriet, if you just tell Delbert the truth, he won’t blame you. Every girl has her first love.

“If you insist on denying this, then | can only apologize to you. I’m sorry, Harriet. Maybe it’s because you were so close to Vernon in the past that | misunderstood. Can you please stop being mad at me?” Nora feigned innocence and took all the blame upon herself.

Through the apology, she was trying to sow discord between Harriet and Delbert.

In her previous life, Harriet had suffered a lot in this regard.

Nora was subtly implying that Harriet’s current display of affection toward Delbert was to protect Vernon. Harriet feared that he might mmgunudistunu no relationem omni anu lane avuiuni uyumat Vernon.

Delbert maintained a calm fagade, keeping his thoughts hidden.

Nora, mistakenly believing that she had succeeded, felt a surge of pride.

She was convinced that he would soon oust Harriet and marry her.

Harriet scoffed at Nora’s confusing words.

She met Nora’s gaze with a mixture of innocence and malice, reclining lazily in Delbert’s arms.

“| don’t know why you keep lying like this. Vernon and | are just friends. Your words make me sad,” Harriet huffed.

“And I’m already engaged to Delbert. | only like him. Do you think Vernon is better than him?”

Nora wasn’t the only one who could pretend. She could too.

Nora cringed and hurriedly explained, “It’s not what | mean. You misunderstood.”

She covered her face, looking aggrieved.

“Delbert, look, Nora still hasn’t realized her mistake. You have to stop her from bullying me.”

Harriet didn’t want to continue acting with Nora anymore. She looked at Delbert with a pitiful expression, hoping that he could help step in.

No one had expected Harriet to be so sharp-tongued today, and they didn’t dare to speak up for Nora, not when Harriet was backed by the president of Munoz Group.

None of them could afford to offend him.

Delbert’s eyes darkened as he found that Harriet’s behavior was out of the ordinary.

She had been growing dependent on him.

He dared not think about what would happen if she did all of this for Vernon.

“Delbert, say something.”

Sensing Delbert looking at her with cryptic eyes, Harriet quickly leaned over to please him.
