Chapter 175

“Delbert, I’ve been waiting for you,” Harriet said, her eyes heavy with

sleep.

She was a light sleeper and had noticed when Delbert left the room.

She knew he must have gone to see Milton, but she was puzzled by the troubled look on his face when

he returned.

Delbert couldn’t help but chuckle. “Would you like to sleep when I

return?”

Caught off guard by his intense gaze, Harriet quickly lowered her eyes, her heart fluttering. “Delbert,

I’ve prepared your bath.”

As he hadn’t mentioned his visit to Milton, Harriet didn’t dare to ask.

She was about to leave him in the bathroom when he suddenly grasped her hand.

“Stay, okay?” Delbert said.

His voice was low and enticing, stirring something within Harriet.

She blushed at his words.

They hadn’t been so intimate on the island.

“No, I want to watch TV.” Harriet quickly refused.

But he persisted, mimicking her coyness. “Don’t you love me anymore? Can’t you grant me this small

request?”

He loosened his grip on her hand.

Startled, Harriet instinctively clung to him.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally relented.

He pulled her closer, finding her flushed face endearing.

Before she could react, she found herself sitting on his lap, his warm lips pressing against hers.

His masculine scent, mixed with a potent pheromone, overwhelmed her senses. His large hand cradled

her head while the other held her

waist.

Her sweetness made him unable to stop. The scent of the woman seeped into his nose.

Harriet made a muffled sound and struggled slightly.

“Don’t move!” Delbert said with a hoarse voice.

Any normal man wouldn’t be able to control himself with her moving around like this.

But he didn’t want to do anything to her in the bathroom. This was Milton’s house, not the island, after

all.

Sensing the situation, Harriet immediately stopped moving.

A few minutes later, their clothes were soaked with sweat and the

mist from the bathroom.

Delbert narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. “It’s all sweat. Looks. like we’ll have to take a bath.”

Before Harriet could comprehend the situation, she was already being carried into the bathtub,

splashing water everywhere.

Harriet couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Then she quickly covered her mouth

If the people in this heard, who knew what they would think of

House

It would be embarrassing.

Sam, the butler sent to eavesdrop, immediately went back to report to

Milton.

“Miss Harriet and Mr. Delbert are pretty close,” he said.

Milton listened and pondered.

It seemed that Harriet was Delbert’s soft spot, an existence he couldn’t get his hands on. Otherwise,

Delbert would surely lose

control.

Milton wrestled with conflicting emotions over arranging the engagement between Harriet and Delbert.

He desired Delbert’s happiness but also dreaded this perceived vulnerability.

In the bathroom, Delbert said, “Harriet, are you shouting so loud on purpose to let everyone here know

what we are doing?”

“Stop teasing me!” Harriet huffed, too embarrassed to lift her head.

Her cheeks were burning, and her heart was beating wildly.

“Alright!” Delbert chuckled and continued, “But I’m going to take

ction now. Remember to keep your voice down.”

Overwhelmed by lust, Delbert took a deep breath, flipped over, and

bore down on Harriet.

At the hospital, the black-clad man swiftly departed after completing

his mission.

The door closed, and Nora breathed a sigh of relief.

Though she had saved herself, the black-clothed man’s blow reopened her wounds, leaving her face

bleeding and her hands covered in crimson.

Weakly, she rose, hurrying to the bathroom to clean up.

But as she gazed into the mirror, the recently stitched wounds had torn open, mingling with dried blood

and unsightly stitches.

Her once-beautiful face now bore horrifying scars.

The sight of her disfigured appearance made Nora have a mental breakdown.

“Ah! This isn’t me!” she screamed, collapsing onto the floor.

She wondered if her face could really recover.

If not, her life would be all over.

A woman’s most important concern in life was undoubtedly her face, especially when it used to be her

most worthy thing to show off.

“Why should I suffer alone? Why does Harriet get to live so well? I won’t accept it,” Nora growled,

smashing things in the ward.

She was bent on getting her revenge at all costs.

Her eyes brimming with fury and resentment, she vowed, “Harriet, since you cherish your relationship

with Delbert, I’ll make him disillusioned with you and cast you out.”

Nora soon came up with a plan.

Since Delbert had been there to support Harriet, she would find a way to make Harriet disappoint

Delbert.

If she could get Harriet to pursue Vernon, she would like to see if Delbert was still willing to help Harriet.

Presumably, Delbert would kill Harriet on the spot.

Nora was determined to get rid of Harriet and Vernon with one stone.

‘Harriet, you were lucky in the past, but you won’t get away this time.” Nora thought.
