Chapter 358
Delbert dressed up in disguise today, but it was a look put together by Harriet. She recognized the lady as someone who married a rich man. and went beyond herself.
“I’m fine,” Delbert said calmly.
Deep down, he was delighted by Harriet’s protection.
The lady was rendered speechless. Harriet gave her a disdainful glance and led Delbert to leave.
The lady was not satisfied. Under Blake’s instruction, she deliberately spread rumors at the banquet that Harriet had betrayed Delbert and was having an affair with Darryl.
Delbert took a break to answer a phone call outside.
After exchanging pleasantries with several business partners, Harriet sat alone at the dining table and drank champagne, one glass after
another.
From time to time, some of the elites would gossip about the secrets between wealthy families. Harriet listened casually.
At that moment, they were gossiping about the rumor that the wealthy lady had just maliciously spread.
“Guys, do you know that Harriet rejects Mr. Carlson and has an affair with her assistant?”
“Yeah! She has been shameless and unruly since she regained her intelligence. Now she even has the nerve to serve as the chairman of the Munoz Group. What a joke!”
“Agreed. She was just a stupid girl before. It was only because she married Mr. Carlson that she could have a good life. Yet she doesn’t
cherish it.”
Harriet frowned at their gossip.
These people listened to rumors and talked without knowing the
facts.
A bit tipsy, Harriet approached them and said, “Don’t let others lead you by the nose. I’m just protecting my assistant. Having an affair? Ridiculous!”
Those ladies looked at her for a while before recognizing her. They whispered to each other, saying that Delbert was causing trouble and acting crazily.
“What do you care about me? It’s your tongues that are too long. Do you need me to help you cut them off?” Harriet said.
Those ladies were annoyed by her arrogance.
“Don’t think that you can be reckless just because you have Mr. Carlson behind you. When I expose your affair, will Mr. Carlson still protect you?” said one of them.
“Okay, I’m waiting.” Harriet didn’t want to argue with them. They were ignorant.
Feeling tipsy, she turned away from the table and walked toward the garden outside.
She dizzily looked at the elites coming and going in the banquet hall. Feeling unwell, she decided to go to the garden to get some fresh air.
Delbert would not be happy if he saw her like this.
Just then, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes suddenly appeared in front of her.
