Chapter 627
The next moment, Delbert looked up at Lily, and a killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"A malicious woman who doesn't deserve to live is clearly you!"
As Delbert's next words were spoken, Lily's face turned pale with shock and she stumbled backward several steps.
Oh no!
She had forgotten that Delbert was also here when she uttered those words earlier.
And now with his face darkened with anger, he was undoubtedly furious!
Lily was both afraid and anxious at once but seeing Harriet raise an eyebrow and fold her arms with a look of watching a good show.
Her face flushed with anger and she glared viciously at Harriet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Delbert's impression of her worsened because of this drama, could Harriet bear the responsibility?
She would never be done with Harriet!
But no matter how much Lily wanted to settle scores with Harriet, Delbert was by her side now.
She could forget settling scores. Delbert wouldn't even let her touch Harriet!
Lily glanced at Harriet who seemed to enjoy the drama then turned her head towards Delbert with a dark expression.
Gritting her teeth, she turned around to leave dejectedly.
But just as Lily turned around and was about to walk forward, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
Lily instinctively turned back and saw that it was Harriet behind her.
"Harriet, what are you doing?"
Lily raised her hand to swat away Harriet's hand!
As Lily's hand was about to touch her own, Harriet simply stepped back lightly and easily dodged Lily's hand, a mischievous and wicked smile curving her lips as she stepped back.
Lily's sudden turn and attempt to hit Harriet's hand had been forceful, and her balance was surely off.
When Harriet dodged, Lily immediately lost her balance, and the consequences were likely...
Only a "thump" was heard.
Lily's footing faltered, and she fell straight to the ground.
Her body was slightly bruised at the elbows.
But her face took the worst of it.
Lily had fallen face-first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer nose was bleeding from the knock, and her face was bruised with patches of blue and purple, looking painfully sore.
Seeing Lily in such a state, Harriet, who had anticipated that, stepped forward with a clever smile.
"I was simply kindly reminding Miss Lily not to forget about our bet before leaving, to remember to kneel and apologize to me. But I didn't expect you to be so committed to your promise. Before I could even speak, you had already knelt down.
"And then, you even performed such an earnest kowtow, truly living up to the noble nof the Lynch family with your honesty and integrity!"
Lily, already somewhat angry from the fall, was now absolutely furious after hearing Harriet's words!
She slowly got up from the ground, propping herself up with her hands.
Her disheveled appearance was far from that of a lady of wealth. If one ignored her attire, mistaking her for a beggar wouldn't be too far-fetched.
Just as Lily steadied herself and was about to pounce on Harriet, she roared nearly madly, "Harriet, you've gone too far! I won’t let this go!"
Harriet simply moved slightly to the right, easily dodging Lily's attack.
Seeing Lily's frantic state, Harriet feigned innocence with a shrug, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance,
"Miss Lily, that's not fair. Where have I gone too far? It was you who wanted to bet on stones, and you who cheated and got caught.
"I was just kindly reminding you that you hadn't fulfilled our bet. Now you're trying to hit me. How can you say I've gone too far?"
Lily, driven to madness by her fall, didn't care who was actually at fault.
