The man in black narrowed his eyes menacingly.

“Is Harriet truly a fool?” he questioned.

“Absolutely not! I’m convinced she’s been feigning ignorance all this time,” Nora responded, her teeth

clenched in frustration.

She had been utterly deceived by Harriet, whom she had believed to be a simpleton.

The man in black scrutinized Nora’s face, finding no signs of deceit. He chose to trust her words.

His master had given clear instructions. If they discovered that Harriet was not a fool, they were to

eliminate her immediately.

Since they couldn’t approach Delbert directly, they had to rely on Nora to deal with Harriet.

The man in black scoffed, “Alright, we’ll give you another chance. Since Delbert has been aiding

Harriet, why don’t you devise a plan to ensure he can’t assist her anymore? Then, when the

opportunity presents itself, eliminate Harriet.”

His voice grew colder as he spoke, carrying an unmistakable threat. You’ll need assistance this time.

You can contact me whenever necessary, but remember, if you fail again, you’ll pay with your life.”

The chilling, ruthless words sent shivers down Nora’s spine. She realized this was her last chance.

“Yes! Don’t worry, I will accomplish the mission,” she stammered, nodding fearfully.

Yet her eyes burned with an intensified hatred for Harriet.

She was determined to destroy Harriet. If it hadn’t been for her, Nora wouldn’t have had to endure such

humiliation and suffering.

This time, she planned to make a significant move, and she wouldn’t spare Vernon and Lula either.

At Milton’s house, after Harriet had fallen asleep, Delbert left their bedroom to see Milton in the study

room.

They had a heated discussion. Delbert didn’t want Harriet to be involved in the Carlson family’s affairs.

“Grandpa, since I’ve already promised to help you oust Shawn and his family, I will certainly do it. So,

please refrain from involving Harriet in these matters,” he said. “Whether it’s about share ownership or

these manipulative schemes, I don’t want her to be aware. I just want her to be content being herself.

“If you insist on involving her, then I renounce my claim to the leadership of the Carlson Group.”

In his previous life, he had sacrificed a lot for the presidency of Carlson Group, only to fail to protect the

woman he loved.

In this life, he wanted nothing more than for Harriet to be safe and

content.

As for the blood-stained, guilt-ridden affairs, he would handle them himself.

Milton was taken aback. “You…”

He realized that Delbert was no longer the obedient child he had once brought back to the Carlson

family.

Delbert had grown up and become even more formidable, beyond his

control.

Milton sighed and conceded, “Alright, I promise not to involve Harriet.”

He turned away, feeling a sense of loss.

Harriet was his granddaughter-in-law, after all. He had no intention of harming her. He had merely

hoped that she could restrain Delbert.

But he hadn’t anticipated that Delbert was beyond his control.

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Delbert said before leaving.

As he opened the bedroom door, he noticed that Harriet was awake, sitting on the bed waiting for him.

As soon as she saw him enter, she stood up.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” he asked gently, looking at the worried girl.
