Delbert spoke up, his fingers involuntarily clenching tighter.

Cory replied respectfully, “Ever since you, Mr. Delbert, officially took over the Carlson Group, Shawn

has been very dissatisfied. He sent many people to closely monitor you, waiting to catch you at a fault?

“As for Kenny, besides his recent trip to the island while you’re away. his recent movements are quite

secretive. He seems to be up to something.”

Delbert’s expression darkened slightly, “Keep a close watch on Shawn and Kenny. Don’t let them stir

up any trouble!”

“Sure, Mr. Delbert!”

Cory was about to turn and leave when Delbert stopped him, “Wait a second.”

Coturned back and asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Delbert?”

wn appeared on Delbert’s handsome face, and the drawn-out sound of his breathing made Cory

somewhat nervous.

What was wrong?

“Cory, do you… do you have a girlfriend? I need to ask you something.

Hearing that, Cory broke out in a cold sweat. In just a second, he understood that Delbert might want to

ask him about romance.

“You know, Mr. Delbert, I’m fully committed to my work and have no time for a girlfriend. So I can’t offer

you any advice about your situation with Miss Harriet.”

Delbert was upset.

It was true. He indeed couldn’t rely on others’ advice to deal with the problems between Harriet and

him.

“You may go,” Delbert said weakly, waving his hand.

After bowing respectfully, Cory turned and left.

Once out of the office, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Was Delbert so desperately seeking help? As an assistant who revolved around Delbert every day, he

had no time to find himself a girlfriend!

The next day.

Molly learned from Marc that Harriet was imprisoned by Delbert. She didn’t even care that her body

hadn’t fully recovered and rushed to the island in a flurry.

Harriet had saved her. She was her lifesaver, so she couldn’t let Harriet suffer on the island.

But just as she rushed into the villa hall and was about to go upstairs. to see Harriet, she was stopped

by Opal.

“I’m sorry Miss Haynes, Mr. Delbert has ordered that no one should disturb Miss Harriet’s rest.“

Molly was anxious, “Opal, just let me take a quick look. If you let Delbert keep her locked up like this,

she’ll get sick!”

Molly knew Harriet’s character very well.

Harriet was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. What Delbert was doing must have deeply hurt

Harriet’s heart.

She couldn’t imagine how such a proud girl like Harriet endured being locked in a room with iron chains

without seeing daylight.

She could empathize. Although Marc didn’t lock her up, the Welch family’s mansion felt almost like a

prison to her.

“Miss Haynes, please don’t make things difficult for me. Mr. Delbert

said no one is allowed to disturb Miss Harriet. If I let you in, I’ll be

thrown off the island and out of Meawood City!”

Opal still remembered Colleen’s fate.

Opal had parents and a young brother at home to support, so she absolutely couldn’t lose this job.

Seeing Opal not giving in at all, Molly felt powerless.

She couldn’t go against Delbert either.

In such a situation, she felt utterly useless for not being able to do anything for Harriet!

But thinking of Harriet all alone in her room when she needed company the most, Molly couldn’t just

turn around and leave.

She silently lowered her head.

Opal saw Molly lower her head without a word, thinking she was. weighing the pros and cons and

preparing to leave.

But unexpectedly, in the next second, Molly threw down her bag and dashed past her up the stairs!
