Chapter 282After a while, Harriet's phone rang. It was still Monica's number, so she quickly answered the call."I'll give you one more chance. Bring one billion dollars to see me, or I will kill Monica," Nora said.Nora's face, which had been cured, was suddenly swollen and rotting. She went to the hospital and found out that the wound had been infected and required urgent treatment.But the subsequent treatment costs were in the tens of millions. After injuring Harriet, Nora could have escaped abroad, but to save her face, she had to come back and kidnap Monica to force Harriet to give her money and help her fix her face.Harriet remained silent for a while before sneering."Nora, have you lost your mind? Why should I agree to your demands? Just because you got hold of Monica's phone, you dare to claim that she's in your hands? Do you think I will believe whatever you say?" Harriet said.Nora's voice on the other end of the phone became sharp. "Then I'll let you hear her voic

Chapter 284Monica's heart began to beat violently. She felt a deep fear of death weighing heavily on her.She didn't want to die, but she didn't want to submit to someone like Nora either.She had been so good to Nora before, but she never expected that Nora would forget everything and even kidnap her.Nora was such a heartless person.Monica's lips trembled as she said, "I don't want to stay here."A triumphant expression appeared on Nora's face, and she pretended to be comforting."You've made the right choice. It's not worth dying for that despicable Harriet," she said. "Alright, let her go."Nora waved her hand, and two men walked over to help Monica up from the ground.Nora took out her phone and handed it to Monica."Come on and make a statement. Let's expose Harriet together. You hate her too, don't you?" she said.Unexpectedly, Monica didn't take the phone. Instead, she gathered her strength and lunged at Nora.Grabbing Nora's neck, she roared, "Don't come any clos

Chapter 286In the end, Monica was found by Cory and rescued from the mud."Miss Monica, you're safe now," Cory said.Monica, who had survived the ordeal, could barely see anything, but Cory's words were deeply etched in her heart.This was the first time Cory had seen Monica in such a pitiful state. She was always arrogant and willful, but this time she seemed frightened.They were on a mountain that the car couldn't reach. Monica was running a light fever again, so Cory had no choice but to carry her down the mountain.His solid back gave Monica a sense of security. Perhaps because of the fever, her heart was pounding rapidly."By the way, what's your name?" she weakly said."Cory, assistant to Mr. Delbert," Cory replied."I'm Monica..."But before Monica could hear Cory's next words, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.Cory quickly took her to the hospital for treatment.Upon receiving the news of Monica's injury, her parents and Trevor Carlson rushed to the hos

Chapter 288"Thank you!" Harriet said.Delbert chuckled and indulgently looked at her. "You are my wife, so it's only right for me to protect you."Cory found their display of affection annoying."I'll go and try to find the man in black," he said, leaving the space for Delbert and Harriet.Instead of staying there and watching them show affection, he might as well go to work.When Delbert took Harriet home, he was surprised to find Clifton on the island.Clifton forced his way in, begging Harriet and Delbert to return the Munoz Group to him.Clifton had been detained by the police for more than twenty days because of the scandals reported by his subordinates. When he came out, he heard that the Munoz Group had gone bankrupt and had been acquired by Harriet and merged into the Carlson Group.If the Munoz Group was gone, he would have no chance of survival.He resented Harriet for pretending to be foolish, but he had to come and beg her."Harriet, Mr. Delbert, I was wrong. Pl

Chapter 290"When I'm not at home, you shouldn't try to escape or meet any men outside," Delbert said.Suddenly remembering something, he bent down and narrowed his eyes. "I'll be back in three days."Then his warm lips pressed against hers. Harriet closed her eyes, letting him give her a goodbye kiss. "Okay! I'll wait for you at home," she said, nodding obediently.Her smile was innocent and harmless.Satisfied with her behavior, Delbert licked his lips, grabbed his coat from the sofa, and left.A few hours later, Delbert arrived in Imperium. It was nighttime, and the city was brightly lit. Imperium was the capital city, with numerous wealthy and influential families intertwined, forming a vast network of money and power.There were only four major clans, with the Carlson family as the leader. They oversaw the city and had the power to influence the global economy.The Carlson Group originally rose to prominence in Imperium, but later, because Milton liked tranquility, t
