Chapter 21 The Silver NeedleAfter a long while, Molly regained her composure and said, "I can help, but before that, you need to know something."Molly took out her phone and played the recording of Nora and Bessie's conspiracy.Harriet listened with disdain.These two fools were entering her traps again."I owe you one," Harriet said with a smile."Let's settle this favor now. This silver needle belongs to you, right?"Molly took out the silver needle and handed it to Harriet.Harriet took it, and the silver needle gleamed in her hand."It was left to me by my mother," she admitted.As a fellow practitioner, Molly saw the profound medical skill in Harriet. Presumably, it was inherited from her mother, Miriam, the top physician in Meawood City."Do you know why I asked you about this silver needle? When I started my apprenticeship, my master instructed me that if I ever saw this silver needle, I should immediately inform him."Molly took out another silver needle, identica

Chapter 23 UnsuspectingBessie approached the sack with a triumphant smile on her face. Little did she know that the one inside was her daughter.Harriet smirked and turned to leave.She needed to get into Cory's car and head to the island.Seeing her come down with her luggage, Clifton put on a gentle smile."Sweeheart, is the luggage heavy? Let me help you." Harriet declined the offer. After placing the luggage down, she pretended to be reluctant and hugged Clifton."Dad, I can't bear to part with you.""Me too!" Clifton put on a show of sorrow.He thought about taking the chance to ask about the inheritance left by Miriam.But before he could broach the subject, Harriet brought it up herself."Dad, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have sung to deceive you. Now I remember where my mother placed her treasure. But I have to leave now, or Delbert will be worried."Come and find me on Delbert's island tomorrow. I'll tell you.""Harriet, you are such a good daughter." Clif

Chapter 25 Arriving at the IslandWhen Bessie arrived at the front gate, Clifton told her that Harriet had already left.Bessie was shocked. "What? N... Harriet just left like that without saying goodbye to me?"Bessie felt a bit reluctant and regretful, but she soon smiled at the thought of imminent success."You never like Harriet, so stop pretending."Clifton gave her a strange look before turning back to the house.It didn't bother her.Once the plan succeeded, she would dump Clifton immediately....In the car, Harriet thought of what had just happened and smiled.In a good mood, she started humming a song.By now, Molly should have completed the task entrusted to her.There would be two good shows to watch tomorrow.At the intersection, the traffic light turned red, and Cory stopped the car."Madam, you look quite happy," he said, noticing Harriet's smile in the rearview mirror.Of course, she was happy. The mere anticipation of witnessing Bessie's devastated expre

Chapter 27 Bathroom EncounterHarriet joyfully went upstairs to Delbert's room.The room remained unchanged from her previous life when she first arrived here. The cool tones of the furnishings reflected the owner's temperament.Stepping into the room that had been her sanctuary for nearly a year, Harriet clenched her fingers. A mist of emotion clouded her eyes but soon dissipated.This very room had been the stage of her betrayal by Vernon. He had handed her a glass of wine, which she had naively believed to be laced with a mere sedative. Instead, it contained a lethal poison that extinguished the life of a proud and noble man.In this life, she vowed to shield Delbert from harm, even if it demanded the ultimate sacrifice."Delbert, I'm here to see you!"Harriet's voice echoed cheerfully through the room, but it was met with silence. Her eyes scanned the room, finding no trace of Delbert. The only sound was the rhythmic dripping of water from the bathroom.She curiously approa

Chapter 29 The Doll"I think I've found your treasure."Narrowing his eyes, Delbert clamped down on Harriet's wrist and reached into her sleeve to pull out a silver needle.The needle held between his fingers glimmered dangerously.Harriet's eyes widened for a moment, but she soon regained her composure and continued to look at him innocently."It turns out to be a needle. Are you trying to murder me, or do you have other plans?"Delbert smiled, but his voice was hoarse and chilling.Harriet remained unruffled.She had anticipated that Delbert would find her silver needle.At the engagement party earlier, his words in the backstage lounge showed that he had begun to suspect her intelligence.But for now, Harriet couldn't reveal the fact that she was pretending to be foolish.She dared not bet on whether Delbert would reserve a place for her in his heart after learning that she had regained her intelligence.And she already had a plan to deal with this situation.As Delbert
