On the side, Vernon continued to endure the beating. His cries of pain were incessant, and Monica grew increasingly anxious. She knew that Delbert had recently become the head of the Carlson Group. The man must have offended Delbert to end up in such a situation.
“Please...” Monica pretended to cry, her eyes teary and her voice trembling. She kept her head down and dared not look at Delbert’s face.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Delbert, I’m sorry! | was just bored after returning home and came to Holy Night to get familiar with the area. | swear, | won't come to Holy Night again, or even this area!”
Seeing Monica apologizing at once, Delbert was less angry. Although his relationship with Monica’s parents had always been strained, he doted on her.
“| can let you off today since you just returned home. You should have a good rest. If | see you in a place like this again, you'll have the same result as his!”

Both Monica and Nora were alumni of Meawood Medical University. Before going abroad for further studies, she had heard from Nora how ugly and despicable her idiot sister, Harriet, was!
In Monica’s eyes, the plain and foolish Harriet didn’t deserve her handsome and highly educated cousin, Delbert, at all. This time, Monica had returned at Nora’s invitation to sabotage Harriet’s marriage to Delbert.
However, upon seeing Harriet in person, she suddenly felt that Harriet wasn’t as despicable and vulgar as Nora had described her. In fact, she was quite attractive.
But that didn’t change the fact that she was a fool!
“What did you say?” Upon hearing Monica describe Harriet as a fool, Delbert looked at her with cold eyes. His expression, which had just, softened, instantly turned icy again.
Monica was frightened and stepped back repeatedly, “I-I didn’t say anything...”
But did she look like she hadn’t said anything? In any case, Harriet had heard it. Monica had just spoken ill of her. It seemed that Delbert’s cousin didn’t like her very much!
But that was understandable. After all, Monica was Nora’s college classmate and had heard a lot of bad things about Harriet from Nora, so naturally she disliked her.
Harriet also didn’t miss the disgust and disdain that flashed in Monica’s eyes whenever she looked at her. It seemed that her days in the Carlson family were going to be quite eventful in the future!
