Chapter 357
Harriet resembled a proud black swan. Her beauty was beyond words.
Blake welcomed her at the entrance, leading a group of executives.
“Harriet, you look stunning today,” he said with a fake smile.
Originally, he thought Delbert would come together with Harriet, but to his surprise, it was Darryl accompanying her. He thought Delbert had already gotten rid of Darryl.
What is Delbert thinking? He turns a blind eye to Harriet’s love affairs?
Blake thought.
If Delbert refused to get rid of Darryl, he would do it.
Once Darryl was out of the picture, Harriet couldn’t pose much o threat to him. In the end, the Munoz Group would be under his control.
The banquet began, and Harriet went on stage to give a speech.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's inauguration ceremony and the charity dinner. Regarding what happened with the Munoz Group before, | deeply regret it,” she started.
She remained calm, her eyes filled with reminiscence.
Delbert watched unblinkingly. Harriet had grown up a lot. It seemed like she no longer needed his protection. Someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. “Darryl.”
Delbert turned around and saw Blake’s smiling face.
“Mr. Munoz!” He nodded, looking down at Blake.
Blake maintained his smile. “It’s crowded today. As Harriet’s
assistant, you should go and help at the reception desk. Don’t neglect the guests.’
After a lengthy speech, Harriet felt relieved as she walked down from
the stage. She looked up, but Delbert was nowhere to be seen.
‘Where did he go?’ She wondered.
Just as she was looking around for Delbert, a sharp female voice suddenly came from not far away. AText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What are you doing? Do you know how much this outfit costs? You'll never be able to afford it. Harriet looked over and saw a lady wearing a mink cape. She was scolding a man and a waiter. The man was tall with broad shoulders. In contrast to the anxio waiter, he remained composed.
“I'm sorry,” he said.
It was none other than Delbert. “Hmph! Is an apology useful? The two of you are useless!” said the woman.
It seemed that the waiter had accidentally spilled a drink on the lady, and the commotion attracted many onlookers, who burst into laughter.
Harriet knew that Delbert was restraining himself for the sake of her inauguration ceremony. If it were another time, he would have
snapped at the lady. Harriet wouldn't allow Delbert to be wronged before her.
“Your clothes are nothing compared to his.” Harriet walked straight over and said, “His clothes are custom-made. His shoes and tie are among the best luxury items in the world. Who do you think you are?”
