Chapter 251 The maid replied respectfully.
This morning, before Delbert left, he had specifically instructed that no matter who came looking for Harriet, this was what they were to be told.
“Is that so?” Kenny of course knew she was lying, but what he didn’t understand was why Delbert suddenly decided to hide Harriet away. Could it be that the ambush by the men in black had frightened him? Was this fool, Harriet, really that important in his heart?
“Well then, | suppose | can at least come in for a cup of coffee, right?” Kenny said with a flirtatious smile, his voice low and husky.
The maid’s face flushed red, and she quickly said, “Please come in, Mr. Kenny.” Henle
The maid stepped aside to let Kenny in, her heart racing because of sensually charming voice. wir. Kenny, please have a seat. I'll go and make you some coffee.”
After finishing, the maid hurriedly walked away.
Watching her flee in panic, Kenny snorted, then shifted his gaze upstairs. Harriet should be in the bedroom on the second floor right now, right?
After looking around, he got up and headed straight upstairs.
As he walked toward the end of the hallway, he faintly heard aContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
It seemed Harriet was indeed there.
Kenny paused for a moment, then smiled and walked toward that
room.
Inside the bedroom.
The floor was littered with a meal that Harriet had overturned earlier. Soup and dishes were scattered everywhere, and the expensive carpet was beyond saving-a total mess.
Opal stood still, looking at Harriet sitting on the bed with a haggard face. She hated to see Harriet suffer like this. She thought for a moment but decided not to say anything. Perhaps Harriet didn’t want to talk right now.
Harriet was so kind to her, yet she could do nothing for her. Moreover, she had to follow Delbert’s orders and locked her up here, away from daylight.
Opal crouched down to silently pick up the pieces and threw them into the trash can nearby, planning to take them away later. “Miss Harriet, whenever you're hungry, feel free to ask me to bring you gain, but...” aused there and continued, “Even if you hate us and resent us, you must think about your health. Please don’t act on impulse!”
Opal was right. Harriet’s behavior of refusing to eat wouldn't soften Delbert’s heart and might even anger him. In the end, it would be her own body that would suffer first.
“It doesn’t matter. I’d rather starve than be tied up here like a dog.” Harriet was even more stubborn than Opal had imagined. She refused to give in.
“Whether you eat or not, I’ll bring meals regularly every day. Please care more about your health.”
After expressing her concern, Opal picked up a bag of broken pieces and prepared to leave Harriet’s bedroom.
Outside the door, hearing footsteps, Kenny immediately went downstairs and managed to disappear at the stairwell just as Opal opened the door to leave.
It turned out that Harriet was locked up by Delbert.
That proved his silly sister-in-law was still very important in his cousin’s eyes!
After the bedroom door closed, Harriet lay down on the bed powerlessly, her lips curling into a bitter smile.
Was there really no turning back between her and Delbert?
But she truly didn’t want to live in darkness without any hope!
As for the promise she made to Delbert before her death in her previous life, she really couldn’t keep it up anymore!
