Chapter 15 JealousyHarriet was shaken to the core.The words echoing in her ears seemed to overlap with the vows of Delbert from her previous life.He had spent all his money on her and pampered her to the extreme.For a moment, she thought that he hadn't changed. Just like in previous life, his eyes were full of love when he looked at her.But why did he look away when she grinned at him?Sure enough, he no longer had feelings for her in this lifetime.He was only forced to marry her because of the incident last night.Outside the hotel, Bessie tried to get the disheveled Nora into the car, but the latter refused to leave."Mom, why did you stop me? Why didn't you let me tell everyone that we didn't force that..."Before she could finish her words, Clifton slapped her hard."That fool is your sister."When Clifton hit her a second time, Nora could no longer hold back."She is a fool despised by everyone. Why did she become Delbert's fiancee? It should have been me."Nor
Chapter 16 An Acquaintance"Miss Harriet, wait. Did you drop this needle?" someone suddenly called out.'Needle?'Harriet narrowed her eyes and turned around, only to see a familiar figure.'It's her.'Harriet's eyelashes fluttered.Sure enough, the track of her life had altered. She hadn't expected to encounter Molly Haynes now.Molly had been kind to her in her previous life, but those people had caused Molly to meet a tragic end.Harriet trotted up to her and asked in confusion while blinking."Miss, are you a nurse? Are you going to give me an injection? Can you please be gentle? I'm afraid of needles."She frowned and tugged at Molly's clothes with a pitiful look.Delbert noticed a change in Molly's expression.Narrowing his eyes, he walked over and pulled Harriet away. "Come with me!""Miss, I will come to you for injections later."Harriet looked back and waved cheerfully at Molly.In this lifetime, she needed a friend to help her get things done.After a long ti
Chapter 17 Seducing HimHarriet was startled and then blushed.Even her earlobes turned rosy."Harriet, why are you blushing?"Delbert whispered his question while knowing the answer. His lips were attached to her ear.Instead of finding the silver needle, he touched a sensitive spot, but his hand continued to grope down.As his fingers brushed against her skin, a surge of electricity coursed through her body, kindling a flame that slowly consumed her from within.If things went on like this, she would end up just like last night.Harriet came up with an idea and smiled slyly."I don't have any treasure, but I've found yours," she said, grinning at him.At some point, her hands reached Delbert's belt."Is this your treasure? It's hard. Is it candy or gold?"She blinked innocently, her hands on the buckle.Delbert's mind was blown.He couldn't stand Harriet's innocent look. For him, it was simply a kind of irresistible temptation.The girl continued to toy with his belt,
Chapter 18 A Vicious PlanEven so, Harriet wanted to give it a try, to have a place in Delbert's heart....In the banquet hall, Nora stared in the direction where Harriet and Delbert had left. Her face was contorted with anger.Unable to stand it, she stormed out and screamed in the corridor like a lunatic.Clad in her filthy clothes, she looked nothing like a wealthy lady but rather like a vulgar servant."Ouch! Are you blind, bumkin?"The frenzied Nora bumped into the same socialite whose shawl she had snatched earlier.The socialite covered her nose in disgust upon smelling the odor from Nora. "Eww, what is that smell?"Recognizing Nora, she burst into mocking laughter with her companion."I thought it was some impolite servant. Turns out to be the Top Beauty of Meawood City.""After learning that her former fiancé, whom she willingly gave up for her sister, inherited the Carlson Group, Miss Nora got so angry that she vomited on the spot and fell into her puke."The vid
Chapter 19 The Assistant"Nora, don't cry. I've got a plan."Bessie helped Nora up from the ground and revealed her plan.Nora stopped crying and smiled.Bessie's plan was ingenious. Even Nora, who always nurtured malicious thoughts, admired her mother for her craftiness.Just now, Milton had announced at the engagement party that Harriet would move to Delbert's island to live with him.They only needed to knock Harriet unconscious and ship her away before Delbert's car arrived tonight.They would send Harriet to the 'Happy Harpers', a place for power and pleasure transactions.Any woman who entered there would become a seductive enchantress within two months.And Harriet, with her low intelligence, would be in a helpless state. She would be abused or killed by those perverted dignitaries.Nora would pass off as Harriet and get into the car bound for the island.When meeting Delbert, she would find a way to drug him. The scene of them sleeping together would be filmed, and
Chapter 20 MollyAlthough Cory knew that the lady might not understand, he still had to answer truthfully.But the information caused a stir in Harriet's heart.Originally, she had planned to take matters into her own hands and get rid of the traitor.She never expected Delbert to find out about the mole and take care of it.This development was becoming increasingly different from the events in her previous life, and she wondered what would happen next.The car soon arrived at the Munoz Villa.Cory respectfully asked, "Madam, do you need me to accompany you to get your luggage?""It's okay. I'm a smart girl. I will finish packing up in an hour."She giggled proudly and hopped her way toward the house.Harriet was going to meet Molly later and ask for her help with something. It couldn't be known to Cory.Just as Harriet got in, Molly's car stopped not far away.She looked at the brightly lit villa and clutched the silver needle in her hand. Instead of entering from the fro
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 22 None Would Get Away'Soon enough, you will meet your doom,' Nora thought.Harriet took the chicken soup and discreetly inserted a silver needle into it while Nora wasn't paying attention.Once the needle was immersed in the soup, its color began to fade, confirming that the soup had indeed been poisoned.Harriet put away the silver needle and gulped down the soup.Nora smiled contentedly and counted the time in her mind.Once Harriet fainted, she would take her to the back door, where the people arranged by Bessie were waiting to take Harriet to the Happy Harpers.However, nothing happened as twenty seconds had passed.Nora wondered if the drug was fake when Harriet spat out the soup and wrinkled her nose."This soup tastes awful. I don't like it.""Are you messing with me?"Nora angrily walked over and raised her hand to slap Harriet.But Harriet grabbed her wrist."Yes, I am." She sneered, her voice cold and cruel.Nora froze and widened her eyes in disbelief
