Brad hoped they could oppose Vernon taking over the company, giving him a chance for a comeback.
As soon as Brad left, his followers immediately voiced their objections.
“I disagree with Vernon taking over the company. He has never been adept at managing companies.
During this period, he has caused us significant losses. If any issues arise, it’s not something any of us
can bear,” said one of them.
“I also disagree. Today’s events are bound to cause considerable panic. Is he capable of handling it?”

The people on Brad’s side all refused to let Vernon, illegitimate son, take the reins.
Narrowing her eyes, Lula walked behind Vernon and said, “Since Mr. Brad Morton has to undergo an
investigation and cannot temporarily handle the company’s affairs, it’s only natural for his brother to
take over the company. The Becker family will fully support the Morton family and try to compensate for

She had to support Vernon wholeheartedly to win in the future.
“I have no objection to Vernon taking over the Morton Group. He is also from the Morton family, and it
doesn’t make any difference which of them takes the helm,” the directors who were friendly with Lula

In the end, the minority yielded to the majority, and Vernon finally took the coveted position, but it was
also the beginning of his nightmare.

When Harriet heard that Vernon had returned to the Morton family, ousted Brad, and became the
president of the Morton Group, she had just woken up.
The moment she unlocked her phone, she was greeted with a piece of news that took her by surprise.
She had a hunch that Vernon couldn’t have orchestrated such a thing alone. There had to be an
accomplice.
‘But who could it be?’ She wondered.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Harriet decided to inform Joe later and request his help in the investigation.
When she glanced to the side, Delbert was already gone.
She touched the still-warm spot next to her, got dressed, and headed downstairs, calling out, “Delbert?”
A tantalizing aroma wafted from the kitchen. Rubbing her nose, Harriet found Delbert busily cooking.
Ever since he had learned to cook, he seemed to have developed a passion for preparing meals for her
every few days.
Seeing him in Opal’s pink apron, Harriet stifled a laugh and expressed her surprise. “Sandwiches?
Spaghetti? When did you learn to make these? These are all my favorites.”
Delbert turned around and smiled gently. “Awake? I found the recipes on the phone and learned to
make them.”
Harriet sniffed appreciatively, clutched her stomach, and praised him. “Delbert, you’re amazing!”
Delbert turned off the stove, removed his apron, and leaned down to

“Try my cooking. After eating, just rest at home. I have some things to take care of today,” he said.
“Okay,” Harriet responded.
After Delbert left, trouble arose on Joe’s end.
He was researching a new type of medicine when he received an urgent call.
“Mr. Cohen, we’re in trouble. Someone hacked all the computers in our lab, and now all the information
in the database is in chaos. Despite our numerous firewalls, this still happened.”
The caller’s tone suggested the gravity of the situation.
“What?” Joe’s face darkened.
He understood the severity of a database breach. If the data leaked out, the consequences would be
catastrophic.
Their company could potentially be ruined.
Without wasting a moment, Joe dialed Harriet’s number.
