Chapter 206
Just then a male voice sounded out of place
“Haret” Vemon called out from not far away.
He slowly approached Harriet, completely ignoring Delbert’s presence.
He was now the head of the Morton family and had no reason to be afraid of Delbert anymore.
With a gentle smile on his face, he acted as if he and Harriet were close. The guests locked at them
curiously.
When Vernon walked up to Harriet he pretended to be surprised and glanced at Delbert.
“Mr. Delbert, you’re here too. You know, I used to accompany Harriet to Nora’s birthday parties,” he
