“When I’m not at home, you shouldn’t try to escape or meet any n outside,” Delbert said.
Suddenly remembering something, he bent down and narrowed eyes. “I’ll be back in three days.”
Then his warm lips pressed against hers. Harriet closed her eyes, letting him give her a goodbye kiss.
“Okay! I’ll wait for you at home,” she said, nodding obediently.
Her smile was innocent and harmless.
Satisfied with her behavior, Delbert licked his lips, grabbed his co
from the sofa, and left.
A few hours later, Delbert arrived in Imperium.
It was nighttime, and the city was brightly lit.
Imperium was the capital city, with numerous wealthy and influen families intertwined, forming a vast network of money and power.
There were only four major clans, with the Carlson family as the leader. They oversaw the city and had the power to influence the global economy.
The Carlson Group originally rose to prominence in Imperium, but later, because Milton liked tranquility, they relocated to Meawood Ci to develop. However, their influence in Imperium could not be ignore

someone, accompanied by the crying of a woman.
He knew what was happening inside.
With mixed feelings, he pushed open the door and walked in.
Sure enough, he saw Vicky sitting on the sofa, glaring at the housekeeper, Tara, who was kneeling on the floor.
Tara was crying pitifully.
Tara was an orphan whom Delbert rescued when he was young. He . sympathized with her and kept her in Imperium to take care of Vicky.
However, this decision caused Tara a lot of suffering because of Vicky’s illness. She was often subjected to beatings and scoldings.
Now, seeing Tara cry so sadly, Vicky showed no mercy and pointed at
her nose.
“You’re so useless! You can’t even handle such a small matter, and you broke my favorite vase!” Vicky cursed.
Tears streamed down Tara’s face.
“Madam, I’m sorry. I wanted to clean up for you and accidentally broke the vase. Please forgive me!” she said, trying to pick up the shattered pieces from the ground.
However, in a moment of carelessness, one of her fingers was cut a sharp shard, and blood spattered on the porcelain.
Instead of feeling sorry for her, Vicky continued to curse. “This vase an antique. Even if I were to sell you, you could not afford to compensate. Go outside and kneel for a day and a night.”
The harsh punishment caused Tara to cry even more bitterly.
“Enough!” Delbert intertwined.
Tara smirked, her eyes flickering.
She had been putting on a show to gain Delbert’s sympathy. She fell in love with him the moment he saved her.
