Chapter 83 Where’s Harriet
Burning with anxiety, Delbert immediately put on his coat and got up to leave.
He had just left for a while, but she was missing!
What if he was not around her in the future?
Seeing him leaving, Yuri pointed at his watch and called, “Hey, Delbert,
are you going to leave after just being here for less than thirty minutes?”
He had not yet drunk to his heart’s content!
Sean also asked him to stay, “That’s right, Delbert. Why are you in
such a hurry? What happened? Let’s drink one more glass!”
“Don’t you see he is going home to see Harriet? Stop shouting!” Marc snapped, suggesting they shut up.
Yuri and Sean fell silent.
‘Fine, we didn’t say anything,’ they muttered inwardly.

On his way back, a heavy rain caught him.
Wrought with worry, Delbert ran a few red lights and narrowly avoided
hitting a passerby before returning to the island.
He parked the car, staggered out, and rushed into the hall.
“Where’s Miss Harriet?”
“Mr. Delbert?”
The servants in the villa were shocked to see him with a disheveled

They neglected Miss Harriet and even let her go missing. God, Mr. Delbert would kill them!
Only Opal came over in a panic to report, “Sir, after you left, Miss Harriet had been walking along the beach. Then it rained, and she
was gone!”
Delbert’s inner obsession was on the verge of exploding when he heard “she was gone.”
Now, his mind was flooded with the memory of Harriet’s tearful expression as his car pulled out of the island. She had chased after him, pleading for him to stay.
Damn it! If he had stayed, nothing would have happened to her, right?
Eyes red, he roared at these servants, “Why stand here like statues? Go look for Miss Harriet. If you’re back without her, I’ll kill you all!”
However, Harriet, whom Delbert desperately sought to find at the moment, was still wandering aimlessly in the dense forest, unable to find her way out.
The rain fell steadily, and the cold wind was whistling. Under their attack, her mind would be clear one moment and then murky the next.
She failed to notice something: the crescent-shaped scar on her back, which had disappeared, reappeared after the rain soaked the spot. Now, it exuded a bewitching light in the moonlight.
Realizing that she might have lost her way, Harriet had attempted to take out her phone to call for help but found it had gotten wet and wouldn’t turn on.
Then, she had no choice but to push aside the lush trees and move forward, searching for a way out. However, the farther she went, the less light there was. In addition, she heard eerie animal calls coming

She put herself on guard, prepared to retrieve the silver needle from her sleeve, but she found she had no strength, as if all her bones had
vanished.
In the end, she couldn’t bear it, and fell at the foot of a tree.
“Harriet… Harriet…”
Now, Delbert had come to the dense forest in the south.
Since it was dark, he could only use the dim light of his phone to illuminate his way. While he was calling, he ventured deeper into the forest.
If something really happened to Harriet, he would not forgive himself
for the rest of his life!
After some unknown time, Delbert suddenly stopped and stared
intensely at a spot not far away, his thin, long eyes darker and deeper in the darkness.
He spotted a big tree under which a lady in a white dress was sitting on the ground, her back against the tree.
