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, | used to accompany Harriet to Nora’s birthday parties,” he said.

Then he shifted the topic and deliberately mentioned Harriet’s dress.” This dress looks quite expensive. Did Mr. Delbert buy it for you?

“Mr. Delbert is rich and influential. It's no wonder your parents wanted you to marry him, and you did.

“But even so, | am still your Vernon. You can tell me if you need anything.”

Hamet couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Since when did Vernon learn to speak like Nora? She thought.

She stared at Vernon with icy eyes, and her tone was chilly.

“How much my dress costs is none of your business!” she added with disdain.

The banquet hall erupted in mocking laughter.

The guests imagined Vernon, who usually wore a well-tailored suit, wearing a dress. They tried their best to hold back their laughter, but they ey couldn't help bursting out.

Harriet looked at the blushing Vernon and smirked.

Vernon could practice for thousands of years and still couldn’t win against her in a word game.

Vernon looked at the disdainful expressions of the people around him, his face turning even redder. He wanted to explain, but words failed him.

The surrounding mockeries continued to echo, and Vernon was.

infuriated.

‘When did Harriet become so sharp-tongued?’ He pondered.

It seemed that Nora didn’t lie to him. Harriet had been pretending to aking he met Home Decked in Writerer and indifferent dance at bir
