Chapter 307

“Delbert is dead. Milton is old and weak. Shawn and Kenny an useless. How long can the Carlson family hold on? Sooner we will divide it up,” someone whispered.

Harriet listened calmly.

“Delbert, have you offended a lot of people in the business wo she asked.

Delbert raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned. “How do you know?”

Harriet rolled her eyes.

She could tell it from those people’s discussions.

Normally, the guests would feel heavy about the death of someone When it came to Delbert’s death, however, most of the people presen gloated over it.

Harriet wondered what Delbert had done that made these influential figures in Meawood City celebrate his death.

“Since | took over the Carlson Group, | took advantage of the downturn in the industry and merged with many small companies. It’s normal for people to hate me,” Delbert explained, afraid that Harriet would mistake him for a ruthless person.

“In the business world, survival of the fittest is also normal. They couldn't let go of their grudges, and it’s not my fault.”

Harriet nodded, feeling sorry for him Delbert was a cold person, but he was not heartless.

The reason he hadn’t made a move was to give Shawn and his family a chance.

Unfortunately, they all believed there was nothing wrong with taking back what belonged to them.

“Faking death is a countermeasure. Shawn has been tryin the servants around him and poison me since | rejoined the family in my early teens,” Delbert revealed.

“You...” Harriet was surprised.

Delbert had never told her anything about this.

And she had never heard about it in her last life or this one.

She wondered how Delbert managed to survive all these years alon on the island.

He was so little back then.

Harriet had thought she understood Delbert well, but in fact, she didn’t know anything about his tragic experiences.

“Shawn and the others have never cared for me. They only wanted to kill me, so | wouldn’t be soft-hearted anymore. Do you think | am heartless?” Delbert asked casually.

“After today, | guarantee that their lives will never be as good as they are now. They will pay the price for harming me all these years!”

Delbert never bothered to explain these things to outsiders. He never cared about how they smeared his name. But today, he was afraid. He was afraid that Harriet would misunderstand him.

Harriet’s eyes glinted with coldness, and she said, “They deserve this!”
