Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Unexpected Return “Sir, Kenny has returned from Keford!” Cory announced respectfully.

Delbert stood before the expansive floor-to-ceiling window, gazing outside.

Down in the back garden, Harriet was helping Tucker bathe.

Tucker had been in the mountains for far too long, neglecting its. appearance to the point that its white fur had turned gray.

Unable to tolerate it, Harriet took Tucker to the garden after lunch, intent on giving it an open-air bath.

The fierce-looking mastiff appeared like a gentle giant before Harriet, obedient to her every command.

As she bathed Tucker, they both frolicked in the water, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Witnessing this heartwarming sight filled Delbert with a sense of completeness deep within his heart.

Finally, he had his beloved girl.

From now on, he vowed never to let her suffer, even if it meant facing insurmountable challenges.

“It's best to let him walk right into the trap,” Delbert remarked, turning away from the scene and addressing Cory.

His sharp eyes reflected the cold-toned decor of the study room, exuding an intimidating presence.

Standing tall and imposing against the backlight, he seemed to vi “Do you need me to act now?” Cory cautiously inquired.

“No need,” Delbert replied with a sly smile. “When he returns, he will undoubtedly make significant moves. It’s not wise to act hastily. Let’s wait and observe.”

Delbert knew that Kenny’s sudden return was due to Milton’s abrupt decision to bestow upon him the inheritance rights of Carlson Group. It engaged Kenny and drove him to prepare for a confrontation.

Despite the absence of animosity between them, Delbert would show no mercy if Kenny obstructed his path.

As expected, Delbert soon received a call from Milton informing him. of Kenny’s return and a family dinner planned for the following day.

He was urged to bring Harriet and reminded of guarding against Kenny’s significant actions.

“Grandpa, | know what to do,” Delbert assured confidently.

“You can go now. | must go tease my bride,” he said with a pleasant tone.

Delbert dismissed Cory after the call.

Compared to his bride, nothing seemed to matter.

The last few words carried a hint of complexity, concealed behind smiling facade.

Cory couldn't help but shudder at the implications of Mr. Delbert’s teasing.

Delbert went downstairs with the newspaper featuring news about the Munoz family.

Harriet was still playing joyfully with Tucker in the garden.

“Harriet!” Delbert called out.

“Delbert!” Harriet exclaimed, releasing Tucker and running toward him happily.
