Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Painful Childhood The root cause of all this probably lay with Delbert’s parents.

Harriet wondered what he had been through in his childhood.

She looked at the man beside her. At that moment, Delbert seemed so isolated, emanating an icy chill from his lofty position.

Delbert turned his head and locked eyes with Kenny, speaking with sudden intensity.

“So, you deliberately planted people around me, waiting for an opportunity to kill me and gain control of Carlson Group?”

Kenny was taken aback. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

The fleeting panic in his eyes didn’t escape Harriet’s eyes.

Delbert looked down on him condescendingly. “I have eliminated your pawns, and you are left to fend for yourself.”

In truth, it was Milton who desired to get rid of Kenny.

Unaware, Kenny lashed out, “Don’t forget that your existence is a disgrace to our family. Your parents will forever be ashamed, and you should be despised just like them. What makes you think you can flaunt your power before me?”

Initially calm, Delbert’s expression twisted upon hearing Kenny's slanderous words about his parents. His hands clenched to the point that veins popped on the back of his fists.

Delbert locked his gaze onto Kenny.

“| have already experienced the scorn of everyone firsthand. But nomy, you on What you have now, | Give you || 1900 everything. Your fate will be far more miserable than when | first returned home.”

Kenny sneered. “Oh, I’d love to see you try to fight against me. Even if Grandpa hands over the Carlson Group to you, you won't be able to handle it.”

Kenny was successfully provoked by Delbert’s words.

“Then let’s wait and see!” Delbert’s lips curved as he observed the resentment burning in Kenny's eyes.

As Kenny caught a glimpse of that mocking smile, he yearned to tear Delbert’s face apart and squeeze it with all his might.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he chuckled. “I heard your mother hasn’t been feeling well lately. What do you think would happen if | were to tell her that her son married a fool without informing her?”

Delbert’s fingers tightened, a crack forming on his icy facade.

His bone-chilling aura permeated the air.

Kenny’s words had struck a nerve deep within Delbert.

His blood ran cold, but he maintained his smile.

“Is that so? But what can you do about it? You can’t return to Kef as I've already informed Grandpa that I’ll keep you here in the Carlso Group as my deputy.”

“Dream on! Grandpa won't agree!” Kenny spat.

How could a proud person like Kenny stoop to being Delbert’s subordinate, obeying his command?

Delbert’s smile grew faint. “Have you forgotten that | am now the president of Carlson Group? Even Grandpa has to listen to me.

Kenny felt as if something were strangling his heart, rendering him breathless.

He glared at Delbert and approached, poised to strike.

Suddenly, a petite figure stepped forward to protect Delbert and confront Kenny.
