Chapter 61

Chapter 61 A Storm Brewing The morning sun illuminated the surroundings, casting a bright glow on the door of the Munoz family’s villa.

“Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, please come in.”

Clifton knew about their visit today, yet he only sent the old housekeeper to welcome them.

Hiding in his room, he hoped to avoid any unpleasant confrontations regarding Bessie and Nora’s actions against Harriet.

Led by the old housekeeper, Harriet and Delbert made their way toward the house.

Before they could reach the hall, the sound of servants chatting in the courtyard caught their attention.

The topic of discussion revolved around Harriet and Delbert.

“| heard that Miss Harriet and Mr. Delbert are paying a visit today.”

“Miss Harriet, that fool? What difference does it make if Mr. Delber now the president of Carlson Group? He’s impotent and violent, a Harriet will live like a widow.”

“You don’t say. | heard that Mr. Delbert is old and ugly. A fool and an ugly man are a match made in heaven!”

They burst into mocking laughter. Terrified to hear it, the old housekeeper sweated profusely.

The people they were talking about had heard everything.

Harriet maintained her signature foolish smile, her lips curving with At the engagement party, the reporters didn’t dare to release Delbert’s photo, so many people still believed the rumors that Delbert was old, ugly, and ill-tempered.

Little did they know that he was one of the most handsome men in Meawood City. He was gentle, showering her with affection.

These gossiping women had no idea about the truth.

But they were not worthy of talking about her man.

Harriet furrowed her eyebrows, while Delbert remained calm.

Yet this calmness was merely the calm before the storm.

He had grown accustomed to being the subject of rumors, but these people were bold enough to slander Harriet.

Just as Delbert was about to signal Cory to deal with the gossiping servants, Harriet took matters into her own hands.

Swiftly, she approached and raised her hand to deliver resounding slaps.

The crisp sounds echoed through the vast yard, causing all the servants to freeze in their tracks and look over.

The two maids, who had been engaged in animated conversation, were startled. Their smiles froze on their faces as they let out uncontrollable screams.

“Who dares to hit me? Don’t you know | am Mrs. Munoz’s confidant?” One of the maids exclaimed, her face contorted with anger.

“M-Miss Harriet?”

The maid quickly reacted, but she assumed Harriet was still the same doormat from before.

And she didn’t catch sight of the rumored ugly Delbert. Only two handsome men were accompanying Harriet. This led her to believe she could argue with Harriet without consequence.

“Miss Harriet, you can’t just go around hitting people,” she said.

“Yeah! Even if you are a lady, you shouldn’t bully us servants!” the other maid chimed in, adopting a righteous tone, as if they had been wrongly accused.
