Chapter 108 “Sorry, Colleen, | accidentally missed the shot. You won’t blame me, will you?” She raised the kitchen knife again toward everyone.
“| seem to hear someone badmouthing me just now. Coincidentally, | just learned a new dish from Opal called Pig Tongue Salad. And | happen to be lacking tongues at the moment. Are you all here to deliver them to me?”
Harriet tilted her head and gave an innocent smile.
Her knife was still stained with chicken blood, dripping down along the sharp blade. And her lips were as crimson as blood. The scene sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.
“Madam, | was wrong. | shouldn’t have mocked you!” said a middle- aged maid standing beside Colleen.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
She had been scared out of her wits.
“Cory, look, they have admitted that they mocked me just now. should | punish them?” Harriet tilted her little head, innocently as Cory, who had been watching from a distance.
Cory’s gaze shifted subtly. He was taken aback to find that the aural released by her was almost as formidable as Delbert’s. One of them was intimidating, and the other was devious.
“You decide.”
How could he make decisions in the villa? Harriet was the one in cicharge, and he was just a worker.
“Harriet, how dare you run away?”
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the second-floor bedroom.
The voice was fierce and threatening, cutting through the air like a sharp blade.
This was followed by a series of crashing sounds, as if objects were being hurled and shattered.
In her previous life, Harriet had witnessed such behavior from Delbert. It occurred when Delbert took her to a party. She had disregarded his and others’ peculiar stares and openly displayed affection toward
Vernon. Upon returning home that night, Delbert had gone into a frenzy, smashing things and wreaking havoc in the house. It was only after marrying him that Harriet discovered Delbert suffered from severe bipolar disorder.
Previously, he had been able to control his emotions, but ever since Harriet arrived on the island and persistently defied him, even using Vernon to provoke him, his episodes had become more frequent
Harriet felt a pang of guilt. However, after being reborn, she had been extremely cautious. So why was Delbert having an episode now?
With the lady of the house asserting her authority and Delbert in a rage, the servants were trembling with fear, too scared to move.
As soon as Harriet heard the commotion upstairs, she surmised that Delbert’s bipolar disorder was acting up. She left the kitchen duties to Opal and hurried upstairs.
Upon opening the bedroom door, she found the room, which had been
strewn everywhere.
And amidst the ruins sat the culprit, head bowed, looking like a forsaken child.
“Cory, go find Harriet and bring her back to me. Even if you have to search the entire Meawood City, you must bring her back.” Delbert’s voice was as cold as Arctic frost, but his eyes were filled with loneliness and despair.
Harriet had abandoned him in the end.
This side of Delbert was something Harriet had never seen in her previous life. In an instant, he had lost all his vibrancy and color, leaving Harriet heartbroken.
She quickly navigated through the wreckage and returned to his side, bending down to hug him from behind. Delbert stiffened, and a flicker of disbelief and surprise flashed in his
eyes.
