Chapter 111
Delbert cast a cold glance at the servant who had come to report. Displeasure was evident in his eyes. The servant felt weak and almost collapsed onto the ground.
“Sir, she arrived in Mr. Welch’s car!” he stammered.
The security guards and servants on the island were familiar with the cars and people. Except for the Carlson and Munoz families, as well as a few individuals known to Delbert, no one else was allowed to
pass. Lula drove in Marc’s car that day, which allowed her to slip through.
Given the servant’s respectful address and demeanor toward Delbert, Lula quickly realized that the handsome man before her was none other than Delbert, the rumored disfigured and vicious son of the Carlson family.

She had always been pampered by Marc, to the point where even Marc’s wife, Molly, had to yield to her. How could she bear such humiliation? Even though she knew deep down that her mother was capable of bullying Harriet, she refused to admit it.
“Mr. Delbert, there must be some misunderstanding here. Perhaps my mother was just joking with Miss Harriet,” Lula said, trying to defend her mother.
