Chapter 72 Shut up Only after a long while did Nora regain her voice and speak stiffly. But before she could finish, Delbert interrupted her, “Shut up! How dare you address her as a fool?”
His demeanor felt like a fierce ruler’s, oppressive and terrifying. Nora shivered and subconsciously began apologizing, “Sorry, sorry!”
“| don’t want to repeat it. If | don’t see the news report about you tomorrow, the entire Munoz family will suffer with you!” Delbert was now the king of Meawood City. No one dared to
contradict his orders.
Therefore, after he gave her a simple glance, Nora didn’t dare to refute anymore.
“Mr. Delbert, don’t worry. I'll make sure she apologizes!” Clifton
promised Delbert, smiling flatteringly.
All the people in their seats felt nauseated by what he said.
Certainly, Delbert would ignore him. He just watched Harriet soulfully, clearly hinting to her, “My darling, I’m backing you up now. Are you

So she executed her plan ahead of time. She deliberately splashed the oil stains on her spoon onto Harriet’s clothes and said with faked fright, “Sorry, Harriet, | accidentally smeared your clothes. | suggest you go to the bathroom to clean the stains.”
“Nora, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Harriet, who didn’t bother to continue playing the show with Nora, raised her head and asked intentionally.
Nora froze but then smiled a little awkwardly, “Harriet, you’re wrong. That was truly an accident.”
“Do you think | will believe that? Oh, Nora, you're a big fool!” Harriet stuck out her tongue and made a face. Then she turned her head and said to Delbert, “Delbert, I'm going to the bathroom. Don’t worry about me!” After that, she rose and left.
Setting aside the resentment in her eyes, Nora seized the opportunity and subtly signaled to Vernon, who had remained quiet at the dining table.
Vernon was about to get up and follow Harriet when Delbert wal over to catch up.
“I'll go with you!” he said quite softly.
The two of them went to the bathroom together, leaving Nora and Vernon seething in anger. Then they reached the bathroom.
“Delbert, stay here to wait for me. I'll be back right away!” Harriet said
to Delbert with a smile, turning and walking inside.
But Delbert followed her in and closed the door behind him.

She heard the door lock with a click and felt a gaze behind her, so
intense that it seemed to pierce through her.
But she kept playing the fool and turned around.
“Delbert, why did you come in with me?” she asked.
Delbert’s eyes were burning, making Harriet feel so shy.
She was contemplating whether she should act flirtatiously to discern Delbert’s thoughts.
The next second, with a gust of wind by her ear, she felt a strong and powerful arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Delbert easily pressed her against the wall of the bathroom! He was panting, his hot breath brushing against her ear!
