Chapter 168


    The well-tailored aqua blue evening gown perfectly entuated Harriet’s curves, and the diamond-studded hem of the skirt


    shone brightly,plementing the fair and slender legs beneath the skirt.


    “You look gorgeous today,” Delbert smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness.


    Harriet pouted, “So, does it mean that | wasn’t beautiful before?”


    Delbert ruffled her hair, his expression even tenderer, “Of course not. You''re beautiful every day.”


    “That’s more like it!” Harriet tilted her chin proudly, like an unparalleled


    queen.


    “Cory has been waiting outside for a long time. Let’s go!” Delbert slightly shook his head with a smile and took Harriet’s hand as


    they left the mansion.


    On the beach outside the mansion, Cory was standing respectfully in front of Delbert’s luxury car, while Opal was helping to load


    the luggage into the trunk.


    After Harriet and Delbert got into the car, Cory started the engine, and the car slowly left the ind.


    In a while, they arrived at the Carlson family’s old mansion.


    This was Harriet’s second visit here.


    After parking the car on thergewn, Cory got out and opened the door to let them out.

    In the living hall, because of the Mr. Carlson Sr.’s 80th birthday, it was decorated with a touch of warmth and less grandeur.


    As soon as they entered, Monica came out to wee Delbert.


    Today she was wearing a fiery red evening gown, exuding an air of pride and arrogance like a fiery princess.


    “Hi, Delbert, you''re finally here. Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time,” she said sweetly to Delbert but didn’t even


    look at Harriet beside him.


    She refused to acknowledge this silly sister-inw.


    After giving her a nod, Delbert continued to hold Harriet’s hand tightly as they walked into the living room. Hepletely ignored


    Monica.


    Monica was furious and locked eyes with Harriet. Neither of them was willing to yield.


    The atmosphere became tense in an instant.


    In the living room, Mr. Carlson Sr. sat on a handmade armchair, waiting for them.


    Although it had been a long time since they had seen each other, he was still in good spirits.


    His eyes were full of wisdom and vitality, and his majestic presence almost overshadowed everyone present.


    Mr. Carlson Sr. grinned as he watched Delbert and Harriete in.

    “Come here, Harriet! Let me have a look at you. How have you been living with Delbert on the ind?”


    Harriet quickly took hold of his hand and smiled foolishly. “We lived happily on the ind!”


    Mr. Carlson Sr. Was more displeased, “That’s good! d to know!”


    While there wasughter and joy here, Delbert had no expression on his face as he asked Mr. Carlson Sr., “Grandpa, it’s your


    80th birthday today. Why is Kenny absent?”
