Chapter 177


    Despite the Morton Group’s outward harmony, there was a hidden turmoil and power struggle behind the scenes. Each director


    harbored their own ulterior motives, hoping for a change in the leadership.


    L, born into an ordinary family, had a single ambition: to ascend the socialdder through a man. With her innocent and kind


    facade, coupled with her ability to act cute and clingy, she managed to soften Marc’s heart and be cherished.


    However, their rtionship could only remain like that. She could never win Marc’s heart, and he had never touched her.


    Fortunately, after spending many years by Marc’s side, she got to know numerous executives and gradually expanded her


    network.


    Upon learning about the situation within the Morton Group, she made a decisive move to buy back their shares, intending to

    and be his partner.


    “What should | do now?” Vernon asked, convinced by how well thought out L’s n was.


    He had a feeling that this time he might truly be able to return to the Morton family, overthrow the annoying Brad, and be


    the


    president of the Morton Group.


    “Don''t worry, | have my people inside the Morton Group. Once we receive confirmation of the sess of their tasks, all you need


    to do is make a morous appearance at the Morton Group. Then Brad''s position will be yours,” L said with a smile, holding


    Vernon''s hand.


    She felt that Vernon was easier to control than Marc.

    Because Marc, like Delbert, was intelligent and would never easily


    trust anyone.


    Even though she had been by his side for many years, she had never truly entered his heart.


    No matter how much he doted on her, there was always a thin barrier between them.


    “Why are you helping me like this?” Vernon asked, staring into L’s


    eyes.


    “Didn''t | already say it? We are the same kind of people, destined to be partners. | help you rise to power, and you help me


    get rid of Molly and be Mrs. Welch. By then, | will share half of the Welch family’s wealth with you,” L smiled.


    She was smarter than Nora. After failing once, she understood that she couldn’t control men like Delbert, so she simply gave up.


    But when it came to Marc, she felt confident. So, she wanted to use Vernon to achieve her goal.


    Even if the n failed, with Vernon’s easy-to-manipte nature, he would still be easily seduced by her.


    So, no matter what choice she made, she wouldn’t lose.


    Rather than saying she and Nora were phony women, it would be more urate to say that Vernon was the true fool who could


    be easily sweet-talked.


    Just a few simple words from her touched Vernon.


    He felt like he had finally found a confidant.


    L and he were the same kind of people, both wanting to be


    an existence that couldn’t be ignored.


    He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, “If you can help me gain control of the Morton family and the Morton Group, |


    will do whatever you ask of me.”


    The next day, Harriet slowly opened her eyes and immediately felt a wave of pain throughout her body.


    Memories of her intimate encounter with Delbert in the bathtub the previous night suddenly flooded back, causing her face to


    flush.


    She had surprisingly agreed to Delbert’s audacious request.


    Slowly, Harriet lifted her gaze to the handsome face before her. Delbert was still deep in slumber, his body exuding a refreshing


    mint. scent. His long, thick eyshes cast a faint shadow beneath his closed eyes.


    The recollection ofst night’s events made her face turn an even deeper shade of red.


    She attempted to extricate herself from his embrace, intending to wash away the remnants of their encounter.
