    “When I’m not at home, you shouldn’t try to escape or meet any n outside,” Delbert said.


    Suddenly remembering something, he bent down and narrowed eyes. “I''ll be back in three days.”


    Then his warm lips pressed against hers. Harriet closed her eyes, letting him give her a goodbye kiss.


    “Okay! I''ll wait for you at home,” she said, nodding obediently.


    Her smile was innocent and harmless.


    Satisfied with her behavior, Delbert licked his lips, grabbed his co


    from the sofa, and left.


    A few hourster, Delbert arrived in Imperium.


    It was nighttime, and the city was brightly lit.

    someone, apanied by the crying of a woman.


    He knew what was happening inside.


    With mixed feelings, he pushed open the door and walked in.


    Sure enough, he saw Vicky sitting on the sofa, ring at the housekeeper, Tara, who was kneeling on the floor.


    Tara was crying pitifully.


    Tara was an orphan whom Delbert rescued when he was young. He . sympathized with her and kept her in Imperium to take


    care of Vicky.


    However, this decision caused Tara a lot of suffering because of Vicky’s illness. She was often subjected to beatings and


    scoldings.


    Now, seeing Tara cry so sadly, Vicky showed no mercy and pointed at


    her nose.


    “You''re so useless! You can’t even handle such a small matter, and you broke my favorite vase!” Vicky cursed.


    Tears streamed down Tara’s face.


    “Madam, I’m sorry. | wanted to clean up for you and identally broke the vase. Please forgive me!” she said, trying to pick up


    the shattered pieces from the ground.


    However, in a moment of carelessness, one of her fingers was cut a sharp shard, and blood spattered on the porcin.


    Instead of feeling sorry for her, Vicky continued to curse. “This vase an antique. Even if | were to sell you, you could not afford to


    compensate. Go outside and kneel for a day and a night.”


    The harsh punishment caused Tara to cry even more bitterly.


    “Enough!” Delbert intertwined.


    Tara smirked, her eyes flickering.


    She had been putting on a show to gain Delbert’s sympathy. She fell in love with him the moment he saved her.
