    Cory tried to reassure her. “Madam, please calm down!”


    “Delbert is in trouble. How can | calm down?” Harriet said in tears.


    This was the first time she had shown her vulnerability in front of an


    outsider.


    “| must go to Imperium. Let’s go now, or Delbert will really be in danger.


    “Let''s go and find him together!” Harriet said, trying to leave the ind.


    She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert as soon as possible.


    But Cory held her wrist, not allowing her to take a step away.

    “How can | rest assured? Delbert has gone missing. Cory, please let me go to Imperium. I’m so worried about him!” Harriet

    He would be fine.


    Perhaps this whole thing was just a trap he set up.


    “Cory, you really disappoint me!” Harriet said. “Fine! Since you refuse to take me to find Delbert, I''ll go by myself!”


    She irritably turned around and was about to go downstairs.


    Cory couldn''t just let her go out and encounter danger. He quickly walked over and struck her neck with his hand.


    Harriet felt a pain in the back of her neck and then passed out.


    Harriet had a dream in which Delbert was in trouble.


    He stood in front of her, covered in blood. “Harriet, even if I’m not here, you must live well!”


    But without him by her side, she couldn''t live well at all.
