Chapter 34 The Kitchen Confrontation
Despite his seething anger, Delbert refused to unleash harsh words on her. Instead, he bottled up his fury and sought solace in a solitary drinking session. Eventually, he imbibed to the point of developing stomach ulcers.
In this new life, Harriet made a vow to safeguard his stomach.
She would start by making breakfast for him.
As Harriet approached the kitchen, Colleen intercepted her.
“Miss Harriet, you can’t enter!”
Surrounded by servants, Colleen put her nose in the air, as if she were the owner of this villa. Annoyed, she puffed out her cheeks. “Why?”
“Miss Harriet, you must understand that Mr. Delbert is now the president of Carlson Group. If someone with ill intentions were to poison him, we servants would bear the blame.
“So, even you, Miss Harriet, can’t enter the kitchen.”
“That’s right. The kitchen is such an important place. How can anyone just waltz in?” The servants echoed her words, looking at Harriet with disdain.
Accustomed to flaunting their authority under Colleen’s leadership, they lacked respect for Harriet, a foolish lady. Undeterred, Harriet glanced at the surveillance camera and blinked innocently.
“| just want to make food for Delbert. He didn’t eat breakfast. He must be hungry.”
“Colleen, Miss Harriet only intends to cook for Mr. Delbert. Please accommodate her,” chimed in the maid who had been kind to Harriet
earlier.
She couldn't bear to see so many people bully Harriet.
Enraged by her interference, Colleen lashed out, striking her across the face. “Who are you to interfere in my business?” The maid covered her cheek, on the verge of tears.
“Get her out of the villa!” Colleen barked, waving her hand.
This maid had disobeyed her orders and revealed Delbert’s whereabouts to Harriet, and now she spoke up for Harriet, which irritated Colleen.
“| dare you!”
Harriet pulled a long face and shielded the maid defiantly.
Colleen and the others were stunned by her aura.
Harriet scrunched up her face. “My dad told me | would marry Delbert.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
If the servants don’t listen to me, | can whack them.”
With that, she slapped Colleen, the resounding impact marking
Colleen’s cheek with a fiery sting.
Colleen was astonished by her sudden action.
“Fool, | will tear off your face!”
Colleen came to her senses, her face contorted with anger.
Swinging her arm, she lunged at Harriet.
Harriet sneered and brandished a gleaming silver needle, deftly embedding it into Colleen’s leg.
Succumbing to the sudden pain, Colleen collapsed to her knees, her head meeting the ground with a resounding thud.
