Chapter 10 Boss
Nora always strutted around town like she owned the place, taking pride in her title as the top beauty and a medical genius. Even the noble sons of prominent families had to show her respect.
“Nora, be nice to him. That’s what good girls do.”
Nora’s demand for an apology enraged Harriet.
She immediately stepped forward to shield Delbert.
Her face was filled with determination to protect her man, and Delbert was amused. His keen eyes noticed something glinting in Harriet’s palm.
It was her silver needle.
Harriet knew very well that, according to the trajectory of her previous life, Delbert had not yet become president of the Carlson Group. He should still be an insignificant son. If he offended Nora, his family would only laugh at him instead of supporting him.
Harriet couldn’t bear to let him experience that kind of h again. She decided to protect him by silencing Nora with needle. Delbert silently stepped forward and confronted Nora head-on.

His tone was indifferent.

Her rudeness got on Delbert’s nerves, but he nonetheless nodded in response.
“You're president of the Carlson Group? What a joke! Did everyone hear that? You're talking through your hat.” Nora laughed out loud, as she knew about the Carlson family better than anyone else.
If it weren’t for Vernon promising to help her obtain the fortune left by Harriet’s mother, she would have planned to marry the president of the Carlson Group.
Milton had three sons, and each of his sons gave him a grandson. His eldest grandson, Delbert, was unattractive and unfavored by the Carlson family. His youngest grandson was studying abroad, and only his second grandson, Kenny Carlson, was promising to become the hheir.
KKenny would be the one to take over the Carlson Group.
Nora had seen him once, and he looked nothing like the man in front oof her.
How could he have the nerve to say that?
Itwas simply nonsense.
Noosa couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and the surrounding jomced inprnocking Delbert for not knowing his place. Thedauughter of these people irritated Harriet.
She swiftyy buried the silver needle toward Nora’s neck. Except fo Delbent,inomone at the scene noticed.

“There’s someone here pretending to be president of the Carlson Group. Shouldn't you kick him out?” The security guards always bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Not daring to defy Nora, they came up menacingly, ready to drag. Delbert away.
But when their eyes set on Delbert’s face, they froze on the spot.
“Mr. Delbert... Boss, we’re sorry for the disturbance.”
Mr. Delbert?
Delbert Carlson?
