Chapter 13 Milton

Except for Delbert, Milton treated her the best.

Although he hadn’t liked her at first because she had the intelligence of a six-year-old, after she married into the Carlson family, he had treated her like his granddaughter.

But she had been blinded by Nora and Vernon, helping them steal Delbert’s business document. It had caused the collapse of the Carlson Group that Milton had built, and Delbert had nearly ended up in jail.

After doing such a thing, she had wanted to elope with Vernon, which. had angered Milton so much that he spat blood and fell into a coma. A few days later, he passed away in the hospital.

Looking back, Harriet felt unbearable pain and deep regret.

mistakes again.
