“| think I’ve found your treasure.”

Narrowing his eyes, Delbert clamped down on Harriet’s wrist and reached into her sleeve to pull out a silver needle. The needle held between his fingers glimmered dangerously.

Harriet’s eyes widened for a moment, but she soon regained her composure and continued to look at him innocently. “It turns out to be a needle. Are you trying to murder me, or do you have other plans?”

Delbert smiled, but his voice was hoarse and chilling.

Harriet remained unruffled.

She had anticipated that Delbert would find her silver needle.

At the engagement party earlier, his words in the backstage lounge showed that he had begun to suspect her intelligence. But for now, Harriet couldn’t reveal the fact that she was pretend

to be foolish.

She dared not bet on whether Delbert would reserve a place for her in his heart after learning that she had regained her intelligence.

And she already had a plan to deal with this situation.

As Delbert waited for her answer, Harriet suddenly blinked and innocently asked, “Delbert, do you like needles too?” Delbert squinted at her, not understanding what kind of trick she was trying to play.

Did she try to continue playing dumb?

Delbert became serious. He would like to see how Harriet would

explain.

“If you like it, | will find more for you. Then we can play together. Give me a minute and wait here.”

Harriet gently pushed him away, got off the bed, and ran out.

Delbert wondered if she was trying to run away.

Fortunately, Harriet came back not long after. From behind her back, she took out a doll covered with needles and presented it to him with

a cheerful smile.

“Look, isn’t my treasure beautiful? There are many needles on it. Let's play together.”

The moment Delbert saw the doll, the color drained from his face, and he blurted out in fear, “Throw it away

“What's wrong? Don’t you like my treasure?” Harriet said sadly, wrinkling her nose.

She could hear the tremor in Delbert’s voice and see the

face.

But this shouldn't be happening now

This doll was made in her previous life. Nora and Vernon hadn happy after they learned about Delbert’s rise to power.

So, they made this doll, attached Delbert’s fate characters to it, covered it with needles, and gave it to Harriet, asking her to present to Delbert as a gift.

She thought that Delbert would be delighted by the gift and then agree

to divorce her.

However, Delbert was terrified by the doll and threw it away.

Adivorce was naturally out of the question.

Later, he locked her in the villa, which further convinced her that he was a bad person. It caused her to hate him to the core.

This indirectly led to her listening to Vernon, helping him steal Delbert’s confidential documents, and assisting him in killing Delbert.
