Chapter 13 Milton
As the voice fell, Milton stepped forward imposingly.
His stern look made Bessie’s and Nora’s skin crawl. They didn’t dare move a bit.
Seeing Milton up close, Harriet felt a tingling sensation in her nose.
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.

“Harriet is my granddaughter-in-law. I don’t allow anyone to bully her. Apologize to her immediately,”
Milton snapped, striking the floor with his cane.
When he had decided to make Delbert president of the Carlson Group, he had planned to have Nora, a
renowned beauty and medical genius, marry and assist Delbert.
However, early this morning, Delbert suddenly told him that he had slept with Harriet last night under
the effects of drugs.
The Carlson family was a decent one, and Milton agreed to his decision to marry Harriet.
Even though Harriet had the intelligence of a six-year-old, so what?
Milton would not allow anyone to bully her.
Today, he not only wanted to protect Harriet but also to establish Delbert’s authority.
The Munoz family would be set as an example to warn others.
Harriet saw through Milton’s intention to protect her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she managed to
hold them back.
She would remember Milton’s kindness to her.
Unwilling to swallow her pride, Nora blurted out, “Why should I apologize to a fool?”
“How dare you?”
Milton exerted more force on his cane, and his wrinkled face turned frosty.

“Mr. Carlson Sr, it’s all my fault. I failed to discipline my daughter. I’ll make her apologize to Harriet!”
He was afraid of Milton’s anger, which could lead to the overnight destruction of his family.

With that said, he slapped Nora across the face.
Compared to interests, a daughter was not important.
“Dad!”
Nora covered her throbbing cheek and looked at him with tears in her
eyes.
Her father had never even scolded her before.
