Despite the Morton Group’s outward harmony, there was a hidden turmoil and power struggle behind the scenes. Each director harbored their own ulterior motives, hoping for a change in the leadership.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Lula, born into an ordinary family, had a single ambition: to ascend the social ladder through a man. With her innocent and kind facade, coupled with her ability to act cute and clingy, she managed to soften Marc’s heart and be cherished.

However, their relationship could only remain like that. She could never win Marc’s heart, and he had never touched her.

Fortunately, after spending many years by Marc’s side, she got to know numerous executives and gradually expanded her network.

Upon learning about the situation within the Morton Group, she made a decisive move to buy back their shares, intending to support Vernon.

and become his partner. “What should | do now?” Vernon asked, convinced by how well thought out Lula’s plan was.

He had a feeling that this time he might truly be able to return to the Morton family, overthrow the annoying Brad, and become the

president of the Morton Group.

“Don't worry, | have my people inside the Morton Group. Once we receive confirmation of the success of their tasks, all you need to do is make a glamorous appearance at the Morton Group. Then Brad's position will be yours,” Lula said with a smile, holding Vernon's hand.

She felt that Vernon was easier to control than Marc.

Because Marc, like Delbert, was intelligent and would never easily

trust anyone.

Even though she had been by his side for many years, she had never truly entered his heart. No matter how much he doted on her, there was always a thin barrier between them.

“Why are you helping me like this?” Vernon asked, staring into Lula’s

eyes.

“Didn't | already say it? We are the same kind of people, destined to become partners. | help you rise to power, and you help me get rid of Molly and become Mrs. Welch. By then, | will share half of the Welch family’s wealth with you,” Lula smiled.

She was smarter than Nora. After failing once, she understood that she couldn’t control men like Delbert, so she simply gave up. But when it came to Marc, she felt confident. So, she wanted to use Vernon to achieve her goal.

Even if the plan failed, with Vernon’s easy-to-manipulate nature, he would still be easily seduced by her.

So, no matter what choice she made, she wouldn’t lose.

Rather than saying she and Nora were phony women, it would be more accurate to say that Vernon was the true fool who could be easily sweet-talked.

Just a few simple words from her touched Vernon.

He felt like he had finally found a confidant.

Lula and he were the same kind of people, both wanting to become

an existence that couldn’t be ignored.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, “If you can help me gain control of the Morton family and the Morton Group, | will do whatever you ask of me.”

The next day, Harriet slowly opened her eyes and immediately felt a wave of pain throughout her body.

Memories of her intimate encounter with Delbert in the bathtub the previous night suddenly flooded back, causing her face to flush.

She had surprisingly agreed to Delbert’s audacious request.

Slowly, Harriet lifted her gaze to the handsome face before her. Delbert was still deep in slumber, his body exuding a refreshing mint. scent. His long, thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow beneath his closed eyes.

The recollection of last night’s events made her face turn an even deeper shade of red. She attempted to extricate herself from his embrace, intending to wash away the remnants of their encounter.
