Chapter 333
Harriet took out her phone and entered the office before looking down at the screen.
It was a text message from Delbert.
[I miss you. When you're done, let's have dinner together. I'll cpick you up.]
The simple yet affectionate message brightened Harriet’s mood a little.
They had only been separated for less than an hour, and Delbert already missed her.
She didn’t expect him to be so clingy, aside from his possessiveness.
Harriet tapped the screen of her phone and edited a reply.
[Sure! See you later!]

Harriet had just put down her phone when an executive deliberate tried to cause her trouble..
“Mrs. Carlson, the Munoz Group has always had strict discipline and does not allow employees to use their
phones during working hours. Violators will be punished severely. As the daughter of the former CEO, you must
be aware of this rule, right?” he said.
“Moreover, now that you are the new chairman, you should lead by example. What do you think you should do?”
Harriet looked over at the executive, and she said nothing.
If she answered that she didn’t accept punishment, then the others

present would make a fuss and call her a spoiled lady who meddled in the company’s affairs. This would not be
good for her and Delbert’s reputation.
She didn’t want to admit her fault and accept punishment either.
So, she silently gazed at the executive until he got cold feet.
Harriet knew that even if she didn’t respond, Blake would speak up for
her.
Sure enough, Blake quickly stepped in.
“What's the fuss?” he said, trying to smooth things over. “Harriet is still young, and she’s my niece and Delbert’s
wife. Even though she’s now the chairman, she’s just a young girl. She’s bound to make mistakes. How can you
punish her? You should apologize to her.”
The executive quickly apologized to Harriet. “Mrs. Carlson, I'm sorry. You've just joined the company, and there
are many rules you don’t understand yet. It’s normal.”
Harriet furrowed her brows.

Blake was defending her on the surface, while implicitly, he was smearing her reputation.
He could easily explain the situation. Yet he chose to bring up her relationship with Delbert and insinuate that
she got the job throu nepotism.
At the stime, he was doubting her ability.
Harriet knew that her sudden arrival had made Blake unable to fully control the company, so he had to push her
down.
‘Did he forget the company was founded by my mother?’ She thought.
Blake was narrow-minded and short-sighted. How could the company survive under his control in the long run?

Even though she didn’t want to participate in the internal struggles of
the company, she couldn't let it collapse.
First, she had to deal with Blake.
