Classic Novel
Chapter 109
“Colleen, you know well how | operate, don’t you?” Delbert’s tone was calm, but his demeanor was icy. Colleen was familiar with rumors about Delbert’s methods. He was
ruthless and temperamental.
She vividly recalled the day when a maid spilled tea on Delbert. He’d casually instructed Cory to take her to the mountains to feed the dog.
The memory of the maid’s cries made Colleen shiver. She was frightened by Delbert’s words and his chilling gaze, collapsing onto the ground.
“Opal, can you help me? Can you talk to Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet for me?” Colleen thought of Opal, hoping for her assistance.
Opal was a prominent figure by Harriet’s side, and her words held weight.. But she refused, saying, “Miss Harriet has given you numerous chances, but you didn’t cherish them.”
Now that Delbert had publicly announced his intention to punish Colleen, no one dared to speak up for her. Caution prevailed, and no one wanted to ignite a situation that could harm them.
Colleen knew she had done wrong, but the prospect of paying back ten times the penalty felt like a death sentence to her. Now there was only one person who could save her from Delbert’s wrath.
She quickly took out her phone and called Milton, trembling.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Mr. Carlson Sr., please save me!”
As soon as the call connected, Milton heard Colleen’s tearful plea.
“Colleen, calm down and tell me what happened,” Milton said.
Colleen sobbed and said, “Mr. Delbert wants to dismiss me and sue me, asking me to compensate ten times for the breach of contract. Mr. Carlson Sr., please, for the sake of the years | have worked hard to serve you, can you ask Mr. Delbert to let me go?”
He knew that Delbert was not the violent person he was rumored to be, and he wouldn't punish Colleen so harshly without a reason. Colleen must have made a serious mistake.
So, Milton said, “Colleen, hand the phone to Delbert. I'll speak to him.” Colleen felt a sense of relief and pride, handing the phone to Delbert. Even if Delbert had inherited the Carlson Group, she had Milton on her side.
“Sir, Mr. Carlson Sr. wants to speak with you,” Colleen said, her tone, contemptuous.
Delbert took the phone, and before Milton could say anything, he said, “Grandpa, Colleen has deceived us and disrespected Harriet. This punishment is what she deserves!”
His eyes were cold, and his tone was authoritative.
“What? Colleen bullied my granddaughter-in-law?” Milton turned livid. He knew very well what kind of person Colleen was.
He had been willing to overlook her previous arrogant actions, but now she had even bullied his granddaughter-in-law. How could he tolerate this?
Hearing the anger in his grandfather’s voice, Delbert pressed a button

“Banish her! Never let her return to Meawood City!” Milton declared authoritatively before hanging up the phone.
