The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 118
Chapter 118Cory finally managed to control the raging fire in the kitchen, but as soon as he emerged, he saw that the living room was ablaze.He was dumbfounded, wondering if Harriet was the incarnation of Hephaestus.Wherever she went, fire would break out.The fire grew larger, and the situation was spiraling out of control. Even Cory couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he led everyone to retreat to the villa's entrance and wait for the firefighters to arrive and rescue them.After a short while, the fire truck arrived on the island, and the firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.Then they began to admonish and educate those involved. "You need to be careful when using fire. Make sure all valves are closed properly. It's so dangerous. If we hadn't arrived in time, this house would have been gone."Harriet lowered her head, continuously admitting her mistake.The servants were also relieved.They had been working on the island for many years and had never encount

Chapter 119As noon approached, the sound of shattering dishes reverberated through the Welch family's villa."Marc..." murmured a woman pitifully.Before Molly could finish, Marc flung her onto the dining table, his scent laced with alcohol.Molly winced as her back hit the marble table, a stifled grunt escaping her lips. But Marc showed no mercy.His forceful hold on her was accompanied by a murmur of Lula's name.His voice was so intimate, but Molly's heart sank to the bottom.It had been just over a month since they got married, but whether it was day or night, Marc would either be drunk or angry whenever he faced her.All along, the only woman in his heart was Lula.From the start, he didn't want to marry Molly."Marc, open your eyes. I'm Molly, not Lula!" Molly suddenly lifted her head and stared down at Marc.She couldn't take it anymore, having received enough disappointment.Marc pushed her away, disgust written all over his face."You're not worthy of mentioning

Chapter 120"Divorce?" Marc's hand trembled as he lit a cigarette, and his face contorted in disgust.As he saw it, divorce was merely a bargaining chip that Molly used to threaten him."If you want a divorce, so be it. Since you brought it up, I won't explain anything to your parents. But you should go and talk to my parents. I hope you leave my family as soon as possible," he said, stubbing out his cigarette.He stormed out, slamming the door behind him.Tears finally streamed down Molly's cheeks.Marc's parents had treated her like their own daughter, which was the only solace she had after marrying Marc.They had always hoped for her to have a child with Marc, but now it seemed that she was going to let them down.Marc's irritation hadn't subsided after he left the house.He found it ridiculous that Molly proposed a divorce to him.'Who gives her the right? Does she think she could get married and divorced as she pleased?' He thought.While he was still feeling annoyed,

Chapter 121Marc knew that Harriet was important to Delbert, but he didn't expect her to be this important.The pain in his foot made him wince. "Your fiancée bullied me first!""Harriet is usually so gentle and timid. How can she bully you?" Delbert smiled, clearly taking sides with Harriet."Alright! You guys win!" Marc admitted defeat."Forget it, Miss Harriet," Molly mediated.Only then did Harriet calm down, glaring threateningly at Marc. "You see, Delbert is on my side."If it wasn't for Molly intervening, she would have stepped on Marc again.After Harriet withdrew her foot, Marc stumbled back a few steps.Delbert had been smiling at Harriet the whole time. Tenderness and indulgence were evident on his face.Marc shook his head, feeling helpless.Molly noticed his displeasure and asked, despite the tension between them, "Are you alright?""Mind your own business!" Marc snorted.Molly pursed her lips and stopped caring about him. Instead, she turned to Harriet and De

Chapter 122Before leaving, he shot Harriet a sharp look, only to be met with Delbert's piercing gaze.In the kitchen, Molly heard the door opening and thought it was the housekeeper, Karen."Karen, come help me tie my apron," she said.But there was no response. Only a tall figure loomed behind her, exuding a daunting aura.A pair of big hands held her waist and fastened the strings of her apron.Molly tensed up as she recognized the owner of these hands.It was their first close contact since Nora's birthday party a month ago, and Marc was sober this time.Marc noticed Molly's weight loss, and her waist was so thin.In just a month, she had become bony, as if he had mistreated her."Why are you here?" Molly squirmed, turning around to face him.Marc pressed her against the wall, causing her pain and tears.His piercing gaze bore into her. "Molly, don't try any tricks in front of Delbert and Harriet!"His chilling words left Molly feeling frozen in the sunny kitchen.It

Chapter 123Worried, Harriet stood up. "Delbert, you stay here. I'll check on things."But Delbert tugged at her hand, pulling her back into his embrace. "Don't stir things up. We're guests, and we should just sit here."Neither Harriet nor he knew how to cook, so barging into the kitchen would only disrupt Marc and Molly."Delbert, don't you love me anymore?" Harriet pouted, feeling unjustly scolded.She curled up like a ball, looking forlorn."That's nonsense," Delbert said, unable to bear the sight of her distress.He held her in his arms and soothed her with a soft kiss. "Remember, no one else treats you as well as me," he said."Then why did you blame me for stirring up trouble?" Harriet huffed, puffing up her cheeks.Delbert was captivated by her cuteness."You're just despising me!" Harriet accused, hands on hips."How can guests make food in the host's house?" Delbert explained with a helpless smile."That's an excuse!" Harriet was not convinced."I don't want to

Chapter 124For some reason, Delbert's paranoia surged with the thought.It took him quite some time to suppress it and flash a mischievous grin at Harriet."Yeah! I'm indeed running a fever, a serious one," Delbert murmured, nibbing her earlobe."Harriet, you're my cure. Let me take you, alright?"Harriet blushed up to her ears.When Delbert sweet-talked, he was so smooth and composed."Stop teasing me," she said, feeling like she was going to lose control.Delbert said she was his cure, but she knew he was her antidote.In the kitchen, Marc hung up the phone and found Molly standing there, looking pale and fragile. Her eyes held undeniable sadness.His heart felt a pang, followed by a surge of anger.Molly's voice was cold and mocking, and her piercing gaze made him feel exposed."Go ahead and keep her company. I'll entertain Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet here," she said indifferently, leaving without a glance back.After she got out of the kitchen, a faint sneer crosse

Chapter 125Amid an awkward atmosphere, Lula picked up a bottle of vintage wine and poured herself a full glass."Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, I did something wrong in the morning. I want to apologize to you here," she said, swallowing her pride.When she looked at Delbert, she wore a smile on her face. But when it came to Harriet, her expression became subtle, holding a hint of resentment deep in her eyes.She didn't forget how she had ended up in the hospital earlier.The scar was still visible on her forehead, concealed by the foundation. It served as a constant reminder that she must return this grudge in full."What if I don't want to forgive you?" Harriet said, having no intention of forgiving.She didn't even pay Lula any attention.The atmosphere in the private room became even more tense."Delbert, do something about your woman," Marc said, trying to ease the tension.As the organizer of the gathering, he didn't want to see everyone fighting each other.Unfortunately,

Chapter 783Delbert spoke like a spoiled child, and Harriet couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Delbert was acting strangely.After holding her for a while, Delbert led her to walk outside."Let's go!" he said eagerly.It made Harriet feel even more puzzled.Before long, they arrived at a nearby amusement park.After getting out of the car, Harriet noticed that the scenery at the amusement park was beautiful."The Ferris wheels!" Delbert smiled, leading her toward the Ferris wheel.Delbert bought two tickets, and they got on the Ferris wheel hand in hand.Throughout the ride, Delbert held Harriet's hand tightly, while his other hand secretly took out an engagement ring from his suit pocket.Harriet saw it and finally realized what was going on.It was a surprise that Delbert had prepared for her.Delbert went down on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Ms. Harriet Munoz, would you be willing to marry me?"His eyes shone eagerly. He was even more nervous than when Harriet marr

Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? I remember everything!"Marc held her hand and listened quietly.His heart was in turmoil, but he didn't know what to say.Molly didn't want to recall those things, but today she had to bring them all up."I bumped into Lula scheming against you and was forced to sleep with you. Then I married you. But would Lula let me off so easily?"Marc could guess what had happened, and he said, "It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it. I'm different from before. You can trust me and depend on me."Molly forced a smile and said, "You don't know. Because of your misunderstanding and torment, Lula had people insult and slander me. Those things eventually led to my psychological trauma, causing my depression. Do you understand now?"Marc looked at her pale face and felt a sting of guilt.It was his fault.He held Molly in

Chapter 781Molly intended to drape the blanket over Marc, but Marc woke up."You're awake. How are you feeling?" Marc said with concern, his eyes bloodshot.Molly shook her head. "I'm alright. Sorry to wake you up.""Well, the doctor told me that you had taken many antidepressants," Marc said in distress.Molly turned pale, not expecting the doctor to reveal her depression.The disease had been haunting her and reminding her of the unpleasant past.Molly met Marc's gaze and faltered. Her hands clutched the blanket, as she didn't know how to broach the topic."You're my wife. I have the right to know the truth," Marc said seriously.They had been together for so long, but he didn't know about this matter until an outsider told him.Molly bit her lip and shook her head. Unable to hold back, she cried out, "I'm sorry, Marc. I really..."Marc stood up and took her into his arms. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed you. It's okay if you don

Chapter 780When Marc arrived at the hospital, the medical team was already waiting at the entrance.Marc quickly briefed them on Molly's condition. "My wife suddenly fainted. I'm not sure what's going on. Please help check on her." "Mr. Welch, please wait outside," the nurse said, intercepting him.Marc looked at the closed emergency room, and anxiety caused him to feel breathless.After a long time, the doctor came out, and Marc urgently asked, "How is she?""After a series of tests, we confirmed that Harriet has stomach cancer," the doctor said solemnly.Marc was struck dumb. Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine? Did you make a mistake in the examination?" Marc said, looking at the doctor incredulously.He had been with Molly for so long, but he hadn't heard of her stomach discomfort."I know the res

In the end, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.Excited about the news, Harriet led Delbert to see Miriam.Seeing her innocent look, Delbert wanted to embrace her and protect her forever.Miriam saw Harriet's happy face and asked, "What's going on? You look so happy.""I have some good news to tell you," Harriet replied.She let go of Delbert's hand and hugged Miriam. "Felipe and Sadie have been sentenced to eight years in prison. We won, and the Bass family is finally ours."Miriam took some time to overcome her shock. "Is it true?"She never thought they would win in the end.Harriet nodded vigorously, and Miriam confirmed the truth.She could finally return to the Bass family.She no longer cared about Fel

Delbert had to drink with them one after another.They wanted to test Delbert's endurance and love for Harriet.Delbert kept drinking until his face was flushed red.When the meal was over, Andy and the others went back to rest.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the living room.Harriet used the tissue to wipe Delbert's face.Her gaze was filled with tenderness.Enchanted, Delbert grabbed her hand and put it on his chest."Harriet, I missed you so much," he said.His breath, mixed with the fragrance of wine, sprayed on Harriet's face.Then Delbert bent down to kiss her.They cuddled together, their eyes locked in a collision of longing.They kept holding each other, and Harriet bravely met his gaze.Delbert picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sound of rain drowned out many sounds, but it couldn't extingui

Chapter 777Soon, Delbert received a mail containing the documents.He skimmed them through and found that everything was fine at the company. Ben was quite a good manager.Delbert was satisfied with his performance.But Ben remained nervous, even though he could tell Delbert's good mood."You've done very well!" Delbert praised.Relieved, Ben scratched his head and said, "Thank you, sir.""You've been with me for a long time. Do you think I should give you a raise?" Delbert said.In Ben's mind, his current salary and the benefits provided by the Carlson Group were quite good, but who would refuse more money?"Is it okay, sir?" he tentatively asked.Delbert fell silent. Ben shivered and quickly added, "No need. I think it's good enough.""No, you will get a raise," Delbert smiled, having learned to scare people from Harriet.Subconsciously, he had been affected by Harriet.Ben was overjoyed, wondering if it was Harriet's credit.In the evening, Harriet sent a message to D

Chapter 776Delbert handed Saide over to the police and left without hesitation.Sadie bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The police officers took her away for interrogation.Sadie couldn't accept the fact that Delbert had no feelings for her at all.In the interrogation room, she licked her wounds and refused to talk.Her heart was broken, and her face was covered with tears.Delbert couldn't wait to see Harriet.Harriet was working. To avoid disturbing her work, he decided to meet her at the family banquet in the evening."I'm working right now. Can you come over tonight?" Harriet said.She was eager to see Delbert, holding and smelling him."Oh, you don't want to see me?" Delbert teased her."How could that be? But I'm working. With you around, I can't focus, so you have to wait for a while," Harriet said while reviewing the documents.After Felipe's arrest, a lot of things at the company required her attention. She was up to her neck."I can help you," Delber

Chapter 775Felipe was on tenterhooks when he received a message from his trusted aide."Miss Bass has disappeared in Meawood City. We couldn't find her," the man reported."Keep searching and find her at all costs," Felipe urgently said.He used all his connections and even hired private detectives, but there was still no news.It wasn't until Sadie returned to Imperium that Felipe got the information. To his surprise, Sadie had gone to Meawood City with Delbert.Although Delbert had lost his memory, Felipe couldn't feel reassured. He decided to temporarily leave Imperium and lay low for a while.He packed up his belongings and planned to escape abroad.Just as he was transferring his assets at home, the police suddenly came to his door."Hello, are you Mr. Felipe Bass?" they said.Felipe didn't expect the police to act so quickly. He said nervously, "Yes, may I help you?"But the following words from the police dashed his last hope. "Based on the video sent by Miss Harriet
