The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 173
Chapter 173"I will never forgive those who have wronged me," Nora declared, tears trickling down her cheek.Her fingers clenched the blanket so tightly that her knuckles turned white and the veins on her arms bulged."Nora, don't fret. Once you're discharged, I'll make sure those who hurt you pay for their actions. And Harriet won't get away with it either," Bessie reassured Nora, tucking her in before leaving for home.The room fell back into an unsettling silence.Nora was about to rest when she heard hurried footsteps outside her ward.A figure in black burst into the room. Startled by the noise, Nora forced her injured eyes open and struggled to sit up."Who's there?" she demanded.Suddenly, a bucket of dirty water drenched her, making her gasp from the cold."Ah! Who dares to douse me? Are you courting death?" She cursed, clueless about the intruder's identity due to the darkness.A forceful slap landed on her face, reopening her freshly stitched wound and causing blood

Chapter 174The man in black narrowed his eyes menacingly."Is Harriet truly a fool?" he questioned."Absolutely not! I'm convinced she's been feigning ignorance all this time," Nora responded, her teeth clenched in frustration.She had been utterly deceived by Harriet, whom she had believed to be a simpleton.The man in black scrutinized Nora's face, finding no signs of deceit. He chose to trust her words. His master had given clear instructions. If they discovered that Harriet was not a fool, they were to eliminate her immediately.Since they couldn't approach Delbert directly, they had to rely on Nora to deal with Harriet.The man in black scoffed, "Alright, we'll give you another chance. Since Delbert has been aiding Harriet, why don't you devise a plan to ensure he can't assist her anymore? Then, when the opportunity presents itself, eliminate Harriet."His voice grew colder as he spoke, carrying an unmistakable threat. "You'll need assistance this time. You can contact

Chapter 175"Delbert, I've been waiting for you," Harriet said, her eyes heavy with sleep.She was a light sleeper and had noticed when Delbert left the room.She knew he must have gone to see Milton, but she was puzzled by the troubled look on his face when he returned.Delbert couldn't help but chuckle. "Would you like to sleep when I return?"Caught off guard by his intense gaze, Harriet quickly lowered her eyes, her heart fluttering. "Delbert, I've prepared your bath."As he hadn't mentioned his visit to Milton, Harriet didn't dare to ask.She was about to leave him in the bathroom when he suddenly grasped her hand."Stay, okay?" Delbert said.His voice was low and enticing, stirring something within Harriet.She blushed at his words.They hadn't been so intimate on the island."No, I want to watch TV." Harriet quickly refused.But he persisted, mimicking her coyness. "Don't you love me anymore? Can't you grant me this small request?"He loosened his grip on her hand.

Chapter 176With the plan in mind, Nora swiftly called the man in black."Before handling Harriet, find me medicine in Agral City. It's colorless, tasteless, and can make even the most virtuous woman willingly seek pleasure," she said."Okay! I'll dispatch someone immediately. Just deal with Harriet quickly," responded the man in black icily.He was about to end the call when Nora added, "I also need a remedy for my face. There's a potion developed by an unknown physician in Meawood City that regenerates cells—the Z-type potion.""Not part of the plan against Harriet, is it?" questioned the man in black.Nora had her reply ready. "If my face doesn't improve, how can I draw Harriet out?"The man in black hummed in consent and hung up the phone.The ward fell back into silence, as if nothing had transpired.However, the fear previously etched on Nora's face had vanished. Now her eyes were filled with hatred, glinting with coldness.With the medicine she had, Nora was confident

Chapter 177Despite 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.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 I do now?"

Chapter 178Suddenly, Delbert opened his eyes and caught sight of Harriet trying to slip away. He reached out and pulled her back into his arms."Sleep a little longer," he murmured.Harriet's heart pounded, her cheeks burning."Delbert, I need to bathe and change clothes. I can't let others see me like this."Delbert looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You were so vocal last night. Weren't you afraid of being overheard? Why so shy now?"His deep, seductive voice made Harriet's face turn crimson. "It's all your fault."Delbert buried his face in her neck and croaked, "Yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you last night."Harriet grew even more bashful.She, too, was to blame for agreeing to his request."Stop making fun of me! It's annoying!" Harriet pouted.Delbert couldn't bear to tease her any further and could only apologize.He caressed her face, his voice soft. "Alright, it's my fault. Don't be angry.""That's more like it," Harriet said,

Chapter 179Unable to manage the organization herself, Harriet had appointed a proxy, which explained why Delbert had never discovered her identity.This proxy was Joe, a seemingly ordinary but exceptionally talented doctor.His decision to study medicine had been influenced by Harriet's mother, Miriam, who had saved his parents' lives when he was little."Miss Harriet, someone is requesting the Z-type potion from us," Joe informed her."Who is it?" Harriet asked in a low voice.Upon hearing the name from Joe, Harriet responded with a sneer and a curt "Refuse" before ending the call.A strange smile played on her lips after she hung up.Unexpectedly, Nora's face had suffered damage, and she had sent a mysterious individual to acquire the Z-type potion for treatment.It appeared that Nora had received assistance from this mysterious person to help Clifton overcome a tax evasion crisis and secure the position of general manager of the Munoz Group. Unfortunately, his plans had st

Chapter 180After Milton's birthday party, Delbert and Harriet only stayed there for two days before leaving.As Cory started the car, Delbert received a text message. His expression turned grim as he said to Harriet, "Something happened to Molly."Molly had suddenly fainted at home that day, which had frightened Marc. He quickly took her to the hospital.However, the doctors were helpless with her condition. In desperation, Marc had to call Selena.But after Selena saw Molly's condition, she remained silent.It seemed that the situation was very bad.Molly was now lying in the intensive care unit, weak and helpless on the hospital bed.Marc's anger subsided as he saw her like this.This woman had somehow entered his heart.Maybe it was before they got married, or maybe it was a long time ago when he saw her for the first time.

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

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.
