The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 189
Chapter 189In the dim room, Delbert navigated familiarly to the bed, gently placing Harriet on it."Delbert, I haven't freshened up yet," Harriet said, trying to push him away.But Delbert leaned in, silencing her with a forceful kiss.There was no tenderness, only overpowering possession that left Harriet breathless.As he slowly unbuttoned her blouse, his touch sent tremors through her body. "Delbert, please, let go," she protested, finally catching a breath.Delbert's behavior today was odd, as if he had been provoked by something.It was hard to pinpoint, but he seemed unlike his usual self."Do you love me?" Delbert suddenly asked, stopping his movements.Harriet was stunned and at a loss.Of course, she loved him. But did Delbert love her, or was it Yvonne he loved?"It feels like I can't live without you," Delbert murmured, startling Harriet.She widened her eyes, gripping the sheets tightly.'Could he truly mean he couldn't live without me? Is it me or Yvonne

Chapter 190"What's your plan with Nora?" Lula asked after some thought."Once she's recovered, I'll divorce her," Vernon declared, gritting his teeth at the mention of Nora.That despicable woman had deceived him, and he would not let her off the hook."Good!" Lula nodded.Unbeknownst to Vernon, a sly smirk appeared on her face, revealing her calculating nature.The following morning, news of Brad's scandal spread like wildfire, quickly hitting headlines.Brad was in the middle of a morning meeting when officials from the prosecutor's office suddenly stormed in."Mr. Morton, you stand accused of embezzling company funds and tax evasion. We require your cooperation in our investigation."The officials presented Brad with the arrest warrant, leaving him stunned."When did I ever embezzle company funds or evade taxes? You need evidence to make such accusations," Brad said.With all the directors present, he couldn't possibly admit to something he hadn't done."We have substan

Chapter 191Brad hoped they could oppose Vernon taking over the company, giving him a chance for a comeback.As soon as Brad left, his followers immediately voiced their objections."I disagree with Vernon taking over the company. He has never been adept at managing companies. During this period, he has caused us significant losses. If any issues arise, it's not something any of us can bear," said one of them."I also disagree. Today's events are bound to cause considerable panic. Is he capable of handling it?" echoed another.The people on Brad's side all refused to let Vernon, an illegitimate son, take the reins.Narrowing her eyes, Lula walked behind Vernon and said, "Since Mr. Brad Morton has to undergo an investigation and cannot temporarily handle the company's affairs, it's only natural for his brother to take over the company. The Becker family will fully support the Morton family and try to compensate for your losses."She had to support Vernon wholeheartedly to win in

Chapter 192Harriet was about to head upstairs to rest when her phone rang.Upon hearing the news, she asked Joe if a hacker organization could be behind this and urged him to investigate. Joe had a friend who was the head of an international hacker organization, so the investigation shouldn't be too difficult.By noon, Delbert still hadn't returned, and Harriet was anxiously awaiting Joe's call.Fortunately, it wasn't long before he called back."Miss Harriet, I've discovered that the breach into King's system wasn't the work of a hacker organization, but rather a hacker known as 'Summer'," Joe reported."Three years ago, he infiltrated the system of the hacker organization where Q was based. At that time, Q had a face-off with him. This hacker is incredibly skilled; even Q barely managed to fend him off and protect their core data.""Is it possible for Q to step in and help intercept this hacker's intrusion?" Harriet asked urgently. "My contact mentioned that although we c

Chapter 193"Delbert, are you still working?" Harriet asked."Yes," Delbert responded, his work momentarily paused as he answered the phone."When will you be home? I miss you," Harriet said coyly.Delbert felt a surge of happiness. "I'm about to go back now. Wait for me at home."The rush hour had passed, so the traffic was light. It would take him about forty minutes to drive from Carlson Group back to the island."Okay! I'll wait for you," Harriet said.After ending the call, Harriet noticed that Q had won a battle.She quickly connected with Q to express her gratitude. "Q, I'm grateful for your help today."Q's voice was deep and raspy. It somehow made Harriet feel as if she had heard it somewhere before."No worries, Miss Munoz. The opponent must have been interrupted by something, so he stopped attacking the system. If he had continued, I might not have won. King has offended some powerful people this time," Q said.Q was the leader of an international hacker organizat

Chapter 194Step by step, Harriet approached Delbert.Gazing at his resolute, handsome face through her veil, she felt her heart racing.In her past life's wedding, she'd been manipulated by Nora and Vernon into wrecking chaos, but now she had conquered them and stood ready to become Delbert's wife.Onstage, the emcee solemnly recited the wedding vows.Harriet gripped Delbert's hand tightly and declared, "I do."She was willing to be with Delbert through life resolved to be his woman.At the end of the ceremony, they exchanged their rings. Harriet's cheeks beneath the veil burned.The emcee smiled and said, "You may kiss your bride now."A subtle smile graced Delbert's lips as he lifted the veil, revealing Harriet's exquisite face.Today, she was finally going to become his bride.He had been waiting for this day for a long time.Delbert's gaze was too intense, making Harriet's heart thump like a drum.If it weren't for still having to pretend to be foolish in front of eve

Chapter 195'Damn it!' Monica cursed inwardly.She was determined to thoroughly embarrass Harriet that evening and reveal her true colors to Delbert.After the wedding, everyone moved upstairs to the grand banquet hall.Now that Delbert had officially inherited the Carlson Group, he was poised to take the reins.From then on, he would be the sole commercial emperor of Meawood City, attracting many people at the party to greet and flatter him.In the end, Harriet was left alone.She didn't enjoy these kinds of occasions anyway. After toasting the elders, she retreated to the nearby terrace for some fresh air and to sober up.However, just as she was about to return to the hall, she sensed someone approaching from behind. She turned around, her gaze cold and piercing.It was Monica, elegantly holding a glass of champagne as she walked toward Harriet.Her demeanor was assertive and alluring. Seeing the elegant and noble Harriet before her, Monica couldn't help but feel a pang of

Chapter 196"A simpleton like you dare to challenge me? Today, I'll show you what reality is," Monica said.She lifted her hand and spilled the contents of her glass all over herself.Her white dress was stained with alcohol.With a crash, the glass shattered on the ground, and a scream pierced through the quiet atmosphere. 'Come on! Not again!' Harriet grumbled under her breath.Why did these women always resort to this tactic? Nora had done it, Lula had done it, and now even Monica was doing it.Since Monica had already planned for this, Harriet decided to play along.Her eyes glinted, and she raised her foot to kick Monica."Have fun!" she said.With a splash, Monica fell into a swimming pool nearby."Help! Help me!" Monica cried out as she flailed around in the water.She couldn't swim, but this was exactly what Harriet wanted.She quickly took off her high heels and jumped in after Monica. Grabbing her shoulder, Harriet pushed her underwater and made sure she swallow

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.

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. 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

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.
