The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 279
"Ah! Marc, did you drink too much?" Then Molly's voice came again, "I’m sorry, Harriet. Marc drank too much. What did you say just then? What happened to you and Mr. Delbert?""Oh, it's nothing. You guys can continue. We need to go home first," Harriet said with a smile.She knew without asking that there must be a big commotion in the private room now. It was right for her and Delbert to leave first.After a few words with Molly, Harriet hung up the phone. Just as she put away her phone, Delbert's warm large hand once again held her fingers."Harriet, let's go home quickly. It's too dangerous outside."His voice was low and slightly hoarse. She wasn't sure if she had misheard it, but she could vaguely sense a hint of coquettishness in his tone.Harriet was stunned, and her ears turned slightly red.Delbert in this state really looked like a bad man leading a young woman home.Seeing that she didn't react, Delbert thought she wanted to have fun a little longer in Holy Night
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 280
Early the next morning, Harriet rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly opened them. She found herself curled up in Delbert's embrace, her hand still around his waist. Her cheeks flushed suddenly.As memories gradually returned, she remembered holding Delbert last night and whispering in his ear that she would never leave him again. Harriet felt a wave of embarrassment and quickly burrowed under the covers, her long eyelashes trembling slightly."Harriet." Delbert gently called her name, his lips moving, "I won't leave either. I won't leave you!"Harriet was taken aback and took a moment to realize that he was responding to the vows she had made to him last night.Shyly, she burrowed further under the covers, her cheeks blushing."But you said so yourself last night. How could you forget so quickly?"Delbert gazed at Harriet calmly, his deep eyes filled with tenderness.After calming down in the covers for a while, Harriet gradually realized something was amiss. Delbert had

Chapter 281Delbert thought to himself that, when he recovered from his illness, he would tell Harriet about their childhood memories.The next day, Harriet continued to take Delbert to the medicinal pool and, like yesterday, gave him a medicinal bath and acupuncture.She casually asked Delbert about Nora, who was still on the run."By the way, have you found Nora?" she asked."I've already asked Cory to find her as soon as possible. I'll bring her to justice and avenge you," said Delbert."Hmm! I believe in you!" Harriet said, feeling touched inside.Delbert looked at her with shiny eyes.In fact, Harriet wasn't worried at all that Delbert's people would fail to catch Nora because, when she asked Joe to sell the Z-type potion to Nora, she secretly added something to it. Now was the time for the drug to take effect.So, Nora would come back to her to settle the score and fall into her trap.Two days later, Harriet received a call from Nora, but she used Monica's phone."Harr
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 282
Chapter 282After a while, Harriet's phone rang. It was still Monica's number, so she quickly answered the call."I'll give you one more chance. Bring one billion dollars to see me, or I will kill Monica," Nora said.Nora's face, which had been cured, was suddenly swollen and rotting. She went to the hospital and found out that the wound had been infected and required urgent treatment.But the subsequent treatment costs were in the tens of millions. After injuring Harriet, Nora could have escaped abroad, but to save her face, she had to come back and kidnap Monica to force Harriet to give her money and help her fix her face.Harriet remained silent for a while before sneering."Nora, have you lost your mind? Why should I agree to your demands? Just because you got hold of Monica's phone, you dare to claim that she's in your hands? Do you think I will believe whatever you say?" Harriet said.Nora's voice on the other end of the phone became sharp. "Then I'll let you hear her voic
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 283
Chapter 283Harriet then told Delbert about what Nora had asked her to do on the phone.After a moment of silence, Delbert said, "I've already sent someone over. You don't have to put yourself in danger. Just leave it to me."Harriet was taken aback. "But..."She was worried about Monica.After all, Monica was kidnapped because of her.Delbert interrupted her, saying, "The police and my team will handle the rest. You should stay at home and wait for my good news."Harriet pursed her lips. "Alright! Be careful and take Monica back safely."Delbert smiled. "Yes, my dear wife!"Harriet felt helpless. "Come on! It's not the time to joke around!""Okay, I got it. Talk to you later," Delbert said.Harriet hung up the phone and heaved a sigh of relief.She hoped that Monica would be safe....On the outskirts of Meawood City.In a dark and gloomy warehouse, Monica lay on the cold ground, weakly opening her eyes.Since being kidnapped by Nora, she hadn't eaten or drunk anything
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 284
Chapter 284Monica's heart began to beat violently. She felt a deep fear of death weighing heavily on her.She didn't want to die, but she didn't want to submit to someone like Nora either.She had been so good to Nora before, but she never expected that Nora would forget everything and even kidnap her.Nora was such a heartless person.Monica's lips trembled as she said, "I don't want to stay here."A triumphant expression appeared on Nora's face, and she pretended to be comforting."You've made the right choice. It's not worth dying for that despicable Harriet," she said. "Alright, let her go."Nora waved her hand, and two men walked over to help Monica up from the ground.Nora took out her phone and handed it to Monica."Come on and make a statement. Let's expose Harriet together. You hate her too, don't you?" she said.Unexpectedly, Monica didn't take the phone. Instead, she gathered her strength and lunged at Nora.Grabbing Nora's neck, she roared, "Don't come any clos

Chapter 285"Throw this wretch into the deep mountains! I want her to suffer and die!" Nora said.For this rebellion, Monica would pay with her life.Following orders, those men lifted Monica and put her in a sack.Monica woke up a few times, but each time she felt drowsy and had no idea where Nora's people were taking her.After an unknown amount of time, she felt like she had been thrown into some place.There was a damp, earthy smell mixed with the fresh scent of the forest, and the weight of the dirt kept piling on her body."Bury her! Don't let anyone find out!" Nora seemed to be giving orders.She was going to bury Monica alive.Nora was truly cruel.Monica tried to get up, but because she was bound by the sack, she couldn't figure out the direction. She could only wriggle and search forward until more dirt fell on her."Delbert!" she cried out.Her body became heavier, and the air grew thinner. Running a light fever, she coughed and shed tears."I'm sorry, I shouldn

Chapter 286In the end, Monica was found by Cory and rescued from the mud."Miss Monica, you're safe now," Cory said.Monica, who had survived the ordeal, could barely see anything, but Cory's words were deeply etched in her heart.This was the first time Cory had seen Monica in such a pitiful state. She was always arrogant and willful, but this time she seemed frightened.They were on a mountain that the car couldn't reach. Monica was running a light fever again, so Cory had no choice but to carry her down the mountain.His solid back gave Monica a sense of security. Perhaps because of the fever, her heart was pounding rapidly."By the way, what's your name?" she weakly said."Cory, assistant to Mr. Delbert," Cory replied."I'm Monica..."But before Monica could hear Cory's next words, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.Cory quickly took her to the hospital for treatment.Upon receiving the news of Monica's injury, her parents and Trevor Carlson rushed to the hos

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

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
