The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 44 Colleen's Anger
Chapter 44 Colleen's AngerColleen deserved such treatment.She hoisted herself up from the ground. Every fiber of her being seethed with fury.She placed the blame squarely on Harriet. If it hadn't been for Harriet, she wouldn't be in a position where any maid in the villa could bully her.At the same time, she told herself to calm down and wait for her daughter to arrive.The day her daughter hooked up with Delbert would be the day of Harriet's demise....The meal was hastily prepared, yet no one in the villa dared to lend Colleen a hand. She was left with no choice but to use her injured hand to carry the scorching plates and hobble her way to the dining room.Feeling sorry for her, Opal wanted to help."Colleen, let me assist you!"However, the haughty Colleen pushed her away and mocked her."How can I bother the esteemed companion of Miss Harriet to help me serve food? If you burn your hand, it'll be all my fault."Harriet tugged at Opal's clothes.Opal huffed and st
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 45 Unforeseen Trouble
Chapter 45 Unforeseen Trouble"Hold up! I'll be right back!"Clifton hastily ended the call, and now he lost interest in asking Harriet about her mother's legacy.His sole focus now was to return home to tackle the pressing issue."Mr. Delbert, my apologies. Something urgent has cropped up at home, so I must take my leave. I'll come by another day," he announced hurriedly, forgetting his disguise as he dashed off.Earlier on the phone, Bessie had informed him about an anonymous tip-off to the press, accusing him of tax evasion.Journalists from major media outlets swarmed outside their house, vying for the scoop.This left Clifton feeling flustered.He had executed everything perfectly and had been certain that no one would find out.'Who could be behind this leak? Could it be someone around me?' He wondered.Harriet shot a cold glance at Clifton's retreating figure.Considering her previous condition, Clifton had occasionally let his guard down around her.Now that she had
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 46 A Mother's Dilemma
Chapter 46 A Mother's Dilemma"Mrs. Munoz, may I ask if Mr. Munoz's tax evasion is true?"Do you know about this? Have you helped him?""Your eldest daughter, Harriet, is now married to Mr. Delbert. Will you seek his help in resolving this matter?""By the way, why haven't we seen your second daughter, Nora? Can we ask her to come out and comment on this matter?"The reporters bombarded Bessie with questions, each one more aggressive than the last.As she grappled with the relentless onslaught, Bessie silently urged herself to endure through this trying time.Since there was no bad news coming from Nora, she probably had successfully executed their plan.Bessie could then leverage her motherly influence, and the Carlson Group's money would flow in, making her the esteemed first lady of Meawood City.With that secured, she would simply ignore Clifton and leave him to clean up his mess.Clifton, lurking in the shadows, found the situation too intense. Attempting to slip away un
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 47 A Mother's Guilt
Chapter 47 A Mother's GuiltClifton was taken aback by the fury in Bessie's eyes.He couldn't understand why Bessie suddenly turned so volatile.Regaining his senses, he pushed her away and lashed out at her."You must be going through menopause. Your mind is all twisted. Didn't Nora reject Mr. Delbert's proposal and let Harriet marry him instead? The person on the island is naturally Harriet."Bessie was aware of these facts, but she had sold Harriet to the human traffickers. Harriet should be on the ship bound for Happy Harpers.A sense of foreboding gripped her, intensifying her headache.Unable to bear it any longer, Bessie grabbed her phone and dialed the number of the traffickers.But no matter how many times she tried, the line remained dead.Her face grew paler, and her mind went into turmoil.Suddenly, she remembered the peculiarities of the sack and the agonized struggles of the person inside when she pricked it with needles.She then recalled Nora's odd behavior,
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 48 A Mother's Desperation
Chapter 48 A Mother's Desperation"Look how she angered Milton that day! Her actions nearly destroyed our family!"Clifton's anger flared as he recalled the incident at the banquet."No, Nora... She's suffering at the Happy Harpers in Keford!" Bessie cried out, her voice hoarse and desperate.Only Clifton could save their daughter now."What are you talking about? Why is that wretched girl at Happy Harpers?"Clifton stopped in his tracks and turned back to question Bessie.Bessie mustered the courage to explain the whole story.Anger surged within Clifton, and he slapped Bessie across the face."Have you lost your mind? How dare you plot behind my back?"Tears streamed down Bessie's face as she clung tightly to Clifton's clothes, begging for forgiveness."Clifton, it's all my fault. None of this is Nora's doing. Go and save her, please!"Nora is still so young. How can she endure such suffering?""Then let her rot there!" Clifton, consumed by his self-interest, didn't even
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 49 Unexpected Return
Chapter 49 Unexpected Return"Sir, Kenny has returned from Keford!" Cory announced respectfully.Delbert stood before the expansive floor-to-ceiling window, gazing outside.Down in the back garden, Harriet was helping Tucker bathe.Tucker had been in the mountains for far too long, neglecting its appearance to the point that its white fur had turned gray.Unable to tolerate it, Harriet took Tucker to the garden after lunch, intent on giving it an open-air bath.The fierce-looking mastiff appeared like a gentle giant before Harriet, obedient to her every command.As she bathed Tucker, they both frolicked in the water, thoroughly enjoying themselves.Witnessing this heartwarming sight filled Delbert with a sense of completeness deep within his heart.Finally, he had his beloved girl.From now on, he vowed never to let her suffer, even if it meant facing insurmountable challenges."It's best to let him walk right into the trap," Delbert remarked, turning away from the scene and
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 50 Unsettling Discoveries
Chapter 50 Unsettling DiscoveriesHolding Harriet in his arms, Delbert felt a wave of calm wash over him.Her sweet voice brought comfort to every inch of his being, causing a slight curl of his lips."How is it going with Tucker?"Delbert couldn't resist running his fingers through Harriet's hair, his eyes shining with delight."I love Tucker, and Tucker loves me!"Harriet raised her head, fixing her eyes on Delbert with a broad smile.As if aware of Harriet's gaze, Tucker shook off the water from its body and happily dashed toward her, splashing water droplets onto her face."Ah! Tucker, you've stained my skirt. Hmph, I'm angry now, and I'm going to teach you a lesson!"Harriet widened her eyes and puffed up her cheeks.She pretended to be fierce, clenching her fists as she chased after Tucker.Thinking its master was playing with him, Tucker darted away.They ran around Delbert in joyful chaos.After a while, when Harriet had enough fun, Delbert called her over and wipe
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 51 The Intriguing Call
Chapter 51 The Intriguing CallThe ringtone echoed through the air.Harriet had no idea who could be calling at this hour.'Could it be Molly?' She wondered.She noticed Delbert's frown and the subtle displeasure that flashed across his face.Unable to snatch the phone from him, she cautiously spoke up."Delbert, my phone is ringing."Delbert stared intently at the caller ID, the name "Vernon" shining brightly.After a moment of silence, a dark smile curled on his lips."It's Vernon calling. Would you like to answer?"His eyes held a mysterious glint, leaving her unsure of his true intentions.He seemed to be hinting that if she dared to answer the call, he would smash the phone.'Is he jealous?' Harriet wondered but soon dismissed the ridiculous thought.She suppressed her complicated emotions and pouted at him, throwing the question back."What do you say?"Harriet, with her cute round face and fair complexion, looked at Delbert expectantly."Answer it as you like."

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

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.

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

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.

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
