The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 9 Confrontation
Chapter 9 Confrontation'Delbert?'Harriet was both surprised and delighted to see Delbert.She was surprised by his action in saving her, and she was delighted to see him at the engagement party. Did it mean he was willing to marry her?The light from the chandeliers cast a dangerous allure over his well-defined face and imposing figure.His bushy brows, deep eyes, and sensuous lips were all works of God.The guests gasped in awe. 'No noble sons in Meawood City can compare to this man. Who is he?'"Silly girl, have you seen enough?"Delbert was amused by Harriet's dazed look.He bent down to whisper in her ear. His hoarse voice carried an irresistible charm.In repose, his countenance possessed an uncommon beauty. When he smiled, it was akin to the gentle warmth of a breeze.His voice brought Harriet back to reality.His tenderness brought a renewed rush of color to her cheeks, causing even the tips of her ears to take on a tempting shade of red.His intense gaze tugged a
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 10 Boss
Chapter 10 BossNora always strutted around town like she owned the place, taking pride in her title as the top beauty and a medical genius. Even the noble sons of prominent families had to show her respect."Nora, be nice to him. That's what good girls do."Nora's demand for an apology enraged Harriet.She immediately stepped forward to shield Delbert.Her face was filled with determination to protect her man, and Delbert was amused.His keen eyes noticed something glinting in Harriet's palm.It was her silver needle.Harriet knew very well that, according to the trajectory of her previous life, Delbert had not yet become president of the Carlson Group. He should still be an insignificant son. If he offended Nora, his family would only laugh at him instead of supporting him.Harriet couldn't bear to let him experience that kind of humiliation again. She decided to protect him by silencing Nora with the silver needle.Delbert silently stepped forward and confronted Nora head-
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 11 Shocking Revelation
Chapter 11 Shocking RevelationWith the security guards' words, everyone took a sharp breath.It was another major shock following Harriet's entrance.Rumors had it that Delbert, the neglected son, was ugly, but the truth was the opposite. He was not only dashing, but he also inherited the Carlson Group.In the end, they were the ignorant ones.Compared to the astonished crowd, Harriet felt more puzzled.In her previous life, it took Delbert half a year to defeat Kenny and take over the Carlson Group. Before that, he had endured endless humiliation.'Could it be that my restoration of intelligence altered the course of his life, just like the butterfly effect?' Harriet wondered.Her thoughts were interrupted by a raspy voice."What is wrong with you people? There is only one head of the Carlson family, and it's Milton. Why are you bowing to him?"Nora gradually accepted the fact that this handsome man was Delbert.But it was impossible for him to inherit the Carlson Group.
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 12 Disgraced
Chapter 12 DisgracedShe immediately cast a venomous glance at Harriet.Surprisingly, Harriet was dully grinning at her, which made her sick.Before she could react, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her throat.Then she couldn't help but vomit all the food she had consumed at the party. Some of the pukes even splattered onto the feet of the surrounding guests.The guests screamed and retreated, looking at Nora with disgust.The so-called top beauty in Meawood City was nothing but a joke."Nora is disgusting and smelly."Harriet jumped out and made a face at Nora, clapping and laughing.Her words stimulated Nora, who was on the verge of erupting.In this world, besides her face, which cost a fortune to maintain, she cared most about her reputation."Fool, I'm going to kill you."Discarding her ladylike manners, she flung her arms and rushed over to tear apart Harriet's mocking face.As the people around them started recording videos and taking pictures, Harriet snee
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 13 Milton
Chapter 13 MiltonAs the voice fell, Milton stepped forward imposingly.His stern look made Bessie's and Nora's skin crawl. They didn't dare move a bit.Seeing Milton up close, Harriet felt a tingling sensation in her nose.Except for Delbert, Milton treated her the best.Although he hadn't liked her at first because she had the intelligence of a six-year-old, after she married into the Carlson family, he had treated her like his granddaughter.But she had been blinded by Nora and Vernon, helping them steal Delbert's business document. It had caused the collapse of the Carlson Group that Milton had built, and Delbert had nearly ended up in jail.After doing such a thing, she had wanted to elope with Vernon, which had angered Milton so much that he spat blood and fell into a coma. A few days later, he passed away in the hospital.Looking back, Harriet felt unbearable pain and deep regret.In this lifetime, she swore that she would never make the same mistakes again.Everything
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 14 His Woman
Chapter 14 His Woman"Nora, you should apologize to Harriet," Clifton demanded sternly.With all the political and business elites of Meawood City gathering here, and with Milton and Delbert overseeing, Nora had to give in under the pressure.Taking a deep breath, she sauntered toward the girl she had manipulated since her childhood. Swallowing her pride, she apologized."Harriet, I was wrong. Please forgive me.""Louder!" Delbert reminded her, determined to back up his woman till the end.Originally, he had already instructed his assistant to prepare outside. Once Nora was escorted out by security, she would be disposed of secretly, terminating the trouble once and for all.But his grandfather disrupted his plan, so he let it drop.There would be plenty of opportunities.Nora reluctantly bit her lip and glared at him, but his gaze shot a shiver through her and caused her blood to run cold.His gaze was hellish. This man was a terror.Without a choice, Nora clenched her fing
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 15 Jealousy
Chapter 15 JealousyHarriet was shaken to the core.The words echoing in her ears seemed to overlap with the vows of Delbert from her previous life.He had spent all his money on her and pampered her to the extreme.For a moment, she thought that he hadn't changed. Just like in previous life, his eyes were full of love when he looked at her.But why did he look away when she grinned at him?Sure enough, he no longer had feelings for her in this lifetime.He was only forced to marry her because of the incident last night.Outside the hotel, Bessie tried to get the disheveled Nora into the car, but the latter refused to leave."Mom, why did you stop me? Why didn't you let me tell everyone that we didn't force that..."Before she could finish her words, Clifton slapped her hard."That fool is your sister."When Clifton hit her a second time, Nora could no longer hold back."She is a fool despised by everyone. Why did she become Delbert's fiancee? It should have been me."Nor
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 16 An Acquaintance
Chapter 16 An Acquaintance"Miss Harriet, wait. Did you drop this needle?" someone suddenly called out.'Needle?'Harriet narrowed her eyes and turned around, only to see a familiar figure.'It's her.'Harriet's eyelashes fluttered.Sure enough, the track of her life had altered. She hadn't expected to encounter Molly Haynes now.Molly had been kind to her in her previous life, but those people had caused Molly to meet a tragic end.Harriet trotted up to her and asked in confusion while blinking."Miss, are you a nurse? Are you going to give me an injection? Can you please be gentle? I'm afraid of needles."She frowned and tugged at Molly's clothes with a pitiful look.Delbert noticed a change in Molly's expression.Narrowing his eyes, he walked over and pulled Harriet away. "Come with me!""Miss, I will come to you for injections later."Harriet looked back and waved cheerfully at Molly.In this lifetime, she needed a friend to help her get things done.After a long ti

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
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 782
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
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon Chapter 780
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

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.
