The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

“What's wrong? Can you tell me?” Delbert asked softly, turning to face Harriet.

Harriet shook her head. “I’m fine. | just want to hug you.”

She knew that as long as he was by her side, she could keep going.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Silly girl!” Delbert affectionately scratched her nose, his face full of fondness. “No matter what happens, don’t be afraid. | will always be by your side.”

“Okay!” Harriet responded.

The next day, as dawn was breaking, Harriet rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. She looked at Delbert, who was still sound asleep beside her, and smiled. Leaning over, she gently blew in his ear.

“Delbert, rise and shine!” she said.

Delbert slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his ticklish ear, looking somewhat helpless at the mischievous expression on Harriet's face.

He raised his hand and pinched her cheek. “You little mischief-maker.”

“I'm not a mischief-maker. You are!” Harriet retorted, making a face at

him.

She then lifted the covers and hopped out of bed.

After getting dressed, she noticed the ambiguous hickeys on her collarbone and touched them.

“Ah! I've been bitten by several mosquitoes here,” she said.

Delbert got out of bed, dressed, and without even looking up, said, ” Have you ever seen such handsome mosquitoes?” Harriet laughed until her eyes crinkled. “No. You're the only handsome mosquito in the house.”

Delbert laughed helplessly and shook his head. He was not flattered.

The two quickly finished getting ready and headed downstairs. The housekeeper had already prepared breakfast. After eating, they set off to the hospital to visit Molly.

At the Munoz family’s villa, after being discharged from the hospital, Nora specifically chose a time when Clifton wasn’t home to return and find Bessie.

“Mom, can you transfer 20% of your shares in Munoz Group to my name?” Nora demanded as soon as she entered the house, showing no politeness or respect for her mother.

Although Bessie always gave Nora whatever she wanted, this was about Munoz Group’s shares, so she had to be careful. “Why do you suddenly want shares in our company?” Bessie asked, puzzled.

Once people had something, they feared losing it.

“Why are you asking so many questions? Just give me the shares,” Nora said irritably, desperate to treat her face.

+25 BONUS “But at least, you should tell me the reason,” Bessie said, refusing to easily give Nora the shares.

“| want to use these shares to cure my face. | recently contacted an organization called King. The medicine they have can cure my face, but the condition is twenty percent of the shares in the Munoz Group,” Nora huffed.

That was what the man in black told her. She then switched to a pleading tone. “You can’t bear to see my face ruined like this, can you? Please help me.”

Bessie couldn't bear to see Nora with this disfigured face. She looked at Nora, who was wrapped in gauze, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.

Nora saw her hesitancy and instantly understood that Bessie’s heart must be wavering.

So, she continued to plead, “Mom, I’m your only daughter. If you don’t help me, I’m finished. | would rather die than live with a disfigured

face.”
