The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 1 RebirthHarriet Munoz, the infamous simpleton in Meawood City, died.She died on her birthday.Before she died, her younger sister, Nora Munoz, deceived her into signing an organ donation form. As she was tied to the operating table, all the organs that could be donated were removed from her body without anesthesia, causing her to die in excruciating pain.As for Vernon Morton, whom she thought was the man she loved? After swindling away the inheritance left to her by her mother, he turned around and gave it to Nora as a betrothal gift.Now they were kissing right in front of her corpse. Holding each other, they mocked her for her stupidity.It was only just before her death that Harriet saw through their true colors.She finally realized that in this world, the only person who had been kind to her was Delbert Carlson.He was Harriet's husband, who didn't mind that she was mentally challenged, and he even used a marriage contract to protect her. But she put poison in

Chapter 3 DelbertIn the dark of night, only the faint moonlight shone through the window, vaguely outlining the hard features of the man. His deep eyes, blazing with intense desire, were fixed on her.It was Delbert—her Delbert.In her previous life, Harriet only realized that Delbert was nothing like the rumored description of being ugly and malicious after Bessie sent her to the island.On the contrary, he had a handsome countenance and a noble bearing. Later, he even became president of the Carlson Group and a trillionaire, who showered her with lavish care.But deceived by Nora and Vernon, she foolishly believed that Delbert had pressured her family for her to marry him. In the end, she not only cheated him out of his business secrets, causing him to go broke, but also ended his life with a poisoned drink.The thought of her actions in her previous life made Harriet's heart bleed and filled her with deep regret.And now, Delbert was just inches away from her, yet she could

Chapter 5 Messing with Them"In..."Harriet giggled, deliberately drawing out the suspense to pique the curiosity of Clifton and the others."Where?" The three conniving people chorused in unison.Clifton, Bessie, and Nora were all in a state of anxiety.Despite the Munoz family managing to stand firm in Meawood City, they had been struggling financially for some time. Apart from the substantial wealth left by Harriet's mother, their only hope lay in the marriage alliance with the Carlson family.Unfortunately, the bridegroom was Delbert, the least favored son of the Carlson family.Thus, Clifton was not keen on marrying off his youngest daughter, Nora, who still held some value for him.Nora came up with a brilliant plan to have her foolish sister marry Delbert in her place.Now under the expectant gazes of the three, Harriet blinked, grinned, and clapped her hands to sing."Incy-wincy spider climbed up the water spout...""Are you kidding me?"Clifton, filled with rage,

Chapter 7 A Grand EntranceIt was seven o'clock in the evening.A fully-dressed Harriet was led downstairs by Bessie. They were ready to attend the engagement party at the Golden Joy Hotel.Harriet suddenly stopped halfway, refusing to go any further. She pointed at Nora and pouted."You can't dress up so beautifully. Otherwise, Delbert won't fancy me, and I won't be able to marry into the Carlson family and live a comfortable life."Nora was annoyed by the fuss, but then she found some truth in Harriet's words.Nora was lauded as the top beauty in Meawood City, and she outshone everyone else at every party.If she appeared so dazzling at the engagement party, Milton might despise the plain-looking Harriet and choose Nora as the bride. That would be disastrous.Nora didn't want to marry that inhumane and impotent man.After a brief contemplation, she went back to her room, removed her makeup, and changed into a maid's outfit.After confirming that her appearance would not sta

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
