Semua Bab The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Chapter 171Delbert bore no ill will towards Kenny. He was aware of the identity of the person who wanted him dead, and his words to Kenny were merely a warning.They were both pawns in Milton's game."What? How is that possible? How can my father possibly hire a foreign mafia to kill you? That's absurd. Are you trying to trick me, Delbert?" Kenny said."I have no reason to trick you. Reflect on it yourself." Delbert said.With that, Delbert left the conversation, heading directly to the second-floor study where Milton had just been with Harriet.Milton sat in his chair, studying the girl before him.Harriet was as beautiful as a clear blue sky, radiating a pure and refreshing aura.In the quiet moment, she bore a striking resemblance to the genius doctor, Miriam, who had once saved his life.It was a shame that Miriam had a daughter who was perceived as a fool.Feeling uncomfortable under Milton's intense gaze, Harriet asked innocently, "Milton, did you want to discuss somet

Chapter 173"I will never forgive those who have wronged me," Nora declared, tears trickling down her cheek.Her fingers clenched the blanket so tightly that her knuckles turned white and the veins on her arms bulged."Nora, don't fret. Once you're discharged, I'll make sure those who hurt you pay for their actions. And Harriet won't get away with it either," Bessie reassured Nora, tucking her in before leaving for home.The room fell back into an unsettling silence.Nora was about to rest when she heard hurried footsteps outside her ward.A figure in black burst into the room. Startled by the noise, Nora forced her injured eyes open and struggled to sit up."Who's there?" she demanded.Suddenly, a bucket of dirty water drenched her, making her gasp from the cold."Ah! Who dares to douse me? Are you courting death?" She cursed, clueless about the intruder's identity due to the darkness.A forceful slap landed on her face, reopening her freshly stitched wound and causing blood

Chapter 175"Delbert, I've been waiting for you," Harriet said, her eyes heavy with sleep.She was a light sleeper and had noticed when Delbert left the room.She knew he must have gone to see Milton, but she was puzzled by the troubled look on his face when he returned.Delbert couldn't help but chuckle. "Would you like to sleep when I return?"Caught off guard by his intense gaze, Harriet quickly lowered her eyes, her heart fluttering. "Delbert, I've prepared your bath."As he hadn't mentioned his visit to Milton, Harriet didn't dare to ask.She was about to leave him in the bathroom when he suddenly grasped her hand."Stay, okay?" Delbert said.His voice was low and enticing, stirring something within Harriet.She blushed at his words.They hadn't been so intimate on the island."No, I want to watch TV." Harriet quickly refused.But he persisted, mimicking her coyness. "Don't you love me anymore? Can't you grant me this small request?"He loosened his grip on her hand.

Chapter 177Despite the Morton Group's outward harmony, there was a hidden turmoil and power struggle behind the scenes. Each director harbored their own ulterior motives, hoping for a change in the leadership.Lula, born into an ordinary family, had a single ambition: to ascend the social ladder through a man. With her innocent and kind facade, coupled with her ability to act cute and clingy, she managed to soften Marc's heart and be cherished.However, their relationship could only remain like that. She could never win Marc's heart, and he had never touched her.Fortunately, after spending many years by Marc's side, she got to know numerous executives and gradually expanded her network.Upon learning about the situation within the Morton Group, she made a decisive move to buy back their shares, intending to support Vernon and become his partner."What should I do now?" Vernon asked, convinced by how well thought out Lula's plan was.He had a feeling that this time he might tru

Chapter 179Unable to manage the organization herself, Harriet had appointed a proxy, which explained why Delbert had never discovered her identity.This proxy was Joe, a seemingly ordinary but exceptionally talented doctor.His decision to study medicine had been influenced by Harriet's mother, Miriam, who had saved his parents' lives when he was little."Miss Harriet, someone is requesting the Z-type potion from us," Joe informed her."Who is it?" Harriet asked in a low voice.Upon hearing the name from Joe, Harriet responded with a sneer and a curt "Refuse" before ending the call.A strange smile played on her lips after she hung up.Unexpectedly, Nora's face had suffered damage, and she had sent a mysterious individual to acquire the Z-type potion for treatment.It appeared that Nora had received assistance from this mysterious person to help Clifton overcome a tax evasion crisis and secure the position of general manager of the Munoz Group. Unfortunately, his plans had st
