Semua Bab The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 41 The TruthSeveral bodyguards swiftly responded to Delbert's command and apprehended Colleen.Colleen, taken aback, questioned, "Mr. Delbert, what is the meaning of this?""Colleen, are you not aware that Harriet is going to be my wife, the sole hostess of this mansion? Even if she mistreats you, you should bear with it as a servant. How dare you complain to me?"Delbert spat and then commanded, "Get her out and cast her into the sea as fish food!"He disregarded Colleen's existence. The only person who mattered to him was Yvonne.The bodyguards promptly obeyed the order, seizing Colleen and making their way toward the exit.Colleen, panic-stricken, cried out in protest, "Mr. Delbert, no! I've served you for so many years. You can't be so heartless!"Miss Harriet slapped me and demanded I kowtow to her. All the servants witnessed it. If you blame me instead, you'll be scorned by everyone."Having resided with the Carlson family for so long and having been valued by M

Chapter 43 The Unwelcome Guest"Harriet, I'm here to see you."Before the figure came into view, his voice echoed through the air.From a distance, Harriet caught the sound of Clifton's cheerful voice.His excitement, however, wasn't due to seeing his daughter. Rather, it stemmed from the hope of uncovering the whereabouts of the inheritance left by Harriet's mother.A fleeting shadow passed over Harriet's eyes as she suppressed a dark emotion.Clifton soon emerged before them.He was surprised by Delbert's presence and quickly plastered on a flattering smile."Mr. Delbert, you're home too. Well, I've brought some gifts for you guys, a token of my regard."Compared with his enthusiasm, Delbert remained aloof and indifferent.Clifton felt displeased by the cold reception but dared not show it openly.After all, the man before him was the overlord of Meawood City and the president of Carlson Group.Suddenly, a growling sound broke the tension.Delbert turned toward the sourc

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

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,

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
