The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Delbert’s gaze toward Harriet grew intense and possessive, his eyes. tracing every inch of her skin with desire and possessiveness.

Unfazed, Harriet met his gaze with bright eyes, tilted her head, and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

“It's okay, Delbert. | don’t blame you. | know you're doing it for me,” she assured him. “If you want to keep me close, then never let me go. Keep me by your side forever, and don’t abandon me, okay?”

Harriet had already pledged to stay with Delbert for a lifetime unless he pushed her away.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

In her previous life, deceived by Nora and Vernon, she had wrongly believed Delbert to be violent and terrifying. It had driven her to madness, and she had attempted to leave him.

Yet when she died, none of her family and friends came to see her. Only Delbert escaped prison to be with her in death. In this life, she was determined not to let Delbert down.

Even if he didn’t love her now, she would do her best to win him over.

“Harriet, are you sincere, or is this about Vernon?”

Delbert’s dark eyes held a serious gaze, his magnetic voice seeking the truth.

He wanted to believe her, but what happened at the Munoz family’s villa the other day still lingered in his mind. Her action of hugging Vernon and Vernon’s words pricked his heart.

They were like irremovable thorns in his heart. Whenever he thought Harriet understood why Delbert never believed her words.

Because in their past life, even when they were in bed, every time she faced Delbert, she called out Vernon’s name. She never treated him kindly and always angered him.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to say anything harsh to her. In the end, he even got sick from the stress. But what was she doing when he urgently needed hospitalization?

She believed in Nora and Vernon’s deception and stole the confidential documents he locked in the drawer, which caused him to be taken to the police station for questioning. In the end, his company went bankrupt, and he was imprisoned.

Those memories were vivid and unbearable to look back on.

But in this life, Harriet decided to do everything she could to make up

for her mistakes.

She responded confidently, “I’m sincere. Why would | say these things to that big villain, Vernon?”

Under his scrutinizing gaze, she decisively pulled his tie, bringing him

closer.

The proximity intensified, and their breaths intertwined.

Delbert, entranced, glimpsed her fair skin inside her collar. His Adam’s apple bobbed and his body tensed as he struggled to restrain his desire.

The taste of her lingered, pushing him to the edge. About to lose control, he grasped Harriet’s waist, preparing for another round.

However, the untimely sound of knocking disrupted the moment.

Opal’s voice came from outside. “Sir, Mr. Welch requests an audience.

Delbert, annoyed by the interruption, narrowed his eyes and snorted, ” Let him wait in the living room.”

Marc had come at the wrong time. It was so annoying.

Delbert rose from his seat and looked at Harriet, who still looked cute despite being handcuffed and shackled. Unable to resist, he planted a pitying kiss on her forehead.

“Wait for me in bed. I'll be back soon.”
