The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

In the villa, Harriet was lying on the bed, gazing at Delbert’s number.

Several hours had passed, and she wondered if Delbert had safely arrived in Imperium. She thought about calling him.

But then she dismissed it. Given the unpleasant look on Delbert’s face earlier, there must have been a major problem with the project. He must be busy now, and she shouldn’t disturb him.

With these thoughts in mind, Harriet drifted off to sleep.

Without Delbert by her side, she had a nightmare about her childhood again.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

When she woke up the next day, the space beside her was empty.

She felt confused for a moment before remembering that Delbert went on a business trip to Imperium last night. Harriet quickly opened her phone, but Delbert hadn’t sent her any messages.

She felt a little upset.

She had been thinking about him all day yesterday, but as soon as he arrived in Imperium, he was out of touch. Harriet picked up her phone and called him, but it was turned off.

She felt something was off.

Even when Delbert was busy in the past, he never turned off his phone or missed any of her calls.

‘What's going on today?’ She wondered.

Feeling strange about it, she got out of bed and prepared to ask Cory about Delbert’s situation.

Before she could get out of her room, Cory’s anxious voice came

from outside. “What happened to Mr. Delbert?”

Harriet stopped in her tracks, opening the door a crack.

Outside the door, Cory was making a phone call, his face looking grim.

His cold voice made Harriet freeze and sweat.

“How could Mr. Delbert be ambushed and go missing? Have you contacted the police in Imperium?” Cory questioned.

Harriet didn’t pay attention to the rest of the conversation. Her mind was occupied by one thought-Delbert was in danger and missing in Imperium.

‘How could this happen? Didn't he say there was no problem?’ She thought. Tears welled up in her eyes.

The situation in Imperium was in chaos because of Delbert’s disappearance.

The disappearance of the president of Carlson Group was undoubtedly big news.

But no one knew how Delbert had disappeared. Everyone had no information about him, only knowing that he was attacked at Carlson Manor and then went missing.

No matter how the police searched, they couldn't find any trace of him. He seemed to have vanished into thin air. LEG WEL 23 BONUS

After hanging up the phone, Cory hesitated to tell Harriet the bad. news. Delbert probably wouldn't want Harriet to worry about his disappearance, but Cory couldn't bear to keep it a secret.

While he was torn, Harriet’s trembling voice suddenly came from

behind him.

“Cory, what you just said, is it true?”

Cory’s mind jolted.

He turned around and trembled at the sight of Harriet.

“Madam, you heard it?” he said.

“I'm asking you. Is what you just said true or not?” Harriet said.

She was panic-stricken and skeptical about what Cory had just said. She walked up, questioning harshly.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

“It's true, madam. Mr. Delbert is missing,” replied Cory.

Harriet was struck dumb.
