The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

“Harriet!” Delbert held her waist and patiently persuaded, “You can rest assured. The Munoz Group will be in good hands. “Besides, it’s currently in chaos, and there is a lot of work to be done. | don’t want you to exhaust yourself.”

Delbert’s intentions were good, but Harriet was still unwilling.

“Why don’t you understand what | want?” she said. “What | want is to grow and to have the ability to stand on my own. If things like that in Imperium happen again, | can come to your side and fight alongside you instead of helplessly waiting for you on the island.”

She wanted to grow and have the qualifications to stand by Delbert’s side. She didn’t want him to shoulder everything by himself. Delbert was not a machine or God. He could get tired.

But he always liked to act tough in front of her. Even though he wa exhausted, every time he came back, he would smile at her and hol her.

Since their past lives, he had always been like this, never letting her worry about anything. He only wanted to keep her safe, like people kept delicate flowers in greenhouses.

And he faced the storms alone.

Harriet knew that this was a manifestation of how much Delbert valued her, but she didn’t want it to be like this. If she couldn’t move forward with him, she would be left behind.

She was no longer a delicate flower in the greenhouse.

“Harriet!” he murmured with a frown.

It was the first real difference between them. If neither of them was willing to compromise, the stalemate would last. Harriet took a deep breath and said seriously, “I want to take over the Munoz Group!”

“Can you not do this?” Delbert said with a hint of helplessness in his

tone.

“Why are you so stubborn?” Harriet lowered her eyes and to steps back, her voice trembling. “Are you sure you're doing th good?”

Delbert felt a sting in his heart. “What?”

“You're not just satisfying your possessiveness?” Harriet asked.

Harriet pinched her arm to stay calm and confront Delbert.

“You always say that you won’t let me go out for my good, but it’s just your wishful thinking. You've never truly listened to me or know what | really want,” she said.
