The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 24 Desperation

Bessie picked up the silver needle and headed toward the sack. Nora’s heart filled with joy as she recognized her mother’s voice. But as soon as Harriet’s name was mentioned, a sudden realization hit her.

She remembered how she had failed to trap Harriet and gotten ensnared instead.

‘Is Harriet really retarded?’

Before she could make sense of it all, a sudden jolt of pain surged through her. “Die, you wretch!”

With a vicious expression, Bessie stabbed the sack repeatedly.

She thought it would devastate Harriet, but little did she know that it was her daughter, whom she had always doted on, suffering the final

blow.

Bessie became somewhat manic, and she began cursing the deceased Miriam.

Inside the sack, Nora was in unbearable pain. Tears streamed down her pale face.

She wanted to scream, telling her mother that she was inside.

But her mouth had been taped shut by Harriet, and her hands and feet were bound. Unable to break free, she could only squirm desperately, trying to avoid the falling silver needle.

But her struggle only served to infuriate Bessie further.

Bessie directed all her hatred for Harriet and Miriam onto the silver needle, only to inflict harm on her own daughter. The human trafficker rushed over to stop her.

“My goodness! Mrs. Munoz, you're killing her. If she dies, how can we make any money then?”

Bessie came to her senses, dropping the silver needle and taking a

breath.

Nora had been severely injured and was barely alive. The sack was already besmeared with blood.

Shortly after, Bessie and the human trafficker threw the sack into the trunk.

Before the human traffickers left, she ordered them to ‘take good care of the person’ on the boat. For that, she promised to pay them double.

Nora understood what her mother meant. With the tragic end looming in her mind, she trembled in trepidation. She couldn't imagine the consequences if she were sold to the Happ Harpers.

Unless she was dead, she could never escape that place.

She burst into tears and began to struggle more frantically.

Just then, the human trafficker slammed the trunk shut, sealing her in darkness.

Nora despaired and fainted.

Bessie remained oblivious, leaving with a smug expression.

She had to hurry to the front gate to see Nora off.

Once the plan succeeded, she would become the mother-in-law of the president of the Carlson Group. She would have endless wealth and countless gold necklaces. Those noblewomen in Meawood City would never dare look down on her again.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
