The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 50 Unsettling Discoveries

Holding Harriet in his arms, Delbert felt a wave of calm wash over him.

Her sweet voice brought comfort to every inch of his being, causing a slight curl of his lips. “How is it going with Tucker?”

Delbert couldn’t resist running his fingers through Harriet’s hair, his eyes shining with delight. “| love Tucker, and Tucker loves me!”

Harriet raised her head, fixing her eyes on Delbert with a broad smile.

As if aware of Harriet’s gaze, Tucker shook off the water from its body and happily dashed toward her, splashing water droplets onto her face.

“Ah! Tucker, you've stained my skirt. Hmph, I’m angry now, and I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Harriet widened her eyes and puffed up her cheeks.

She pretended to be fierce, clenching her fists as she chased after Tucker.

Thinking its master was playing with him, Tucker darted away.

They ran around Delbert in joyful chaos.

After a while, when Harriet had enough fun, Delbert called her over and wiped the sweat off her forehead. His movements and expressions were filled with tenderness.

As Harriet drew closer to his face, her heart skipped a beat.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

How wonderful it would be if the person in his heart were her!

But she knew all too well that his tenderness and care were reserved for someone else.

She was merely a substitute for Yvonne.

Unaware of Harriet’s thoughts, Delbert leaned closer and blew gently into her ear.

Harriet blushed and squirmed.

“| have something interesting to show you,” said Delbert.

“Hooray!” Harriet raised her face, her smile filled with pure innocence.

Delbert took out the newspaper and showed it to her.

It detailed the recent events surrounding the Munoz family, complete with pictures and text.

Earlier that day, when Clifton returned home, he found himself surrounded by reporters from major media outlets. They bombarded him with questions about tax evasion.

A heated argument between Clifton and Bessie ensued. Bessie passed out and was rushed to the hospital. But the turmoil didn’t end there.

The commotion in the Munoz family caught the attention of authorities. After gathering substantial evidence, law enforcement officers swiftly sealed off the Munoz Group, freezing all its assets.

Clifton was summoned to the police station.

All of this unfolded exactly as Harriet had planned.

She anticipated every step of the way.

The only disappointment was that she couldn’t witness Bessie’s

reaction upon learning that the person on the island was not Nora but

her.

Harriet felt regret that she wasn’t there to see Bessie faint at the realization and guilt that she had sold Nora to a trafficker. Lost in her thoughts, Harriet absentmindedly put away the newspaper.

Delbert leaned in closer and chuckled. “Harriet, who do you think orchestrated all of this?”

His hands roamed playfully over her body, and before Harriet could react, he successfully retrieved her phone.

Just as he was about to unlock it, a call came in.
