The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

‘Damn it! Who the hell invited these meddling reporters?’ Lula cursed inwardly.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of Harriet watching with

amusement from the opposite table.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

‘It's her! Harriet orchestrated all of this!’ Lula thought.

She believed that Harriet wanted her to be disgusted by Marc and lose everything.

Lula clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her face was also contorted with anger.

Vernon couldn’t bear the relentless harassment from these reporters any longer. In a flash, he rushed forward and snatched a camera from one of the journalists, smashing it onto the ground while shouting, No more photos!”

For a moment, there was silence, but it was quickly replaced by even greater commotion. Who would let such big news slip away?

Vernon couldn’t reason with those reporters, who were determined to dig up a blockbuster story. He could only leave in frustration.

The reporters redirected their attention toward Lula, eager to uncover the relationship between her and Vernon. The citizens of Meawood City loved scandals like this.

Lula glared at Harriet with resentment.

She ha

never experienced such embarrassment and humiliation in her entire life, and it was all because of Harriet. Her fists clenched again, and she tasted blood in her mouth.

In the end, she also left in a rage.

The restaurant was dimly lit, casting a fluctuating light on Harriet’s

Delbert said.

Harriet burst into laughter.

A breeze blew in through the window, lifting the hem of her dress. The fragrance from her body wafted through the air, and her voice was

soft.

“There’s no need for you to dirty your hands dealing with them. After all, given what has just happened, those reporters will definitely make up stories. Tomorrow’s headlines are bound to be spectacular,” she

said.

After a pause, she continued, “Besides, the hunt is more fun when you slowly corner your prey.”

Whenever it came to matters involving Harriet, Delbert couldn’t help but be impatient. But since Harriet had said so, he wouldn’t do anything else.

He had arranged for this because Vernon’s and Lula’s lives had been too easy lately. He wanted to help Harriet give them a blow.

Delbert tapped his fingers on his knee and spoke in a seductive tone. I’m just worried that those petty people might cause you trouble.”

He reached out, caressing Harriet’s cheek. “You don’t want me to catch you secretly looking at Vernon again.” They were so close to each other that they could almost hear each

other’s heartbeat.

Delbert’s lips were about to descend for a kiss, but Harriet pressed her finger against them.

“Wait! You've forgotten something!” Harriet said.
