The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 2 Help Me

Harriet sneered inwardly.

In her previous life, she had been foolish and had refused to marry Delbert after hearing false rumors about him. She had cried and made a scene, only to end up being drugged by Bessie and sent to Delbert’s island that very night. But now she was smarter and knew how to deal with the scheming mother and daughter.

For the time being, she would play dumb and play along.

Acold, bloodthirsty look flashed through her watery eyes, but Harriet concealed it well.

She turned to Bessie and Nora, speaking with a silly smile. “Mom, Nora, do you think | look good like this?”

Nora flashed a jealous look when she saw Harriet’s delicate face after the makeup was removed.

She squeezed her fingers and hypocritically praised, “Yes, you are.”

Nora forgot that before Harriet became retarded, she had been a beautiful girl with superior intelligence.

But now, in everyone’s mind, the eldest daughter of the Munoz family was nothing but an ugly and useless person. Nora, on the other hand, became the top beauty in Meawood City and a genius in medicine.

“Harriet, you are beautiful, and you should marry Delbert.”

Harriet giggled with their praise, seemingly delighted.

Her quick agreement left Nora doubtful.

“But what about Vernon?”

Nora asked intentionally. “Don’t you like Vernon the most?”

Harriet pouted as if she were angry. “You just said | look good. If I’m so beautiful, | should marry Delbert because | want to enjoy a life surrounded by servants.”

Seeing her foolish look, Nora and Bessie couldn't help but sneer.

At the end of the day, Harriet was a fool, thinking that she was going to have a good life with the Carlson family. She didn’t know that she was only going to suffer.

Originally, they had planned to drug Harriet and send her to Delbert's island.

It was only great that she agreed, saving them a lot of trouble.

Night fell, and all was quiet.

Harriet lay in bed, contemplating.

She remembered the night before she was forced to marry Delbert.

Her father, Bessie, Nora, and Vernon had all come to ask where her mother’s inheritance was. The people around her were all after that sum of money.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn’t know where her mother had hidden it, but that didn’t matter. If they wanted the money, she would lead them to hell.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. ‘Someone is coming.’ Although the footsteps were light, she keenly sensed them. Harriet got up quietly, ready to shoot the silver needle her mother had given her.

Her mother, Miriam Bass, was the top doctor in Meawood City and had passed on her incredible medical skills to Harriet when she was little.

Because her intelligence was gone, she couldn’t inherit her mother’s skills back then. Now that she had regained her intelligence, she would reclaim it.

Just as the silver needle was about to strike, a figure leaped in through the window and pinned her down to the bed.

Harriet instinctively struggled, but in the next moment, she halted her movements because the man’s solid embrace and breath brought her a familiar feeling. Her eyes became misty.

She figured out who he was. The man attached his lips to her ear and narrowed his eyes. His breathing was ragged, and his voice was deep and seductive.

“Woman, help me!”
