Chapter 111
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon
Delbert cast a cold glance at the servant who had come to report. Displeasure was evident in his eyes.
The servant felt weak and almost collapsed onto the ground.
âSir, she arrived in Mr. Welchâs car!â he stammered.
The security guards and servants on the island were familiar with the cars and people. Except for the Carlson and Munoz families, as well as a few individuals known to Delbert, no one else was allowed to pass.
Lula drove in Marcâs car that day, which allowed her to slip through.
Given the servantâs respectful address and demeanor toward Delbert, Lula quickly realized that the handsome man before her was none other than Delbert, the rumored disfigured and vicious son of the Carlson family.
She was rooted to the spot in shock.
Now, she finally understood why Nora had made a spectacle of herself at the engagement party.
Who wouldnât want such a handsome man as their fiancé? But Nora, despite having the opportunity, foolishly gave up this exceptional man to Harriet.
âMr. Delbert, whatâs happening here?â Lula said, reacting quickly.
She adopted a soft and vulnerable demeanor, pointing pitifully at her mother, who was being restrained by Cory.
Harriet merely observed her performance with a cold gaze. âCan't you Delbert didnât want to waste time engaging with Lula. Harriet, hands on her hips and full of confidence, responded on his behalf.
âLula, help me. Mr. Delbert wants to kick her out!â Colleen said fearfully, as if she had seen her savior.
She hoped that Lula could win over Delbert and save her from being expelled from Meawood City.
Lula patted the back of Colleenâs hand, signaling her to calm down.
Then she shot a glare at Harriet before turning her gaze back to Delbert, her eyes filled with infatuation.
âMr. Delbert, my mother has served you for many years. She deserves some recognition, even if she has done something wrong.
How can you just randomly dismiss her?â she said.
âIf this gets out, it wonât reflect well on your reputation, especially since you have just inherited the Carlson Group.â
Her face grew increasingly pitiful, and she even began to sob as if she had been greatly wronged.
Her words subtly criticized Delbertâs decision to dismiss Colle suggesting that it could negatively impact his reputation.
But Delbert remained indifferent.
He never cared about othersâ opinions. The only person he cared about was Harriet.
Harrietâs anger flared, and she glared at Lula, retorting, âThen let it spread! | will tell everyone how Colleen, this wicked servant, bullied me at home. There are surveillance cameras in this villa.â
Despite her seemingly naive manner of speaking, her logic was clear and her reasoning sound, leaving Colleen and Lula without a Lula had always looked down on Harriet, but Harriet was now clinging. to Delbert and sneering at her provocatively.
Burning with jealousy, Lula clenched her fists and scowled.
She had always been pampered by Marc, to the point where even Marcâs wife, Molly, had to yield to her. How could she bear such humiliation? Even though she knew deep down that her mother was capable of bullying Harriet, she refused to admit it.
âMr. Delbert, there must be some misunderstanding here. Perhaps my mother was just joking with Miss Harriet,â Lula said, trying to defend her mother.
