Chapter 188
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon
Aside from knowing that Joe was the boss of King, Delbert had very little information about him and couldn't find any other traces through investigation.
Moreover, Kingâs condition for restoring Noraâs appearance was a 20 % stake in the Munoz Group, and Harriet also wanted this 20% stake.
In this world, there were no such coincidences. Delbert was certain that King wanted the 20% stake in the Munoz Group for Harriet.
The more he thought about it, the tighter Delbertâs fists clenched.
After half an hour, Delbert saw on the monitor that Molly had slowly opened her eyes, and then he left the monitoring room.
âGreat! Molly, you finally woke up.â Harriet rushed over to hug her, overjoyed.
Molly opened her blurry eyes, seemingly unaware of her surroundings. She stared blankly at the ceiling with no expression on her face.
Harriet realized that something was wrong and quickly turned to ask Joe, âWhatâs going on?â
After examining Molly, Joe said, âDonât worry! This is a normal phenomenon. Her body is weak and canât handle the effects of B-
type medicine. She'll be fine after a while.â
With Joeâs reassurance, Harriet breathed a sigh of relief.
Harriet told Molly to rest well, covering her with a blanket.
Joe checked his watch and said, âMiss Harriet, | should go now.â
âOkay. Thank you for your help,â Harriet said.
âWe don't need to be so formal with each other,â Joe smiled.
After Joe left, Harriet looked at Molly, who was still staring blankly at the ceiling, and then her gaze fell on the apple on the bedside table. Her intuition told her that Delbert must have started to suspect her. She wondered if she should tell him the truth or continue to conceal it. Harriet was full of conflict.
She glanced at her phone. It had been over an hour since Delbert left, and he still hadnât returned.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door suddenly swung open, and Marc walked in.
âHas Molly woken up?â he asked, excited to see Molly awake.
He immediately went to call the doctor.
Harriet only gave him a dark look. This scumbag, when Molly was scared and alone in the hospital, went to accompany Lula, and now he was pretending to be affectionate here.
As soon as the doctor finished examining Molly and determined that she was okay, Delbert arrived with a bucket of KFC.
âDelbert, what took you so long? Iâm starving,â Harriet grumbled.
She rubbed her stomach, looking pitiful.
â| got delayed on the way, sorry,â Delbert smiled, ruffling her hair.
Seeing Molly was alright, Delbert escorted Harriet out, leaving space for Marc and Molly.
Cory was nowhere in sight, and Delbert drove Harriet back to the Upon entering the dark living room, Delbert hugged Harriet from behind.
âHarriet, what can | do? | want you,â he said without turning on the lights.
His husky voice resonated in her ears, making Harriet shiver. Delbert lifted her and headed toward the bedroom.
