Chapter 316
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon
âTo watch her?â Harriet pointed to Lula, not understanding Delbertâs intention.
âOf course not! Lula alone is not good enough. Just wait for a moment,â Delbert said. âTrust me! It will be the best show.â
Sure enough, Vernon arrived shortly after.
He had made an appointment with Lula to have dinner together.
But as soon as Vernon entered the door, he caught sight of Harriet.
And Delbert was sitting next to her.
Vernon was surprised, wondering if it was a coincidence or intentional.
Harriet was happily chatting with Delbert.
âVernon!â Lula called out, waving at him.
Since Marc stopped looking for her, she had become closer to Ve But just as she was about to walk over, Vernon bypassed her and stood in front of Harriet.
âH-Ms. Harriet, we meet again!â he said.
âVernon, itâs you! What a small world!â Harriet responded, looking up at Vernon.
Hiding behind her smile was deep disgust.
It was a shame that she had failed to trap Vernon and Lula at Noraâs birthday party.
Vernon felt that Harriet had completely changed.
He could tell it from what happened at the party.
Harriet used to look at him with sparkling eyes and admiration.
But he pushed her away, and she married Delbert. Since then, she had never looked at him with admiration again.
âIndeed!â Vernon forced a smile, trying to look Harriet in the eye.
But there was only a haze in her eyes.
She had indeed changed, becoming steady and calculative. She was not as innocent and naive as before. She even devised a trap to ensnare Nora and him.
If he hadnât woken up early that day and escaped with Lula in time, he would probably have been sentenced to life imprisonment alongside Nora.
He couldn't imagine that Harriet had become so terrifying.
âHar...â
Lula didnât expect to see Harriet and Delbert either.
She originally wanted to call out Harrietâs name, but when she sa Delbertâs stern face, she remembered his ruthless means. She shivered and changed the appellation.
âMr. and Mrs. Carlson, | didnât expect to see you guys here,â she said, unhappily glancing at Harriet.
She believed that her meeting with Vernon would soon be exposed to Marc. She had to prepare herself in advance.
âVernon, let's not disturb Mr. and Mrs. Carlson. Letâs go back,â Lula said.
