The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Harriet glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Green. “I’m a petty person.”

Delbert chuckled, turning to instruct Cory. “Take care of the rest.”

“Yes, sir!” Cory nodded and went to carry out the order.

Mr. and Mrs. Green were dragged away by the bodyguards. The music was played, and the Mirror Ball began. Delbert stepped forward and grabbed Harriet’s wrist. “I just did you a big favor. Aren’t you going to thank me?” Harriet stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously. “I never asked you to help me.”

“Anyway, I’ve helped you, and you should thank me,” Delbert playfull

said.

Harriet looked around. Luckily, the ball had begun and everyone was dancing, so they didn’t notice what was happening over there.

“What reward do you want?” Harriet asked.

“Dance with me!” Delbert replied, wrapping his arm around Harriet’s waist and yanking her into his arms, Harriet bumped into his chest and looked up at his deep eyes.

Her coyness captivated Delbert.

He looked at her blushing ears and smiled.

Harriet was as shy as ever.

“Don't tell me you don’t know how to dance,” Delbert teased her. “Let's see who the terrible dancer is!” Harriet said, putting her hand on Delbert’s shoulder.

Her other hand hung in the air and was grabbed by Delbert.

“It seems that you don’t quite know how to dance,” he joked.

“| can do it!” Harriet firmly said.

She was eager to present those dance moves stored in her mind. Delbert was impressed by her determined look.

He followed Harriet to the center of the dance floor. Amid the music, her dress fluttered in the air.

Delbert lifted her and spun her in the air. Their moves were beautiful. After the Mirror Ball ended, the banquet also came to an end.

Harriet waited at the entrance while Delbert went to get her car.

Suddenly, a beam of headlights shone from afar, dazzling her.

She looked up and saw a car darting toward her. It showed no signs of slowing down.

Harriet was taken aback. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Harriet!”

In the nick of time, Delbert rushed over and grabbed her. They rolled on the ground as the car zoomed past. Delbert's arms were warm, but Harriet felt cold all over.

“Are you all right? Did you get hurt?” Delbert asked.

Delbert was unscathed. He sat up and examined Harriet for any injuries.

If Harriet was hurt, Delbert would make the driver pay with his life.
