The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 40 Punishment

The servant covered her forehead, trembling as she delivered the message. “Mr. Delbert has returned with Miss Harriet, and he demanded your presence.”

“Mr. Delbert is back? Just in time!” Colleen’s face brightened. She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to deal with Harriet, but now, an unexpected opportunity had presented itself.

She believed that once she leveraged her long-standing service and Milton’s trust, Delbert would have to punish Harriet and make it right for her.

Harriet was just a fool unfavored by Delbert anyway.

Colleen got carried away with these thoughts and smiled triumphantly.

‘Harriet, just wait for your demise!’ She thought viciously.

Colleen got up and hurried to the hall.

As soon as she arrived and laid eyes on Delbert, she pinched her thigh hard, forcing tears to well up in her eyes. She approached him and cried out, “Mr. Delbert, you have to uphold justice for me.”

However, her voice lured a colossal creature, causing it to lunge at

her.

Frightened by the glint in its blue eyes, Colleen screamed and fell to the ground. Her comical appearance elicited laughter from onlookers.

“Hahaha! Old hag, scared much?”

Harriet jumped out, hands on her hips, proudly observing Colleen’s sorry look. Only then did Colleen recognize the ferocious beast as the mastiff kept by Delbert. This beast devoured people.

The realization nearly drove Colleen to tears and caused her to shake all over. “Tucker, come back!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Harriet was pleased with Tucker’s loyal protection. With a wave of her hand, the fierce animal transformed into an adorable pet. Wagging its tail, Tucker trotted over to Harriet, allowing her to rub its head. Colleen’s mouth twitched. She couldn't find words for quite some time.

Could anyone tell her why this fierce beast obeyed Harriet?

Delbert looked at Harriet with adoration, admiring her pride.

But when his gaze fell upon Colleen, it turned icy.

“Well, what do you want me to do for you?”

Colleen pressed her hand against her chest, still trembling from the fright.

Darting a venomous glare at Harriet, she pointed at Opal and implored in tears. “Mr. Delbert, you were not at home earlier. Miss Harriet was

instigated by this maid to bully me and injure my leg. Please uphold

Justice

Opal was annoyed by Colleen’s accusation. Her chest heaving, she wanted to argue but was stopped by Harriet. Harriet smiled slyly, signaling her to wait and watch the fun.

Bewitched by the light in Harriet’s eyes, Opal halted in her tracks.

“Oh? You mean Harriet bullied you?”

Delbert smirked with interest, his attitude inscrutable.

“Indeed, this should be made right. Guards!”

Delbert waved his hand and narrowed his eyes.

But what happened next was beyond everyone’s expectations.
