The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Desperation 

Bessie picked up the silver needle and headed toward the sack. 

Nora’s heart filled with joy as she recognized her mother’s voice. But 

as soon as Harriet’s name was mentioned, a sudden realization hit 

her. 

She remembered how she had failed to trap Harriet and gotten 

ensnared instead. 

‘Is Harriet really retarded?’ 

Before she could make sense of it all, a sudden jolt of pain surged through her. 

“Die, you wretch!” 

With a vicious expression, Bessie stabbed the sack repeatedly. 

She thought it would devastate Harriet, but little did she know that it was her daughter, whom she had always doted on, suffering the final 

blow. 

Bessie became somewhat manic, and she began cursing the 

deceased Miriam. 

Inside the sack, Nora was in unbearable pain. Tears streamed down 

her pale face. 

She wanted to scream, telling her mother that she was inside. 

But her mouth had been taped shut by Harriet, and her hands and feet were bound. Unable to break free, she could only squirm desperately, trying to avoid the falling silver needle.

But her struggle only served to infuriate Bessie further. 

Bessie directed all her hatred for Harriet and Miriam onto the silver needle, only to inflict harm on her own daughter. 

The human trafficker rushed over to stop her. 

“My goodness! Mrs. Munoz, you’re killing her. If she dies, how can we make any money then?” 

Bessie came to her senses, dropping the silver needle and taking a 

breath. 

Nora had been severely injured and was barely alive. The sack was already besmeared with blood. 

Shortly after, Bessie and the human trafficker threw the sack into the trunk. 

Before the human traffickers left, she ordered them to ‘take good care of the person’ on the boat. For that, she promised to pay them double. 

Nora understood what her mother meant. With the tragic end looming in her mind, she trembled in trepidation. 

She couldn’t imagine the consequences if she were sold to the Happ 

Harpers. 

Unless she was dead, she could never escape that place. 

She burst into tears and began to struggle more frantically.
