The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice novel Chapter 5

“In…” 

Harriet giggled, deliberately drawing out the suspense to pique the curiosity of Clifton and the others. 

“Where?” 

The three conniving people chorused in unison. 

Clifton, Bessie, and Nora were all in a state of anxiety. 

Despite the Munoz family managing to stand firm in Meawood City, they had been struggling financially for some time. Apart from the substantial wealth left by Harriet’s mother, their only hope lay in the marriage alliance with the Carlson family. 

Unfortunately, the bridegroom was Delbert, the least favored son of the Carlson family. 

Thus, Clifton was not keen on marrying off his youngest daughter, Nora, who still held some value for him. 

Nora came up with a brilliant plan to have her foolish sister marry Delbert in her place. 

Now under the expectant gazes of the three, Harriet blinked, grinned, and clapped her hands to sing. 

“Incy-wincy spider climbed up the water spout…” 

“Are you kidding me?” 

Clifton, filled with rage, grabbed a bowl and hurled it at the still singing Harriet. 

This kind of thing happened quite often in this house. 

Usually, Harriet would be frightened, cowering and trembling under the table, while Nora and Bessie would mock her. 

But this time, Harriet didn’t dodge. Instead, she allowed the bowl to hit her forehead, causing a gash that started bleeding profusely.
