The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 206

Just then a male voice sounded out of place

“Haret” Vemon called out from not far away.

He slowly approached Harriet, completely ignoring Delbert’s presence.

He was now the head of the Morton family and had no reason to be afraid of Delbert anymore.

With a gentle smile on his face, he acted as if he and Harriet were close. The guests locked at them curiously. When Vernon walked up to Harriet he pretended to be surprised and glanced at Delbert.

“Mr. Delbert, you’re here too. You know, | used to accompany Harriet to Nora’s birthday parties,” he said.

Then he shifted the topic and deliberately mentioned Harriet’s dress.” This dress looks quite expensive. Did Mr. Delbert buy it for you?
