Chapter 207
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon
Vernon was scared stiff, unable to utter a word.
âIgnore him, and letâs go!â Harriet urged, unwilling to argue with Vernon.
She held onto Delbertâs arm and walked away.
Vernon gritted his teeth and watched them leave with a vicious look.
âHarriet, this isnât over!â He thought.
Because of Delbertâs arrival, the banquet reached its climax.
Many young ladies in Meawood City who admired Delbert gathered around him, intentionally squeezing out Harriet, the rightful wife, who was in their way.
Harriet wasnât upset. She stood not far away, quietly watching Delbert in the crowd.
When she saw him being questioned by those women, she found his frustrated expression amusing.
Although she admitted that Delbert was indeed handsome, rich, and smart, it didnât mean that every woman would flock to him.
In an inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall, Nora found that Harriet was finally alone.
She winked at an attendant next to her and whispered, âDo it as | told you, putting this drug in her drink. Remember?â
âUnderstood!â responded the attendant.
He took the drug that Nora had brought from the black-clothed man, As he walked, the attendant sprinkled the drug, which was said to be colorless and tasteless but could make even the most chaste women actively seek pleasure, into the drink in his hand. After it dissolved, he gently shook it a few times, mixed it with other drinks, and put it on a tray.
Harriet was sipping her drink while looking at Delbert when suddenly a manâs voice came from behind her.
With a smile on his face, the attendant approached her and handed her the drugged drink.
âMiss, have a drink,â he said.
Harriet turned and saw that it was an attendant..
âThank you!â she responded.
She took the drink from the attendantâs hand. Just as she was about to take a sip, she caught a strange smell in the drink.
Even though this scent was barely noticeable and almost undetectable, it couldnât escape Harrietâs nose.
iet believed in her sense of smell. She was sure that the drink had n drugged by this attendant, who didnât look like a good person.
e still remembered that in her past life, when Nora was planning to send her to another manâs bed, Nora had drugged her.
If Delbert hadnât been there to save her, her chastity would have been tarnished.
But she was confused at that time, tricked by Nora and Vernonâs words, and misunderstood that Delbert wanted to insult her.
She hated him bitterly, and she ended up sending him to prison.
In this life, there was another drugged drink.
It was hard not to associate this incident with Nora.
âNora, you want to use the same trick again? Fat chance!â She thought, narrowing her eyes.
Her lips emitted a fascinating glow under the warm lighting, but the cold light in her eyes was chilling.
âSince Nora wanted to ruin me, why not beat her at her own game?â She thought.
