The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice

Chapter 7 A Grand Entrance

It was seven o’clock in the evening.

A fully-dressed Harriet was led downstairs by Bessie. They were ready to attend the engagement party at the Golden Joy Hotel.

Harriet suddenly stopped halfway, refusing to go any further. She pointed at Nora and pouted.

“You can’t dress up so beautifully. Otherwise, Delbert won’t fancy me, and I won’t be able to marry into the Carlson family and live a comfortable life.”

Nora was annoyed by the fuss, but then she found some truth in Harriet’s words.

Nora was lauded as the top beauty in Meawood City, and she outshone everyone else at every party.

If she appeared so dazzling at the engagement party, Milton might despise the plain-looking Harriet and choose Nora as the bride. That would be disastrous.
