The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice

Chapter 172

Harriet appeared to ponder for a moment before naively saying, ” Milton wanted to give me 5% of the Carlson Group’s shares, but I declined.”

Delbert seemed to relax, and he pulled her into a tight embrace.

She looked up, dazed by his affectionate gaze.

He gently lifted her and positioned her on his lap.

Then, Harriet heard Delbert whisper in her ear, “If you want those shares, they’re yours. You don’t need to worry about my feelings.”

He didn’t want her to make sacrifices for his sake.

And through that, he could tell that Milton was testing both Harriet

and himself.
