The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 199

Next week was Nora’s birthday. She vowed to host a grand and extravagant birthday party, inviting all the celebrities in Meawood City.

At the party, Nora planned to tarnish Harriet’s reputation, branding her as an infamous adulteress who had an affair after marriage.

Then Delbert would divorce her and cease his protection.

Harriet would be alone and helpless. By then, Nora could resort to all means to humiliate her.

Nora also thought about hiring trolls to spread favorable topics for her, which would help her turn the tide. Neither would she spare Lula, the culprit who ruined her face.

She already had a plan to expose the scandalous affairs between Lula and Vernon to Marc. Her enemies would all fall from grace.

Unbeknownst to her, Clifton was planning to sell her to an elderly man.

However, this action caused the stocks of the Munoz Group to plummet, even more severely than when the scandal between Noral and Vernon first erupted.

The Munoz Group’s funds were already strained, and after several incidents of tax evasion and stock market crashes, it was on the brink of collapse.

Fearing Delbert, Clifton didn’t dare to go to the island and ask Harriet for Miriam’s legacy. He could only repeatedly call Nora, requiring her to resolve the crisis on her own.

However, Nora’s phone had been off. When he asked Bessie, she simply evaded his questions.

Due to the stock market crash and the negative public opinion, more than thirty hotels under the Munoz Group closed within just a few days.

If there was no further capital inflow, the company would soon go bankrupt and face enormous debts. Clifton had no choice but to ask his friends for financial assistance. “Go away! Don’t come to my company. | have nothing to do with the Munoz Group. Leave!”

After much persuasion, Clifton finally managed to meet his previous business partner. Back then, they helped each other and even swore brotherhood.

However, upon hearing about the situation with the Munoz Group, the partner outright denied their relationship and kicked him out.

Clifton’s other friends also treated him terribly, refusing to engage with him and driving him away.

They all shied away from socializing with him.

In this society, public opinion was paramount.

If anyone were to be associated with the Munoz Group, which was at the center of public opinion, it would lead to a lot of trouble. As capitalists, they would never engage in such a loss-making deal.

Fortunately, Clifton eventually found a friend willing to help him.

“Thank you, Mr. Russell,” Clifton said gratefully..

But the demands put forth by the person next made his face turn pale.
