The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice
Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

Delbert’s cold and foreboding voice suddenly echoed in the private room, sending shivers down everyone’s spine. 

This rule was well understood by Marc. 

It was a pact made by the four close friends when they decided to start a business together: if one of them made a mistake, they would have to drink until the 

others were satisfied as part of their apology. 

Over the years, they had always adhered to this rule, so naturally, he wouldn’t break it today just for Lula. 

Marc turned to look at Lula, his eyes cold. 

Lula felt a surge of resentment and intense turmoil within her. 

She bit her lower lip unwillingly. 

She felt that Marc’s care and indulgence towards her had waned. 

In the past, if she suffered the slightest grievance, he would seek justice for her, no matter who the other party was. 

But just then, when she pretended to be on the verge of vomiting and fell into his arms, he instinctively looked towards Molly. 

A woman’s sixth sense was terrifyingly accurate. 

She felt that Marc might be developing feelings for Molly. 

No! She must get rid of both Harriet and Molly! 

Lula’s clenched fingers relaxed before she continued to pour herself another drink. 

“Fine, I’ll continue apologizing. Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, what happened this morning is my fault. I’m sorry!” 

After saying that, she tilted her head back to drink it up, as if in defiance. 

A bottle of liquor was quickly emptied. 

Then she grabbed a second bottle to continue drinking. 

Although the liquor wasn’t very strong, Lula’s reckless drinking made it hard for 

her to bear even two bottles. 

Of course, for Lula, who had been frequenting bars and clubs since a young age,

up appearances. 

As she drank, she pinched her brow, showing an expression of discomfort and grievance. 

Marc clenched his teeth and looked at Harriet with an unfriendly gaze. 

But Harriet remained indifferent, continuing to watch Lula without any intention of stopping her. 

Marc gripped his fingers tightly, wanting to stop Lula several times but held back. 

After all, the brotherhood’s rules couldn’t be broken. 

He had done that with Yuri and Sean once before, but it wasn’t serious and ended after two glasses. 

However, Lula had drunk two bottles in succession. Harriet didn’t understand their rules, so she remained indifferent. He could understand that, but what about Delbert? 

After finishing the second bottle of liquor and seeing that neither Harriet nor Delbert showed any signs of stopping her, Lula gritted her teeth and reached for a third bottle. 

Pretending to feel unwell in her stomach and barely able to endure it, she 

frowned in pain and looked at Marc with a pained expression, trying to get him to protect her. 

After a glance at Harriet, who was quietly watching Lula with her head tilted, Marc clenched his teeth. He reached out to grab the liquor to drink with Lula but ignored the hurt look in Molly’s eyes. 

“Enough!” 

Nora knew it was her time to act. Pretending to dislike seeing Lula bullied, she immediately stood up from her seat and snatched the bottle from Lula’s hand. With a ‘snap‘, she harshly smashed it at Harriet’s feet. 

The liquor splashed out and wet her trouser legs. 

But Harriet didn’t care at all. Her eyes were bright with a hint of malice. 

Nora’s true colors were finally revealed. 

Harriet’s silence wasn’t meant to punish Lula. It was to lure out Nora hiding behind Lula! 

Now that Nora couldn’t hold back any longer and had fallen into the trap, she
