Was there a connection between the two incidents? It seemed as if they were both targeted at her. Harmonia bit her lower lip and clenched her fists slightly.

The police officer nodded politely at them and said, “Rest well. Just let the locals know if you need anything.”

The locals were very hospitable as well, and they had even prepared supper for them.

Harmonia was lost in her thoughts and did not pick up her cutlery.

“Don’t overthink. It will just give you a headache,” Dimas, who was calm and seemingly unaffected, uttered as if nothing had happened.

There was a simple wooden table in the quiet bedroom, and the two sat down around it. Harmonia looked up at him and tightened her grip around the spoon in her hand. Dimas glanced at her as well and said in an unwavering tone, “Since there’s no evidence of foul play, it must have been premeditated.”

“Bring it on, then.” Harmonia curled her lips, showing no hint of fear at all.

Dimas chuckled. There were thousands of heiresses in

    “Yes.” Dimas smiled and nodded in agreement. Harmonia widened her eyes in bewilderment. The bus conductor walked toward the back after saying that they were a perfect match. Dimas met Harmonia’s gaze and was about to speak up when Harmonia, with a knowing smile, intercepted, “I know what you’re about to say, Mr. Martinez. It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble.”She still looked absolutely beautiful even though her smile and friendliness concealed hypocritical intentions. Dimas squinted and responded with a smile. A childish voice suddenly sounded behind them, “Mommy, there’s a beautiful fairy sitting in front of me and a handsome fairy sitting in front of you.” Harmonia was naturally the beautiful fairy, and Dimas was naturally the handsome fairy. Harmonia burst into laughter while Dimas was dumbfounded. Had he been crowned with the title of a handsome fairy?The bus drove smoothly back to the city from the scenic area. The journey would take about four hours even without

    A hand suddenly emerged from the dense smoke, gripping her wrist tightly! “Harmonia, wake up!” Dimas jumped into the bus, cradled her in his arms, and leaped off, just in the nick of time.Boom! There was a deafening and resounding explosion behind them. A massive fireball surged into the azure sky. The rear end of the bus split into pieces instantaneously, leaving only the front end eroded by fire!The police and doctors had already arrived, and an ambulance was en route! Harmonia’s breathing grew weaker. “The oxygen tank!” Dimas roared. The doctor handed an oxygen tank to him swiftly. Dimas quickly put the mask against Harmonia’s mouth and nose to deliver oxygen to her. “Harmonia, wake up!” After an indeterminate period, Harmonia’s breathing started to ease. She furrowed her brows and groggily opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the string of redwood beads on his wrist. It seemed as if she had returned to that day at the Terran family’s mansion.Dimas? -Th

    Was she keeping a safe distance from him? Was he that dangerous? No matter how he looked at it, he should still be much safer compared to his nephew, right?Dimas chuckled and said, “Why don’t you treat me to dinner when we return to Nilus City, then?”Harmonia looked at him without answering. “I thought you wanted to thank me, Miss Marsh?”Although a meal was a small matter, Harmonia would rather give him a big red envelope directly. So, she said, “Mr. Martinez, why don’t I give you a red envelope instead?” That would be much more practical!Dimas replied confidently, “I’m not short of money. I prefer food!” Harmonia was dumbfounded. Dimas then added, “Besides, I want to go and see my unruly nephew. Do you want to come with me, Miss Marsh?”Harmonia frowned and subconsciously shook her head as she responded, “I won’t disturb your bonding time with your nephew.”Dimas laughed. The evident danger was becoming even more terrifying. “That’s right. Your mental health is more

    Harmonia walked toward the door and looked outside through the peephole. Dimas?Harmonia opened the door, looked at him, and asked, “Mr. Martinez?”Dimas handed a document to her. Harmonia was puzzled and asked, “What’s this?”Dimas responded, “The inspection report for the bus.”Harmonia quickly took the document and examined it carefully. There were no issues with the bus engine, and the fire was not caused by the hot weather or high temperatures. The fire had been caused by white phosphorus, just as she had suspected. White phosphorus had a low ignition point and produced thick smoke when burned. At the time, there had not been much sparks in the bus, but the air had been quickly filled with thick smoke which obscured everything. How could something like white phosphorus appear in the scenic area of Sea Hill? This was undoubtedly a targeted attack. Harmonia returned the inspection report to Dimas. “Aren’t you afraid?” Dimas asked. He was well aware that Harmonia was clever

    “Everyone in the field of architecture knows Mr. Peter Rowe,” Ben looked toward Harmonia as soon as his words fell. Harmonia never expected that the expert in ancient civilization language would turn out to be her grandfather. Her grandfather had never mentioned it before. However, she did not reveal any emotions and kept everything to herself because no one knew that she was Peter’s granddaughter. Harmonia and Ben locked eyes. Sure enough, Ben was observing her. Was he testing her now because she had brought the ancient civilization language script that she had copied to test him?“Is this the only symbol engraved on the mural?” Ben asked again. Harmonia remained calm and nodded. “What can a single symbol express?”“Perhaps this symbol has many meanings?”“That’s indeed a possibility.” Ben added, “Miss Marsh, can you leave this symbol here with me?”“Of course.” Harmonia agreed.“Is the mural engraved with the ancient civilization language currently at your place, Miss Ma

    He appeared somewhat surprised and seemed to think that it could not be just because of this reason alone. Harmonia curled her lips and said, “You can disguise your appearance and identity and even change your gender if you want to, but the callus on the area of your hand between your thumb and index finger is something that you can never remove permanently.”Upon hearing Harmonia’s words, Ben opened up his palm immediately and looked at the callus on his hand. He did not expect that Harmonia would be so observant!“Those men were all killed with a headshot. Such precise marksmanship can only come from years of practice!” Ben burst into laughter when he heard this. Having roamed the world for half his life, he had unexpectedly met his downfall at the hands of a woman!Harmonia’s slender fingers tapped the tabletop lightly, producing a sound that made one’s heart thump. She said, “Mr. Carter, it’s your turn to answer my questions now. You were the one who arranged for Blaze to at

    Harmonia smiled faintly and left without waiting for Ben’s reaction.“What did you say? Harmonia, what did you say?!” Even though Ben had initially been calm, his expression underwent a dramatic transformation after Harmonia said those words. He was fearful and nervous, and his face was full of disbelief. “Mr. Carter, you’re an expert in history and the director of Seadale Museum. How can someone of your status and position be confined in Sea Hill Prison? I’ve provided funding to have you sent to Riverbank Prison. It can’t be helped. After all, I’m a billionaire.” Harmonia’s tone was light and airy. She knew that Ben was calm because he must have made some arrangements in advance. He would definitely be released from prison soon after she left Sea Hill.Therefore, she had to make some arrangements to ensure that he would not be able to get out. Riverbank Prison was known for its impenetrability, and it was a steel cage that even the privileged could not escape from! Ben was aware

    Just as Harmonia was speculating, the car window next to her was rolled down. “Monia,” Absalom called out to her. Harmonia was dumbfounded. He was really here? She pretended not to hear him and walked outside directly. “Monia!” The car door opened, and Absalom’s urgent voice sounded, followed by a violent cough. He wanted to get out of the car to chase after her, but Holly stopped him from doing so.“What are you doing? Your wound was already torn open a second time, so haven’t you learned your lesson? Isn’t your own health and life important?” Holly was genuinely angry. The marital relationship between her and Felix had already deteriorated to the breaking point. She had initially endured it ignorantly for nearly thirty years and held on just for the sake of her two children’s dignity. However, Holly was angered to tears when she saw that Absalom did not seem to care about her at all.“Mom, I understand that my body is a gift from you, but Monia is truly very important to me.

    Quinn was startled. “W-what?”“I wasn't locked up here because I ruined your father's business and he is seeking revenge on me.”“Why are you locked up here, then?”Absalom frowned and replied, “It's complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a short time, but if I'm rescued, it means that there will be one more piece of evidence against your father.”Quinn bit her lower lip. She understood.If he were rescued, her father's actions of injuring him and imprisoning him would no longer be a secret.“You're his daughter, and once he falls, you might not be safe either.”Quinn hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now, Absalom's words weighed heavily on her heart.Even though her father had never cared about her and was always distant and cold toward her, and even though her sister bullied her since childhood, every word and action showing contempt toward her, they were her family, and that was something she couldn't change.Moonlight shone into the cellar throug

    Absalom froze in place while holding the snacks at the sound of those words. “She… She answered the call?” His heart felt a sharp pain that hurt a million times more than the wounds on his body.That one word ‘aunt’ was something he didn't want to hear but couldn't deny. They were together, weren't they?Quinn continued to disinfect his wounds, not noticing his expression as she went on and said, “Yes. I've already told her about you. Don't worry, they'll definitely come to rescue you!”“I'm familiar with the paths at home. If conditions permit, I'll guide you when the time comes.”He snapped back to reality, rejecting her without a second thought. “No need. You've done enough for me already by saving my life.”Quinn looked at him and said, “No. I have to see you alive and rescued before I can feel at ease.”“Why?” He asked.She was puzzled. “What do you mean why?”“No one cares about my life,” His eyes dimmed with sorrow.He even wondered if it would have been better if he

    Castell looked at her. His gaze was devoid of warmth but rather, it was as indifferent as cold water.“Tomorrow is your sister's assessment day, and I've been invited to Snow Manor.”Quinn nodded softly and asked obediently, “Is Nara confident that she will win?”Upon hearing this, Castell snorted with great dissatisfaction, “There's no such thing as losing among the Kenwoods! She will definitely be the winner!”Quinn shrank back in fear when she saw the ferocity in his eyes, and she did not dare to say another word. She simply nodded, forced a smile, and said, “In that case, I’ll stay at home and wait for Dad and Nara to come back victorious.”Only then did Castell nod begrudgingly.“Okay, go to sleep now.”Quinn waved to him and then turned to leave.The helicopter slowly ascended, gradually disappearing into the night.After Castell left, Quinn entered the room under Mrs. Clint's watchful eyes.After about an hour, Mrs. Clint entered the bedroom, made sure Quinn was asleep

    Madam Judd's tone was gentle yet firm.Nara was stunned.“That’s impossible! How could I get it wrong?! You must have made a mistake!”She gritted her teeth at the last sentence.Madam Judd chuckled and said, “All three of these are fake.”Nara had an incredulous expression as she shone the flashlight on them again.“The jade has been soaked in strong acid, impurities washed away, then injected with glue. The methods of counterfeiting are becoming more sophisticated, reaching a point where it's hard to tell real from fake. To discern the authenticity of jade, one needs keen eyesight and extensive experience to make judgments. Just because you've seen more and possess more jade doesn't mean you understand more. Do you understand now?”The proud Nara was embarrassed by Madam Judd and couldn't find a way to save herself from embarrassment for a moment. “Understood,” Harmonia nodded.Nara had to reluctantly say, “Understood.”Madam Judd then immediately began the lesson.Though

    She had an uncontrollable nosebleed as blood kept dripping from her nose. She hurriedly bent over, and the drops of blood fell into the sink. Despite the flow of water, it was still extremely alarming.Harmonia did not know what was wrong with her, but after about a minute, she managed to stop the bleeding. She frowned, suspecting that it might be due to heatiness. With about fifteen minutes until nine o'clock, she quickly changed her clothes and hurried toward the appraisal room.Even before the training began, Jenell had already made arrangements for preparations at Snow Manor in advance. The tools in the appraisal room were already prepared.Harmonia and Nara arrived successively.At nine o'clock, Jenell appeared.However, the person who appeared with Jenell shocked Harmonia! It was actually her!Jenell introduced, “This is the jade appraisal expert, Madam Judd.”Harmonia and Nara greeted her. “Madam Judd.”Madam Judd nodded, pretending not to recognize Harmonia.“Let

    Both Jasper and Nancy were dumbfounded. Dimas simply stood there with a strong, calm, and intimidating aura, which made people tremble with fear even without him losing his temper. Jasper and Nancy obediently admitted their mistakes. One was in his early twenties, and the other was about to become an adult, but here they were, behaving like kindergarten kids, loudly promising to be model siblings in the future.Harris laughed heartily, his face showing an expression of ‘even these two rascals have their days’.Coincidentally, Mac walked out.“What’s going on?”Harris immediately explained, “The siblings were quarreling, but their father isn't here right now, so the elder brother stepped in as a father figure to educate them properly!”Mac burst into laughter, “I don’t want to say too much, but you should quarrel less with Nancy. She's not in good health, so you should be more considerate toward her.”After Jasper calmed down, he also realized his mistake deeply. He was born w

    “Two people, two favors.” Two was two and could not be less. Harris failed to play dumb. “You’re really good at calculating!”However, he had no other choice. After all, he could not handle these two people on his own! His head would ache whenever they argued. “Okay, two favors it is, then!” Harris agreed. Dealing with those troublemakers really gave him a headache.“Tell me, what two things do you want me to do for you, then?” Dimas said calmly, “I’ll leave Monia’s safety in your hands in ten days.”Harris was taken aback. “Huh? Isn't that girl at Snow Manor? With your mother there, her safety should be absolutely guaranteed.”“I’m still worried.”“Why don't you take care of her safety yourself, then?”As he spoke, Harris counted his fingers. He suddenly came to a realization.“In ten days? Wouldn’t that be the day when Harmonia and Nara will be taking their assessment together?”Dimas nodded.“You're leaving the base?” Harris understood and asked.“Yes.”“Where are you

    ‘You’re really killing me.’Harmonia whispered goodnight to him again, then stuffed her cell phone under the pillow as she prepared to have a good sleep.Dimas, who was at the base, also put down his cell phone at the moment. He looked at the simple layout diagram carved on the bottom of the box and turned on his laptop immediately to reconstruct it. At the same time, he called Mac to investigate Castell's second daughter.At first, Mac thought Dimas was joking. Everyone knew Castell only had one daughter, Nara. How could there suddenly be another daughter? Dimas then told Mac about the content of the phone call Monia had received. Mac immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Before confirming whether Absalom was really in the wine cellar in Kenwood Mansion, he needed to confirm whether Castell really had a second daughter.After hanging up the phone, he acted quickly. Since she was a living person, there was no way she could not be traced.Mac's efficiency was

    The air seemed to freeze at this moment.The phone clearly displayed the ‘call in progress’ message, but it was as if it was affected by signal interference, and nothing could be heard until his cold voice broke the icy silence.“I will.”Harmonia heaved a sigh of relief, feeling worried as she said, “But rescuing someone from Kenwood Mansion won't be easy, right? That place is definitely a dangerous spot. How do you plan on rescuing him? Furthermore, we can't guarantee that this isn't a scheme orchestrated by Castell.”Having finally received news of Absalom, of course, it couldn't be given up on, but the authenticity of the news also needed to be confirmed.Dimas simply smiled without answering Harmonia's question but instead changed the topic and asked, “Monia, what did you have for dinner tonight?”Just as Harmonia was about to answer, a knock sounded at the door. Her heart jumped, and she acted swiftly and quickly tucked the phone under the blanket.She then pretended to be
