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.
Their mother had experienced a difficult labor and massive bleeding when she gave birth to Dimas, ultimately succumbing to the unsuccessful rescue efforts. Holly naturally held her younger brother in high regard as their mother had fought so hard for his life. “Holly, what do you want to say?” Dimas asked. Holly sighed softly and said, “She’s your nephew’s ex-wife, after all.”“Mm-hmm.” He merely responded without saying much. Holly looked at him and asked, “Have you thought it through?”“Yes.”Holly spoke with certainty, “Our family will never approve of it. When I insisted on marrying Felix back then, our family objected as well. There is now a clear boundary between me and the family, which I deeply regret now!”Holly wanted to advise him not to follow in her footsteps. “Dimas, you and I are different. Our family values males over females. I can leave the family, but they will never allow you to do so. Moreover, you are the most capable among everyone in our family. You
Pfft. He sneered and tapped his fingers lightly on the lock that was fastened on the fence, emitting a subtle sound. Rio entered the courtyard and saw his boss standing in front of the thousand-year-old banyan tree for a very long time. He was perplexed as he could not understand why one would stare at a banyan tree for so long.After an unknown period of time, Dimas spoke up and said, “Has everything been taken care of?”“Sir, I investigated Ben’s social network and found that Trey is closely related to him. Trey probably wanted to use Ben’s connections to meet more people from the upper-class society to pave the way for his business. However, Trey and his employees were already dead on the ship when I led our men to the harbor.”Dimas frowned. It seemed that this clue leading to Ben had been completely broken, but it could be confirmed that Ben was not the mastermind. There was someone else behind the scenes. Dimas’s eyes turned cold, and he turned to leave. Rio looked a
