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.

    Pfft!Harmonia nearly spat out her beer in surprise. Her eyes, gleaming like dewdrops, blinked in astonishment as she contemplated the meaning of his action.“Miss Marsh, I peeled a plate of lobsters for you as a token of my gratitude in light of your graciousness in treating me to supper.”Coincidentally, Harmonia had prepared a gift for him as well. She simply thanked him and accepted his token of gratitude. After they had finished their supper, Harmonia handed the envelope with the hotel logo to Dimas as she said, “Mr. Martinez, you peeled a plate of lobster for me as a token of your gratitude. This is a token of gratitude from me. Goodnight, Mr. Martinez.”Harmonia went to settle the bill immediately, and Dimas put the envelope in the inner pocket of his suit and left with Harmonia. The entrance of the revolving restaurant was designed with tall glass walls and a giant fountain maze. After the lighting ceremony, the lights around the thousand-year-old banyan tree would go out

    Dimas grabbed her wrist with one hand and held her slender waist with the other. Although Harmonia did not fall, she twisted her ankle due to her unstable center of gravity. The ground was wet after being splashed with water, so slipping on the wet floor was inevitable.“Are you hurt?” He inquired with a deep gaze.Harmonia bit her lip, feeling a slight pain in her ankle. Dimas bent down to examine her ankle. Her left ankle was now slightly swollen. Although the injury was not severe, it would undoubtedly be painful for her to take a few steps now. “I’m fine,” Harmonia said as she shook her head, displaying her usual resilience. “We’d better hurry or the water spray will come again soon.”Harmonia turned around and walked toward the exit as she spoke. She could only endure the pain as she was unable to exert force on her left ankle. Dimas approached her and held her wrist as he said, “Miss Marsh, you hurt your ankle because you wanted to lead me out of the maze. It’s only right fo

    She pursed her lips and made a phone call immediately, arranging for the hotel dry cleaning service. She noted down Dimas’s room number as well and arranged for the hotel staff to deliver the suit directly to him. All matters in Sea Hill were now resolved in Sea Hill.As for Seadale Museum, with Ben imprisoned, the reconstruction of the museum would have to wait for the appointment of a new director and would likely be put on hold for a considerable period. Harmonia took a painkiller late into the night and soon fell asleep. Early the next morning, Harmonia checked out and took an early flight back to Nilus City. When Dimas received news of Harmonia’s checkout, he smirked subtly—his suit was still with her. Another reason to interact with her had presented itself. The doorbell suddenly rang. “Sir, your suit has been dry-cleaned.” A hotel staff member, who was outside the door, spoke respectfully. Dimas furrowed his brows. This was the suit that he had wrapped around her wais

    “Absalom’s uncle.”“What?! Trashy-Ab’s uncle? Forget about it, then. Speaking of which, don’t you think that Trashy-Ab is acting a little strange this time? Is he trying to get the best of both worlds?” “What do you mean?” Harmonia asked. “Do you know who withdrew the trending topic about your secret meeting with a young boyfriend this time?”“Trashy-Ab?” Harmonia learned from Alessia’s way of addressing Absalom and found the term to be quite catchy. “Yes! It makes sense for him to withdraw the trending topic if he wants to remarry you, but why would he send resources to that wench, Luna, at the same time?” “Resources? What kind of resources did he send to Luna?”“He’s giving Luna the cover of the magazine, Viviane, for next month!”Harmonia was not surprised and could not help but chuckle as she said, “He has to show me some concern if he wants to remarry me, but he needs to continue pleasing his mistress if he wants to continue to win her over. Don’t I know any better aft

    The embryonic tissue sent to the appraisal institution, Finding Daddy, was not Luna’s! Instead, it had been substituted! However, the embryonic tissue that had been substituted was related to Luna. Therefore, these two sets of data showed no anomalies at first glance, but subtle differences emerged upon closer examination. It turned out that on the night that Absalom had been intoxicated, the person he had intimate relations with was not Luna but someone related to her! Harmonia could not help but laugh. It was truly absurd—beyond belief!Absalom probably had no idea who the person he had intimate relations with that night was. After all, for Trashy-Ab, everyone looked the same in the dark.Harmonia could not help but chuckle when she looked at the two data reports in her hands. Who was the true mother of Absalom’s child?After returning to Heron Bay Villa, Harmonia printed out these two data reports with the official seals and signatures and then locked them in the safe. She wa

    Anna naturally knew about the matters between Harmonia and Luna. Upon hearing her question, she responded promptly, “Terran Construction spent thirty million dollars for this cover. I agreed after considering that nothing would be affected since it’s July, anyway.”Magazine covers have always had the saying of ‘Golden September’ and ‘Silver October’, with the September and October issues being the most crucial. “Thirty million dollars for a magazine cover in July?” Harmonia chuckled coldly. Absalom’s compensation was truly a generous gesture.Anna nodded and said, “We’ve signed a guarantee agreement as well. Terran Construction will buy two-thirds of the magazine as soon as it’s released to ensure that we will not incur any losses.”“When does the shooting start?” Harmonia asked as she smiled at Anna.“The set is already prepared, and shooting has already begun in the studio on the eighth floor.”Harmonia nodded at Anna and said, “I’ll go and take a look.”Anna felt chills down

    They were vehement in their attitude and even resorted to harsh language! They not only demanded a ten-minute break for Luna to regain her composure, but they even strongly insisted on getting rid of unnecessary onlookers. The team then deleted the cross-eyed photo of Luna promptly. Luna crossed her arms and promptly raised her chin as she gazed at Harmonia, exhibiting no trace of her awkwardness from earlier. “This is a shooting set, so how can just anyone come in as they please? They have utterly affected my performance! Why aren’t they being escorted out? Is Viviane so nonchalant that anyone can stroll in as they please? If the magazine shoot is delayed, who among you can bear the responsibility?” Luna declared with a bossy, domineering, and arrogant attitude. “I can,” Harmonia responded in a calm and composed manner as she walked up to Luna. Luna sneered, “What makes you qualified? Is it based on your ambiguous relationships with so many different men? Or could it be becaus

    Luna’s arrogant demeanor was completely extinguished, almost as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her with this statement. Her eyes widened in astonishment, an expression of incredulity etched across her features.Her team members, who were initially clamoring to have Harmonia escorted out, all stood silently with their mouths agape as they were unable to utter a word. How could Harmonia be escorted out?She was the boss of Viviane, and her presence on the shooting set was entirely justifiable. Her scrutiny was not only acceptable but reasonable even if she chose to issue directives during the shoot.Nevertheless, Harmonia did nothing but simply gaze contemplatively at Luna, making Luna feel as if a pair of invisible hands were viciously striking her face—a sensation that made Luna feel as if her face had swelled even bigger than a pig’s head!Harmonia's smile, coupled with the elusive gleam in her eyes, sealed Luna's defeat when they stood together in the spotlight.Ha

    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
