“My employee?”Dimas’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this word. He remained silent as he did not know whether to be angry or amused. Employee? Hah. She was really daring to answer that way!The next moment, he picked Harmonia up from the sofa without saying a word. “Dimas Martinez, what are you doing again?!” Harmonia was startled.“Can't you tell? I’m carrying you.” His eyes looked calm, and his short hair covered his eyes. Harmonia could not see the look in his eyes or sense his emotions at the moment. However, she could vaguely feel his displeasure. Was it because of the word ‘employee’? She hadn't said anything wrong. He was her employee. Did he want her to say that he was her uncle instead? However, she and Absalom were already divorced.Dimas suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at Harmonia with an incredibly sharp gaze. “I'm not interested in being your uncle.”Harmonia was dumbfounded. How did he read her thoughts?Dimas carried Harmonia back into
So, he was really just an employee to her? Damn it! His status was even lower than her brother and her ex-husband. It felt as if he was in heaven one moment and had fallen to hell in the next moment.Dimas lowered his head and felt a surge of emotions as he looked at the girl in his arms who was holding the umbrella for him. Harmonia felt Dimas’s gaze, raised her head, and met his deep and profound eyes. The two of them stared at each other in the rain for nearly ten seconds before Harmonia spoke up, “Mr. Martinez, what's the situation now?”Dimas’s eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was still deep and unreadable. He did not say anything and just simply continued to carry her toward the direction of the laboratory.The villa where the laboratory was located was pitch black. Upon entering, only the sound of the door closing could be heard. Before Harmonia could reach out to turn on the light, Dimas had already placed her on the entrance cabinet by the door.The next momen
Was she hiding the photo? She was even hiding it so well. Did this mean that she treasured it? It seemed that it was not as if she did not have any feelings for him at all. Dimas smiled, dispelling his previous unhappiness. After making precise color adjustments, he began repairing the mural. Harmonia sat there, picked up the documents on the table, and carefully examined them. This was a list of items needed for the reconstruction of the west building of Empyrean Tower. Louis had already compiled the entire list with the team and even made a price estimate. Materials like yellow rosewood, Persian cedarwood, and red sandalwood, needed for the reconstruction, were easily accessible through Marsh Consortium’s timber company with extremely rich channel resources. After all, their ancestors had made a fortune with timber.After experiencing turbulent times, the Marsh family had been through ups and downs. Eventually, the ancestors had made a decisive move, continuing the old busines
Harmonia hesitated and pursed her lips. “I won't ask you to commit murder and arson, Miss Marsh.” He could not bear to do so.Harmonia nodded, “Okay, I agree.”Dimas’s smile gradually deepened. Harmonia held her forehead and wondered, ‘Did I get tricked again? Is my employee setting me up again?’However, she had no other choice. After all, he had access to the old jade mines. A powerful figure such as Zov had all three qualities; money, power, and fame. Even if Harmonia revealed her identity and found Zov, she might not be able to secure the old jade mines without someone to build the connection and help her. After all, the raw materials from old jade mines were valuable, and Zov must have had his own reasons for not exploiting them over the years.While Harmonia was lost in thought, Dimas had already picked her up from her seat.Harmonia widened her eyes and asked, “What are you doing now?”He walked toward a sofa not far away where the employees took breaks and placed
The trending topic caused a sensation on the internet in just a few seconds—Shocking news! Harmonia’s alleged lover makes a surprise appearance!The accompanying picture was a photo with the villa at Riverside Residences as its background. In the photo, a tall man was carrying Harmonia in his arms, and the two were sharing an umbrella as they walked in the rain. This looked like a scene from an idol drama when matched with the perfect filter. The night owls arrived and instantly caused a sensation!“Is this the young man who had dinner with Harmonia? His physique looks similar, right?”“Why are the paparazzi so useless? Investigate further, quickly get a clear shot of her lover’s face, and report this matter again!”“What a joke! This photo only shows their backs and it's blurry. How can you even tell it’s Harmonia?”“The person who left the comment above seems to be a little foolish! Marshtown Studio is located at Riverside Residences Area 1! Besides, there's a ring on her l
Mr. Smith answered truthfully, “It’s not that I think highly of Mr. Martinez. I just hope that Miss can find true happiness!“Besides, we couldn't find anything about Mr. Martinez’s background, but it should be quite formidable. At the very least, he’s not inferior compared to Absalom! That makes him a good match with Miss as well!”Hector lowered his head and laughed, but bitterness filled his heart.“A good match?”Mr. Smith nodded vigorously, “Of course. Although things are not as strict as it was before now, if the economic family conditions differ too much, it's definitely not acceptable.”The bitterness in Hector’s heart deepened.He was her nominal brother. He was publicly known to the public as Safan’s illegitimate son, but they did not know that he was worse off than an illegitimate son because he was, in fact, not related to the Marsh family by blood. How could someone like him who had been abandoned by both parents dare to have such bright dreams?He was overthinki
Dimas spoke with a slow and menacing tone, his stern face and cold words successfully intimidating Alessia. Now, no matter how strong Alessia’s social interaction addiction was, she still took several steps back in fear!She immediately hid behind Harmonia, seemingly emboldened by the protection of the wealthy woman.“Did I say something wrong? You and Monia appeared on the trending topic together last night. Didn't you see it? The headline was ‘Harmonia’s Young Lover’! I must solemnly declare that this trending topic has nothing to do with me. Although Aureole Media is relentlessly targeting the upper echelon, I've steered clear of Monia, and I'll absolutely protect her! I wouldn't do anything to harm my own sister!”“Besides, I actually intended to remove the trending topic, but your nephew beat me to it. Do you know about that?” Alessia explained in a trembling voice.It was quite rare for the High Society Inspection Committee to be afraid. However, Dimas remained expressionless
However, Dimas remained composed and responded with a calm and deliberate demeanor, “Men are infatuated with bad women.”Alessia found this statement a bit peculiar, and after a few seconds, she finally realized—this guy had completely twisted the saying! Dimas approached Harmonia, and with his towering height of 1.94 meters, he gracefully squatted down and asked, “Is your ankle feeling better?”He examined her red and swollen ankle. Alessia was utterly dumbfounded and immediately took several steps backward to avoid being too conspicuous and interfering with the rich woman and her young lover.Harmonia felt a bit overwhelmed by the sudden attention and hastily took a step back. “I’m fine, Mr. Martinez.”“Let’s go, then.” “Where are we going?” “Didn't I tell you before going to bed last night?”Alessia thought to herself, ‘Focus on the key point! He said ‘before going to bed’!’Harmonia did not realize the ambiguous nature of Dimas’s words yet, and she suddenly came to a
