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
“When will you listen to me obediently?” Dimas knew that she was about to get out of the car, so he naturally restrained her for the sake of her ankle!Harmonia countered, “Why should I listen to you, Mr. Martinez?”“Because I'm pursuing you.”Harmonia felt as if her heart had skipped a beat. She turned around and looked at him in extreme astonishment! The thoughts she had denied several times... were they actually true?!Dimas really liked her?He sensed the disbelief in her eyes and laughed lightly, asking, “Why? Haven't I made it clear enough?”Harmonia was utterly speechless, and she could even hear a buzzing sound in her ears. Dimas liked her? She was his nephew's ex-wife!Dimas understood the meaning she wanted to express through her bright and beautiful eyes.“A perfect gentleman has good conduct, but alas, it’s inevitably difficult when it comes to love.” He spoke in a deep voice, clarifying her questions. Harmonia straightened her back. Was this his confession?It w
Firefly continued to march in place, grunting angrily in annoyance. “You’re not convinced?” Dimas’s eyes were cold. Firefly instantly lowered its head, even lightly bumping Dimas with its own head, almost as if answering: I’m convinced!Harmonia could not help but laugh as Firefly behaved like a loyal follower, trying to please Dimas. Why was this horse raised like a dog?Dimas then stepped onto the stirrup, swung his long legs, and sat directly behind Harmonia. The distance between his chest and her back was only a few centimeters away, which was too close for her comfort.Harmonia wanted to lean forward, but Dimas had already grabbed her hand and was also holding the reins by her side. “Sit tight. I’ll let you familiarize yourself with the race route first.” He did not give her a chance to dismount or speak. He tapped the horse's sides lightly, and Firefly then started to move forward slowly. As a world-class equestrian facility, One Equestrian Park naturally had qualificat
“How do you know it was Absalom who saved you? Perhaps you got it wrong.”Harmonia shook her head and confidently said, “There’s only one villa next to my grandfather’s house, which is the Terrans’ vacation home. The Terrans only have one son who is none other than Absalom. Besides, his age and height are consistent with the person who saved me as well, so there’s no way I could have been mistaken.”Dimas smiled. “So, the probability of a mistake is indeed very low.” But it was not nonexistent.Harmonia felt that Dimas’s words were a bit strange, but she did not think much about it. Instead, she nodded lightly. He tapped the ring on her pinky finger gently with his slender fingers and said, “Wear it. Wearing it will remind you of how unreliable my nephew is, and it could be considered as a wake-up call as well. Besides, this ring has saved you before.”Dimas deliberately paused for a few seconds, emphasizing, “It has extraordinary significance.”For some reason, these four words m
He still had to delve into it even if he knew that it was a trap.“Mmhmm.”Harmonia continued to weave her intricate scheme, “Then whether the clubhouse’s internal renovation work can be secure and entrusted to our studio this time will depend entirely on you, our outstanding employee, Mr. Martinez!”“Our studio?”Harmonia nodded vigorously, her pair of beautiful eyes sparkling brightly. Dimas’s lips curled up, his smile deepening. “Mmhmm, ours.”Even though Dimas was aware that it was a trap set by the young lady, he was still very satisfied even after falling for the trap. Rio, who was following from behind, was dumbfounded as he thought to himself, ‘You’re satisfied with this?!’-It was Harmonia’s first visit to the Royal Finesse Club. After all, she had never once participated in the upper-echelon event that was held annually. After familiarizing herself with the venue, the first thing that Harmonia did upon returning to the studio was to have Louis bring in a whe
Luna was holding a thermal bag adorned with numerous red hearts in her hands. She smiled radiantly as soon as she laid eyes on Absalom. “Ab! My mom made soup for me and specially prepared a portion for you as well, so she asked me to bring it to you.” Luna smiled like an innocent and warm-hearted eighteen-year-old young girl who was falling in love for the first time. However, Absalom’s expression remained stoic, his calm demeanor resembling that of an eighty-year-old man who had gone through the changes of life.Absalom observed the thermal bag that Luna was handing over, which should have just been inscribed with the words ‘I love you’ on it. Despite promising to compensate her, he also aimed to avoid any physical contact with her that might upset Harmonia if she were to find out about it.He coldly commanded, “Take it, Wayne.”“Yes, Mr. Terran.” Wayne promptly obtained the thermal bag from Luna. Luna saw that Absalom was seated in a wheelchair, and it seemed as if he was a
