Harmonia was engaged in discussions with several restoration experts about a suitable renovation plan for the east wing. Dimas spotted Louis holding his cell phone and hesitating about whether to ring the bell through the glass door. He immediately walked out, removed his mask, and inquired, “What's the matter?”When Louis saw the ‘Bossman’, Dimas, he spoke cautiously, “Mr. Terran is here.”In the next moment, Dimas’s expression underwent a visible change. “Bossman, should we receive him or not?” Louis inquired. Dimas chuckled lightly when he heard this title. “Receive him, but there's no need for Monia to meet him.”Dimas made a phone call immediately.Three minutes later, everything was ready. Dimas looked at Louis and said, “Authorize entry through the main entrance.”“Understood.” Louis nodded immediately and dialed the number for the main entrance.-After the main entrance was opened, Absalom, who was sitting in the Lincoln extended limousine, smiled. His wife was
Was this a repetition of old tricks? Was he pretending to be pitiful in the rain? Stop daydreaming, Absalom!There were only a few meters left to the magnificent gate. He halted his steps. The umbrella tilted backward, revealing an incredibly handsome face with a faint curve at the corner of his lips.Dimas Martinez!Absalom’s palm suddenly balled into a fist. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his presence was still incredibly powerful!The two locked eyes, gazing at each other through the door. The tension was incredibly high. “Are you so indifferent when you meet your uncle?” Dimas’s voice, with a slightly amused tone, rang out.Absalom snorted coldly, “You’re thinking about coveting your nephew’s wife, so are you worthy of being an elder?”They were both born in the same year. Dimas was born in January, and Absalom was born in September. They were less than eight months apart.When Absalom addressed Dimas as ‘Uncle’, it was entirely out of respect for his mother
Alessia held an umbrella and stepped out of the car. She ran under the rain shelter, looking at Absalom with visible irritation.“Belated affection is completely worthless. This is a truth that’s known to the whole world. Don't you understand it, Mr. Terran?”Absalom raised his gaze and met Alessia’s eyes. The intensity in his eyes was daunting.Alessia felt a bit intimidated and took a step back while still holding the umbrella. However, she plowed ahead for Harmonia’s sake as she unleashed a barrage of accusatory words, “What have you given Monia in your five years of marriage? You didn’t hold a grand wedding, and you did not even give her a decent ring! All you've given her is pain and deception! Harmonia even strained her relationship with her parents for the sake of marrying you. She silently endured all the suffering and pain all by herself! Furthermore, she even secured such a massive project for you!”“Yet how did you treat her in the end? You’re only putting on this affect
“Where are you, Rocco Wade?”“Ab, I’m dancing at a nightclub!”“What's the relationship between you and the founder of Aureole Media?” Absalom could not be bothered with small talk; the deafening music only heightened his impatience.“Huh? Aureole Media? Who are you talking about?” The phone then buzzed with Rocco’s inquiries among the crowd on the other end of the line. What is Aureole Media? Who is the founder?‘Rocco, that is the media that specializes in digging up gossip among the upper echelon!’‘That’s right, the founder is a woman!’‘The founder’s last name seems to be Clark, but I can’t remember her name right now.’“Alessia Clark,” Absalom slowly uttered those two words.Rocco came to a realization, “Oh, it’s that the ugly girl who admired me in high school. She's one of my many ex-girlfriends. I dated her and toyed with her for several months. What's the matter?”Absalom was furious. He could not suppress his anger and yelled, “How dare she compare me to a scoundrel
Rio continued to chuckle and said, “Hehe, isn't it a loyal follower just like Trashy-Ab?”Harmonia was dumbfounded. It did bear a resemblance to him.Later, Harmonia and Alessia took the little stray dog to a nearby pet store for a comprehensive service—spa treatment, a thorough check-up, vaccinations, and deworming. Alessia suggested naming it ‘Trashy-Ab’, but Harmonia felt that the name might cause some harm to the little stray dog. As Marshtown Studio’s signature puppy, it finally acquired a resounding name—Ultraman.When the puppy heard the name ‘Ultraman’, it instantly transformed into an energetic and happy creature, wagging its tail wildly. It seemed quite pleased with the name. After all, Ultraman sounded much more imposing and powerful than Trashy-Ab.-After Absalom returned to the hospital, he discovered a figure squatting outside his ward.“Why are you here?”Luna looked up at him, her eyes turning red instantly. “Ab, you left the hospital without telling anyone.
‘A fantasy! Mr. Terran paid Luna Woods a visit, and the two were embracing in the corridor.’Absalom wore a sharp suit in the photo, whereas Luna, who was clad in a hospital gown, appeared exhausted as she lay in his arms. If the photo was enhanced with a dreamy filter, it could be deemed a romantic drama with an extramarital affair. Alessia was instantly speechless.“I didn't say anything just now, you didn't hear anything from me!”She had just said that Absalom sincerely wanted to reconcile with Harmonia, but the next second, it was a brutal slap in the face. At this point, she felt absolutely certain that berating Absalom regardless of the circumstances earlier was absolutely right! In fact, she should have scolded him even more harshly!Monia was right! Absalom was embracing another woman while saying that he wanted to get remarried to Harmonia. He displayed top-notch skills in deceit. Did he want the best of both worlds?! It was absolutely outrageous!However, Harmon
She harbored no intention to employ him for the long term. To put it bluntly, she could not refuse to hire him because of Dominic’s recommendation, which eventually led to the creation of this so-called special employment contract. The contract's expiration date coincided with the date of the completion of the internal restoration of Empyrean Tower’s west building, allowing no room for extension of his employment at all. The young lady was indeed both intelligent and ruthless. However, how could one generalize and equate a nephew with his uncle? In the end, it was all his wretched nephew's fault. He caused his own demise and also harm to others. Wasn’t it all thanks to Absalom that the young girl had decided to guard her heart?Slam! There was a resounding sound on the table. Dimas forcefully threw the contract on the table. His expression was resolute, almost as if he could crush Absalom with his bare hands! Louis took two steps back in fright. “Mr. Martinez, is there an issu
“Are you hungry? Eat something.”“I’m not hungry. I can still run a few laps,” Harmonia replied. Once she found her rhythm, she believed she could break the upper echelon record set by her father, so she wanted to continue riding.“Firefly is hungry,” Dimas added. Harmonia quickly looked at Firefly, who lowered its head, pretending to search for grass to eat. Dimas chuckled. The horse was quite cooperative.Harmonia nodded. Firefly was the main contributor to the reason why she was able to run in under a minute, so she could not let it go hungry. Dimas then held Harmonia’s hand and led her toward the staff cafeteria. Harmonia was stunned for three seconds as she attempted to break free from his grasp. However, Dimas exerted a bit of force, pulling her into his embrace as he whispered, “Absalom sent someone to keep an eye on you.” “Keep an eye on me?”“It has probably been going on for a while now.”Harmonia was shocked. She did not expect Absalom to do such a thing.“Behave a
