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
Harmonia widened her eyes in shock. ‘He already agreed before I even told him what the favor was? Besides, how did this shrimp end up in my bowl?’Harmonia hesitated for two seconds, “Mr. Martinez, I haven't mentioned what favor I need from…”“I'll agree to anything you ask after you finish eating these shrimps,” Dimas said with a smile.Harmonia was dumbfounded. In other words, if she did not finish these shrimps, he would not help her with any favor? Was this what he meant?The upper echelon event would begin the day after tomorrow, and at the moment, Dimas was the only one who could assist her with this favor. As the owner of One Equestrian Club, he undoubtedly had the necessary connections!Harmonia started stuffing the shrimps into her mouth one by one while Dimas continued peeling the shrimps.“Mr. Martinez, that’s enough.” Harmonia’s fair cheeks were puffed.The cafeteria lady, who was watching them, joyfully remarked, “Young man, you peel the shrimps really quickly.”
“I will ask you for my reward when you secure the old jade mine. You will thank me when the time comes, okay?” “Very well, then,” Harmonia readily agreed.-The day of the upper echelon event arrived in the blink of an eye. For the past decade, the event had been organized by the esteemed Mr. Parish, underscoring his influence and network in the upper-class circle. One Equestrian Club was soon transformed into an exquisitely adorned garden party setting. Luxurious cars parked in succession as rich men escorted their female companions into the venue. High-profile ladies compared their extravagant attires while wealthy wives clung to their husbands, wary of losing them to other captivating temptations.The upper echelon event was a grandiose medley akin to an extravagant barbeque where common households might use ordinary ingredients like vegetables and meat slices. The affluent, on the other hand, indulged in delicacies like truffle, foie gras, and Kobe beef, with little substant
