Absalom pointed at Luna.Luna was filled with joy. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she called out, “Ab...”He gave her the hope to live. So, in his mind, she was more important than Harmonia.In her excitement, Luna looked toward Harmonia and arrogantly raised her chin.Harmonia did not feel bothered at all. In fact, she even thought it was ridiculous. Why would she need to prove her worth through a foolish man’s choice?Suddenly, Leo began to laugh. He shook his head while clicking his tongue.“Looks like your wife of five years can’t compare to your childhood sweetheart who came into your life first!”With that, Leo tossed a pair of handcuffs to Absalom’s feet.“Mr. Terran, please handcuff yourself and walk over here! If you dare to play any tricks, I’ll kill all of you!”Absalom bent down to pick up the handcuffs. He followed Leo’s instructions and quickly put them on his wrists. Step by step, he walked over to where Leo stood.Leo then restrained Absalom with swift m
“Harmonia, that was too reckless! Do you even realize what could have happened if he had pressed the detonator?” Her somersault had left Harmonia drained as she had not fully recovered in the first place. She could barely muster any strength now. She leaned against a nearby railing without giving Absalom another look. “No matter how risky it was, I had to save myself.” She would never let go of any opportunity to save herself. Dying here was not on her agenda, and she definitely did not want to die because of him and Luna. Harmonia exerted herself and pushed his hands away. “Harmonia, I saved her because...” “You have the right to save her.” Harmonia had carried a massive burden in her heart for years. Even after the divorce, that weight had been hard to remove. However, the moment Absalom made that decision, she was finally freed from that weight. Although her heart suffered during the process, her heart would no longer be held hostage. She walked toward the door.
Suddenly, his phone rang.“Hello?”“Hey, Ab, where are you? Mom and Dad are having a big fight. You need to come home right away!”Loud banging noises came from the other end of the call.Absalom remembered that today was the day his mother and sister were flying back to their home country.“I got it.”He wore a grave expression. He let out a sigh and changed direction to head toward the Terran family’s mansion.…Absalom arrived at the Terran family’s mansion.“You have the audacity to show your face here?”Holly Terran was furious as soon as she saw him and began yelling at him.“The other day, you said you wanted to throw a welcoming party for your Uncle Dimas. Even though he’s just a year older than you, he’s still your uncle. I was pleased that you were being so considerate, but that joy didn’t last long!“While I took your sister overseas for a trip, you got a divorce and got involved in such a huge scandal! Now, this is just great! It turns out that Harmonia is the m
Dimas’ arrival brought an instant calm to the heated atmosphere in the mansion.“Uncle Dimas? What brings you here at this hour?”Monica’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Dimas. Their help had arrived!“I just finished a venture capital meeting. I heard you guys were back, and I had something to discuss with Absalom, so I thought I’d drop by,” Dimas spoke calmly and unhurriedly.However, the next moment, he had a smile on his face as he changed the subject.“Though it seems I might have picked the wrong time to visit.”Holly let out a snort of anger. She folded her arms and sat on a single-seat sofa on the side.Felix remained silent as well. The atmosphere had somehow quietened down again as they had temporarily stopped their quarrel.Absalom looked at Dimas and asked, “Uncle Dimas, what do you want to talk to me about?”“It’s nothing serious,” Dimas replied. He handed a file folder to Absalom.Absalom furrowed his brows. He recalled the divorce gift Harmonia gave him on the d
Absalom got straight to the point. “Uncle Dimas, I’d like to borrow your private jet.”“My jet’s maintenance will be completed this afternoon. You can use it then.”Absalom frowned. “This afternoon? Can’t it be moved up?”“I know you want to see Harmonia, but there is no rush. You’ve wasted five years; you can afford to wait for another half a day.” Dimas figured out why he needed to borrow his jet.“I’ll transfer the cost of using your jet to you.”“No need; consider it a small favor from me.”With that, their conversation ended.Absalom slammed his fist hard on the steering wheel. He had never hated himself as much as he did today.His eyes turned red. Tears blurred his vision.“Harmonia, wait for me.”…The next morning, Harmonia woke up and inquired about the situation.She learned that Leo was an employee in the security department of Nilus University.Four years ago, during the redevelopment of Brones District, he had a dispute with Terran Construction. He had been w
“The warehouse.”Dominic shuddered at the thought of storing a painting worth 30 billion in the warehouse.He held the commendation poster in his hands and silently repeated to himself. “Honor is priceless! Honor is priceless!”…Four hours later, Harmonia’s private jet landed in Green Hill. As soon as she arrived at Green Town, she hired twenty trucks.Each truck had banners, labels, and a huge loudspeaker. They went through every street and alley to broadcast a message.“Mr. Safan is giving back to the town residents by providing free home designs for self-built houses! Plus, more welfare subsidies! Guaranteed satisfaction!”Harmonia’s father, Safan Marsh, had lived in Green Hill for six years. He had been dedicating himself to charitable work. He was a well-known and highly respected philanthropist in the area.“Harmonia, that’s impressive!” Louis said in admiration. “Green Town has at least a few hundred households. If we can secure these contracts, our studio’s ranking wil
Her heart sank like a stone. It was as if it were plunging into an icy sea. She would never have guessed that the person who she had thought was her brother for over twenty years was not actually her biological brother! Harmonia felt a ringing in her ears. She could not dwell on it further. She grabbed Hector’s hand and pulled him out of the house. “Harmonia?” They walked all the way out to the courtyard. Hector held Harmonia’s wrist. His warm hand grasped her cold wrist. His brows furrowed in concern. “I found out nine years ago.” Harmonia trembled. She turned to look at Hector. Looking into his eyes which were filled with tenderness, she did not know how to react. “Oh, Hector...” “I was abandoned by my biological parents after I was born. Mom and Dad adopted me out of kindness. I was afraid you’d overthink it. I was worried you wouldn’t accept me as your brother. And I was afraid you’d end up crying like you are now. That’s why I kept it from you and never told you.
Buzz! “You’ve got a new order on BuildEasy. Please process them promptly!”Then her phone just kept on buzzing!She took out her phone and immediately opened the “BuildEasy” app. She saw the order count soaring.One after another, orders kept coming in. It had already exceeded two hundred orders!At this rate, there was a real chance of hitting seven hundred orders!Hector lowered his head and saw the rapidly increasing order count on her phone. He was genuinely happy for her.He leaned in and whispered in Harmonia’s ear with a smile. “Excellent strategy, big sister.”The products in the group purchase were the same, so naturally, the house designs for the group purchase were also identical.Initiating a town-wide bulk purchase meant that even if over seven hundred households placed orders, producing the designs within a month was completely feasible.Bulk purchasing for house construction not only saved time and costs but also allowed for town planning.With everyone getti
