Absalom’s gaze immediately fell on the floor beside him. Hunter had already thrown all the shredded paper into the shredder, completely destroying all evidence. Absalom’s bodyguard, Wayne’s voice came from outside the door.“Mr. Terran, Mr. Nathan Xander, the largest jade boss in Janloon, and his daughter are here.”Hunter opened the door of the presidential suite. Nathan looked at Absalom, who exuded a strong aura as he sat on the black sofa. He smiled and led his daughter, Lulu, into the presidential suite.“Mr. Terran, this is my daughter, Lulu Xander.”Absalom glanced at him and asked, “What's the matter?”“Mr. Terran, I know about your reputation in Nilus City, and I know you have extraordinary abilities. But as the saying goes, it’s difficult for even a capable person to deal with evil forces entrenched in their own territory. You will not be able to accomplish any difficult things without my help in Janloon.”Absalom sneered, lowered his crossed legs, and slammed them down
The number of moons increased, and the more she picked it, the more she was enveloped in the moonlight. However, he was even brighter than all the moonlight. “Young lady, I’ve touched the moon for you. It told me that your wishes made on shooting stars have already come true.”Harmonia woke up from the dream, feeling a sudden warmth on her cheeks. How could the moon be touched? How could he touch it for her? Her wish hadn't been fulfilled either.Harmonia became more awake. Indeed, it was just a dream. Just as she was about to get up, she realized something was off. She lowered her head and looked at the long legs with nowhere to rest. She had actually slept in his car, using his legs as a pillow, and even the coat covering her belonged to him. She panicked for a moment and tried to sit up cautiously. But as soon as she moved a little, his arm held her down, returning her to her original position. “You’re awake?” He said, lowering his head and naturally reaching out his hand t
“I…”A burst of excited shouts suddenly came from outside the car! “Miss Marsh, we found a good stone in the mine! Mr. Duncan took a look at it and said that it might meet your standards! He asked me to ask you to come down to the mine to take a look!” Harmonia shifted her gaze outside the car window and saw a miner in an old sweatshirt walking toward the luxury car.She pushed open the car door immediately, got out, and looked at the miner who was sweating profusely and smiling happily.“Miss Marsh, please come into the mine and take a look! You’ll definitely be satisfied with this stone!” Upon seeing Harmonia, the miner spoke even more warmly and handed her a brand-new safety helmet. Harmonia nodded, took the helmet, thanked him, and followed the miner toward the mine entrance. Just as Harmonia was about to step on the stones to enter the mine, she lowered her head and saw a gentleman’s hand about two to three centimeters away from her waist.Harmonia noticed the redwood be
This… Was this blood?She trembled as she touched his neck and heaved a sigh of relief the moment when she felt his pulse. He still had a heartbeat; he was still alive!“Dimas, wake up! Can you hear me? Dimas, open your eyes and look at me! It’s me, Harmonia!” She kept trying to wake him up as she called his name and continuously pushed the stones off his body. When there was the last stone remaining, she clenched her teeth and tried to push it away with all her strength. However, no matter how hard she tried, that stone on top of him would not budge at all. All her nails broke, and an intense pain shot through her fingertips. This was accompanied by despair and helplessness engulfing her internal organs!“Dimas, you can't die… You can’t die…” She sobbed and saw drops of fresh blood falling from the corner of her eye. “You promised to protect me, so how can you die?!” His extremely weak voice sounded—Harmonia heard it. “Are you injured?” He asked her.“No, I'm not injured
Harmonia looked up, only to see Absalom. She tried to walk around him without hesitation, but he grabbed her arm firmly. “Let me go, Absalom!” She attempted to shake off his grip.Absalom frowned, looking displeased. He had stayed by her side for a whole day and night, yet her first words upon waking up were to call for Dimas, and her first action was to go find him?“Should I let you go so you can find Dimas?” His voice was particularly cold.When Harmonia heard the word ‘Dimas’, she hurriedly asked, “How is he? Is he awake?”Absalom felt irritated and panicked when he saw Harmonia’s anxious and worried expression. He could not imagine what her attitude toward him would be like if she found out that Dimas was the one who had saved her. She might be even colder and more indifferent than she was now. Absalom had no intention of answering her repeated questions. When Harmonia saw this, she tried to push him away so that she could go and look for Dimas herself. But the next mome
Her fair skin was exposed to the air, glowing with enticing redness.He smiled menacingly and said, “We should have consummated our marriage five years ago.” A moment ago, he was on the verge of rage, but she remained calm, unflustered, and unafraid.But now, the man in front of her made Harmonia feel as if she did not know him at all. A burst of sudden panic for no reason made her feel desperate. She kept struggling and begging for help. “No! Don't touch me!”Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let her tears fall. His movements stopped. He looked at his own hands—the hands that had torn her clothes.‘Absalom Terran, what the hell are you doing?!’He stood up, took off his suit jacket, and covered Harmonia with it.His rationality, which had been momentarily devoid, returned completely at this moment. He turned around and punched the wall hard. Bang!Just then, the door to the ward burst open. “You scoundrel, damn it! What are you trying to do
Madam Judd’s expression was solemn as she held Harmonia’s hand with one hand and Dimas’ hand with the other, muttering to herself continuously.The last time when Dimas didn't return home late at night, Madam Judd was also muttering like this. This was a prayer in the ancient civilization language for safety.“Grandma…” Harmonia called out. Her voice choked even though she tried to suppress it.“It’s okay, Harmonia. It’s good that you’re not hurt,” Madam Judd patted the back of Harmonia’s hand gently. Harmonia took a deep breath and looked at the butler, Mr. Jeet, and Rio.She maintained her composure and asked, “How was the explosion in the mine handled?”Mr. Jeet said, “As soon as Madam Judd heard the news, she made a decisive decision, publicly announcing that it was a worker's operational error that caused the mine collapse, concealing the malicious event of explosives hidden in the mine and providing substantial compensation to the families of the workers who died on the s
She wanted to pray for him.Even though she didn't know if it would help, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was willing to do it for him. Harmonia took a deep breath, and she almost fell from the edge of the bed because of her shaky body. She opened the booklet and pronounced each word following the phonetic annotations. Her voice was trembling as she read the unfamiliar words. She had a talent for languages, and she repeated the words over and over again.The meaning of this ancient civilization language and its corresponding annotations were naturally engraved in her mind. She didn't even need to stare at the annotations to recite them.However, there was no sign of Dimas waking up. Harmonia’s curled eyelashes trembled, and her tears glistened. She blinked, and tears fell on the back of his hand, hot and scalding, slowly spreading little by little. ‘Dimas, I will not break my promise about giving you privileges. Please wake up soon, okay?’-Meanwhile, in the w
