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
Hector was smiling, and he was full of love. He loved and spoiled her tirelessly every single day. Even if he knew that she was not his biological sister, it did not change anything. Ginevra shook her head helplessly. She then patted Hector’s knees. “Spoil her then!” Hector laughed. Harmonia was looking down at some documents and flipping through them. She realized this was the tea plantation’s reports for the past few months. It recorded the growth of the tea leaves and several detailed explanations. The residents of Green Town had been tea farmers for generations, but their tea industry had never gone well. Six years ago, her parents started working with Green Town when they moved in. They rented farmland from the locals and organized it into a tea garden. This large tea garden had also turned into one of Green Town’s tourist attractions. Her father also hired tea farmers to tend to the tea garden. Not only did they have regular salaries, but they also received b
Before Harmonia could say anything. The phone beeped, and the call ended! Harmonia swiftly stood up from the sofa. While calling Louis back, she ran toward the outside of the villa. Hector and Ginevra also heard what was going on. Hector also quickly caught up to Harmonia. On the other hand, Ginevra was frantic. She ran into the kitchens to call for Safan. … Once Harmonia entered the town, she saw Louis holding onto the booth. “Under broad daylight at that! This is preposterous! This is Mr. Safan’s new project!” Louis yelled. Blaed said, chuckling. “What does it matter if it’s Mr. Safan? Why don’t you go check who I, Blaed Herb, am? You are in my territory. I will destroy your booth if you do not pay your protection fees!” Blaed had a cigarette in his mouth. With big gold chains draped around him, revealing two large and tattooed arms, he seemed very fierce. He had a metal rod in his hand as he walked up to Louis. A few other minions followed him with their stic
“I look forward to it.” Harmonia laughed coldly. She was not the slightest bit afraid. Blaed’s eyes were wide open. He was astounded by her charisma. While he was still dumbstruck, the police took him away and did everything according to procedure. Blaed being detained in prison, was not news in town. On the contrary, Harmonia going against him had become the talk of the town. Marshland Studio’s booth for group purchasing housing projects was up once again! Louis was dedicated to his job as he led volunteers to work hard to sell, promote, and explain their purpose of being there. Their orders on BuildEasy were growing rapidly. It was to the point that the platform started to suspect them of making fake orders and began an investigation. However, after their investigation, they realized there were no problems at all. Their rankings skyrocketed. For the first time ever, the top ten, who had always been well-established at the top, felt a sense of danger. … A
Was that Dimas? It really was him! She had not mistaken someone else for him when she saw him in town, then!He must have been the one who called the police for them too. After all, no one in town would dare offend Blaed Herb!…Wait. Didn’t he call her father “Mr. Marsh”? Did he know her father?“When did you arrive, Dimas? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? I could have sent someone to pick you up.”When Safan saw Dimas, his personality shifted completely. Harmonia was absolutely baffled. What was going on?Before Harmonia could make heads or tails of the situation, Dimas stepped in front of her. “How are you, Ms. Marsh?”Harmonia could not even say anything due to her shock. Safan nudged her gently. “Stop daydreaming.”Finally, Harmonia’s mind returned to the present. She looked at Safan, as if she was saying, “And why do you think I was daydreaming?”Then, Harmonia nodded at Dimas and gave him a cursory greeting. “Hello, Mr. Martinez.”“Allow me to introduce Dimas Marti
Right after they left, Harmonia asked Ginevra for the keys to the cold storage. Once she got into the cold storage, Harmonia opened the tea leaf cans inside and checked the tea leaves within them. “Are you really not leaving, Monia?”Ginevra had only just met Harmonia and did not want her to leave. But the moment she thought about how bothersome Blaed was, she was worried. Harmonia nodded. “As long as Blaed stays, he will continue creating problems.”As her mother, Ginevra knew her daughter well. If Harmonia did not want to leave, no matter what Ginevra said, it would be useless. “You have to protect yourself, Monia.”“Don’t worry. I’m the one who’s going to protect all of you.”Harmonia then checked the tea leaves on another shelf to make sure that there was nothing wrong with them. “What are you doing?” Ginevra was puzzled. “Mom, these tea leaves can’t be sold, right?”Ginevra nodded. “The new tea is about to be put on shelves. If we sell old tea leaves, it’ll affect
“Mr. Safan’s daughter is amazing! She set up a tea booth and gave away free tea. Not only did she manage to use up the old tea leaves, but she also managed to promote the new tea leaves. Plenty of people were asking about it!”“She didn’t just promote the new tea leaves. She even promoted Green Hill and brought tourists here. Our AirBnB is already fully booked!”“She’s pretty, kind, and smart! She’s really the Aphrodite of Tea and Mr. Safan Junior!”When Dimas heard their praises, he smiled. Truly, she would never stay still. …When the sun set, the tea booth closed its doors. Harmonia massaged her aching shoulders and returned to the bungalow. The moment she stepped into the living room, Safan stormed toward her. “I told you to stay put, you brat! But you never listen to me! You just keep causing me trouble! Do you also cause trouble wherever you go?!”Ginevra and Hector pulled Safan back. Even as Safan swung his fist at Harmonia, he was still around thirty meters awa
