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
Hector could not understand it. Safan had always been a fair man, but things were different when it came to Harmonia.“I didn’t ask her to do this. Isn’t it tiring and hard?”Realization struck. “You pity Harmonia—”“I didn’t say that!” Safan denied it and felt embarrassed.But Hector did not expose him and just asked, “So, what did you want to tell me here?”“I’ve booked plane tickets for you two. You’re leaving with Harmonia the next morning.”“Monia’s not going to agree to that.”“Then think of something! Why else do I need you for?!”Hector fell silent. After he left the study room, Hector went downstairs. He saw Ginevra sitting alone in the living room and was looking outside anxiously. He looked around and saw no sign of Harmonia. “Where’s Monia?”“She went to the tea booth. But it’s pouring outside, and it’s dark. I’m really worried.” Ginevra grew more worked up. Upon hearing this, Hector also became nervous. “Calm down. I’ll head over right now.”“Alright.”
The man was Blaed Herb!She had already contacted a private investigator to look into all of Blaed’s crimes. The evidence was about to be delivered to her hands, and she was absolutely going to make him rot in jail. But he had actually got out of detention before she could even get the judge to sentence him to prison? It seemed like he had someone powerful supporting him. The rain continued pouring down, and thunder roared. Blaed gestured at them, and the dozens of men charged at them. Hector shielded Harmonia and fought against them. “Run, Monia!”But Harmonia went forward to help with the fighting instead. With a side kick, she made a man who tried to ambush Hector stumble backward. At that moment, Blaed took out a gun, aimed it at Harmonia, and gave them an evil grin. Hector saw it. He quickly grabbed Harmonia’s hand and wrapped his arms around her to shield her. Bang!The bullet went through Hector’s shoulder. “Hector!” Harmonia cried out. She steadied Hector
