Was there a power outage? There could not be such a coincidence.Just when Harmonia was lost in her thoughts, a warm hand grasped her slender wrist and pulled her into an embrace. Harmonia instinctively raised her hand to retaliate. A scent of ebony and sandalwood wafted over, wrapped in a strong masculine aroma, which was a familiar scent to her, but her movements could no longer be stopped. He suddenly wrapped his hand tightly around hers. Their fingers interlocked again in the pitch-black environment. “Dimas…”Harmonia called out to him, but her voice was inexplicably soft. “Hmm?” He replied with a single-syllable word in a tantalizing tone. He lowered his head, and his hot breath fanned her cheek, causing her fair face to turn red.Fortunately, nothing could be seen clearly in the surrounding darkness.What she never expected was that he would touch her cheeks gently with his slender fingers. Harmonia hurriedly tried to retreat, but he was a step ahead of her and claspe
His movement was quick as he pulled her whole body toward him. She heard a loud noise while she was under his careful protection. Bang! He slammed his fist heavily onto the wall behind her. He needed a place to vent, but he was also worried about hurting her, so he pulled her into his arms.He wanted to protect her completely even when he was about to lose control. Harmonia bit her lip. She wanted to check his hand, but it was pitch black in the room, and she couldn't see anything. She could understand his feelings. If this happened to her, she would be even more out of control than he was now.This was his close relative. His own sister! How could he not lose control? How could he not break down?!“I lost my mother when I was young. My sister is the only close relative I have,” he said.Harmonia’s heart suddenly tightened.His elder sister was just like a mother to him. These words were self-explanatory.She didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she could only gently
Harmonia’s eyes were instantly filled with shock!Her hands that were covering her mouth and nose trembled involuntarily, and two hot trails of tears rolled down her cheeks immediately.Even though she knew that Holly would eventually face such an ending, she never expected it to come so quickly and so suddenly. She could not accept it at all the moment she heard the news, so one could only imagine how devastated Dimas was. She bit her lower tip tightly and stared at Dimas, who was in front of her. His expression was icy, and he looked extraordinarily calm. His tall figure was still upright, but she noticed his hand gripping the sink countertop from the corner of her eye.She knew that behind this seemingly cold exterior, there was unbearable agony.However, she couldn't find a word to comfort him, nor could she find a sentence to console him. After all, there was no word or sentence in this world that could ease one’s pain of losing a loved one. She walked up to him step by st
Dimas released the news of Holly’s death to cause chaos among the Terrans. It was now the perfect time to acquire Terran Construction’s shares. Upon receiving Harmonia’s call, Mr. Smith, who had always been smart and cunning, understood her intention immediately before she even said a few words.“Miss, do you want to change your last name when acquiring the shares?” Mr. Smith had always acted cautiously because he was afraid that the Terrans might suspect her. Harmonia replied decisively, “No need. The last name, Marsh, is a common last name in Nilus City.” Didn't the upper echelon mock her in the same way before? They said that she was a wild girl from the mountains who was powerless without any background and thought that she could establish a relationship with the influential Marshes from Nilus City just because her last name was Marsh as well. The last name, Marsh, might be a common last name in Nilus City, but the Marshes were unique!After the call ended, Harmonia headed
The next moment, the cold muzzle of a pistol was aimed at her lower back. “It wouldn’t be a wise move for you to attack me here,” Harmonia said calmly, maintaining her composure.Felix laughed and said confidently, “I just want to have a good chat with the extremely talented Miss Marsh.”As soon as he was done speaking, his threatening tone suddenly sounded, “Walk inside and head to the lounge on the right! If you dare to make a sound, you’d only be risking your own life!” His hand that was holding the pistol pushed hard against her lower back, making her feel the muzzle of the gun deeply.Harmonia then stepped toward the lounge. She and Felix walked one after the other, and everything seemed completely normal on the surface. The moment they entered the lounge, the bodyguards at the door quickly closed the door. Two bodyguards were standing at each corner of the lounge. Coupled with the two lackeys at the door, there were a total of ten bodyguards, which was a perfect round nu
Her expression changed in an instant, and she looked up at him with a serious expression.“Did you kill my grandfather?”“What are you saying?”Felix couldn’t come back to his senses for a moment, perhaps because he had done too many unethical things.“My grandfather, Peter Rowe, didn't die in a car accident, but he perished in the fire at Empyrean Tower. Were you the one who killed him? Were you also the one who set Empyrean Tower on fire and took away the treasure box containing the Grand Blue Pearl?” When Felix heard Harmonia’s words, he suddenly stood up from the sofa and asked, “You’re Peter Rowe’s granddaughter?” “Yes,” Harmonia affirmed. “Haha! Peter’s daughter got married quietly and disappeared. I didn't expect that he actually has a granddaughter?!”Felix burst into laughter, “That’s right, I killed Peter, and I started the fire at Empyrean Tower. I was also the one who took the treasure box containing the Grand Blue Pearl! What can you do to me?”Felix was absolu
“Wait!” Felix shouted.Harmonia’s heart pounded, and she quickly tried to open the door to rush out, but the door was already locked.“Stop her!” Felix’s voice rang out again.Several bodyguards rushed forward, grabbing Harmonia’s arms and pressing her against the closed door. Harmonia struggled hard!Felix stepped forward quickly, taking a phone out of her coat pocket.“Harmonia, I almost underestimated you again! I didn't expect you to dare to record our conversation. You really came prepared!” Felix snorted angrily, smiling triumphantly as he held Harmonia’s phone, “But remember one thing, the older, the wiser. You’re playing these childish games in front of me. It seems you're really underestimating me!”With that said, he threw the phone into the nearby fish tank in front of Harmonia. Water splashed, and the phone sank to the bottom of the fish tank.“Harmonia, I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Since I’ve already got the 15% shares, I don’t need
A black recording pen was tightly bound to her thigh, standing out conspicuously against her fair skin. Using her cell phone to record was just a bluff.Harmonia smirked and gripped the recording pen in her hand tightly. -About half an hour before the funeral at 9:00 a.m., the upper-class mourners who came to offer condolences had already arrived. Expressions of condolences accompanied by the sound of mourning music were heard incessantly.Harmonia and Monica were responsible for receiving the condolence gifts. After the mourners presented condolence gifts and signed their names, Harmonia and Monica handed out tokens of appreciation to them.The prominent families in Nilus City were the Terrans and the Marshes, both of which were equally competitive. Now that the Terrans had suffered an unexpected incident, it was only natural for the Marshes to come to pay their respects. Everything had to be handled properly. As the current chairman of Marsh Consortium, Hector attended the
