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
A beam of righteous light shone into the dim hall!Dimas was dressed in a black suit, exuding a chilling aura as he said, “It’s only right and proper that murder is punished by death.”The moment his words fell, police sirens blared! Police lights flashed, and well-trained police officers rushed out of their cars, aiming their guns at Felix, who was on the stage. A figure disregarded everything and rushed up at that moment. “Mom didn't die suddenly but you killed her? Did you really kill her?! Dad! Is the recording real? Is it true?!" Monica questioned Felix relentlessly as she grabbed his arm tightly.“Tell me! Tell me that the recording is fake! Tell me that you’re not the person who killed my mom!”She couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept any of this. She couldn't accept that her beloved mother was killed by her own father. She also couldn't accept that in just a few days, her complete family had been torn apart. She had already lost her mom and was now about to lose her
“Do you want me to show you a headshot in order to prove myself?” Chief Jansen thought to himself, ‘Hmm? Just as I would have expected from Dimas’ woman. She’s really brave!’Chief Jansen had already found what he considered to be the best shooting position for Harmonia, but Harmonia shook her head and chose another position that she deemed was best. As she turned around, she said, “Chief Jansen, trust the people you employ.”Soon, Harmonia reached the optimal position. Chief Jansen, who was holding the binoculars, was puzzled.“Why is this woman just like Dimas, who always prefers the farthest spot? Does distance make it easier? But this is too far…”-Felix’s SUV arrived at the entrance of the hall. He held Monica hostage as he walked out of the hall, opened the car door, and shoved her into the driver’s seat, then ordered her to climb into the passenger seat. Monica crawled into the passenger seat with teary eyes. Felix then got into the car. The moment the car door clo
Absalom’s questioning voice rang out, “When the recording was exposed, Felix looked at you immediately. Even though the voice of the person talking to Felix in the recording had been altered, it can still be heard that it's a woman's voice.”“I asked Felix’s bodyguards, and they all confessed! It was you who schemed against Felix!”Absalom’s tone was incredibly certain, but these words sounded particularly ironic to Harmonia. She furrowed her brows and retorted, “Revealing the truth turns out to be scheming in your opinion? Aunt Holly died so suddenly, so why didn't you insist on an autopsy to determine the cause of death? Instead, you agreed to cremate her body early? Ask yourself, is it really because you wanted Aunt Holly to leave with dignity?”Harmonia used the most aggressive tone to question him.Absalom frowned, falling into silence.The next moment, Harmonia answered her own question, “No! You wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible and keep it quiet. You didn'
