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'
A big black umbrella moved backward, revealing that incredibly handsome face. The man was wearing a suit, and his broad shoulders were stained with water droplets, but he paid no attention to it at all. He glared directly at Absalom with a sharp and cold look in his eyes. Harmonia seized this opportunity to push Absalom aside.“Chief Jansen, did you see that?” Chief Jansen, who was suddenly prompted, was caught off guard. Dimas’ voice sounded sternly, “He’s threatening a girl in broad daylight. Since when did bandits rule Mount Nilus?” Chief Jansen covered his mouth, coughed, and said, “Isn't that your nephew?”“Can’t you see that I'm sacrificing family for the sake of justice?” Chief Jansen thought to himself, ‘I can tell. You’re getting angry because of a beauty.’After that, Chief Jansen immediately acted as a mediator as he started to reconcile both sides. Absalom had to show Chief Jansen some respect due to his status. In the end, Absalom could only apologize to Har
The rain continued to fall, but the umbrella was tilted toward her side. The rain wet his coat, leaving most of his body drenched.Harmonia raised her hand to adjust the umbrella, but he had quick eyes and hands, and he held her hand directly. They held the umbrella together, but it became even more crooked.Harmonia raised her head and met his eyes, “Mr. Martinez, why don't we cooperate?”“Haven't we already cooperated today?”“Did we?” Harmonia was puzzled.“I leaked the news of my sister's passing, and you acquired Terran Construction’s shares and exchanged them for the recording of Felix’s confession, exposing it at my sister's funeral. Isn't that cooperation?” It was indeed quite the perfect match.Harmonia pondered for a moment. It did seem like cooperation. “This might be a coincidental cooperation, right?”Dimas smiled and took a step forward. Harmonia wanted to take a step back, but he held her waist and pinned her under the umbrella.“Or should we say that we understa
Hector disregarded everything and rushed up to Dimas directly as he raised his hand to punch him. Dimas’ reaction was extremely fast; he turned his head slightly, dodging the attack!Just as Hector was about to strike again, he stepped sideways and used his umbrella to block him. His swift movements demonstrated his superb combat skills.However, Hector was no pushover. That sturdy black umbrella was instantly ruined, falling to the ground and splashing water everywhere, soaking their leather shoes.The rain grew heavier, soaking their suits thoroughly in the fierce downpour.“As expected of Absalom’s uncle. What's the difference between the two of you?”Dimas frowned slightly. He was somewhat puzzled by Hector’s sudden words.“One betrayed my sister, and the other wants to force himself on my sister!”Absalom had indeed betrayed Harmonia. That was the truth, but when had he tried to force himself on Harmonia?Harmonia was not one to be messed with, both in terms of personali
“A rich woman lacks nothing indeed aside from one thing missing from their household registration. Can I help you fill in that missing spot?”Rio looked anxious. He didn't have such good hearing, so now, he couldn't hear anything.Before Harmonia could respond, Hector quickly stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders. At the same time, Dimas had already taken the umbrella from Rio's hand and handed it to her. Harmonia was stunned for a moment until Hector's voice sounded, “Are you hurt? It’s all my fault. I was impulsive and couldn’t hold back that punch just now.”Harmonia snapped back to reality and said, “Hector, I know you're worried about me, but you can't just attack Mr. Martinez without distinguishing right from wrong.”“I met Absalom in the parking lot, and he told me himself that Dimas wanted to apply medicine on your injured back. He even got a nearby police officer to testify, and the police officer confirmed it.”The policeman Hector mentioned must be Chief Jansen.
