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.
“My niece is awake. I wonder if Aureole Media is interested?” Alessia instantly reacted when she heard this. She nodded repeatedly.Dimas then shifted his gaze to Hector and Harmonia’s departing figures. Alessia naturally had her ways for her to be able to become the High Society Inspection Committee for the upper echelon. She immediately opened her umbrella and rushed down from the Alphard, shouting loudly, “Monia! Monia, there’s an update!”Alessia sprinted a hundred meters and rushed to Harmonia’s side. She was panting as she said, “M-Monica is awake!”Upon hearing this, Harmonia immediately looked at Hector and said, “Hector, I have something else to do. I won't go back with you for now.”Hector was stunned and caught a glimpse of Dimas, who was not far away, from the corner of his eye.His expression hadn't changed, but it was so dark and inscrutable.-Monica’s head had hit a rock, but it wasn't serious. She had already been transferred to a VIP ward.Dimas had long
“Nilus Serene Cemetery.”-The rain gradually eased, and a figure in white stood in front of a tombstone in the tranquil cemetery.Holly had been buried an hour ago, and the tombstone was adorned with yellow and white flowers.Monica burst into tears and could not say a word. She wiped the tears away forcefully as she gently placed a beautiful carnation down.“Mom… Why did it end up like this? Why is Dad the person who killed you? Why is it him?!”Monica could not understand. Even now, she still could not comprehend why Felix would do such a thing. Perhaps, she would never be able to understand in this lifetime.Monica took a deep breath and cried even more miserably as she said, “I heard in the news that Dad jumped into the river, but I don’t care whether he lives or dies. He's insane, and he brought this upon himself, but can you wake up? Mom, I miss you so much…”“I promise you that I'll study hard. I'll definitely get into university, and I won't dye my hair red. I won't ma
At that moment, inside Terran Mansion. Several bodyguards had already subdued Monica to the ground, and the knife had been kicked several meters away.“Are you trying to stab your own brother to death?!” Absalom’s expression turned fierce as he glared at Monica who was subdued on the ground.“Your life will be over if I take you to the police station now!”Monica raised her head to look at him. “Take me to the police station, then. Call the police now and have them arrest me. Hurry up!”Even under Monica’s constant provocation, Absalom gripped his cell phone tightly, hesitating to make the call.Monica smiled and said, “If news of me attempting to kill my own brother gets out, it'll be another heavy blow to the Terrans and Terran Construction. You care so much about interests, so how could you possibly take me to the police station? It’s the same case with Mom! Instead of insisting on an autopsy, you and Dad cremated and buried her hastily. You told me that it was in order to pres
