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
Both of them had just received the same news. The police said that fishermen had found Felix’s body on an abandoned fishing boat, but he was already dead. However, the exact cause of death still needed to be determined after an autopsy. This news immediately spread throughout the upper echelon and continued fermenting across the entire internet.-Monica’s legs went weak, and Harmonia quickly held her. She collapsed into Harmonia’s arms and was unable to say anything. She kept trembling incessantly.Harmonia frowned and hugged her tightly as she comforted her, “Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.”Monica burst into tears and sobbed, “The murderer clearly deserved to die, but why did it have to be my father? Why?!”Felix naturally deserved to die, but no matter what it was, he was still her father. Blood was thicker than water, so it was too difficult for her to remain indifferent to his death. It was something she could not do.Harmonia comforted Monica and tried to stabilize her
A man in a black suit with a round beer belly walked in. Absalom had an extremely displeased expression. Even though he tried to suppress it, the violent factor within him continued to act up.Absalom said sternly, “Mr. Zuber, you’re the Terrans’ family lawyer. I asked you to handle inheritance-related matters. His last name is Martinez, so does the Terrans’ family affairs have anything to do with him?” Mr. Zuber wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had always been in good health, and he never expected to be afraid of a heart attack at the age of retirement. He gulped and said, “It originally does not relate to him at all, but I received an email from your mother. It contains photos of her writing a will personally as well as a video that she recorded herself.” As Mr. Zuber spoke, he took out a tablet and pressed the play button. In the video, Holly first accused Felix of being the real culprit behind her murder, then designated her brother, Dimas, as Monica’s guardian. She als
Tessy yelled. She raised the document in her hand high and said, “This is the will that Felix left before he died. It has been notarized, and he left everything in his name to Luna!”When Tessy learned that the Terrans were going to divide the inheritance, she rushed over with Luna without hesitation. Mr. Zuber was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that this couple would both have prepared their own wills in advance.He confirmed Felix’s will immediately. After some confirmation, he affirmed that the will was indeed authentic and valid.Luna had inherited Felix’s assets, and Monica had inherited Holly’s assets. Absalom was left with nothing. Harmonia really wanted to laugh. It was truly satisfying.The person who cared most about interests had ended up getting nothing. In the end, he ended up making a fool of himself during the division of assets. After the division of the inheritance was completed, Mr. Zuber quickly left without even taking a sip of tea. Monica’s eyes we
Harmonia was dumbfounded. After verification, it seemed that Monica did not side with outsiders at all. Dimas smiled brightly. Harmonia’s cell phone suddenly rang“I'll go out to answer a call.”With that said, Harmonia hurriedly walked out of the ward.As soon as the call was connected, Absalom’s unusually gentle voice sounded, “Honey, are you at the hospital?” The word ‘honey’ instantly made Harmonia grimace in pain.“Yes,” Harmonia replied indifferently.“How is Monica?” Absalom asked to show his concern. “She’s weak physically, but she’s fine,” Harmonia continued to answer perfunctorily.“I’m waiting for you in the hospital parking lot. Come down immediately,” Absalom commanded.“I’ve got it,” Harmonia said perfunctorily again. After the third time, she headed toward the direction of the elevator. She wanted to see what selfish and ruthless things Absalom would do again to shatter her principles!-The two met in the corner of the underground parking lot. “Hone
“It’s unnecessary for you to remarry, but it’s necessary for you to address her as your aunt.”As these words fell, the pistol pressed even closer to the back of his head, pushing forward forcefully.“What do you think?”Dimas’ voice was extremely cold, like the devil from hell, suppressing the aura of death.Absalom’s figure remained unmoved, but his expression tensed up. At the same time, Harmonia quickly reached back and held a small army knife against Absalom’s left chest. She raised her head and met his eyes as she said, “Absalom, I returned that debt to you a long time ago back in the old mansion when I was on the brink of death. After that, your attempts to win me back again and again were just a pitiful attempt to gain my sympathy so you could use every means possible to achieve your goal. Do you even know what love is?”“Love is gentle and brave. It’s not about charity, not about commanding people, and not about suffering needlessly.”Absalom chuckled. He spoke up with
Dimas furrowed his brow, and his eyelids twitched rapidly a few times. Was this the benefit she wanted? The next moment, he walked up to her and held her left hand with his left hand and her right hand with his right hand.“Young rich woman, will this do?”Harmonia was dumbfounded. This was completely unnecessary!-Absalom drove to Rocco’s villa, sat at the bar area, and downed glass after glass of liquor. Every word Harmonia said echoed in his ears, poking mercilessly at his heart.Absalom had already finished a whole bottle of 1982 Lafite before Rocco had even finished drinking a glass of wine. “Ab, are you drowning your sorrows because of what happened to your parents?” Rocco asked. Absalom glanced at Rocco and replied, “No.”“What's the reason, then? What could possibly make you feel so troubled, Ab? Haven’t you already won the beauty over?” Rocco asked. A crashing sound sounded as soon as Rocco was done speaking. Absalom crushed the glass in his hand immediately.
Harmonia shook her head and ticked the box indicating her marital status.“Alessia, with the Chamber of Commerce adding marriage as a requirement, who do you think will be the best choice for Absalom now?” Alessia slapped her forehead, instantly understanding Harmonia’s words. -Within a few days, the wedding invitations for Absalom and Luna’s wedding were secretly delivered to the upper echelon. The wedding was scheduled for a month later, but they chose to keep it a secret from the public and only invited the upper echelon of Nilus City.It had not even been a year since the death of both his parents, but he was getting married again. This move was truly incomprehensible.While others might rise in rank and wealth after their spouse's death, was Absalom rising in rank and wealth after his parents' death?Soon, Absalom’s second marriage garnered a lot of attention! The whole internet was buzzing with discussions.The affairs of the upper echelon were truly fascinating, but
