Harmonia bit her lower lip. As her clenched hands relaxed, she lowered her gaze and nodded stiffly. The word ‘okay’ which felt like a lump in her throat also sounded rather awkward. Hector heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Harmonia’s answer. “I will find a way to get the Grand Blue Pearl.”Harmonia was puzzled for a moment and could not help but feel doubtful. Did Hector know of the whereabouts of the Grand Blue Pearl?“Monia, you have to keep your promise.”Hector held her hand tightly, and as he let go, he said ‘Goodnight’ to her.“Goodnight, Hector.”-It was destined to be a restless night. The executives of Terran Construction returned home one after another only to be greeted by a gift package that had just been delivered. When the ‘gift package’ was opened, for some, it was a pleasant surprise, but for others, it was a bomb!Absalom’s confidants panicked immediately. They had been in this tricky business world for so long, so it was impossible for them not to
“I’m downstairs.”Harmonia subconsciously looked toward the direction of the balcony door. She pulled a corner of the curtain back and saw the towering figure standing under the streetlight.She decided to pretend as if she hadn’t seen the message. Perhaps he would leave after a while.However, he was still standing downstairs after fifteen minutes had passed. He was still there even after half an hour had passed.Why hadn’t he left yet?!Harmonia kept pressing the remote control and changing channels, but her gaze remained fixed on the direction of the balcony.Another ten minutes passed. Had he left? After struggling internally for a moment, Harmonia decided to sneak a glance.Sure enough, he still hadn’t left!At that moment, the voice from the television sounded: ‘The temperature in Nilus City has dropped sharply tonight, and the first wave of cold breeze with rain is coming! Nilus City Metrological Department has issued a cold wave warning.’Harmonia’s grip on the c
His tall figure blocked the bright light from the roof of the car, and he held her chin with his slender fingers before he leaned down to kiss her lips.Her eyes were dim, and her gaze was hazy as she fell deeply into his eyes, which looked as profound as the galaxy and as deep as the sea as it shone quietly.The intense scent of agarwood enveloped her, carrying a unique hormone scent, almost as if it wanted to devour her, wrapping her entirely.The lights in the car dimmed at some point.His husky voice echoed in her ear, “What’s mine is yours.”“Young lady, you said those words yourself.”Harmonia blinked, and her long and curled eyelashes fluttered. In her drunken state, she could not understand the meaning of Dimas’ two sentences.A drunk person always sought more alcohol, and Harmonia was no exception.“Beer…”“I just gave you some.” He curled his lips and smiled evilly.“Liar!”She was furious.“Dimas is a jerk. He stole my drink, he lied to me, and even kissed me!
He refused to be convinced until he was faced with the grim reality. Dimas smiled again, and his calm and firm voice sounded, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’re one of Micah’s men.”Hector’s expression underwent a dramatic change as soon as Dimas said these words. After Rio received news that his boss was drunk and could not drive, he rushed to Heron Bay Villa immediately without stopping. However, he did not expect to witness everything personally. He wanted to rush forward several times but was stopped by his boss's gaze. Otherwise, he would have drawn his pistol and protected his boss long ago.As Dimas put the pistol away, he walked past Hector and stopped in his tracks as he said coldly, “I won’t harm you for her sake. But if you harm her in the slightest, I will make sure that you suffer endlessly.” After saying that, Dimas walked away, preparing to leave, but Hector kept questioning him, “Are you trying to involve her in Dairkth’s disputes by doing this? Aren’
“I want this peace amulet!” The woman said arrogantly, then took out a black card from her Hermes bag. Harmonia looked at the arrogant and domineering woman, and she felt that she looked somewhat familiar. Harmonia felt as if she had seen her somewhere before. The saleswoman was caught off guard when she encountered such a situation. Although she had been trained for such unexpected situations before starting work, she had never encountered a situation like this before. “I’m sorry, Miss, but we have a first come, first serve policy at Jadice Haven. We have to make sure that these two customers aren’t buying it before we can sell this peace amulet to you,” The saleswoman hurriedly apologized embarrassedly. The woman was even more displeased upon hearing this. “How long have they been looking at it? If they wanted to buy it, they would have already bought it!” As she spoke, she glanced at Harmonia and Colton. “If you like something, you should buy it right away. What's the p
Yevee was stunned for a few seconds and said irritably, “What are you doing? Are you trying to rob me in broad daylight because you can't afford to buy the peace amulet?” “If I want to, I’ll take advantage of your body instead. What's the point of robbing your money?” A billionaire like her was not short of money.Yevee panicked for a moment and quickly covered her body with both hands. “What?! I'm not into that stuff! Stay away from me!”Harmonia looked at Yevee’s demeanor. She was so arrogant just a moment ago, but she seemed so helpless and weak now. Harmonia did not want to continue teasing her anymore. If she really scared Yevee, Shane would definitely come after her. That would be detrimental to her campaign for president of the Nilus City Chamber of Commerce.“The peace amulet you just bought is worth thirty thousand dollars, at most.”“All the items sold at Jadice Haven are all genuine. My dad personally said so. How could this be fake goods?” Yevee obviously did not
Harmonia sneered and tossed her identification card in front of the saleswoman. The saleswoman’s face instantly turned pale. This was the identification card from the Jade Association. With this expert certification, one would be qualified to appraise jade jewelry.In other words, even if a difficult customer called the police today and the police arrived at the scene, it would be difficult for the police to determine the price of the jade. They would need to contact the Jade Association and ask experts to identify the price range of the item.To put it bluntly, the item would be worth whatever Harmonia said the item was worth.Harmonia did not expect the expert certification she had casually obtained during university to come in handy.The saleswoman's face turned pale, and she instantly begged for mercy repeatedly.In the end, the peace amulet was sold for twenty thousand dollars, and the saleswoman agreed to refund 1.78 million dollars to Yevee’s bank account. Although Jadi
Before Harmonia had time to react, rotten eggs and vegetables were thrown at her. A hand suddenly grabbed her slender wrist and a familiar scent came over. A large coat was wrapped tightly around her.“Hide in my arms and don't come out, okay?”It was Dimas. He was here. Dimas hugged Harmonia tightly in his embrace. She hid under his coat in his embrace.Her cheek pressed against his chest, and she could feel his warm body temperature through his thin clothing.Rotten eggs and vegetables kept hitting her feet, emitting a foul stench. The scene soon fell into chaos.This incident happened at the entrance of Jadice Haven, but no security personnel came out to stop it, allowing everything to happen.Rio soon came with bodyguards to clear the way. Dimas saw a man in a suit standing in the window of the opposite building.He was smoking a cigar, showing an arrogant smile as he moved his lips up and down gently, saying, “Long time no see, Dimas.”He was provoking Dimas.
