The moment he saw her, he could not help but call out, “Monia.”Harmonia didn't respond and did not even look at him.Absalom’s hands on his knee suddenly clenched tightly as he felt an indescribable sense of discomfort in his chest. Was there truly no place for him in her heart anymore? At that moment, applause erupted.The former president, Shane, entered the venue. He waved his hand, smiled, and took a seat in the middle.The election then began.The first step was for the candidates to take the stage one by one and give impromptu speeches. The seven candidates drew lots, and Harmonia was fifth. The speeches were all prepared in advance. To put it bluntly, it was basically the same, and everyone was just going through the motions.The second step was the focus, where the seven candidates had to answer sharp questions from representatives of major companies.The people were obviously afraid of Absalom, and they refrained from asking him questions out of fear that they would
Mr. Parish, who was dressed impeccably in a suit, appeared in front of everyone with a walking stick in his hand. Mr. Parish held a very significant position in the upper echelon. With him showing support for Harmonia, the representatives at the scene wouldn't dare to say much anymore. Moreover, Mr. Parish had always been modest, but he was asserting his power now? This showed how defensive he was of Harmonia. Mr. Parish stepped forward, glared at the representative, and yelled angrily, “A person cannot choose the kind of background they come from. If we are really going to talk about backgrounds and reincarnation, then in my opinion, even if you are reincarnated eighty thousand times, you still wouldn’t be able to match up to her!”The representative who was previously arrogant and sarcastic toward Harmonia couldn't utter a word now. He quickly lowered his head and apologized repeatedly as he said, “I'm really sorry, Mr. Parish. My ability to express myself is limited, and I expr
A man sat smoking a cigar with his long legs propped up on the table, watching the live broadcast. He was surprised at first, but couldn’t help but laugh out loud after that. His assistant beside him was equally astonished and exclaimed, “Mr. Micah, I didn't expect that Harmonia would actually be this capable! She actually managed to deal with Mr. Parish?”The man smirked when he heard this.“I thought she was weak and delicate, but it turns out that she's a fierce one, huh? This woman, Harmonia Marsh, is quite interesting.”He finally understood why Absalom could not forget about her.What was the point of power, status, and money? Wasn’t it to conquer challenging women like her?“The harder it is to get, the harder it is to let go!”He took a puff of his cigar. Just then, the live broadcast camera moved to the south side of the second floor of the venue.The expression in the man’s eyes suddenly changed. A few seconds later, he exclaimed softly, “Dimas! So you were the one w
Harmonia quickly changed the subject!“But opening up Dairkth’s business to the Nilus City Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly an in-depth strategic cooperation. Shouldn't there be a formal document for this? Of course, I'm not doubting you. I’m just considering the interests of the entire Nilus City Chamber of Commerce.”Harmonia’s words hit the nail on the head. The representatives on the scene also nodded in agreement.Everything meant nothing without paperwork or a contract. He was no different from a liar who bragged and a boss who made promises to his employees without delivering. As soon as these businessmen learned about his true identity, saw the signet ring on his thumb, and heard about the opportunity to do business with Dairkth, which would fill their pockets, they happily forgot everything and nearly fell into a trap.These days, you need proof even for withdrawing money, let alone such a big business deal.The man was prepared for this.“Harvey,” The man called out
Dirty thoughts were a million times more disgusting than narrow-minded thoughts! Harmonia looked at him coldly and said, “According to your logic, I have to doubt your sexual orientation as well. I wonder, who’s the woman and who’s the man in your relationship with Absalom then?” If he thought of her in a certain way and spoke to her in a certain manner, she should simply return the favor!Harmonia’s perfect response made the man's mouth twitch slightly. She chuckled slightly, then turned to face the representatives in the audience and turned on the microphone in her hand as her voice resounded, “A parliament where not all members are present is invalid, and such a document is worthless; it's just an empty promise. Of course, you can take advantage of this loophole, but who will bear the consequences when things go wrong?”“You?” Harmonia asked coldly as she looked at the man with a stern expression.All the representatives present gasped. After all, she was talking to the Third
Harmonia snapped back to reality and looked at him.What was going on? Was Trashy-Ab withdrawing from the election?“I hope that you will become the president of Nilus City Chamber of Commerce,” Absalom’s gaze fell on Harmonia.For a moment, Harmonia had the illusion that Absalom was helping her. He left the hall before she could react. Wow! The situation for this election was totally unprecedented! The other candidates followed suit and withdrew from the election as soon as Absalom did so. There was no need to start the third round, and there was no need to vote. Harmonia won the game without even trying.Mr. Parish chuckled. He was the first to stand up and applaud, shouting, “Congratulations on becoming president, Miss Marsh!”Shane naturally reacted immediately. He went up to the stage and handed Harmonia Nilus City Chamber of Commerce’s exclusive seal.It was a simple handover ceremony, passing the torch to ensure the prosperity of Nilus City’s business district.Mr.
Harmonia looked up at the towering building in front of her, which was also the location of the election hall.She looked down at her phone and at her WhatsApp conversation with Dimas.Before the recent message, there were two other WhatsApp messages he had sent during the election.The first was about the Fourth Prince not attending the parliament, and the second was his message of certainty: ‘Young Lady, you are destined to be the president of Nilus City Chamber of Commerce.’“Destined to be…” Harmonia murmured.She clenched her phone and furrowed her delicate brows. Her brother still hadn't replied to her WhatsApp messages until now nor had she received any news from him. She still had so many questions about that night—why did Dimas and her brother fight? Why did Dimas point a gun at her brother?As for today's election—how did Dimas know that the Fourth Prince didn't attend the parliament? She was still full of doubts.After thinking it over, Harmonia decided to go to the
A soft ray of moonlight fell on the 360-degree panoramic glass, illuminating the entire 89th floor.Harmonia used this beam of light to look around, only to discover that the 89th floor was actually the design of a suspended glass!At this moment, she was completely surrounded by transparent glass.She could see the scenery of Nilus City just by looking down, and she could see the starry sky when she looked up. If she looked into the distance, she could see the view of the bay. This was definitely the best observatory and the most beautiful stargazing tower.Countless stars filled the sky, almost as if she could touch them if she reached out her hands. “Dimas?” Harmonia instinctively called out.She looked around. Where was he?At this moment, projected words appeared on the glass illuminated by the moonlight and starlight. It was just a few simple words: ‘I'm waiting for you at the end.’Harmonia was momentarily stunned. She followed the direction indicated by the arrow and w
