“Since congee is good for the stomach, let Linelle stay in detention for a month and nourish her body well.”Harmonia looked at Dimas, who was standing outside the car. Dimas was truly a master strategist!Drinking nothing but plain porridge for a month, one couldn't help but lose a significant amount of weight. This move not only retaliated in kind but also doubled the effect.She had no grudge against Linelle, yet Linelle had cut off her three meals a day, replacing them with barely satisfying plain congee and side dishes. She didn't emit any saintly aura nor did she plead for Linelle.Furthermore, as an adult, Linelle had to face the consequences of her actions.Mac's expression tightened outside the car when he heard Dimas's words. He quickly spoke up, “Mr. Martinez, to be honest, Linelle's father is not only our family's driver, but he also saved my sister's life. Her father died saving my sister, and the Shaws owe her a debt of gratitude. We owe her a life. I know what she d
Harmonia felt a bit embarrassed, and her ears turned slightly red.Dimas, on the other hand, remained unusually calm and said, “Was I calling her?”“Yes. You called her countless times.”“It can’t be helped. After all, I think about her every day.”-Mac had to experience Dimas’ public display of affection for Harmonia.Rio then immediately recounted the hardships he had experienced over the past five or six days.It would originally take a two-hour flight to get from Dairkth to Blackath City, then a transfer by car would take about five or six hours in total.However, after the explosion at the beast colosseum, Solzen was in chaos, and Solzen was the main road to Blackath City.Rio was worried it would cause trouble, so he had taken a big detour, walking on mountain roads for three or four days before finally reaching Blackath City.Mac then revealed the doubts he had harbored for many days. “I still can't figure out what happened with the explosion at the beast colosseum. I
When Harmonia snapped out of her trance, she found herself off the ground again, placed on the cabinet by him.“W-what happened? Why did you get down from the bed?! You're still injured!”Harmonia wanted to push his chest away but she dared not and didn't know where to start. After all, he was wrapped in layer upon layer of bandages.He didn't make any presumptuous moves and simply looked at her, his deep eyes entirely focused on her.“Quick, get back to bed!” Harmonia's expression and tone were both urgent.Dimas raised an eyebrow, grabbed her body, and carried her toward the bed. His movements were effortless, lifting her with no difficulty at all.“Your injury!”Harmonia dared not move. She was like a wooden doll, afraid that any movement would cause his wound to open up.He placed her on the bed, his towering figure just a few centimeters away from hers. If he leaned in slightly, they would be tightly pressed together. His clearly defined hand gently fell on her forehead, s
“You’re looking for me?” Harmonia was puzzled but also intrigued.Penny nodded.“You’ve misunderstood Linelle. It was Mr. Charles from the detention center who told Linelle that your stomach wasn't feeling well, so she specially went to the detention center and spoke to the person in charge to change your food to congee that’s nourishing for the stomach.”“It was the person in charge who couldn't handle things properly. You’ve misunderstood Linelle’s intentions. You thought she wanted to trouble you, which led to her asking you to be fed congee!”"I know you definitely feel uncomfortable for being wronged. Linelle had good intentions but ended up causing trouble. Why not let her apologize to you? You shouldn't be so harsh, right?”“Linelle already has stomach problems. Are you trying to kill her by making her drink congee for a month? Besides, I see your complexion is healthy, and you're still in a relationship with Mr. Martinez, so how can you be feeling unwell?” Penny's voice
Harmonia hesitated for a moment and then nodded.His lips curled up slightly, his handsome face drawing closer to hers.“So, I can also educate you.”This wasn't a question but a statement! A definite one!“I'm not… Mm!”A kiss sealed her lips.Harmonia's eyelashes trembled incessantly. She felt flustered and at a loss. She was talking about Penny, not herself!Dimas, this jerk!He wanted to steal a kiss from her and still needed a proper reason.So, this was what lay behind his gentlemanly demeanor!Their lips touched, lightly exploring, and it felt just right.His husky voice sounded in her ear, “Monia, my…”Answer.“Mr. Martinez!”Before he could finish his sentence, Rio rushed in.Damn it!Did they not check the almanac today? Did getting a promotion require choosing an auspicious day?! Harmonia had already kept a certain distance from him!This blockhead, Rio, didn't notice anything unusual nor did he feel the sweet atmosphere in the air. He just charged in like a
“Have you ever thought about why the beast colosseum exploded?”Micah's eyes widened suddenly, and the moment he saw Absalom, he immediately asked, “Mr. Terran, what do you mean by this?”Absalom chuckled lightly and replied, “I went to observe the scene. There were a total of twenty explosion points carefully selected at the scene.”Micah was shocked and exclaimed, “I knew this explosion wasn't accidental, but what do you mean by carefully selected?”“The beast colosseum is a century-old building known for its sturdiness. The explosives at the scene should not have been enough to shake the beast colosseum, unless…”Absalom changed the subject.“Unless what?” Micah continued to inquire.“Unless someone found a weakness in the beast colosseum and targeted it precisely.”Micah looked at Absalom, who remained calm. He had almost forgotten that the Terrans were renowned in architecture. Absalom wasn't just knowledgeable; he was also an industry elite.Micah understood. He complete
“Harmonia.”Micah felt somewhat surprised when he heard this. Who would have thought that Absalom was such a romantic?That night, Micah approached Hector and brought up the reconstruction of the beast colosseum and asked him for the design blueprints under the pretext of paying him a visit. Hector naturally couldn't produce the blueprints since he had already given them to Harmonia.Micah immediately flew into a rage, accused him of being a traitor, and locked him up. If it weren't for Absalom reminding Micah to keep Hector alive because he was still of some use to them, Micah, in his rage, would have undoubtedly killed him.Throughout the ordeal, Hector remained exceptionally calm. Since the moment he had handed the design blueprints to Harmonia, he knew this day would come, but what he didn't expect was for it to come so quickly. Given Micah's arrogant and self-assured character, after suffering such a big loss this time, he would definitely not let it go easily. Learning that
As the words fell, he raised his hand and pressed down hard on Hector’s wound!The wound had just been sutured, and the moment it was pressed hard, it tore apart with force.Hector endured the pain, not making a sound. He gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead. He glared coldly at Absalom in front of him, and their eyes locked in a tense standoff. It was a crazy confrontation!Blood oozed out. Absalom watched the blood drip down and chuckled.The unhealed wound was forcefully pressed, causing intense pain as if his internal organs were being twisted together.“Absalom, stop dreaming! I won't let you hurt Monia again even if I have to die!”Hector gritted his teeth, each word squeezed out through clenched teeth, a convergence of blood and tears.Finally, Hector couldn't hold on any longer and passed out from the pain.Absalom grabbed a few tissues and wiped the fresh blood off his palms.He then opened the door to the ward. The doctor was already waiting at the door.
