“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.

    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.

    The anesthesia wore off and Hector woke up. He covered the wound on his abdomen, enduring the intense stench, and crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. There were few people around the mass graves.Hector followed the mountain path, stopping from time to time. He kept going until dawn, using the last bit of his strength to stumble into the shrubbery and pass out completely.After some time, a clear voice sounded. “Hey… Hey, little guy? Wake up!”After a series of calls, Hector gradually regained consciousness. When he saw the unfamiliar girl, he was cautious and quickly pushed her hand away. Penny was a little angry and spoke frankly, “Why are you so fierce? If I hadn't gone into the mountains for a sketching trip and found you, you would have died here for sure! I've been calling you for half a day and my throat is already sore! I'm not asking you to repay the favor, but do you have to be so rude?”Hector looked at the girl holding a paintbrush toolbox and gradually came to

    Quinn was startled. “W-what?”“I wasn't locked up here because I ruined your father's business and he is seeking revenge on me.”“Why are you locked up here, then?”Absalom frowned and replied, “It's complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a short time, but if I'm rescued, it means that there will be one more piece of evidence against your father.”Quinn bit her lower lip. She understood.If he were rescued, her father's actions of injuring him and imprisoning him would no longer be a secret.“You're his daughter, and once he falls, you might not be safe either.”Quinn hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now, Absalom's words weighed heavily on her heart.Even though her father had never cared about her and was always distant and cold toward her, and even though her sister bullied her since childhood, every word and action showing contempt toward her, they were her family, and that was something she couldn't change.Moonlight shone into the cellar throug

    Absalom froze in place while holding the snacks at the sound of those words. “She… She answered the call?” His heart felt a sharp pain that hurt a million times more than the wounds on his body.That one word ‘aunt’ was something he didn't want to hear but couldn't deny. They were together, weren't they?Quinn continued to disinfect his wounds, not noticing his expression as she went on and said, “Yes. I've already told her about you. Don't worry, they'll definitely come to rescue you!”“I'm familiar with the paths at home. If conditions permit, I'll guide you when the time comes.”He snapped back to reality, rejecting her without a second thought. “No need. You've done enough for me already by saving my life.”Quinn looked at him and said, “No. I have to see you alive and rescued before I can feel at ease.”“Why?” He asked.She was puzzled. “What do you mean why?”“No one cares about my life,” His eyes dimmed with sorrow.He even wondered if it would have been better if he

    Castell looked at her. His gaze was devoid of warmth but rather, it was as indifferent as cold water.“Tomorrow is your sister's assessment day, and I've been invited to Snow Manor.”Quinn nodded softly and asked obediently, “Is Nara confident that she will win?”Upon hearing this, Castell snorted with great dissatisfaction, “There's no such thing as losing among the Kenwoods! She will definitely be the winner!”Quinn shrank back in fear when she saw the ferocity in his eyes, and she did not dare to say another word. She simply nodded, forced a smile, and said, “In that case, I’ll stay at home and wait for Dad and Nara to come back victorious.”Only then did Castell nod begrudgingly.“Okay, go to sleep now.”Quinn waved to him and then turned to leave.The helicopter slowly ascended, gradually disappearing into the night.After Castell left, Quinn entered the room under Mrs. Clint's watchful eyes.After about an hour, Mrs. Clint entered the bedroom, made sure Quinn was asleep

    Madam Judd's tone was gentle yet firm.Nara was stunned.“That’s impossible! How could I get it wrong?! You must have made a mistake!”She gritted her teeth at the last sentence.Madam Judd chuckled and said, “All three of these are fake.”Nara had an incredulous expression as she shone the flashlight on them again.“The jade has been soaked in strong acid, impurities washed away, then injected with glue. The methods of counterfeiting are becoming more sophisticated, reaching a point where it's hard to tell real from fake. To discern the authenticity of jade, one needs keen eyesight and extensive experience to make judgments. Just because you've seen more and possess more jade doesn't mean you understand more. Do you understand now?”The proud Nara was embarrassed by Madam Judd and couldn't find a way to save herself from embarrassment for a moment. “Understood,” Harmonia nodded.Nara had to reluctantly say, “Understood.”Madam Judd then immediately began the lesson.Though

    She had an uncontrollable nosebleed as blood kept dripping from her nose. She hurriedly bent over, and the drops of blood fell into the sink. Despite the flow of water, it was still extremely alarming.Harmonia did not know what was wrong with her, but after about a minute, she managed to stop the bleeding. She frowned, suspecting that it might be due to heatiness. With about fifteen minutes until nine o'clock, she quickly changed her clothes and hurried toward the appraisal room.Even before the training began, Jenell had already made arrangements for preparations at Snow Manor in advance. The tools in the appraisal room were already prepared.Harmonia and Nara arrived successively.At nine o'clock, Jenell appeared.However, the person who appeared with Jenell shocked Harmonia! It was actually her!Jenell introduced, “This is the jade appraisal expert, Madam Judd.”Harmonia and Nara greeted her. “Madam Judd.”Madam Judd nodded, pretending not to recognize Harmonia.“Let

    Both Jasper and Nancy were dumbfounded. Dimas simply stood there with a strong, calm, and intimidating aura, which made people tremble with fear even without him losing his temper. Jasper and Nancy obediently admitted their mistakes. One was in his early twenties, and the other was about to become an adult, but here they were, behaving like kindergarten kids, loudly promising to be model siblings in the future.Harris laughed heartily, his face showing an expression of ‘even these two rascals have their days’.Coincidentally, Mac walked out.“What’s going on?”Harris immediately explained, “The siblings were quarreling, but their father isn't here right now, so the elder brother stepped in as a father figure to educate them properly!”Mac burst into laughter, “I don’t want to say too much, but you should quarrel less with Nancy. She's not in good health, so you should be more considerate toward her.”After Jasper calmed down, he also realized his mistake deeply. He was born w

    “Two people, two favors.” Two was two and could not be less. Harris failed to play dumb. “You’re really good at calculating!”However, he had no other choice. After all, he could not handle these two people on his own! His head would ache whenever they argued. “Okay, two favors it is, then!” Harris agreed. Dealing with those troublemakers really gave him a headache.“Tell me, what two things do you want me to do for you, then?” Dimas said calmly, “I’ll leave Monia’s safety in your hands in ten days.”Harris was taken aback. “Huh? Isn't that girl at Snow Manor? With your mother there, her safety should be absolutely guaranteed.”“I’m still worried.”“Why don't you take care of her safety yourself, then?”As he spoke, Harris counted his fingers. He suddenly came to a realization.“In ten days? Wouldn’t that be the day when Harmonia and Nara will be taking their assessment together?”Dimas nodded.“You're leaving the base?” Harris understood and asked.“Yes.”“Where are you

    ‘You’re really killing me.’Harmonia whispered goodnight to him again, then stuffed her cell phone under the pillow as she prepared to have a good sleep.Dimas, who was at the base, also put down his cell phone at the moment. He looked at the simple layout diagram carved on the bottom of the box and turned on his laptop immediately to reconstruct it. At the same time, he called Mac to investigate Castell's second daughter.At first, Mac thought Dimas was joking. Everyone knew Castell only had one daughter, Nara. How could there suddenly be another daughter? Dimas then told Mac about the content of the phone call Monia had received. Mac immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Before confirming whether Absalom was really in the wine cellar in Kenwood Mansion, he needed to confirm whether Castell really had a second daughter.After hanging up the phone, he acted quickly. Since she was a living person, there was no way she could not be traced.Mac's efficiency was

    The air seemed to freeze at this moment.The phone clearly displayed the ‘call in progress’ message, but it was as if it was affected by signal interference, and nothing could be heard until his cold voice broke the icy silence.“I will.”Harmonia heaved a sigh of relief, feeling worried as she said, “But rescuing someone from Kenwood Mansion won't be easy, right? That place is definitely a dangerous spot. How do you plan on rescuing him? Furthermore, we can't guarantee that this isn't a scheme orchestrated by Castell.”Having finally received news of Absalom, of course, it couldn't be given up on, but the authenticity of the news also needed to be confirmed.Dimas simply smiled without answering Harmonia's question but instead changed the topic and asked, “Monia, what did you have for dinner tonight?”Just as Harmonia was about to answer, a knock sounded at the door. Her heart jumped, and she acted swiftly and quickly tucked the phone under the blanket.She then pretended to be
