He was wearing a long coat and had a slender figure. The night was deep, and they were the only two people on the quiet street.

Harmonia wanted to cross the road, but he stopped her. He looked at her, shook his head, and mouthed to her, “Wait for me where you are.”

Harmonia understood, so she didn't move and just watched him through the falling snow.

He then stepped forward with long strides, determinedly walking toward her.

“Why are you here?” She asked.

“To take my young lady home.”

Before Harmonia could react, he had already opened his coat and pulled her into his arms. Warmth enveloped her, dispelling the cold. Snow fell on their heads...

Their figures, one tall and one short, were stretched by the light from the streetlamp.

Harmonia's eyelashes trembled slightly as she blushed.

The long night should have been cold, and the streets should have been lonely, but at this moment, it was bright and warm.

Back in the small broken house, snow had piled up.

    “Hmm?”He raised an eyebrow, his cold and handsome features softening because of her, and he no longer looked harsh. He took a step forward, holding her cold hands and tucking them inside his coat, pressing them tightly against his waist.He bent down, and his handsome face came closer to hers, his nose touching hers.Harmonia instinctively wanted to step back, but his hand suddenly tightened, pulling her into his embrace.Her cheek hit his sturdy chest, and she listened to his strong heartbeat.Thump, thump, thump—Each beat was knocking on the door of her heart.“I don't understand. Monia, can you explain?” He pretended not to understand, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.She bit her lip, her fair cheeks blushing red.Her eyelashes fluttered, and snowflakes fell.That sweet voice, tender and not cloying, echoed in the silent observation deck. “The snowflakes everywhere are love letters I wrote to you.”Her answer was obvious.In his deep eyes, there was only her fi

    She had clearly prepared herself mentally, but those few words just couldn't come out of her mouth.“Grow old together,” He said softly, uttering those four words.Harmonia suddenly looked up and met his gaze.“You saw it?” She asked. The words ‘Snow falls, and we will grow old together’ were carved on the boulder. “The snow isn't thick enough, so I saw it,” He explained.“The scarf isn't big enough, so I saw it too,” She retorted.He looked at her and smiled as he said, “Do you have to be so shy in front of your boyfriend?”“Dimas Martinez!” Harmonia huffed, playfully hitting his chest.He caught her hand, afraid that her punch would hurt herself.“Monia.”“Hm?”“Isn't it inappropriate to call your boyfriend by his full name?”The term ‘boyfriend’ was still new to Harmonia, and she felt unsure for a moment.She blinked, wide-eyed.However, she quickly recovered, suppressing a smile, and immediately replied...“Can't I call you by your full name? What should I call yo

    “It’s impossible for me to simply look out for myself and be without a care in the world as long as this conflict involves you, but don’t worry. I won't let you have any worries.”She would take care of herself, and she would protect herself. She wouldn't be his weakness, nor would she burden him.He gazed at her, and their eyes met. He knew his young lady was capable, but he couldn't be by her side, so he couldn't shake off his worries at all.The phone rang.Dimas answered the call, and Mac urged him. Time was tight, and there was no room for delay.Harmonia knew and understood it all.“Wait for me to come back,” He said in an extremely gentle tone as he held her delicate and beautiful face. She squinted her beautiful eyes as she smiled brightly. “Mm-hmm. I'll wait for you.”Their hands that were held together turned into intertwined fingers as they walked down the mountain. The cold breeze blew under the warm sunlight. The ribbons, which were tied to the fence not lon

    Dimas smirked ambiguously and said, “Your assumption was indeed wrong. My woman is one of a kind. She has both an attractive appearance and an interesting soul that’s unparalleled.”When Rio heard this, as the biggest fan of this relationship, he was screaming in his heart!Wasn’t the meaning behind his boss’ words obvious?!There was only one Miss Marsh in this world, and she already belonged to him!This was definitely sweet talk!So, why were they standing there dumbfounded? They should go and enjoy the sweetness and dive into it to the fullest.Harmonia reached out and tugged his sleeves lightly. “I’m not as great as you make me out to be.”He lifted his hand and gently touched her cheek with his knuckles.“I really can’t praise you too much. There are plenty who covet you. Dealing with rivals is a waste of our time.”Time was precious.Harmonia blinked shyly and instantly felt as if she was about to blush. She finally understood that all the chaotic feelings were hin

    Penny’s whole body felt stiff all over. Even though her body was warm, she couldn’t move her torso at all. She was just a young girl and had not experienced the world yet. She had always been well protected, so she didn't know how to hide her emotions and unease at the moment.“Since you think of me as your sister, why don’t you tell me who that man is?” Harmonia's tone was gentle without any intention to blame Penny in any way. She just wanted to understand the whole situation and even find a way to help her deal with it properly.“Blossom…” Penny bit her lip and said, “I haven't been dating early.”“I believe you.” Harmonia nodded confidently.“You believe me?”“Yes. Hiding a man and dating early are two different things.”Penny paused for a moment and murmured to herself, “In that case, hiding a little man seems more serious, huh?”Harmonia rubbed her forehead and said, “So, you know that too?”Penny pouted, looking pitiful and aggrieved as she asked, “Blossom, how did you k

    “Huh?”“Mr. Dimas and I are mutually infatuated.”Penny felt like she had been struck! A single person really had no rights! Even the air was filled with envy. After that, Penny assured Harmonia repeatedly that this was just a one-time thing and would not be repeated. Harmonia then asked to meet this little man who had captivated Penny’s heart and said that the man would have to leave Blackath City, at least before Mac came back. Although Penny was reluctant, her rationality told her… what would be the consequences if her brother knew about the little man? She might just get scolded or have to reflect on her actions, but the little man would definitely have a miserable outcome.Ever since Harmonia had helped her retrieve her mother's belongings, Harmonia had gained her trust. Combined with seeing her exquisite beauty and unbeatable charisma, Penny had long treated her like a sister. She absolutely believed in Harmonia and trusted her to handle this matter properly.Finally, Pe

    She was just making things worse by exaggerating, so it was better not to say anything at all. What kind of young girl would pick out the color of underwear for a man? It was so embarrassing. Harmonia suppressed a laugh, but Hector remained calm.After spending these days together, he already knew what kind of person Penny was—quick-witted, straightforward, and innocent, without any scheming at all. However, helping him pick out underwear colors was something he never expected of her. He thought she had just randomly bought them. What was even more awkward was that he was currently wearing the meticulously chosen checkered underwear she had gotten him.As Hector thought about this, his calm expression finally showed a bit of fluctuation. Harmonia looked at him and continued to suppress her laughter.They then had breakfast together.Hector apologized to Penny, explaining that for safety reasons, he had pretended to be mute. Penny was not a petty person, and she was understand

    “No! Don't touch me!”“Help! Help!!!”“Ah—"Cries and screams sounded together! Harmonia and Hector followed the sound and rushed into the alley. They then saw Penny, who was vulnerable and helpless, being dragged out from the corner by a pair of rough hands!Her clothes were dirty and almost torn apart! Hector cursed and swiftly rushed forward. He forcefully pulled the man away, delivered a fierce kick to his lower abdomen, then pressed his head hard against the wall. The man's head burst open from the impact, and he fell heavily to the ground!“Penny!” Harmonia called out her name.Penny opened her eyes when she heard the familiar voice. She was overwhelmed with fear the moment she saw Harmonia and threw herself into Harmonia’s arms.“Harmonia…” Penny sobbed.“Don't be afraid. You don’t have to be afraid anymore, it's okay.”Harmonia comforted her, quickly wrapping her coat tightly around her, intending to help her leave.Bang!At that moment, gunshots rang out again, an

    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
