This connection naturally arose.

Ren was puzzled and asked, “Huh? A man? But weren't you asking me to investigate a woman?”

“Yes. She's trying to steal a man from me.”

“Oh, I see! Anyone who dares to steal your man must not be let off!”

“Exactly.”

After the call ended, Ren got to work immediately.

A prestigious family like the Marshes, having weathered storms for a hundred years, definitely had some formidable allies.

Soon, Ren's investigation report landed in Harmonia's inbox.

Meanwhile, Harmonia was at the Nilus City Chamber of Commerce conducting a member meeting. The members of the Chamber of Commerce were shrewd, appearing polite on the surface, but two-thirds of them had been causing her trouble in one way or another.

During her absence from Nilus City, many matters of the Chamber of Commerce were left unresolved and mishandled.

These sly old men were simply sitting idly without doing much.

Now, they were making suggestions for Harmonia to change her name.

    The call ended abruptly.Harmonia didn't get a chance to ask anything before a series of beeping noises interrupted. Harmonia knew Monica's personality very well. She wouldn't fake it; the crying just now must have been genuine.Harmonia's expression tensed, her hand holding the phone froze, and she started trembling uncontrollably.He was in the operating room!Before leaving the village, although his wound was mostly healed, it hadn't fully recovered.Could there be a problem with the wound? Or did he get injured again later without receiving timely treatment?Harmonia bit her lip, and she felt extremely confused. On the day their engagement was announced, she chose to leave Dairkth. One reason was because of Harris’ extremely affirmative words, and the other was his behavior of not resisting the engagement at all.She understood Dimas very well. If he didn't want to, no one could force him to do anything.So, she didn't think much about it and naturally assumed he willingl

    The mansion beneath the snow-capped mountains looked vast, with roses airlifted in, known as the ‘Hermes of Flowers’, arranged amidst the white snow, forming a colorful display.The snow was pristine, and the roses bloomed vividly.Dimas was the most favored Fourth Prince by the royal family, and he was considered the future successor.Nara was the eldest daughter of the prestigious Kenwoods in Dairkth, which was essentially the royal treasury. The importance of this engagement banquet could be easily imagined.There were no media reporters on-site. The aristocrats and nobles arrived early, seating themselves in order of precedence. The engagement banquet soon began.Dimas stood on the stage, his upright posture and cold demeanor coupled with a white suit exuding an aura of nobility.As the music played, amidst the applause, Nara appeared in the sight of everyone.She looked at Dimas on the stage with a particularly charming smile. This was the man she had waited for over twenty

    “I've been waiting for you for so long, my young lady. Is this enough to express my sincerity?”His face, so enchanting, was now filled with a doting smile, and the coldness in his deep eyes disappeared in an instant.At this moment, Dimas, in front of her, was like a warm embrace in this winter, a warmth meant only for her.Facing his sudden gesture, Harmonia's lips parted slightly. She was utterly stunned.She stood there in a daze, unable to snap out of it for a moment.Her flickering red dress paired with his white suit was like red roses blooming in the snow outside. They were truly a perfect match!Harris couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this scene and heard Dimas' confession of love without reservation. He wanted to applaud. So, it turned out that breaking from the norm wasn't just the young girl, but him, the Master of Schemes!Monica, who couldn't handle things, had already begun to wipe her tears secretly, making it unclear if she was scared or moved to tears.

    “I didn't even intend to hold you. I saw you kneeling on the ground and was worried about your knees hurting, so I kindly tried to help you up. I know you didn't want me to hold you, let alone ruin your engagement banquet. You left with me because you were worried about the innocent people being harmed by those one hundred cannons, but rest assured, there were only cannons, no bullets. It was all just for show.”“I came here today with no other intention. It was you who pursued me in the first place. Now that you're engaged to someone else, don't you owe me an explanation? Just because you have a high status, it doesn't give you the right to bully someone like me, a lower-class person…”Harmonia became more and more innocent and pitiful as she spoke.The cool and dominant woman who ruled the hall just now had now become a pitiful figure.Her innocent expressions were so spot-on and were truly distressing. However, despite her lively demeanor, every move she made touched his heart,

    Mauricius didn't even have time to angrily scold him before the call was abruptly disconnected.“Dimas said that today's events were all his arrangements, and he will give us a reasonable explanation.”Castell’s face turned livid with anger, but constrained by his status, he could only grit his teeth.“I wonder what explanation the Fourth Prince is prepared to give? What kind of explanation could possibly make my daughter and I accept everything that happened today?”Nara sat below the stage, crying with her face covered. She had waited bitterly for over twenty years just to get engaged to Dimas and become his woman, right?She was on the verge of success only to have it ruined by a woman of unknown origin. Didn't he like someone named Blossom Mandel, who was an ugly duckling? What was going on with this woman today?Nara couldn't understand no matter how hard she tried to figure it out. However, the grievances and humiliations she suffered today turned into endless resentment

    After all, the wooden box was made out of special material and could only be opened using a special method. Of course, brute force could work, but the cost was the destruction of the Grand Blue Pearl! The loss would outweigh the gain. Moreover, this method of cracking had been lost for over a thousand years!Harmonia took out the necklace from her neck in front of everyone and placed the pinky ring in the circular recess of the box. It fit perfectly. The moment the ring was placed in the groove, the surface of the box sank entirely.Harmonia’s movements were slow as she pressed the groove with her slender fingers, turning left three times and then right three times. With a click, the wooden box, which had been sealed for over a thousand years, opened. The Grand Blue Pearl appeared!Although the one hundred and eight redwood beads were thousands of years old, they retained every bit of their radiance. Mauricius’ expression changed suddenly, and his pupils shook! He never expect

    However, Harris was all smiles. As the saying goes, one should never hit a smiling person. Coupled with Harris's status, Castell could only hold back and endure it silently. Harris continued smiling and said, “You can blame today's events on me. I have some acquaintance with the young girl. She said she wanted to see the royal engagement banquet, and I agreed on a moment of impulse. As for those hundred cannons outside, that was also my fault. There's a training base at the foot of the snow mountain specifically for artillery training. They were supposed to be sent for security.”“Unexpectedly, in order to disrupt the engagement banquet, the young girl casually said something, and you actually took it seriously?” Castell's expression changed as he looked at Harris. He couldn't bear it any longer and asked, “According to you, this is my fault, then? I shouldn't have been fooled by a woman?”"How could it be?" Harris continued to smile as he said, “If you were fooled, wouldn't that m

    “Then, let's have a competition!”Mauricius nodded in agreement. If even Mauricius agreed, what more could Castell say?After that, Jenell immediately formulated a plan. Harmonia and Nara would train together, and after three months, they would compete. When Castell saw the details of the competition, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Just two of the listed items, dancing and embroidery, were skills Nara had been learning since childhood. Without a solid foundation in these two areas, it would be impossible to master them in three months. Castell felt that Mauricius and Jenell favored the Kenwoods, but when facing this so-called chosen one, there must always be a valid reason. It had to be a reason that would make her retreat and acknowledge defeat.Since the opportunity was given, Castell couldn't afford to disagree, directly challenging the authority of the royal family. He calmly agreed to this competition. After that, he bowed to Mauricius and Jenell and left.Harmoni

    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
