Mauricius didn't even have time to angrily scold him before the call was abruptly disconnected.โDimas said that today's events were all his arrangements, and he will give us a reasonable explanation.โCastellโs face turned livid with anger, but constrained by his status, he could only grit his teeth.โI 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?โNara 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.Harmoniaโs 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. Mauriciusโ 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, โYou 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.โโUnexpectedly, in order to disrupt the engagement banquet, the young girl casually said something, and you actually took it seriously?โ Castell's expression changed as he looked at Harris. He couldn't bear it any longer and asked, โAccording to you, this is my fault, then? I shouldn't have been fooled by a woman?โ"How could it be?" Harris continued to smile as he said, โIf you were fooled, wouldn't that m

โThen, let's have a competition!โMauricius 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

โThatโs not it,โ Dimas put the tip of his tongue to his cheek and smiled devilishly as he said, โMonia can.โMauricius couldn't help but be speechless.He didn't expect his son, who had always been pure and not interested in romance, to get caught up in the whirlpool of love. Not only that, but he was also a romantic!โSince she's so important to you and you're determined to deal with the Kenwoods, why involve her in this mess?โUpon hearing his father's question, Dimas fell silent for a few seconds.โThe matter with Micah made me realize I almost lost her because I thought I was providing her safety.โโBut you also know very well that the Kenwoods' influence is enormous, far beyond what Micah could handle. This time, it'll be even more dangerous. She will only become a burden to you if you keep her by your side!โHe knew.He knew better than anyone else, but he believed in his young lady.He looked at Mauricius, his expression as calm as ever, his voice low and powerful...โ

โA hair tie.โHarris looked extremely surprised, โHow did you know?โHarmonia also felt extremely astonished when she said those words. She didn't know why she had thought of a hair tie and couldn't understand why she had blurted it out subconsciously.She had only been to Dairkth once before to participate in the opening of David Spencerโs โFinding Daddyโ appraisal agency. Besides that, she had no knowledge of the customs, culture, or history here. She couldn't possibly know what was inside the Queen's wooden box. So, her spontaneous response just now had only one possibility.โI guessed it.โIt was probably to symbolize their marriage and their deep love for each other. Even in the toughest and most difficult moments, the family of three managed to stay together.Harris thought she guessed too accurately and asked dubiously, โYoung girl, seriously, do you have some kind of superpower?โAt his age, it was the first time he had seen such a remarkable young girl.โWhy are you as

โCan't you look at it from inside the house?โHarris scratched his head. It seemed like that was the case, but he was an elder, so how could he be scolded by his junior? He immediately looked at Harmonia. The young girl would surely help him. After all, he was an elder to her as well.โYoung girl, do you think that watching the snow scene in the pavilion gives a real sense of being there?โ Harris asked with pride.Harmonia smiled and nodded gently, โYes.โShe knew if she didn't speak up for Harris now, he would definitely scold her for being heartless. After all, he had lent her those hundred cannons so readily.Harris looked proudly at Dimas, โDid you hear that? Even the young girl thinks so. Let me tell you, this pavilion is the best place to watch the snow scene!โDimas looked at Harmonia and raised his eyebrows, โYou still want to watch it?โHarmonia wanted to shake her head. It was just too cold. Her long, curly eyelashes blinked as she thought of how to politely refuse so

โI make the rules.โHarmonia was dumbfounded. Her attempt to get out of his arms failed once again.He arrived at his residence, and the cold-toned interior decor appeared even colder in winter. Harmonia shivered involuntarily.When Dimas saw this, he frowned slightly and quickly instructed someone to raise the temperature. Harmonia immediately shook her head, stopping him as she said, โIt's warm here.โโYou were shivering just now.โโThis was what made me feel cold,โ Harmonia said, gesturing toward the layout and color scheme of the house. โA young loverโs home shouldn't be like this.โHe smirked and said, โSo, what should Harmonia's young lover be like?โHarmonia had a sudden inspiration. โLeave it to me?โHe nodded, then immediately instructed the servants to cooperate. His residence was indeed too large with a predominantly cold color scheme. It would be extremely difficult to even change it partially.Harmonia could only start by making changes to his bedroom first. Chang

Quinn was startled. โW-what?โโI wasn't locked up here because I ruined your father's business and he is seeking revenge on me.โโWhy are you locked up here, then?โAbsalom frowned and replied, โIt'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.โQuinn 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.โYou're his daughter, and once he falls, you might not be safe either.โQuinn 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. โSheโฆ She answered the call?โ His heart felt a sharp pain that hurt a million times more than the wounds on his body.That one word โauntโ 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, โYes. I've already told her about you. Don't worry, they'll definitely come to rescue you!โโI'm familiar with the paths at home. If conditions permit, I'll guide you when the time comes.โHe snapped back to reality, rejecting her without a second thought. โNo need. You've done enough for me already by saving my life.โQuinn looked at him and said, โNo. I have to see you alive and rescued before I can feel at ease.โโWhy?โ He asked.She was puzzled. โWhat do you mean why?โโNo one cares about my life,โ 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.โTomorrow is your sister's assessment day, and I've been invited to Snow Manor.โQuinn nodded softly and asked obediently, โIs Nara confident that she will win?โUpon hearing this, Castell snorted with great dissatisfaction, โThere's no such thing as losing among the Kenwoods! She will definitely be the winner!โQuinn 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, โIn that case, Iโll stay at home and wait for Dad and Nara to come back victorious.โOnly then did Castell nod begrudgingly.โOkay, go to sleep now.โQuinn 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.โThatโs impossible! How could I get it wrong?! You must have made a mistake!โShe gritted her teeth at the last sentence.Madam Judd chuckled and said, โAll three of these are fake.โNara had an incredulous expression as she shone the flashlight on them again.โThe 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?โThe proud Nara was embarrassed by Madam Judd and couldn't find a way to save herself from embarrassment for a moment. โUnderstood,โ Harmonia nodded.Nara had to reluctantly say, โUnderstood.โMadam 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, โThis is the jade appraisal expert, Madam Judd.โHarmonia and Nara greeted her. โMadam Judd.โMadam Judd nodded, pretending not to recognize Harmonia.โLet

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 โeven these two rascals have their daysโ.Coincidentally, Mac walked out.โWhatโs going on?โHarris immediately explained, โThe 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!โMac burst into laughter, โI donโt 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.โAfter Jasper calmed down, he also realized his mistake deeply. He was born w

โTwo people, two favors.โ Two was two and could not be less. Harris failed to play dumb. โYouโre really good at calculating!โHowever, he had no other choice. After all, he could not handle these two people on his own! His head would ache whenever they argued. โOkay, two favors it is, then!โ Harris agreed. Dealing with those troublemakers really gave him a headache.โTell me, what two things do you want me to do for you, then?โ Dimas said calmly, โIโll leave Moniaโs safety in your hands in ten days.โHarris was taken aback. โHuh? Isn't that girl at Snow Manor? With your mother there, her safety should be absolutely guaranteed.โโIโm still worried.โโWhy don't you take care of her safety yourself, then?โAs he spoke, Harris counted his fingers. He suddenly came to a realization.โIn ten days? Wouldnโt that be the day when Harmonia and Nara will be taking their assessment together?โDimas nodded.โYou're leaving the base?โ Harris understood and asked.โYes.โโWhere are you

โYouโre really killing me.โHarmonia 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 โcall in progressโ 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.โI will.โHarmonia heaved a sigh of relief, feeling worried as she said, โBut 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.โHaving 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, โMonia, what did you have for dinner tonight?โJust 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
